Riad Hadika Maria

Amazing small riad with excellent rooftop view to the Atlas mountains, very helpful staff, quiet and peaceful place to relax after all the souks and hectic streets of Marrakech. Lovely breakfast aswell. The only thing that annoyed me was the wifi connection, which was spotty and wouldn't work well in the room, but in my opinion that was good as it brought me out of the room out on the rooftop, will be back!

Just adored this place, only bad thing was not having more time there, truly felt like a princess in this riad suite. Cant believe how beautiful the space is and I have stayed at lots of other riads. Comfortable bed and living area is so spacious and like a museum. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Other reviews mention it being difficult to find and I do agree with this but honestly nothing is very easy to find within the medina. Would definitely return here and hope to do so when I have more time, would book for entire stay

Upon arrival, even though we notified the Riad and got a reply back through email, they were surprised and didn't have the room we ordered available. They compensated us by giving us a bigger suit, this was a big + The service was disappointing and the receptionist at that time didn't make us feel welcome. The Riads manager on the other hand was hospitable and sincere. Surrounding the Riad is a labyrinth of many small streets which can make it hard to find. As a tourist you get constantly harassed by Moroccan locals who want to show you the neighbourhood or the road for "Free", and then intimidate you into giving them something in return (payment) This certainly is no hotel but it's kept clean, comfortable and lies in the center of the old town. It gives a good Moroccan feel. Would recommend it when it's discounted or when you're on a low budget holiday.

What a hidden gem in the Médina! The staff were lovely, the breakfast plentiful, the pool relaxing, and our room comfortable! We highly recommend this lovely Riad. Great value!

Originally we had booked a double room but on arrival & seeing a suite we upgraded as much more space & we wanted to treat ourselves. The beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, they would book Taxi's for us, organise us lunch, sourced a hairdryer for the day of the wedding & ironed our friends clothes. The free breakfast was amazing. We sat & chilled on the rooftop soaking up the October sun.

To reach it you definitely need a local guide, as no map being satellite or printed would help you /prepare what to pay him in advance and stick to it/, but once inside you can start relaxing and contemplating next time you go out, the riad will provide you with good idea how to get around, the rest is up to you following the small high above the narrow streets blue and red signs to the main square. The breakfast changes daily, diner is optional, but we chose to eat like the locals /at nearby market or near the main square/. The roof top is ideal for some relaxing time, reading, drinking sweet mint tea and soaking up the sun. Would recommend this riad to people not afraid to walk a lot and getting lost occasionally, as it is a fair bit away from the main square, the new town or any other places of interest, in a very quite part of the medina

i had great experience in riad hadika . enjoyed my stay in there. located in central old city.

The staff were very lovely and helpful. The breakfast on the roof every morning was lovely. The airport transfers were necessary, would never have been able to find it without being shown. 20 min walk to the square (if you manage to find the direct route that is!) 10 mins to the entrance of the souk. Excursions are cheaper if you book through a place in the souk rather than the riad as you can haggle and compare prices. The riad had wine on the menu but after an hour and half wait we were told there was none available.

This was a horrific 5 days stay.When booking for this hotel i saw "payment with credit card. Upon my arrival, i was asked to pay in advance for 5 days stay i offered Credit card then was told "machine doesn't work". the Lady asked me to get cash from ATM. i said i cann't do this, the she offered to take my card and get cash from friends, which i did and that was my mistake. guess what?, the so called friend gave her the due amount and overcharged my account with 28% of the amount (1900 Dirham instead 1500) which i immediately refused. she promised to cancel transaction. next day coincidentally I checked online my account and discovered a 2nd amount transaction (700$=6000 Dirham) which i didn't authorize. after showing her my US statement Both transactions from Restaurant Tazi she realized she is in trouble and tried to win time until i leave. it took 3 consecutive days of procrastination promising me she will return my money back (total round 900$). nothing happened, i threatened to call police, again nothing then i filed a claim at Morrocan Police department. The Police invited her (Mrs. Alexandra "french citizen")and obliged her to return all money back. which she did. Police report issued on Sept 16 2014 report number 1236 for verification

Multi lingual staff good attention to cleanliness apart from the usual I noticed little things like cleaning light shades and moving furniture to clean under not just around it.

Stayed in the riad for 2 nights. Staff at hotel very friendly and helpful. Had arranged pick up from airport - they appeared to be late and the telephone number we had did not work - then it appeared that the man had been there all a long - if using this service I would make sure you ask for a description of the person picking you up. Riad would be hard to find if you weren't picked up. First night sleep was excellent. Second night - very noisy people in the riad. Room comfortable and very clean. Lovely hot water. Owner pleasant and helpful. Location meant walking through souks at night but this wasn't an issue as was with husband.

I was glad for the advance communication sent by the RIAD, and even with that it was hard to find. So please do NOT ignore the emails send to you, explaining things to you before-hand

The place was very nice indeed and the plants are lovely but is being allowed to slowly fall to pieces. The new manager appears to have no experience in the hospitality trade and staff are not being supervised as they ought to. As per usual the devil is in the detail and the landlady does not seem to care. When something is being brought to here attention she improvises around it rather fixing it properly. Things that need fixing don't get fixed and it is beginning to show. There is no safe locked space to leave passports or luggage. I had the single room. Whatever you do, don't book the single room. The spiral staircase between bathroom and bedroom is very steep and unpleasant to negotiate at night in bare feet. The mattress is very tired and I wound up borrowing a pad from the seating area to sleep on instead. The plug in the shower is blocked and no effort was made to unblock it properly. There is no shower curtain and I was told to be careful "or there will be water everywhere" - obviously. There is no curtain on the bathroom window and it can be overlooked from the other rooms. I draped the bedspread across it. The wardrobe door and the door to the room both stick terribly and need force and a loud bang to open and close. There is no waste-paper basket. None of the lights in the room is strong enough to read a book by - single travellers with solo evenings to fill like reading books. Most worrying however is the attitude of the manager who doesn't care.

A lovely welcome from Alexandra and her team with mint tea and an introduction to Marrakech with maps and phone numbers of the night porter in case of difficulty. Lovely roof terraces to relax in the sun. Hospitable atmosphere. Wi-Fi was good in the room. Rooms clean and with a rose petal welcome. Water hot. Pool available to bathe in but didn't need it this time of year. I asked Riad Maria to arrange the taxi from the airport which was good value and meant I didn't get lost finding it amongst the winding streets. The road runs out about 5 mins walk away and therefore they arrange for man with a cart to take your luggage through the winding narrow passages to the Riad. It can be a bit challenging finding the square or your way back, even with the excellent instructions but I found the close proximity to the square and centre of Marrakech outweighed getting lost on my first night when I asked for directions and paid a few Dirhams to a willing guide. Perfect for couples or single men, a single lady might want to stay on a road with a taxi outside, although I didn't feel unsafe.

The place is nice but not easy to find.

Fantastic price for a great room, with one of the best breakfasts i've ever had (everything was fresh and almost everything seemed home made). Abdullah was a gent and gave me a ride on his motorbike early in the morning in order to find my tour bus and booked me a taxi for the next morning to take me to the airport.The only negative thing i can say is that even though i'm usually quite good with directions and maps, i could not find the riad. Of course you can pay a local and he will bring you there (which i did twice), but it would be great if there was a diagram with landmarks that would be helpful. The google map offered is not sufficient. But everything else was great

The very proffessional and polite owner of the hotel lets you in with a smile and a wellcome cup of tea and sweets. The quality of the service could not be better, the cleanliness and the comfort of the room could not be better too.The swimming pool in the central yard and the decoration make the place more friendly, you feel like home. Breakfast very good. It is somehow difficult to find it in the small ruelles of the Medina but in that way you have the chance to find out a traditional neighbourhood of Marrakech

Think you're going to explore Marrakech at night??? Well, forget about it if you're staying at this Riad. The neighborhood was so incredibly unsafe that we were harassed to death, followed by shady people, and even had rocks thrown at us trying to find our hotel down the tiny alleyways. It is so easy to get lost that you end up having to pay someone to direct you back to your hotel, and a half dozen other vagrants follow you the whole way shouting things and harrassing you up until the door of the hotel. IT WAS SO UNSAFE WE PAID FOR BOTH NIGHTS, BUT THEN GOT THE HECK OUT ON THE SECOND DAY since I knew we wouldn't feel safe walking back to our hotel the next evening and none of us wanted to deal with it. To make things worse, the room obviously fit three people and I was more than willing to pay an extra person fee. Instead, they insisted that we'd have to buy an extra room for our party in addition to our initial room. It made absolutely no sense, and they were so incredibly rude about it that this hotel completely lost my respect. The woman was so incredibly rabid about paying for another whole-price room that it was obvious it was just about the money, not about the guests. Sure, the place has "charm," it's a cute Riad and the rooms weren't bad at all (kind of hostel-like in terms of fanciness), but the management and the nieghborhood were so horrible our bags were packed by the second day of our two night stay.

Very well appointed bedroom and bathroom, so surprised the breakfast was so average.

Svært at finde, pas på lokale svindler i området dem er der mange af.
