The staff was EXCEPTIONAL! They were so kind, helpful & polite. They are there 24/7 to let you into the secured building (we got in after 1 am, so we were very pleased to be greeted by one of them at the main square, to help with our luggage) The breakfast was lovely (rolls, Danishes, cheese, eggs, jam, peanut butter, fruit, juice, coffee). Every inch of the hotel looks authentic and decorated exactly like what you would picture Princess Jasmine to live in. The outside is very unassuming, but once door 52 opens, it's like you are entering Narnia. The bath tub is huge and we also had a separate shower. Our room was very quiet. The rooftop is very pretty and has a view of the area and you can go up there with a beverage or snack and hang out. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Only that the hotel was a bit of a walk off the main square (we hadn't researched it, but it was ok). When the streets are not busy, it's not that far, but we got in late and the markets were very lively so it was a little bit of a struggle with our luggage. Our friend was woken very each day by the call to prayer, so some rooms must face the mosque. In that case, bring or buy ear plugs.

I recently stayed at Riad Yamina52, and it was a fantastic experience! The staff was incredibly welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The riad itself is beautifully decorated with a traditional Moroccan charm, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, with thoughtful touches throughout. Breakfast each morning was delicious and freshly prepared, showcasing local flavors. The location was perfect for exploring the area on foot, yet it still felt like a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. Highly recommend Riad Yamina52 for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable stay in Marrakech!

The staff at this riad were excellent. Very attentive and kind. The Riad was in an excellent location in the middle of the Medina which is very welcomed when you are walking around the chaos of Marrakesh. We were able to duck back when we needed to use the toilet - which we found very helpful. I recommend organising a porter for your bags and a taxi to accompany you to the Riad as the medina is very overwhelming. The Riad took care of this for us. The room was kept extremely clean throughout our stay and all in all it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Breakfast was welcomed and served with elegance.

My only grumble was that this Riad is actually three Riads together so there are a lot of rooms which means finding a space to socialise and talk or chill-out was difficult. The terrace which is our usual go to had rooms at the same level so even on New Years Eve we had guest complaining that we were making to much noise. I found this frustrating as the terrace is usually where you can go to socialise. The room we were in did not have curtains so opening the windows meant no privacy which is difficult also. The bed was only a double so difficult to share. But location was great so it is a balancing act between what you are looking for.

Myself and my husband enjoyed our stay at Yasmina52. The Riad was beautifully decorated. The room was clean and comfortable. But more than that, we loved the hospitality of the staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful, specially the manager. Thank you so much for making us feel homely. We miss all your beautiful smiles and the delicious breakfasts 😋. The location of the Riad was perfect. It's only a short 5 min walk to the main square, and we felt very safe returning in the night. We also enjoyed the Hamame facility in the Riad.

Actually, there was nothing. The only minor recommendation would be to have a shower curtain so that the rest of the bathroom stays dry.

The Riad was close to Jemaa el-Fnaa, exactly as we wanted for our first two days in Marrakech to get a lay of the land, and it had a wonderful (small and private) hammam so we didn't have to go outside of the riad to experience that. Also, very beautiful riad and exceptional service. I accidentally left behind my iPhone AirPods when we left, and I messaged them, and they gladly kept them for me, until we got back to Marrakech a week later. We didn't stay with them the second time (they were fully booked), but they were so gracious and kind when I came to pick up my AirPods. That kind of honesty means a lot to me.

Try to get a room upstairs. We had a room downstairs, and outside of the bedroom and bathroom was a breakfast table, so during breakfast hours it was a little awkward that the people right outside could hear everything that's going on in your space. If you don't mind that, that's fine. It's just for a couple of hours in the morning. But the room itself was gorgeous.

Fantastic central location. The Riad is stunning and authentic. Felt like an oasis. Our room was beautifully decorated and colourful. The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. It was my birthday during our stay and they organised a cake for me and delicious birthday dinner at the Riad. We had a lovely massage too. And breakfast everyday had an array of options. They gave us great recommendations for local lunch spots nearby too. We recommend staying here and we will helpfully be back!

Nothing! We loved everything.

This Riad was AMAZING! Magical. The decor was a beautiful representation of Moroccan design and architecture - absolutely stunning. We did not want some cookie-cutter hotel experience; we wanted to experience the local culture. The location was great. You don't want to stay right at the market...too noisy. This was just far enough away for peace and quite, yet a short walk to the market. The breakfast was authentic Moroccan food - delicious. The host, Moha, and staff were first rate; gracious, helpful, and totally accommodating. Don't be shy to ask for help or to learn: how to get around, where to shop, customs, how to negotiate, where to eat and not to eat (many foreigners get sick from eating at the local food stands). They made restaurant recommendations and reservations. We were offered hugs upon departure, which we readily participated in. When we left, they arranged for the taxi and physically escorted us (carrying luggage) a distance to the cab.

I would change nothing: this Riad and their service couldn't have been better. Comments about Marrakesh in general....Just be prepared for the market...the vendors can be very aggressive. We had to learn fast. Again, depend upon Moha to guide you in how to shop. Offer half what is requested and be willing to walk away. The vendors make sure that they make a profit and will ultimately tell you or will let you walk away. A win, win, for all.

We had an amazing four-night stay at this riad in Marrakech! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Medina yet wonderfully peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The facilities were stunning, with both the serene courtyard pool and the rooftop terrace with breathtaking views. Our room was beautifully designed, clean, and comfortable. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and authenticity.

The staff was super friendly, picked us up from our taxi drop off on the first day and highlighted some key landmarks for us to remember so we wouldn’t get lost. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay, so many delicious options: breads, cake, pastries, yogurt, fruit, jams. We got asked in the first day what we like to drink (tea/coffe) and the team remembered that for the rest of the stay and greeted us the following morning with our drinks already prepared, which was very nice. Room gets cleaned, tidied up and towels changed on a daily basis. The location is great, only 5/10 minute walk from the main square and not too far from the street market. The team also can organise trips, transfers and guides for you. We asked them to book a guide for us that would show us around on the first day and that was super helpful as they meet you at the Riad and took us around town and some key landmarks. The view of the main area was stunning with the pool and trees. In the mornings little bird would sneak in through the roof and wanted around while you were having breakfast, so cute!

It is an ex house after all, so you can hear people chatting downstairs while having breakfast or dishes being washed in the kitchen (from our room, however there is a second part of the Riad which I think is quieter) - this wasn’t really a problem for us, most guest were quite respectful and speaking quietly but be aware that you can hear people’s chit chat. The Riad is almost at the end of a residential street where kids like to play and kick ball, so be careful of not getting in their way otherwise you might get hit. The only thing we didn’t like was bathroom ’door’ in our room : it was more like a wooden room decider, like a trellis, so you could actually hear and see everything that was happening in the bathroom, so there wasn’t much privacy.

Lovely riad tucked back into a quiet, residential area that is about a 10-minute walk from Place Jemaa El Fna. We've stayed in numerous Marrkesh riads throughout the last several years and we would rate most of those higher than Riad Yamina. There just isn't quite the attention to detail that you can find in other riads and the staff was just "okay." That being said, it was still a lovely stay. The bed was extremely firm and some may find that problematic. The tagine we were served at night was one of the best we've had in Morocco! Overall, not a bad place to stay in the medina of Marrakesh!

Hard beds. Not quite the "Wow factor" that some of the other riads have.
