Dar Ayniwen is a tranquil, refined paradise away from the hustle and bustle of central Marrakech. More like stepping inside a private home (which it once was), guests are treated to attentive but unobtrusive service in beautiful rooms furnished with antiques and Moroccan treasures. Food is utterly delicious. Days can be spent relaxing by the pool, exploring the beautiful gardens or taking in the sights of Marrakech (via the hotel’s shuttle). I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough - as a solo traveller I was thoroughly looked after and shall most definitely return.

Such a pleasure to stay here for almost a week. Our room/suite was the size of a flat with the most luxurious bathroom we've ever seen. Lovely heated pool and terrace, and absolutely beautiful gardens, an oasis of peace yet 15 minutes from the centre (subject to local traffic!). The staff couldn't do enough for us: transport, advice, bookings all taken care of. Special mention for the delicious cooking - it is more expensive than city centre restaurants but excellent value for the quality, everything prepared to order, organic / local for the most part. And they mix a mean cocktail! We loved it all and hope to return.

The hotel is a few miles away from the medina but includes a free shuttle service which is very convenient. The rooms are very large although a bit dated and the grounds are beautiful and spacious. The hotel is popular with families and so not as romantic as the photos would suggest.

An oasis
A lovely oasis to chill out and relax by the pool which is set in a garden with wandering tortoises and the background chatter of many birds. The food at Dar Ayniwen was delicious and showed off the local cuisine perfectly.

Piece of heaven
A little piece of heaven 10 minutes from the centre of Marrakesh. The Dar Aiyen is set within beautiful grounds with many exotic birds. Our spacious suite was luxurious with beautiful balconies south and north facing. We were able to see the extensive grounds from each balcony, these were great places to relax 1st thing in the morning or last thing as the sun goes down. The staff are extremely helpful, the food was fantastic, nothing was to much trouble. The owner Stefano and General Manager Aziz were extremely attentive to our needs. This is a beautiful place to stay and I will certainly be going back. Thanks to everyone at the Dar Aiyen who made our stay so special.

Stunning hotel, great location
We are so happy to have discovered this place. Because it used to be the owners home, it feels so relaxed and homely here while still maintaining a five star service. Getting a free shuttle to and from the airport is a great touch. No worries about having to sort taxis and then there is a free shuttle to and from town, really amazing service. I highly recommend this hotel. The pool is lovely and the food is exceptional. We didn't want to leave!
