Perfect little Riad for a weekend in Marrakesh- great location within the medina and close proximity to the souks. Staff incredibly helpful and amenable- even before you arrive helping you plan your trip. Always happy to help and very knowledgeable on things to do and see. Highly recommend!

Excellent breakfast, the staff were very friendly and flexible. The room was very clean and refreshed every day, the beds were comfortable and the location was near to everything whilst being a bit out of the way to be quieter. It was hard to find, so get good directions and keep your own sat nav on in the taxi to make sure they get you as close as possible

I was really disappointed by the Riad we were only there for 1 night any more and I would have not stayed. Pictures online seem to be AI generated as the Riad looked nothing like these in reality. Really dissapointed. Room was small dark and cold and beds were extremely noisy and uncomfortable.

Cozy quiet riad which was easy to find, not overly close to the busy souks, but still near a market street. Even though we arrived early, Youssef greeted us warmly, inviting for tea by the pool. Giving a map of the medina, he took it upon himself to point out highlights in it, recommending different spots for what we said we were interested in. He gave us much time in discussing the culture of Marrakech and Morocco as a whole. Room ac worked well. Showerhead is installed a little too high, causing splash-out. Complimentary q-tips and makeup removal pads were provided. Pool is more of a wader which is common in a riad, a little bigger than a hot tub. Breakfast was various breads with some spreads. Nearby convenience store was honest and did not overcharge.

Heater was broken. Claimed they didn’t have another room. Asked to check out with a refund. They refused. Expedia contacted them, they still refused. Magically found another room at 2130. In the morning no water for the shower. They refused refund. In the end Expedia themselves had to refund me after I contacted the disputes team.

The Staff at Riad Ekla were friendly, efficient, nothing was too much trouble. The Riad was clean, tidy. Moustapha on Reception was excellent as was the other Moustapha the waiter along with his sister who was in charge of house keeping . A wonderful warm atmosphere , we felt like family. Highly recommend staying here. Super easy access to the souks and New Marrakech without being too noisy. We booked trips through the Riad which were wonderful and airport transfers. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a wonderful Honeymoon. Matt and Becky

Mustafa, the owner was more interested selling his tour packages than helping us settle. The taxi driver did speak to him that we were coming and ask him to come outside the main road as the transfer from airport to hotel could not be reached by car but he out buying some grapes for himself. The adjacent empty block and back are full of rubbish. Not sure who discarded the rubbish but full of it. Other staff are nice and helpful.

Fell in love with this white house with a green pool, very charming Morrocan design. The sweet fragrance every corner was relaxing and pleasing. So quiet except birds singing and the running water of the pool. A heaven to escape from the hustle and bustle of the old Medina. Nice and friendly staff who offered perfect welcome mint tea and cookies, and a very brief useful suggestions of the attractions. Breakfast on the rooftop was a good beginning of each day, too. In Morrocan style, it was quite full and balanced with vegetable salad, yoga, fruit, orange juice, etc. Chatting with the staff was ice on the cake, making me feel like home! So grateful I made the best choice to stay there! Thank you Ekla, you made my day!
