Riad Hikaya

“Riad was beautiful and the staff were exceptionally helpful and kind. We were at this Riad in the time of the lockdown due to corona virus with our 1 year old baby. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring during this difficult and uncertain time. Thank you to everyone at this Riad.”

“We where caught up in a difficult situation with the country closing its borders. Everyone at the Riad were helpful in the extreme and deserve huge thanks and support in the future when things return to normal”

“This was our first trip to Morocco and our first time staying in a Riad. When we arrived at Riad Hikaya we were met by the manager Wadia and we were immediately made to feel welcome (perhaps the most welcome we’ve ever felt on any of our trips) as he took us for some mint tea and information in the reception room. The décor in the Riad is absolutely amazing, and makes it feel so much more special than being in a hotel. As it was my wife’s birthday we were upgraded at no extra cost to one of their best rooms, again the décor and ambience was impressive. The Riad is lovely, with an indoor pool and upstairs outdoor terrace with Jacuzzi, sun loungers, tables and relaxing drinking area. The local is a bit further south than the main square but is easily walkable to the souks, and that’s the best part, by wandering through the streets you get a better feel for Marrakesh and get to see first-hand the amazing array of sights, smells and city life so different from Europe. Our stay was also memorable because of the staff employed in the Riad. Sana, Chaima and Lamia were always on hand to assist and were most helpful throughout. No task or request was too difficult. The breakfast included in the price is fantastic and there is the option of dinner there also, which again, is great. They even surprised us with a wonderful birthday cake and decorations in our room each day. From myself and Maria, thank you so much for making our stay as special as possible! We would come back if ever we were in Marrakesh in the future.”

“The welcome at Riad Hikaya was fantastic and we were given a personal walkthrough of Marrakech with John, the owner. He took us through places to see and eat and what to look out for as we walked around the city. This was invaluable and would recommend all the places that he told us about, it is a vibrant place and very safe despite the hustle and bustle. The staff were wonderful and looked after us all week with extra special little touches to make us feel welcome. We would definitely go back and recommend to anyone wanting to visit Marrakech.”

“I can't think of enough positive things to say about this place. Wadie, Sanaa and the rest of the staff are simply incredible. I have never experienced such warmth and hospitality in my life. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and for better people. They are the best”
