    This place is a gem in the middle of the medina. Peaceful and quiet, yet walking distance to everything. Beautiful room and bathroom,, nice terrasses and amazing breakfast. All the staff are wonderful as so helpful, but Adbo is exceptional! Felt very safe for single mother with teenage daughter. The narrow and intricate lanes of the medina are easy to navigate ones you start, and the riad is in a prime location. We loved our five days here!

    Riad Ilayka is absolutely beautiful. The moment you walk through the door it is a peaceful oasis. It is a gem in the Medina. Our room was the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern conveniences. We utilized their shuttle service from the airport and were met outside the Medina and escorted to the riad. We enjoyed a refreshing beverage upon our arrival and a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff are exceptional and helped me tremendously with locating quality vendors in town. Their friendliness and innate hospitality made our trip so much more memorable.

    Nothing bad about the Riad. There was a celling fan in our room but I would get a room with air-conditioning next time just for some extra comfort. And I found the last few streets to the Riad a little claustrophobic... but that's just me.

    Riad Ilayka is a beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina, Very peaceful. The rooms are traditional decor with dark wood and walls. There are outdoor areas to shade from the heat of Marrakesh and side areas in the courtyard. On the first floor, there are another few shaded seating areas.. There's also a seating area on the roof (covered), where you can see the rooftops for miles and sunbathing beds with umbrellas. Breakfast is a traditional breakfast a selection of mini bread rolls,, pancakes, flatbread and spreads, yogurt, fresh juice and tea, everything was tasty. All the staff were friendly and accommodating particularly Azzadine. The location is great and the Souks near the Riad are a little calmer than the main square and have a great selection of goods both modern and traditional particularly along the route to Rue Sid Abd El Aziz.

    Frankly there was nothing to dislike in this wonderful Riad. It was our first visit to Marrakech and I'm sure we'll return as there are many places to visit.

    The facilities and staff were excellent. We enjoyed the breakfasts and all requests were met to our satisfaction. The rooms were beautifully decorated and we were upgraded on our honeymoon stay. The location within the Medina enabled us to get around easily.

    The staff were all lovely and friendly, the riad was in the perfect location in between the Medina and Jemaa el Fna and we were also able to walk to the majorelle gardens and Yves saint Laurent museum from there (approx 25-30 min walk). The room was beautiful with lovely handmade shower gel and shampoo. Water and snacks were also in the room. There was a lovely welcome drink and biscuits too, gorgeous touches that made us feel welcome and special. The riad has a beautiful rooftop area too. Breakfast was really good, every day had a slightly different cake, pastries, pancakes, fruit, yoghurt and break as well as freshly squeezed juice and coffee.

    Our room on the ground floor was very spacious and cozy, but if guests use the stairs with suitcases, we could hear them. Same topic, around the noise, thanks to the nice trees in the patio, we could hear the birds at sunrise :)

    Azzedine, Khadija and the rest of the staff have just been fantastic before, during and after our stay. Smiling and ready to help at all times, we were welcomed with a fruit juice and some traditional pastries. The Riad itself is a jewel, it's spacious, green, beautiful and very quiet from the streets' noises. The breakfast is very good if you are a sweet tooth. We would clearly repeat our stay there.

    Traditional Riad with a wonderful welcome and interesting decor making our three night stay a memorable experience in Marrakesh. Abdul and colleagues patiently showed us in and out of the property through the depths of the medina. Breakfasts delicious and kept up our energy until ready for an evening meal.

    The Riad was exactly as pictured online, but it was the staff that made it so warm and worth recommending. They met me at the outskirts of the gates, and took my luggage through the medina, and even sweetly came to get me late at night so I wouldn't be walking alone. As a solo female traveler, that added attention was a real benefit. The breakfast was great and the room was clean, bathroom was good by western-standards. In January, it was a little chilly, so prepare to wear a jacket at breakfast in the outdoor court (although they cover it). The location was good - central and easier to find than another riad that I stayed at later in the week that was ridiculous to find.

    As our first experience in Marrakech, it felt a little intimidating at first but the staff at the Riad took care of every question and need my group had. We reserved 4 rooms out of the 7 available and it honestly felt like home that first night. They picked us up from the airport and once at the main square, we were greeted by another member of staff who grabbed our luggage and walked us through the market to the Riad. The place was clean, the staff were wonderful, the food was delicious. I have no complaints!

    No refrigerator or air condition which might be a problem in summer. Plumming and electrical net needs renewal.

    excellent breakfast, super friendly stuff, a really beautiful atrium. The room, in the ground floor was nicely decorated and clean. excellent location in the middle of Medina although a bit difficult to locate in the first instance. choose transportation from the airport by the hotel stuff.
