Riyad Al Moussika is a beautiful, peaceful place to relax and unwind after a busy day sightseeing and shopping in the souks! Just a five minute walk from the main square, it is the perfect place to stay. We stayed in the green room which had it's own roof terrace, perfect for a bit of sunbathing. The room was spotless, with a view over the beautiful courtyard and pool. The breakfasts were great, as was the complimentary mint teas and pastries. We booked one evening in the restaurant of the riad, which was the best meal we had throughout our stay in Marrakech. The manager and staff were always friendly and willing to help. Would definitely recommend.

Riad Magellan was a lovely small boutique-hotel with really friendly staff. I wish we had more time as we would have happily stayed there much longer. We even got a free cooking class where we learnt how to make amazing salads and a beef tajine, which we had for dinner at candle light near the fire place on our last night. It was wonderful! That location is perfect to get around in the Medina.

Marrakesh offers so many choices, that it was hard to decide, but Riyad Al Moussika has been the right one.
We spent a weekend in this spot of beauty and we were totally satisfied. I share completely all the positive reviews and me too I highly recommend this place.

My wife and I went here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. It was absolutely marvellous! This place is an old palace in the medina of Marrakech quite close to the main square and fantastically restructured and refurbished keeping the Moroccan authentic style. Beautiful swimming pool in the garden, and hammam that we tried twice with a massage: great experience that I recommend. Gargantuan breakfasts of fresh ingredients mainly home made. Our suite, the blue one with Carrara white marble floor, gorgeous wood ceiling and a huge bathroom, was so nice and relaxing we were reluctant to go out. I want as well to underline the high level of service that the wonderful team gave us. They truly made our trip amazing.

My first experience of the Riad Azoulay in Marrakech last year (though not my first time in the city) turned out to be a real stroke of luck and was so nice that I really wondered if a second visit would match up to my recollections. I didn’t need to worry – the same air of serenity, the same friendly attention, the same stimulating fusion of ‘east meets west’ in the decoration, the food and every carefully managed detail made me feel I’d never left. Meti, the beloved Bichon Frisé, was away having babies (for those who know her, mother and puppies are all doing fine, I’m told) but in all other respects Riad Azoulay retains its unique charm, keeps its quality intact and, happily for me, continues to remain a welcome oasis of calm in the wonderfully chaotic Medina.

A lovely little riad, in the medina, very pleasant staff. Respite from the chaos outside, and the hard sell. And a great breakfast.

A beautiful little art deco boutique hotel built in the traditional style around a courtyard, a five minute walk away from the famous Jemaa el fna square. Wonderful staff, very helpful, especially Oliver the owner. And the food was seriously We found it easily but Oliver gives you a mobile phone so you can ring them in case you get lost and the staff will come and get you.

Situated in a maze of muddy, busy, narrow alleyways, this relatively large riad offered us a touch of calm elegance and sophistication. We were treated with warm hospitality, offered help whenever we needed it by Adil the manager and all his staff. They spoke good English and nothing was too much trouble for them in this delightfully furnished, conveniently situated riad. The generous sized public spaces, including interior gardens, were tastefully decorated and furnished as were the bedrooms. The one evening meal which we had there on the night of our arrival and the breakfasts on the roof terrace were generous and enjoyable. Having the riad's driver collect us from the airport and lead us through the narrow dark alleyways to the welcoming mint tea on arrival in the riad was a good move.
I would definitely stay there again

Riad Abaka is a short but bustling walk from the square, and so is perfectly placed. You can exhaust yourself haggling in the souks, and dodging snake charmers and performing monkeys and still be a short stagger from the riad. It is a little oasis of calm in a frenzied sea of boiling humanity. The central area is calm . The roof terrace is a good place to retire to at night and the Koutoubia Mosque is in sight.
The room we stayed in was nice and was what I shall describe as tastefully basic. If you are expecting northern European luxury then you are, perhaps, on the wrong holiday - that's not what Marrakech is about.
The staff are really lovely humorous helpful people, who are down to earth and efficient. They are actually essential to the experience of being there. I extend them my great thanks.
Adill the manager is a charming and humorous man with a quick mind and a lot of knowledge. You receive a briefing on your first morning during which he talks you through geography, culture, and haggling in the souk (all free of charge!). The briefing is extensive but very useful, and the map you take away with it's biro squiggles and labels becomes an essential traveling companion.
Breakfast is in the Moroccan style - yogurt, fruit, french bread, coffee. It's good healthy stuff. You can always have mint tea, or English tea if you want.

Excellent service with a smile. Comfortable accommodation - beautifully decorated, in a central but quiet location.
We had a fantastic five nights here and I recommend Oliver and his team to anyone wanting a friendly, welcome break in Marrakech.

This was one of the nicest boutique styled inns we have ever visited. The riad was beautiful and Tissam the manager was wonderfully helpful. We were travelling with my mother and step-father (in their 80s) as well as our eight-year-old daughter and so had rather complicated and diverse needs/desires. Tissam accommodated us all artfully, giving us a gracious welcome, an extended orienting walk towards the medina, and all sorts of very helpful tips. We stayed in the riad three nights and ate there the last two nights. The meals (tagines) were delicious - among the best we have enjoyed in Morocco. In the evenings we sat on the roof decks enjoying cool drinks and the lovely view. If we ever return, we will definitely stay there

This was the best riad I have ever stayed in. Great deco, just near to the Jemaa el Fna square. The staff were so helpful and food is a must to try! There is a pool in the roof terrace and you really disconnect from your day to day activity.

I really recommend the Riad Dar Darma, a beautiful palace in the heart of the Medina. I was there in June with my husband and it is was fantastic!
We loved the particular architecture and the Moroccan atmosphere. We stayed in a colorful and very intimate suite in complete privacy. The dinners were also superb, very tasty and the staff were very kind.
Dar Darma is an amazing place to spend a romantic holiday.

Stayed for 11 nights in a room on the beautiful roof terrace. The riad turned out to be a delightful place, full of charm and character with very friendly and helpful staff. Felt more like home than a hotel. Took breakfast in the sun on the terrace amongst the gulls which was lovely.

We stayed at Riad Dar Eliane for four nights and our stay could not have been better. It was the first time that we have stayed in a riad so did not know quite what to expect. It is very different to a hotel but we enjoyed every moment of it. All the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had breakfast every morning on the roof terrace and it was absolutely delicious. It was such a nice clean place to come back to at the end of our day. The decor was lovely. The riad is conveniently situated just 10 minutes’ walk from the main square. We would definitely stay there again if we were to go back to Marrakech.

A fantastic riad in the middle of the old medina of Essaouira. This riad has recently opened and it is very luxurious. The riad is decorated throughout with one-off African artwork, it is amazing. We had a double room which was very nice, it even had a flatscreen TV in it. All of the rooms are en-suite and even have their own lounge area.
On the large roof terrace you have views of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a gentle breeze blowing which is really nice on a warm day. In the evening you get a magnificent view of the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean from the roof terrace.
The riad is in a quiet area of the medina, it is a few minutes walk away from the main shopping area, the fish market and a five minute walk away from the main beach of Essaouira.
The staff at the riad were very friendly, they all spoke good English and were happy to help us with everything that we needed, they were always smiling which made us feel good.

I spent a week in Morocco, and while I was in Marrakech, Riad Dar Najat, was for me a great attraction.
The Riad is beautiful, nicely decorated, the kind of place where you know the owners take care of every detail with great care.
The staff were very friendly, and made me feel at home. It's very special the way you are treated.
The food is another attraction. Delicious, delicious!
And about the location, very important: it's very easy to get there, and go to Djema El Fna, with no possibility of missing the way.
So, everything is perfect! Totally recommend!
