From the moment we arrived we were happily greeted by the staff member at the bureau, he shook my hand wished us Good Morning and took our details with a smile on his face. He then showed us to our room and made sure we had access to the WiFi, he then told us where all the facilities were and how to access the roof terrace. The room itself is what you get. I paid £11 a night for this accommodation. The room shows its age, the bed is a bit hard and there is only one plug socket. I paid £11 a night for this room and it was purely a base for our stay here in Marrakesh and for that it was brilliant. Noise carries through the building, and it seems to be a favourite for backpackers and those also looking for a cheap stay for a night or two, so do bare in mind that you can hear every conversation going on outside in the foyer and there was also a dawn’s chorus of nesting birds every morning up on the rooftop terrace - which I didn’t mind. Upon leaving our stay here at Hotel Aday, again the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Making us aware of the late check out time, calling a taxi for us to the airport which was a fixed price of 100 MAD. The staff member who checked us out even took us out to meet the driver! Overall, great stay at this Riad. Some fixtures could do with updating and one of the toilet doors doesn’t fully lock but again - £11 a night! Honestly would book again if I was passing through Marrakesh!

Basic rooms but clean and very safe. The property location is convenient for exploring the city. The taxi from the airport dropped us off within a five minute walk. We got there very late (after midnight) and the managers were extremely helpful and responsive to calls and texts.

We only used the Raid for a few hours to store our suitcases, we would never stay in a place like this, best suited for backpackers, especially since you have to share a bathroom.

The location is good for walking around the market square and accessing restaurants. There is no A/C and noise travels as though it is in your room. The property needs maintenance; you have to hold the shower head as the fixture is broken, door handles are falling off. There was one plug in the room but so far from anything your phone just dangled while charging. Often no toilet paper available; no clean towels.

You get what you pay for kinda. I travelld in winter and the room was on the ground floor, right infront of the lobby. All the noise from the lobby could be heard in the room through the late hours. The room had no heating provided and because the rooms are made of tiles, the room was basically an ice-box! I'd give the place a 7/10 but my experience was definitely a 5/10

Simple rooms in central location
We booked in advance but upon arrival the owner told us that it was full and we were accommodated in Hotel Amal next door. The room there was about the same, small sized 8m2 with a sink but enough for one night before heading to the airport. Since all rooms face into the hallway, you can hear people walking and talking downstairs. The owner of Hotel Aday however is very friendly and helpful. He also offered to print our boarding passes which was great. Both hotels are very central and good value for the price compared to what other hotels charge in the area. The alleyways to get to the hotel can seem intimidating at first, but they are totally safe even at night.

The hotel is in a good location and seemed clean, and the staff member was friendly. Unfortunately I was not able to stay as they did not allow my bike in the room or offer a secure place to lock my bike inside. I found a different hotel across the street which had no problem allowing my bike inside.

Excellent budget stay. Unreal Value
Excellent location, mins from Jamaa Fna, look for Les Premiere Restaurant and Snack Toubkal (fab breakfast 2.30 dirham), alley in between, go down for a min taking a right when u see a sign for Hotel Essoursia. Hotel Aday is to the left down this second alley. Really quiet. Had room 15, family room with sink for 25.10euro a night(2adults, 3 kids). Shared bathroom but no issues at all. We stayed here two nights as wanted to experience the Medina/square. Our hotel, Labranda Rose Aqua Park, a four star hotel, for the other 12 nights we are in Marrakesh hadn't such a warm welcome, in fact a stressful check in and no WiFi in the rooms. Hotel Aday WiFi was excellent. Room was warm but a lovely warm. Had been looking forward to enjoying the roof terrace but unfortunately no views n no real family seating. Snack Adam a pizza place is fab on the alleyway (two pizzas, four chips and large water 8euro) and a little shop next door for drinks/milk. We brought a travel kettle for own tea/coffee. This is a great value budget hotel so be realistic in expectations, its spotless clean and safe and beautiful decorated doors.

AVOID the tiny windowless rooms.......
I originally booked a single room with a shared bathroom. The single room was essentially a tiny jail cell in the foyer of the hotel. It would have been horribly noisy and stuffy. I say "would" as I paid the extra upon arrival and got a larger room with a window and bathroom which was very nice. Great location and clean.

Average run down hotel in the medina
The location is Right in the middle of the medina, so if that's what you want, perfect. If you want a unique experience, and are feeling adventurous, sure go for it. It's probably a lot like a lot of the other low budget riads in the area. It was fine, but if you want to have the comfort of a normal, tourist hotel, book something in the new town. It's really not bad or dirty or anything. But it's more run down and a very very small room. My room had just enough space for a double bed crammed next to the wall, and a tiny sink. Nothing bad about it and if you want the experience, and are in a budget, go for it. But if you're in a vacation and want a nice place to relax and put your feet up, this is not the place to come.

The hotel was fine. It was in a perfect location right in the medina. I went in January and there was no heating whatsoever and we were freezing cold unless we were under the blankets. The wifi was verrrry poor. The host was very awesome and very helpful though.

Clean, simple & budget
Simple budget accommodations inside the Marrakech medina. Internet was good, room clean but very small & basic. Staff is friendly and provides recommendations for exploring the city and a map on request. If you're used to "backpacker" style accommodations, this is a decent spot for exploring Marrakech.

Nice hotel in the Medina
This is a perfect place to stay and explore Marrakesh. The square is 2 minutes away, the staff is very kind and the facilities are in good condition. The only bad thing is that you can hear people talking in the hall on your room, but staff is always trying to keep the noise down so you can sleep well.

Great location at a great price
I had a wonderful time at this hotel. Its price reflects it's standards a basic room in a great location. The staff are friendly and informative and the hotel offers non alcoholic drinks at a small cost. There is no air conditioner but there is a nice rooftop chill out area to relax in.I would recomend this hotel to solo travelers or people on a tight budget

Nos timaron, con otro hotel mucho más inferior
Reservamos con tres meses de antelación y dos días antes nos dicen que nos cambian a otro hotel cercano dos noches, el cual era mucho más inferior al contratado, muy sucio, viejo, las sábanas sucias , deprimente, una toalla por habitación para dos , en .al estado. Muy mala experiencia, eso no era lo que reservamos. Éramos 6 personas,nos sentimos engañados. En estos casos cuando te cambian por vender más habitaciones de las que tienes , te dan una categoría igual o superior, pero en este caso todo lo contrario.

Dit was de tweede keer dat we hier een week verbleven. Ook nu hebben we het weer heerlijk gehad. Het personeel is erg aardig en behulpzaam. De locatie is goed. Vlak bij het plein maar het is relatief luidruchtig. De kamer is net iets groter dan het bed, weinig ruimte voor de koffer. Heel veel ruimte heb je hier eigenlijk ook niet nodig we zijn veel op pad geweest om Marrakesh te ontdekken. Klein dakterras. Goede prijs -kwaliteit. We waren heel welkom en hopen volgend jaar hier weer te komen. Bedankt voor de heerlijke week.

Preis Verhältnis okay
Die Lage ist gut, aber es ist dafür relativ laut. Das Zimmer ist nur etwas grösser als das Bett, man hat kaum Platz für den Koffer. Im Zimmer gibt es nur ein kleiner Waschtisch, Etagen WC und Dusche sind im Gang. Für Europäische Standard, nicht besonders sauber.
