Beautiful, unique hotel with charming antique décor. Zoro and Abdo were amazing.
Zorro welcomed us warmly from the moment we arrived, made us feel comfortable right away, gave us a tour of the property, and was always friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The hotel is in the heart of the Medina. While that’s perfect for many travelers, I personally would choose to stay outside the Medina next time. That’s just my preference, not a reflection of the hotel.
Overall, a wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel

We felt welcomed the moment we arrived! The entire team made us feel like we were family and our care, time, and safety were their priority. I can't recommend them high enough. Choose this Riad!

Great hospitality and nice place
Wayne Anthony St
My first visit to Marrakesh was as a solo traveller, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay.
Riad Ilayka is a real gem hidden in the Medina. As soon as you step inside, it feels calm and welcoming, while the buzz of Marrakesh is just outside the door.
I arrived earlier than expected, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. After an early start and a long journey, it was much appreciated. They were always happy to help with recommendations, from hammams to places to visit, and their suggestions were spot on. Thanks to them, I visited Jardin Majorelle and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, which ended up being one of the highlights of my trip.
The riad is beautiful, full of character, and very well looked after. Its location is perfect for exploring the Medina and souks, with everything within easy reach.
As a first-time visitor travelling alone, I was a little nervous before arriving, but those worries quickly disappeared. The friendly and welcoming staff made a big difference and helped make my stay such a positive experience.
I would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakesh.

The staff was very helpful and gracious. We felt like we were guests at someone’s home. We appreciated the hospitality and the warmth they showed.
Seamus
Riad Ilayka was one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was outstanding, and the location in the Medina was perfect. They prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning and even offered to escort us to dinner at another restaurant on our first night, as well as to an ATM so we could get cash for the weekend. It was a really awesome experience from start to finish. 5/5 stars.
Abby
Fantastic stay with incredible staff!
william
We were treated with exceptional hospitality by the hosts Abdelhek and Abdelilah (abdul and abdul) and all the staff. The Riad ilyaka was beautiful and very well managed. Every detail was handled well: delicious breakfasts, fresh flowers, transport..
Anacarla
Pro- Abdo was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. The staff was super attentive.
Con- the WiFi was not working in our suite.

Charmy N
We are so glad that we picked Riad Illayka for our first visit to Marrakech. You are treated like family from the moment you arrive. Rahim went out of his way to make us comfortable. From trying to navigate the souks, avoiding getting scammed, to making reservations for dinner and excursions. He also arranged a personal masseuse to come on the premises for us. The riad itself is absolutely stunning and so luxurious. The location is central to everything and you could walk to all the landmarks around the city. The breakfast was fantastic and plentiful. Be ready to be pampered and treated like royalty in this beautiful Riad that feels like home away from home. Can’t wait to be back sometime in the future and stay with these lovely people again!
Andrew Christopher
Everything perfect, staff exceptional!
Nicolette
from the moment we stepped in it was like stepping into an oasis. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Everything was spotless. Our room was amazing. We slept so well. The little treats in the afternoon left in our room were great and really appreciated. I would definitely return and stay again. It was in the heart of the Medina and walkable to everything.
Christine
This is a beautiful Riad in Marrakech that my family and I really enjoyed! Its location is perfect and close to everything in the Medina. The staff is wonderful and provides excellent customer service to all its guests. I highly recommend this Riad and would definitely stay here again!

Claudia
We spent three wonderful nights at Riad Ilayka and absolutely loved it. The riad is a beautiful historic home tucked away in the Medina — super quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk to everything. Our room was huge, and the bathroom was enormous with the most amazing Moroccan tile work. Every detail made us feel like royal guests!
The staff were so kind, gracious, and spoke great English. We felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. Breakfast on the patio was a lovely way to start each day.
It’s no surprise this place is often fully booked — we feel very lucky we managed to get a room.
Daniel
Wonderful
Misael
Great Place to be, I was supposed to be there in 2023 around the time of the earthquake, end up going to Tanger but we was able to come this time. Place is charming and inviting, you will feel like it’s your home away from home. Marrakesh is a cacophony of sounds and voices and but the people are still the best I met.
You won’t regret!

Very attentive staff, especially Abdul who was very helpful. The property and the rooms were beautiful. Location was convenient and only 10 minutes walk away from the main square, although the path to the main square can be a bit difficult to navigate - luckily Abdul kindly showed us the way so we didn’t get lost.
Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

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.
Alexandra
Welcoming staff, very helpful. Great breakfast
Ramneek
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.
ashley
Great stay
Kerry
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!

Great hotel. Amazing customer service
Elizabeth
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.
Verified traveler
Great stay!
Amazing hotel in a great location, tucked away from the noise. Thanks for a great stay! Beautifully clean and they also had a great breakfast.
Seth
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.
Patrycja
Amazing Riad! The breakfast was delicious. The room was beautiful. Great location near all of the must see spots in the city.
Bernard
Accommodations and location are the best. Breakfast was served with great food and superior service. This place earns all 5 stars!

Gabriela
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.
Nadia
The Staff! Azzedine and Abdelhak represent the Moroccan hospitality the world comes to enjoy. I am sorry for not taking the names of all the staff including the ladies but everyone was top of line in customer service and kindness.
The breakfast was amazing and delicious. The room was a dream of the ancient books from 1000 and one night. Make sure you call the Riad so someone can meet you at the entrance of Bab Ftouh. The setting and everything was magical. Hoping to come back again. Thank you all for having us.

Great oasis in the middle of the Medina. Staff, service and amenities were excellent.
Jin
Staff were very friendly and ever so helpful. Breakfast was delicious. However, the Riad was very difficult to find and the floors in the room were quite dusty. Overall a positive experience and would come back.
Sharon
Wonderful place to stay in Marrakesh. Close to everything but completely quiet.
Ahmad
Excellent Riad
The room was a bit small but very nicely presented and service was very good. Abdullah carried one of my luggage with me until the medina market close to taxi, very nice and helpful person. Generally, everyone was nice from cleaning staff to service etc. Amenities were great, would definitely stay here again.

Everything was amazing! Breakfast with basic, but it’s all you need to start your day to enjoy all the wonderful food of the city. Service was 5*. Mouaad is there any helpful in making sure I did not get lost each time I left the property.
Julie E
The entire team was so helpful and and accommodating to all of our needs. They assisted in travel transports, laundry, communication with excursion teams, escorting and directing to desired destinations, helping with dinner reservations, providing snacks/drinks on demand, daily room service and personal item requests were timely and most of all ensured us of room security within the road. We truly felt at home!🤗. We would love to visit again Riad Ilayka.
Prathy
Oasis in the Moroccan Desert
Probably the best Riad you can find in Marrakech. Very authentic, charming, stunning hotel. And the owner Abdul is the most gracious host you will ever find in Marrakech. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to find a great hotel in Morocco.

An Oasis right in the middle of the very busy Souks. Perfect for exploring by foot. Staff were so helpful.

Very accommodating. A real pleasure in an interesting city.

Wonderful service. Staff picks you up at the center of medina and walks you through. Beautiful decor and garden setting. Great view.
Siobhan
Amazing. Everything was beautiful. The riad was so calm with us having a private terrace. Staff were lovely and I would highly recommend having dinner there one night. The food was sensational - some of the best we had while in Marrakesh.

We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Ilayka. While we were only there for one night, the staff made us feel completely welcome and went out of their way to accommodate us. We arrived at 9 PM to check in, as we had just come off of a desert tour. The staff swiftly showed us to our room and helped us with our bags. We had to check out at noon, but our flight wasn't until later in the day so the staff stored our luggage, so we could go out and explore before our flight. The location of the riad is a little hard to get to, but I would recommend just calling the staff once you are in the general area and they will come and guide you back to the riad. All the facilities were just perfect, and the riad itself is beautiful. It is probably the best hotel we've stayed at and we will likely be coming back to stay, if we ever came back to Morocco. We wanted to give a special shout out to the night manager (I believe his name is Mohab, but please forgive me if I'm wrong). He was very warm, inviting, helpful and generally just made our short stay extremely pleasant. Thank you, Nadia and the rest of the team at Riad Ilayka for an unforgettable hotel experience!

The service is above and beyond expectations. Thanks to Khadija, Abdou and the rest of the staff who took care of us. They provided good tips and tricks to make sure we feel comfortable to navigate through the city and provide excellent service at the Riad. The breakfast is very generous and delicious. The location is great if you want to be in the heart of the medina, walkable distance from the main square and other main sights. Nice view of the city from the rooftop, beautiful sunset. We will definitely come back.

Such a wonderful property and such a fantastic location. The rooftop at sunrise and sunset is stunning. The staff were impeccable; I’d especially mention Abdul who was so attentive.
Thoroughly recommend getting the Riad to arrange your transport to and from the airport as they will meet you and guide you through the maze of streets - we saw lots of tourists being taken advantage of when they hadn’t done this.

Beautiful Riad. A gem! Clean, quiet and well located. The food is amazing and the staff is the best. I can’t wait to go back!

Outstanding Riad in a lovely property. Top guest service and immaculate rooms

I can completely understand why this property has such high ratings! We were so well taken care of while we were here and Azeddine went above and beyond anything that was required to make our stay as comfortable as possible! I was so tired when I came in that I felt too weak to even go back out and get food and he went and picked up takeout for us! He arranged a taxi tour around the city for us because we had a limited amount of time. Truly above and beyond! The breakfast was stunning, and the accommodations were magical. My only regret was we didn’t have more time in this amazing and unique city. I can see why people move here and stay forever.

I would like to thank Abdou for taking care of my daughters and I with such kindness and gentleness. God bless

The staff were incredibly helpful, respectful and very nice. They made us feel like we were home. We stayed at what was probably their nicest room. It waz spacious, clean and comfortable but to get to it there is a narrow stair that might be hard for some tall people or that have mobility issues. They have other rooms with no stairs.
Their included breakfast with table service was incredible. You just need to tell them when you want it. My wife and i had a beautiful dinner setup for us, not included. They gave us so much fantastic food that we did it again the following night. They also setup airport transportation and a great tout around the old town. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful experience in Marrakech.

Cute and super quiet Riad in the center of Medina, close to everything but definitely not easy to find. The first day we already stopped and needed a guy who insisted to bring our suitcases and lead the way and try to charge us 300MAD!!!
But the hospitality, staff and everything in the Raid is perfect. Muhar became our friend, offered us all the guidance we need for our short trip. Abdo is our last days’ helper, arranged an amazing dinner for us when it was very delayed until late due to our trip that day. All the staff there are full of smile, you feel like home.
Only thing needs to note for people cannot consume sugar/diabetics, is that the traditional breakfast is quite sweet, full of different jam and desserts.

We loved everything about this Riad. The staff were exceptional and the accommodation was more than we could have hoped for. Wish we had been there longer than 3 nights.

A fabulous haven of peace
Fabulous Riad. Great location. High-level service. Thank you to the entire team for such a warm welcome and making our stay memorable.
Sofiane
A little paradise hidden in the old city!
This is the type of place that will make you fall in love with Morocco and want to come back!
We stayed only one night there but what an experience!!
Service was a proper 5 star service (big thanks to all the staff especially Abdou).
The rooms and the place will make you feel like royalty!!
Superb!

There was a telephone type shower but the holder on the wall was constantly coming off. Despite 2 requests to solve this issue it was never done. The worst place I have stayed in my whole life.
Steven
The riad was wonderfully authentic and traditional and it was perfectly located in the medina, close to all the souks and activities.
The staff were wonderful and friendly and the service was excellent, couldn't be faulted.

Beautiful riad!
We were only here for 1 night but wished we could have stayed for longer. The customer service was amazing from start to finish. Hotel and room was so beautiful! I definitely recommend!

The property itself was very pleasant and the staff and management really stood out for their helpfulness throughout our stay.

The staff at Riad Ilayka was simply great, the best service I’ve ever had in a vacation. The first night, a scanner was trying to take and vantage of my wife and Ne, and the owner came out and saved us.
Vickielyn J
Amazing stay! The staff was wonderful and very helpful. They made recommendations (dinner, hamman and activities, etc...) and provided the arrangements. The property is beautiful. They provided breakfast every morning. We wanted to have a true Moroccan experience. Location was in the heart of all shopping and a short walk to the square.

Absolutely above and beyond service.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Ilayka. The room was very nice although a little dark; the cover over the ceiling window did not get removed for the first 3 days. Staff were very helpful, food was very good. Whenever we were unsure where to go, they would accompany us. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The staff were wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and the Hotel had a lot of local charm!

We enjoyed our stay at Riad Ilayka. Between the meals in the courtyard and the excellent hospitality, this place lived up to the reviews. The room’s decor was traditional and ornate. The rooftop was a great place to view the city and sunset. Another benefit was that they arranged for transportation to and from the airport. This included getting through the souks, which would have been challenging. While breakfast is included, we recommend booking dinner there as well. The tangine was delicious and beautifully presented.
Andrew
Delightful staff, centrally located, lovely breakfast
Hong
One of the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed. Five star facility and service. The decoration is so authentic, paying attention to every details. A most surprising find in the city, a beautiful jewel hidden in the market area. We wish that we had time to stay longer. Will definitely return next time we visit Morocco.

10/10 We would definitely stay here again
We only stayed here one night but wish we had been here longer.
The riad itself is beautiful and our room and the terrace area were fantastic too. Absolutely no complaints about the environment.
We booked dinner at the riad which was served in the dining room as it was a little cold in the evening, the surroundings were great and the food was lovley. The breakfast in the morning was perfect too. Didn't take real photos of the food as we were too quick to eat it!
Abdul and all the staff were amazing, happy to answer our questions about the building and Marrakech. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in marrakech.
The only difficulty was finding it; as we were already in Marrakech so didnt need the airport transfer. We went the day before to check it out and then we're guided back towards the square by helpful staff so we could remember the easiest route. Well light at night and quiet.

This was a wonderful Riad. It’s a beautiful place with exquisite details located in the heart of the Medina. Abdul was welcoming and he and his staff accommodated absolutely anything we needed. We packed a busy itinerary and my only regret was not having more relaxed free time in the Riad. I couldn’t recommend this place more and am very appreciative of how accommodating they were. Wonderful!

BED BUGS!!!!
Owner tried to blame it on my party of 5 in 2 rooms.
Owner initially refused to pay for 2 taxis (at a total of $7) to a different hotel.

Had a great time. Everyone was very friendly. Food was great. Comfortable room and Riad was walking distance to nice places in the Medina

My wife and I had no idea what to expect as we made our way through the winding streets of the Marrakech Medina to the door of the Riad Ilayka. We were spent, mentally and physically from the flight, the drive over, and then the walk to the front door. But as soon as Abdul opened the door and sat us down with a refreshing drink, he calmed our nerves and made Marrakech our new home for the next few days. The riad's amazing first floor was charming and historic. After we calmed down, Abdul showed us the second floor, our room, and then all the little details that the riad had to offer. It was like we were in a dream! His and the rest of the staff's courteousness knew no bounds over the next two days, as we were given directions personally, made exquisite breakfasts and a delicious dinner, any need taken care of instantly, and a personal gift of wine delivered from the owner herself. Even when we needed to leave at 5am to drive to Merzouga, Abdul not only took care of our breakfast but made sure we safely made our way back through the Medina to our car. The riad's quiet beauty and gracious staff made it the treasure we didn't expect in Marrakech.

This is a truly serene property with a phenomenal, welcoming staff in the beautiful, exotic city of Marrakech. I love the authentic experience we got being right in the center of the old city. Some thing I will never forget. I will also not forget the beautiful fragrance permeating the Riad. It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore than I do. Special and memorable.
