Riad Khalifa

We enjoyed breakfast. I think it would have been better if breakfast included omelettes or eggs every morning; I am not sure if we should make a request for this. But overall, breakfast was nice, and the fact that we had it sitting on the rooftop, taking in the vista of Marrakesh, counts for everything. We liked the location of Riad Khalifa, which is right in the heart of the Medina. Marrakesh itself is a beautiful place full of hidden gems. We enjoyed the tourist attractions; our favorite would be the Secret Garden, which is only a 5-minute walk from the Riad Khalifa. We liked the local restaurants. I would definitely recommend popping over to Koulchi Zine and La Jardine (the food and atmosphere there were amazing).

The staff was extremely nice and helpful! (I only remember Hassan’s name but all of them was really friendly, and we got a lot of useful tips from them to explore the city without getting scammed) We arrived a bit early but it was no problem: they have a luggage room but we chilled a bit in the inside garden with a welcome mint tea and got our room in less than an hour. The rooftop is amazing, our room was clean and comfortable (exactly like on the pictures), and the staff was always around if we had a question. If you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs (I did, and had no problem sleeping) otherwise you might wake up for the other guests or the call to prayer. It’s amazing how quiet it becomes once you enter the Riad, completely shuts the noise of the medina out.

This riad was great. Big rooms, beautiful building and perfect location. But what stood out above the rest was the exceptional service from the staff. Hassan in particular went far above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay, from meeting us when we first arrived to help guide us down the maze of streets to the riad, to messaging us on his day off to ensure we got our transfer and got home OK at the end of our visit, and always with a big smile. Khalil and the manager Imad were also great throughout our stay, including Khalil negotiating with and taking us to our return transfer & printing our boarding passes last minute, and Imad getting a gift for my partner when discovering it was her birthday, and being really flexible on checkout times. Thank you to the whole team, you really added to our visit.

We had an excellent time at Riad Khalifa. The staff was amazing, kind, very welcoming and they really looked after us. They made us feel like family. Imad, the manager gave us many tips and was very friendly and easy to talk to. The room was very spacious with traditional furniture adding to the overall experience of Marrakech. The Riad is very beautiful , quiet and within 5 mins walk from the market through a few alleys. We also had a few meals at the riad which were excellent and they also had very good breakfast. We were able to book transport through them and they were able to take us from and to the drop off point so we don't get lost. Nothing was too much trouble for them! If we visited Marrakech again we would definitely stay there again!

The riad is beautiful and in a perfect location. It is very peaceful and cozy and the roof terrace gives best view for sunsets. The breakfast was very delicious. The staff is exceptional!!! Hassan took good care of us, he is simply the best! We also had a chance to meet Aimad, the manager of the riad who passed his great knowledge to us about Morocco, very nice chats and also thanks to Ahmed for his hospitality. I would recommend this riad to anyone!!! 😊
