A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Marrakech – Absolutely 5 Stars! Riad Abaka is more than just a place to stay – it’s a magical experience that captivates the senses and warms the soul. The location is perfect: just steps from the bustling Medina, yet tucked away enough to provide peace and serenity. The interiors are a true Moroccan jewel – every corner tells a story, with intricate tiles, lanterns, and traditional textiles. Our room was spotless, quiet, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. The inner courtyard and pool are a peaceful oasis, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the souks. But what truly makes Riad Abaka special is the staff – incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every request was met with a smile, and we felt cared for at every moment. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, local ingredients served on the rooftop terrace with breathtaking views – the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authenticity, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality in the heart of Marrakech. We will definitely be back!

Charmant Riad au cœur de la Médina, au centre des souks et non loin de la place Jeema El Fna. Nous avons été agréablement surprises que la WiFi soit disponible et gratuite dans tout l'etablissemt. Autre point positif le service petit déjeuner, servi tous les matin sur la terrasse couverte du riad, cadre agréable et personnel très sympathique, de plus le petit déjeuner était très copieu et savoureu. Pour les points négatifs: GROS manque d'informations de la part de la réception! si l'on n'est pas vigilant la note peut être salée... Premier constat, on nous facture 3€ de frais de ménage par nuit et par personne ! Somme exorbitante pour un service qui n'était pas à la hauteur. Il faut réclamer des serviettes propres sinon rien ne sera changé durant votre séjour Les bouteilles d'eau vous sont données avec le sourire mais vous sont facturées 3€ Autre soucis rencontré, l'excursion Quad prise via le Riad. Grosse arnaque... Une prestation loin de ce que nous avions demandé et donc un tarif bien trop élevé comparé à d'autres organismes trouvés sur le net. Le choix de passer par le riad nous avait séduit par sa prise en charge (navette + guide + location) mais au final nous nous sommes retrouvées avec un chauffeur à peine aimable qui nous a déposées au milieu du désert d'Agafay dans une cours miserable avec des animaux en souffrance, 5 quads dans un hangard et des hommes parlant à peine l'Anglais ou le Francais... De plus la balade a duré 1h et non 2 comme prevu initialement!

Buen alojamiento situado muy cerca de la plaza Yamaa el Fna. Muy limpio y cómodo. Sin embargo, ahora mismo parece que el Riad original está en reformas, y el edificio es uno anexo. Las habitaciones son como en las fotos, sin embargo el patio es diferente y la piscina también.

To be honest, I’m a little mixed on our stay. I expected it to be hard to find but when we finally did, we were told the riad was under construction and were escorted to another riad. We did not get the room that was booked nor did this riad have the features I expected based on all the photos. Since booking I see the photos and descriptions have changed so new guests will not be mislead. The room was fine, however the bed was not as soft as I prefer. The location is easy once you get your bearings. The staff were great with us and very helpful. But other guests had issues that created a disturbance for all inside one evening. This riad is small and very noisy with people in/out. This also impacted sleep. Breakfast was okay but only served 8-10. And by 8, that’s when they start setting up so more like 8;30 before you get food. This caused us to miss one breakfast due to an early tour and we had to inhale our meal to make our other morning tours.
