Riad Hikaya

✨ *Riad Hikaya was everything we hoped for and more!* ✨ From seamless airport pickup via their app in a luxe Mercedes to a warm welcome with Moroccan tea and a property tour, everything was handled with care. The location is fantastic—seconds from local shops and the Saadian Tombs. Our room was spotless and well-stocked, refreshed daily, and the air conditioning made sleep blissfully cool. Breakfast each morning was a dream—pastries, fruit, crepes, omelettes, Moroccan tea or coffee, and fresh juice—served in your choice of serene spots: poolside, terrace, or dining room. The staff truly shine. Everyone we met was kind, incredibly attentive, and full of insightful local tips—better than any guidebook. We booked a private Agafay Desert excursion, arranged smoothly and added to our bill with zero hassle. What really sets Riad Hikaya apart is the sense of home. Every small touch, every kind gesture makes a difference. We’re so glad we chose a riad over a resort—and even happier it was this one. Immense gratitude to the entire team! Highly recommended—we’ll absolutely return.

The staff at the hotel are fantastic we felt as if we were at home. Every evening my wife would say "see you later" as if talking to our kids Shout out to Nada for all her great sights ,cafes & restaurant recommendations along with the history of the Riad Abdul & Outman for their cheery dispositions & helpfulness Finally Bahija,Hanam & Kamilia for fantastic food & service. Wadia the manager should be proud of all his staff

Beautiful staff. Beautiful place. Amazing all around.

This is a fabulous Riat and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Location is ideal. The generosity and kindness of the staff is fantastic and an absolute stand out feature. Thank you for making a brilliant stay.

Too short. One night but service was exceptional. Fantastic experience and the decor a wow

The all staff person they are very very kindly

Excellent hospitality and service. Beautifully decorated riad. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared by the staff. Highly recommend staying here. It’s walkable to Saadian Tombs and shops are nearby.

Most beautiful and friendly places to stay!!!

My mother and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Morocco, and we stayed at Riad Hikaya to get the experience of staying in the Medina. I can’t complement the quality and kindness of the staff enough! If you are interested in having a Riad experience, this is the place. The staff will become like family. My mother, at 88 is not always steady on her feet, but they were super attentive and helpful. The food they serve is excellent! The breakfasts are a feast, and we liked the food so much we ended up eating most of our dinners there as well. You will not be disappointed. If staying in a more sterile hotel is more your speed, then this is not for you. But, if you want a warm and caring experience, I can’t think of a better place to stay. From the start, they gave us tips in negotiating prices in the Souks, they arranged for a top notch guide to help us navigate the markets, and they prepared us for navigating the Medina.

From the moment we entered the riad it was warm and inviting. Not sure I’ve ever experienced anything like this (in a good way). Each room was creatively decorated and unique. Breakfast was delicious each and every morning.Nada, Abdul and the entire staff felt like family by the time we left. If I could give a better rating than 10 out of 10 I would. Close to everything yet far enough away from the soul…easy walk. Hope to return some day.

Stayed for a week and was well looked after by all the staff, who were attentive and helpful on the area and arranged transportation for us on arrival and departure. While a little distance away from the Souk, 15 min walk, it’s not too far but offers a peaceful stay. Plenty of food places around the area and taxi nearby. Bus stop 5 min walk. Lovely sweet breakfast, often more food than we could eat. Pool takes the edge off the heat. And the terrace looks over the south of the city towards the Atlas Mountains, which are visible on a clear day.

We stayed in this riad for a full week (our first stop in a longer trek in Morocco) and I cannot say enough positive things about Riad Hikaya. An unassuming exterior in the relatively quiet Kasbah neighborhood leads to a gorgeous common area with a pool and a fountain, the latter adorned with fresh flower petals every day. Our room was beautiful, lushly decorated with beautiful details making everything feel cared for (a custom-made box to hide a heat/air unit? Great idea). The bathroom was incredible, with beautiful tile and marble work. Many of the staff have been there for years and it shows in how warm and welcome we felt there. The food is delicious. Breakfast became a wonder tour of different dishes. If you plan to eat dinner you should let them know in advance, as they will shop for ingredients in the market the very same day. Logistically, it’s a relatively short walk to the chaos that the Medina is known for, and has an uncommon benefit in being accessible by car. I cannot recommend a stay here more, and should we find ourselves in Marrakech, will be staying here again.

The Riad and the staff at Hikaya were wonderful. The space is an oasis of calm in a bustling city. Beautifully decorated and serene, with a lovely roof terrace to enjoy the Moroccan sun. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful (so many pastries) and had variety everyday. The staff were a perfect balance of always being available but also left you to enjoy the peace! Nada and Wadia and all the staff were super welcoming and we would return in a heartbeat x

Amazing people

My husband and I stayed the Riad Hikaya for our honeymoon and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The breakfast was delicious and elaborate! We had dinner twice at the Riad and it was absolutely delicious. When it comes to the service - it was seriously amazing! The staff were so thoughtful, personable and kind. The rooms were very clean, and the Riad itself was very well kept. We highly recommend this Riad for those traveling to Morocco. You will be enraptured by the decor and ambience of this Riad!

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!

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.

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.
