    Samir, the safe is not secured to anything and very light so I would recommend attaching to the wardrobe. Other then that no faults!

    What3words address if you’re struggling to find the place: unwell.adding.allows - it is quite unclear on google maps and difficult to find on day 1. We couldn’t have asked for a better host in Marrakesh. I would strongly recommend you stay here. Samir is there everyday and they even had Abdul working the night shift if you want a pot of tea or really anything. If you’re still hungry after breakfast they will cook you more food and Samir booked our day tours (which was cheaper than we found online), gave us lots of recommendations and even walked us to our shuttle bus.

    We had the best time! Abdul and Sameer were amazing, so welcoming and friendly - they helped us with everything (getting taxis, finding our way around, recommendations for restaurants and activities, plus I arrived alone and Abdul walked me to the restaurant where I was meeting friends to make sure I got there safely), and always with a smile! Abdul taught us how to make the traditional Moroccan tea and taught us about local traditions, which was really interesting. The riad was clean and comfortable, amazing rooftop and really close to the main square and Souk. Breakfast was incredible, and Zahira made the most delicious breads (for breakfast and afternoon snacks). We would 100% go back to Riad Swaka and recommend for anyone to stay here! Perfect for groups and solo travelers. The personal touches as it’s a small place made our stay extra special.

    The alleyways leading to the property were a little run down though this definitely wouldn’t put me off returning. Not the greatest approach to the property but the property itself more than made up for this

    Fabulous property with real homely feel. Staff went over and above to cater for our needs & were extremely friendly & welcoming. Great breakfast served each morning

    Rustic Moroccan Oasis

    By the end of the week the generous breakfasts which were tasty but very carb based, began to be too much. More fruit and cereal is needed perhaps. Remember to take ear plugs because Riads by nature are not that soundproof. All guests were considerate and we slept well. The pool is more of a water feature to dip your toes in.

    Quiet Oasis overlooking the Palace garden entrance. Abdul & Samir were thoughtful kind hosts and Zahira a great cook. We loved the security and relaxing on the terrace. Lovely Moroccan details in the decor. We stayed a week and felt really at home. We even enjoyed the many confusing lanes to find it once we had orientated . Comfy beds

    The best part about this property was the staff. You couldn’t get a more helpful and friendly staff that was ready to help you with absolutely anything you would need. The property was wonderfully located in the Medina, not far from anything. 😀

    Honestly, our stay was near perfect. Only tiny thing was that the room was a little small, so it was difficult to open up our suitcases properly.

    The staff was amazing! Abdel and Samir went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was also great and the riad looked clean (and smelled AMAZING) at all times!

    Best Riad in the whole of Marrakech

    This Riad takes hospitality to a whole new level. The stuff is the kindest and most friendly you’ll ever meet: they are always ready to help and assist with anything from requests related to the stay to questions about the city and the country as a whole. The property itself is stunning and super clean and welcoming - a quiet haven from the hectic city life. But I have to say that the staff made our whole trip as amazing as it could possibly be.

    Perfect friendly riad in a quiet part of the Medina
    • Leisure trip

    To save energy, NOT to change towels every day, but only when necessary, I suggest to put signs in every bathroom that would say to 'In order to save our water, Please put the towels into the bath if you want them to be replaced by fresh ones.'

    Incredibly friendly staff, did everything they could to accomodate our difficult diet (gluten and lactose intolerances). Breakfast was served on the terrace up the roof, lovely atmosphere. The staff informs you but doesn't in any way pushes to buy tours or other services. The Riad itself is in a quiet street of the Medina (ok ok, wild cats and a few bits of rubbish in the streets, otherwise safe and above all quiet). Everything is nearby and can be visited on foot.

    The access to the Riad was complicated and a little unsettling at first. After many trips it became routine but you still had to pass garbage area.

    Very small thing, like toilet paper was not replenished but it would not stop us returning.

    Great location close to all of the main tourist sites, also not far to walk for restaurants and coffee. Breakfast was really nice especially the pancakes. Samir and Abdoul treated us like family and went out of their way to help us. Our room was a good size and the beds were very comfy. We would have no hesitation to go back.
