We liked everything about the Riad Ekla since we walked in to the moment we checked out. We were welcomed from Mohsine, the manger of the Riad, and we felt in our second home immediately. He offered us the typical Moroccan mint tea. It tasted so good. Then he gave us all the informations we needed regarding the Medina and he gave us a map and indications. The riad is so cleaned, beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. Always with an oriental relaxing music on the background and jasmine perfume all around. Breakfast served on the terrace was delicious and different every day with fresh homemade cakes and bread, fresh salad fruit, fresh yogurt and juice/coffee. And again the waiter who served us, I u can’t remember his name, was so kind and sweet. Mohsine organised our tours in Agafay Desert, with camels and quad ride followed by an amazing typical Moroccan dinner under the stars, then next day in the Ourika Valley with its waterfalls and again a veri nice lunch by the river. In both day we met amazing people from our drivers and guide to the waterfalls, Anouar, such a nice person. Mohsine also organised also the Hammam ritual and massage for me and my partner, and money was worth it for the entire experience. We couldn’t be happier for this magic experience in Marrakesh. Thank you so much

Sometimes walking through the Medina can be very difficult and dangerous just because there are lots of people on motorcycles and cars but this is nothing to do with the Road Ekla.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this riad for three nights, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to the exceptional staff and the beautiful atmosphere of the property. A special mention goes to Yassin, who was simply incredible throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to help us with any questions we had and shared fascinating insights about Marrakech. Yassin even assisted us in purchasing and activating a SIM card, making the process seamless. His attentiveness and warm hospitality made us feel truly at home. Another highlight of our stay was Mustafa, who took care of breakfasts with a constant smile on his face. Each day, he asked what time we’d like to have breakfast and ensured everything was ready when we arrived. He also showed genuine interest in how our day went and was always concerned about our well-being, which we deeply appreciated. We also had a brief but wonderful interaction with Abdul on our last day. Though our time with him was short, he shared a beautiful conversation about Moroccan culture and people, leaving a lasting impression. He also helped us arrange a taxi and made sure our journey back to the airport went smoothly. Finally, Neima deserves recognition for her cheerful and kind demeanor. She attended to us with a warm smile and made us feel welcomed every time we crossed paths. The riad itself is stunning, with a charming design and a serene ambiance, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible staff. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here for an unforgettable experience in Marrakech.

I don’t mean this as a major complaint, but it would have been helpful to know the price of the water when we asked for it, as we initially thought it was included in the room price. That being said, everything else was absolutely excellent!

Everything was just as pictured. Really lovely riad and so peaceful. We loved everything from the start of our stay. It was so clean, beautiful and relaxing. Staff was very friendly, polite, helpful and attentive. They explained the area and key sites to visit. Breakfast served on the terrace was delicious and different every day with fresh homemade cakes and bread, fresh salad fruit, fresh yogurt and juice/coffee. Many thanks to Brahim who served us there. He was so kind and sweet. Special thanks to the manager of the Riad, Mohamed Bahabbaz who was by our side every time we needed him. There are no words to describe his kindness. He treated us like friends not clients. All of the staff were great Mohamed in front desk was a great guy and helpful too. Lovely hospitality. We miss everyone already. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! We would definitely stay there again on a future trip.

Wow wow wow! Absolutely stunning Riad…. Breath taking! The staff went above and beyond for us, the decor was stunning, the vibe was so peaceful and relaxing… absolutely exceeded my expectations the price was reasonable and worth every penny… I would highly recommend this Riad and we will definitely choose this one again when we return to Marrakech. Beautiful & Perfect stay to celebrate our anniversary!

All the Riads are abit of a mission to get to through the hustle and bustle of the streets but if you can see past that it’s is worth it upon your arrival, and there are shops close by and this one is one of the easier ones to get to too 😊 absolutely amazing cultural experience! Will definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Riad Ekla Boutique Hotel! In person it looks even prettier than on the photos. Incredibly cosy, beautiful and atmospheric space. And apparently you are even allowed to swim in the little pool in the middle! The hotel also has a very nice rooftop where they serve the included breakfast. The rooms are very clean and bright, with a good AC and strong wifi. Location is extremely convenient too- on the northern edge of the medina. The rest of the old city is to your south and to your north it's a 15 min walk to the absolute must visit Majorelle Gardens and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. The highlight of the hotel is the staff. Very professional, friendly and helpful. They speak very good English and made us feel very welcome and safe as well as provided good advice on how to plan our days in Marrakech!

The only possible negative we could come up with is that there are only 2 sockets in the room, both already occupied by the bedside lamps, making us have to disconnect them in order to charge all our devices. 1 more free socket on either side of the bed would've made it perfect!

Good location, close to the entry into the Medina so we had easy access to go deeper into the city or leave the walls. Beautiful riad. We stayed in a 1 bed/1 bath and it suited our needs as we just needed a quiet and clean place to rest at night because we were out and about during the day. Our unit was on the ground floor- very easily accessible. Breakfast every morning upstairs on the rooftop was very convenient. The table spread changed slightly from day to day to keep things a little interesting, but the Moroccan breakfast staples were there and we looked forward to it each morning. The staff at the front desk helped in so many ways throughout our stay, whether it was helping with our bags, giving recommendations, coordinating taxis, etc. Also I would love to give a special shout out to Yassine who went ABOVE & BEYOND to ensure we were safe and sound on our last night in Marrakech when we had a booking mishap with another property (completely unrelated to Riad Ekla) that turned out to be a scam. Riad Ekla is lucky to have Yassine who has given me a lasting impression of the Moroccan people and hospitality. I would gladly return and stay at Riad Ekla the next time I’m in Morocco, inshallah :)

The pool is set in the “lobby” or ground floor and is smaller than pictured. Maybe I was silly to think of it as a practical pool. It is still very nice to sit around but just something to adjust your expectations on.

Staff were great, pretty place, decent location. The staff were very accommodating, twice preparing breakfast a little earlier for us so we could get out on our excursions. Mohammed was a very good host and also the other staff very friendly especially Brahim. Some people talk about problems with money in the reviews we experienced no problems at all with our bill or booking. We dont regret choosing Riad Ekla.

Could do with a few basic upgrades to the room like a full length mirror, shower head needed to be fixed on a wall as couldnt be adjusted, few more plug sockets in the room would he good too.

The Riad is beautiful!!! We stayed as a group of 7 women and felt so safe and welcome. The authentic Moroccan experience but with modern style and touches, we loved that we were near to the hustle and bustle but not right in it! Every member of staff we spoke with was incredibly kind, hospitable and funny!! Ibrahim was amazing with our breakfast service & all the front desk staff were so helpful and truly made it a holiday to remember

The only slight thing was the mattresses were a little hard but otherwise the rooms were beautiful, clean and spacious and nicely decorated

We had an amazing stay at Riad Ekla Boutique Hotel. The Riad is easy to find at the start of the Medina and close to everything. We only walked around and it was very easy. The room was clean, fresh and comfortable. The staff definitely made the whole experience next level - especially the two Mohammed! They shared tips with us about Marrakech at the beginning and were always open to discuss and laugh with us. Dinner and breakfast was very tasty! We also had massages and facial treatment at their twin hotel and loved it! The pool and rooftop were also so enjoyable in summer. Definitely recommend for a Marrakech stay.

The Riad was beautifully decorated, an oasis inside the Medina! The food in the Riad was delicious, credits to the in-house chef, we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there throughout our stay and it was of high quality. The staff were amazing, so kind and extremely helpful with advice, bookings and walking you to local locations eg. for Hammam and massage. We had an early check out and they provided take away breakfast!! We do recommend a stay here.

The bed! The bed quality is poor. We would recommend the Riad upgrades the mattress for more comfortable mattress. We also recommend the pillows are upgraded as well.
