Lock in a great price for Riad Swaka – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff are very kind and helpful. They gave us tips on how to get around and prices for things. I loved the cool down pool. Breakfast was good. Good location. A very relaxing place. Thanks Riad Swaka for being so helpful and friendly.

Emily, United Kingdom

The best thing about this place is its staff always helpful, friendly and positve. The staff offers you fresh fruit and a delicious morrocan mint tea which was a nice surprise. You've made our stay perfect. There's a great terrace on the top where you can chill out. And the breakfast is very tasty. Thank you for everything. We'll definitely come back.

Awesome riad. Very close to the city center, but quiet during both the day and night. Staff was really nice and speaks English very well.

We were looked after very well here, the staff were kind and generous with their time and knowledge. The terrace is a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh

Amanda, Australia

Lovely riad with welcoming friendly staff who made our stay comfortable and enjoyable, especially Samir. The breakfasts served on the roof terrace overlooking the Bahia palace gardens were delicious and plentiful with breads, pastries, pancakes, yoghurt and fruit. The patio area smelled divine and our junior suite was comfortable and spacious with a great bathroom. We will be back.

Deborah, United Kingdom

The staff was awesome, Samir and Samira were always willing to help and Mehdi gave us many good tips and advice. The riad is very comfortable. We got the room "Marrakesh" which windows are not in front of the corridor, and it seems more private. During the breakfast, there are adorable bees who come to eat the jelly. We travel often, and I do recommend this riad, particularly because of the staff. It has been probably the short-term hotel/lodging where I a felt more at home so far.

Excellent staff, very helpful, always ready to help you in the bizarre Marrakech! Thank you guys !

Pavel, Belgium

Breakfast is amazing, hotel staff are super super helpful, in special, Samir, who gave me many tips during my stay in Marrakesh. Very nice terrace with Bahdi Palace garden view and in the evening, with the light and swimming pool, it looks super posh. Hotel room is decorated with traditional design, quite comfortable with convenient facilities. Once again, what i like the most is Riad staff, who are just simply amazing. A big thanks again to Samir.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“I have never stayed anywhere more accomodating than Riad Swaka. The staff was always helpful, the hospitality was never-ending, free breakfast every morning was delicious, and the robes and towels were thick and fuzzy. We stayed in 3 different places in Marrakesh and this was our favorite. We made friends with the staff and continued to visit them at the riad during our remaining time in Marrakech.”

Sarah Lazenby

United Kingdom

“The location was very good. Adjacent to the Bahia Palace and a quick walk to the jemaa el fna square. The staff is very helpful and nice and so is the owner. I highly recommend this place.”

Hamza

눉It is difficult to find the Riad as it's hidden in narrow paths we ended up being scammed by some locals who showed us where it was and expected for money,we were then told to call the riad and we would have avoided that.
눇Everything the guy called Samir was extremely polite and helpful, the breakfast was lovely the room was comfortable.

“Lovely traditional riad overlooking Bahia palace gardens”

눉Everything was perfect. It is difficult finding the riad on arrival as it is located in a maze of alleyways but we rang when the taxi dropped us in Bab Mellah square & Samir met us & showed us the way. After that it's easy and well lit at night.
눇Lovely riad with welcoming friendly staff who made our stay comfortable and enjoyable, especially Samir. The breakfasts served on the roof terrace overlooking the Bahia palace gardens were delicious and plentiful with breads, pastries, pancakes, yoghurt and fruit. The patio area smelled divine and our junior suite was comfortable and spacious with a great bathroom. We will be back.

“Great riad, best staff. Recommended”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉It is easy to arrive to the property when you have been there, but the first time was not. The property offered a shuttle that we didn't use, but they didn't send us details on how to arrive once you are near. Then it was uncomfortable to have people offering help and then requesting money for walking you a couple minutes. I recommend to ask the property for a detailed map on how to arrive, or to use the comfortable shuttle (we used it to go back to the airport).
눇The staff was awesome, Samir and Samira were always willing to help and Mehdi gave us many good tips and advice. The riad is very comfortable. We got the room "Marrakesh" which windows are not in front of the corridor, and it seems more private. During the breakfast, there are adorable bees who come to eat the jelly. We travel often, and I do recommend this riad, particularly because of the staff. It has been probably the short-term hotel/lodging where I a felt more at home so far.
