A Riad in Marrakesh

This is a traditional Riad with very attentive staff. The breakfast was excellent and the furnishings I. The room very Moroccan. Excellent internet and right in the centre of everything- souks, restaurants. The staff were exceptional. Nothing was a bother.

Abdul was an excellent host. The Riad was well maintained and clean and the breakfast was fantastic. If you are looking for an authentic morrocean experience, this is the place to stay in the heart of the medina. It can be confusing to get to the Riad and it's dark on the walk up to Riad at night so best off staying there in a group, not on your own.

A gem of a riad

Staff could not do enough to help - they are truly wonderful! A beautiful riad with exceptional interiors. Excellent attention to detail and the whole stay felt very special. Would recommend booking the airport transfer with the hotel as you are likely to get very lost without it!

The staff was amazing! And the whole property is beautiful, including the rooms. Note: it is not easy to arrive by taxi. The riad is through the Medina so it was a half-mile walk with our luggage though the market and narrow streets. The hosts always made us feel appreciated, safe, and welcome.

I had a wonderful stay at Riad Ilayka. The riad itself is charming, with a lovely courtyard and rooftop terrace, and my room was very well-appointed, attractive, spacious and cozy. The staff were extremely communicative and helpful in every way. The location is great for those wanting close access to the souks and a feel for the old medina. Some might find it confusing and/or slightly unseemly, especially late at night. But I never felt unsafe.

Abdul was excellent. He was very attentive and kind. We had a very early start to our day and he packed us a breakfast to go. He also was kind enough to help us carry our bags on our 10 minute walk to get to our pick up point for a tour that we were going on. The Riad was beautiful. Excellent service overall. Would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Marrakech.
