Riad ILayka

What guests think

Riad ILayka is praised for its beautiful, traditional decor and exceptionally kind staff, offering a calm oasis in the heart of Marrakech’s medina with generous breakfasts and inviting rooms that many find comfortable, quiet, and thoughtfully appointed.

Guests consistently highlight attentive, above-and-beyond service, including guidance through the lanes and help arranging transport. The location is central but can be tricky to reach, with narrow, dim alleys and limited vehicle access, so arranging an escort or transfer is commonly recommended. Smaller drawbacks include an occasional dusty room, a jacuzzi cleanliness comment, and one report of card payment issues. Expect a charming, tranquil stay with standout hospitality in a bustling area.

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.

Tout était parfait, le personnel est vraiment aux petits soins et nous avons adoré séjourné dans ce riad. Le seul bémol c'est que le bain à remous n'était pas assez bien entretenu, la propreté de l'eau nous a dissuadé de nous baigner.

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.

Nos ayudaron a arreglar el traslado de ida y regreso al aeropuerto, lo cual facilitó muchísimo nuestra estancia. Las instalaciones son hermosas y con un poco de sol, se puede aprovechar la terraza y el jacuzzi. Definitivamente regresaré la próxima vez que esté en Marrakech.

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.

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.

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.

Je ne recommande pas ce type d hébergement pour un voyage d affaires . Le Riyad n est as accessible en voiture et il faut marcher dans des ruelles salles et assez désertes pour y arriver . J e n étais pas du tout à l aise voyageant seule pour le travail. Ma chambre donnait sur la cour intérieure je devais donc laisser tout fermer pour être tranquille sinon tout le monde me voyait . Le personnel a été vraiment très gentil c est le point positif de cet hébergement.

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.

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.

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!
