Amazing stay at this riad. They greeted us with tea and biscuits. Gave us an info about Marrakech and where to go and how much to pay for things. They make you feel like family here. Would recommend 10/10

Can’t say enough about this beautiful Riad. Most importantly, the wonderful staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The rooms are beautifully decorated, we enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the rooftop, they arranged tours and taxis when we needed them. It’s one of the few Riads in the Casbah that a car can pull right up to so you don’t have to get out and navigate the small alleys.

The staff of this property, Wadia, Nada and Abdul are the nicest people, our stay at this Place was excellent! Superb customer service and very clean facility!! A few mins walk from the square. I will definitely be back in Marrakech and will definitely stay at the Riad Hikiya!!! A 10/10 for sure!
2.5 / 5.0
The most beautiful stay. The hosts made us feel incredibly welcome and were so attentive to our every need. We really felt so at home.
The riad itself is stunning, the detail and design is breathtaking and completely clean. Our room was tidied and refreshed daily.
The breakfast was amazing and massive! Loved trying lots of different traditional bits. For the last day, I wasn’t very well so breakfast was brought to my room at around 3pm!
Would recommend to anyone.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved this riad by far my favourite stay in Marrakech. You felt like royalty the moment you entered. The staff was always smiling and friendly and eager to help you. I felt like a celebrity here. The breakfast was amazing. The staff were EXCEPTIONAL. Truly outstanding. They went through an entire map of Marrakech with me offering amazing suggestions. Overall don’t hesitate to book here. The decor is also incredible. I stayed at 6 riads during my time in Marrakech this stood out among the rest as a truly magical experience. Loved every moment. So generous. So hospitable. And ultra safe as a solo female traveller.

Remarkable friendly staff. Staff was more like a welcoming family you haven’t seen in awhile. They were very hospitable and looked out for me even walking me into city one day to help guide me around.
The property itself like the name Hikaya or story is definitely magical and like a dream when you enter. The spaces inside are definitely a culmination of stories that you feel comfortable and relaxed in. Definitely a place I would return to. Be sure to try their food especially breakfast.

Welcomed by the manager and staff. Spoiled by them with a beautiful Riad, patio, pool and homemade breakfast.
Got the best tips and support to arrange fair transportations and even delivery of legit argan oil to our Riad.
Really felt at home, safe and escaped from the noise. The hospitality and sevice is unmatched, you really feel as a guest but at the same time part of the Riad’s family
5.0 / 5.0
I loved everything about Riad Hikaya but mostly the staff who work there who really went out of their way to make me feel like a part of the family. I felt they wanted me to be there. It was so convenient to get everywhere I wanted to get to in Marrakech and just minutes away from the square. The riad is absolutely beautiful. Make sure you set aside some time to relax in the pool and/or lounge on the rooftop.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful riad full of colour and character. On a quiet street in easy walking distance to the buzzing areas. Big comfy bed and nice hot shower. Breakfast was delicious and it was nice choosing different places to eat. Pool is lovely and the rooftop area is great to relax on. The biggest draw of this place is the staff. Wadi gave a big warm welcome with a useful guided chat with a map to explain the sites and areas. The staff there are incredible and Nada and the other people behind the scene work tirelessly and made us feel so welcome. A huge thank you to you all for a wonderful stay.

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. Words can’t express how grateful I am to the incredible staff. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was like a movie. As soon as we arrived they welcomed us with a refreshing tea ceremony and outlined the entire city on a map for us. I’m allergic to gluten and dairy, and the staff went out of their way to shop and prepare special gluten free breads and dairy free smoothies for me. The hammam experience was INCREDIBLE… I had to do it twice because I loved it so much. The Riad organized all of our transportation and services, and I can’t speak enough to the love, care, and memorable experiences they put together for us. From a dinner in the desert, to shopping at cooperatives with true artisans, to beautiful bridal henna with a song to bless us, to having the sweetest driver who took pictures of us everywhere we went, to tailoring a skirt and pair of pants for me, to giving us a lovely farewell. WOW. I have stayed at five star hotels around the world, but the Riad Hikaya is so much more. They became family. We love this beautiful old world oasis and will be back with our family for years to come. Thank you for giving us the honeymoon of our dreams. You are all truly a blessing! -Megan and Cory

Pros: Hospitable Staff, mingle with locals, safe, beautifully decorated and managed, friendly staff delicious onsite and freshly prepared meals, quiet property, walkable distance to the souks and cafes, Cafe Clock literally 200 ft away from Riad, and happiest group of people I’ve met during Ramadan.
Cons: The water did not get hot and barely came on after 10pm. The pool was not heated. WiFi intermittently drops( not really an issue for me as I’m on holiday and did not need it—more of an issue if you need it).
Now that that’s out the way! I enjoyed my experience here and would not hesitate to stay again given longer time in Marrakech. The people are extremely friendly, honest, and hard working. They want you to enjoy their country and take an immense pride in having tourists from all walks of life in their beautiful country. This Riad felt like home away from home in the sense that I felt safe and knew that I was ok each night. My son who is 11 joined me on this trip and he loved the authentic Moroccan experience at the Riad to include the welcome tea. I will be back! Thanks to all!!

Great staff. Monsieur Wadia, manager took care arranging taxi to pickup from the airport, Hot air ballooning, quad at agafay, hike to Ourika water fall, massage...and drop off at the airport.
Abdol was of great help. Got us SIM card, printed boarding pass..
The lady at the evening shift was very kind. She even offered to make breakfast for us 2.30 AM as we had an early morning flight
Nada brought a nice birthday cake for my wife
Excellent experience

The hotel's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of its design. From the elegantly decorated rooms to the impeccably maintained grounds, every inch of Raid Hikaya exudes charm and sophistication. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, you'll find yourself instantly at home in this tranquil oasis.
But what truly sets Raid Hikaya apart is its exceptional service. From the friendly staff at the front desk to the attentive housekeeping team, every member of the hotel's staff goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is nothing short of perfect. Whether you need recommendations for local attractions or assistance with dinner reservations, the staff at Raid Hikaya is always ready to help with a smile.

We absolutely adored the Riad—a genuine Moroccan delight. The staff's kindness, available 24/7, made us feel at home, and we'll genuinely miss them. The delightful food and the Riad's ideal location, close to tourist attractions yet peaceful, offered the best of both worlds. Next time we will do sure stay in the Riad.

my girlfriend and me where the only guests at the riad, which suprised us. we got an upgrade to the biggest room, right next to the pool and felt like family, the moment we entered the riad. staff is so friendly and helpfull. everything was perfect, beauftiful riad and atmosphere. breakfast was delicious and the location was also good. you can walk to the medina, in the night time we always took a taxi to get back to the riad, was like 20 dirram. many small restaurants and shops near the riad. thank you to the staff, for the experience and the upgrade.

Riad Hikaya is a feast for the senses- everywhere you look there are different Moroccan artefacts, textures and colours. You truly are transported to a different world as soon as you enter. All the staff are excellent- super attentive and friendly- making you feel like a king and queen within the Riad. Highly recommended, and so glad we stayed here. Thanks to Wadia, Nada and the whole team.

We stayed at Riad Hikaya for a few days in June 2023. The riad's staff is wonderful. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. For example, if you need a taxi, then the front desk can help you arrange one. The staff are also willing to help arrange anything else you need. The restaurant is good - a highlight is the breakfast. If you ask nicely, the staff will bring your breakfast up to the roof deck. The indoor pool is handy on a hot day. The hotel furnishings are beautiful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

A remarkable place for a short break. My wife loved it and filled my heart with genuine gratitude. We were treated extremely well and service was always with a smile. Guidance was apt and true. The Riad had so much craft and beauty it was so relaxing and remarkable. As Africans we were so proud of the quality of service and charm we experienced .

My wife and I truly loved our stay at Riad Hikaya. From our gracious welcome, to lounging in the pool, celebrating with the staff a Morocco World Cup win, the delicious food, incredible service and friendliness of the entire staff, to our teary eyed goodbye when we had to leave. Everyone at Riad Hikaya makes you feel like family and we can't wait to visit our Family at Riad Hikaya again.

John greeted us and spent 2 hours briefing us on Marrakech; best sights, best restaurants, excursions, people, culture, history, scams to avoid, bartering tips, personal safety, .... This gave us a lot more confidence in what is quite an alien environment for most tourists. We really enjoyed the whole experience from beginning to end.
We will recommend Riad Hikaya to family & friends.

We would like to thank Wadia and all the girls for the most amazing stay. My husband and I stayed for 8 nights in October, 2018. The staff treated us like family. It was our first visit to Africa and first visit to Morocco but we had a feeling we knew the people for a long time and they are the people we could rely on. All our excursions outside of Marrakesh have been arranged through the Riad and all of them were amazing. We had the feeling we were protected and we enjoyed every moment of everything that we were able to sightsee in Sahara desert, Ait BenHaddou, Atlas Mountains and Essauira. All the advices and recommendations provided by Wadia were priceless. The Riad itself is very beautiful, very nice decorated. It was our first and last pleasant touch to Moroccan culture. Without the Riad staff our trip to Morocco could not be so wonderful as it actually was. Thank you so much again Wadia and all the girls! You are brilliant!

Looks like a movie set but like a movie set, many things are visually appealing but actually don't work. Shower sprays all over due to connection which should have been fixed before guests arrived. Shower stall pan overflows. Beautiful Copper Tub but we had to use it as a luggage rack (no luggage racks). We only had two small rollaboards, one had to be placed in the bath tub and the other high on a shelf across from shower. Leather and cloth slippers were previously used. After bed was made one day I found a small white worm between the upper and lower sheet, also a little dark bug that when I squished it made a small red smear on the bed. The staff were nice but not trained and/or supervised well. We ate a meal there the first night but never after. While the cous cous grain was cooked nicely (best I had in Morocco) the lamb and chicken in both dishes were very tough and dry. Staff had a problem with anticipating our daily needs and needed to be reminded of coffee preparation and had to be taught how to boil an egg so the shell would come off easily (a little salt and vinegar). Staff were very nice but not very experienced. Dinner was one of the costliest we had in Marrakech and one of the worst (meat wise). I suggest the vegetarian cous cous. In closing, I'd skip this movie set until it gets its act together.

They were wonderful to me. I felt like their attention to detail was carried through out every part of my stay. The manager was thoughtful and reliable in his overall capacity as director. The women who attended to my care were also attentive to details, professional with heartfelt attention.

The property was amazing! It is very unassuming from the street, but once inside the doors it is like a magical place! The host, John, is such an interesting and knowledgeable fellow - super helpful and provided so much information. The staff were also exceptional. They were very responsive and kind - genuinely interested in making your stay the best. I would definitely go back to Riad Hikaya.
