The owner of this property will greet you when you arrive and give you a detailed breakdown of the medina in Marrakech as well as a map. He provides very helpful tips on where to go and what to avoid and what the prices are for some of the tourist attractions. He is a native French speaker so it would be good to brush up on your French, but does understand English. I would stay at his riad again if I am back some day. The breakfast he provides is top notch. I enjoyed the fresh juice and mint tea as well as the other items. It is a light breakfast, but enough for me since I am a smaller person. For others with a bigger appetite, a follow up meal in the medina may be desired. Not a big deal since restaurants are relatively cheap for European and American tourists. Marrakech is quite the experience.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la Riad Abaca Badra. Gilles est une personne vraiment gentille, toujours aux petits soins et de très bon conseil. Dès notre arrivée, il a pris le temps de nous orienter, de nous donner des recommandations pour les visites et des astuces pour que notre séjour se déroule parfaitement. Le petit déjeuner est normalement servi à partir de 8h, mais à deux reprises, nous avions des excursions tôt le matin, et Gilles a eu la gentillesse de nous le préparer plus tôt . Et quel petit déjeuner ! Juste parfait, délicieux et entièrement fait maison. La riad est simple mais super jolie, on s’y sent tout de suite bien, comme à la maison. Le personnel est également extrêmement gentil et attentionné, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation à Marrakech.

Sehr sauberes und einladendes Hotel. Personal war sehr nett, sehr gute und ruhige Lage. Alles Top

A beautiful riad, well maintained and decorated.

Nos ha encantado, el señor que no regenta es muy amable y atento. La habitación es grande con su propio aseo y muy confortable. Te sientes como en casa y los desayunos de lo mejor que hemos probado.

My husband & I loved everything about this beautiful Raid, the location is very safe, quiet and only a small walk to the hectic square. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated and Giles and his staff were so friendly and hopefully. Two mornings we had an early start and it was no trouble for them to provide early breakfast which was very delicious. Staying at the Raid is a must when visiting Marrakech.

Wonderful place. Highly recommended.

The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very welcoming on our arrival. I did not like that the property did not accept credit cards.

What a brilliant Riad, a brilliant experience and a great location. This place is lovely and the charasmatic owner is a star, as are the staff. All wonderfu. The room, the yellow room, was very big with huge bed and a sofa-single. Shower room was great and the home-mixed soaps were beautiful. Very clean and very traditional. The owner woke up early to prepare breakfast for us before 6am, as we were off to the desert. Breakfast was again lovely, with homemade jams, eggs, breads, etc. Highly recommend this Riad, arriving here you immediate know you are in Morocco, a real experience. Free mint tea whenever you like - with homemade biscuits, of course. Hope to come back soon

Gemütliches und sauberes Riad. Nur zu Fuß zu erreichen. Direkt in der Innenstadt. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich. Frühstück typisch für die Region und reichhaltig. Würde ich jederzeit ein weiteres Mal buchen.

We stayed here for two nights as a family of 3. This hidden gem is conveniently located and very walkable. The host Gilles spent time to give us detailed information about how to navigate to the main sights, including details on prices for the main attractions! Although we did hire a private tour guide, we were able to use the information to do a bit more sightseeing on our own. The room itself is spacious and clean. The two large closets were great for storing all our luggages. The Riad also has a spacious game area with lots of books and board games. There is no TV (my son was disappointed but which is not a bad thing from my point of view) or refrigerator, but they do provide free water and tea. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which was mostly homemade (including yogurt). My son really liked their hot chocolate. We would love to come back again and definitely would love to try out the home cooked dinner!

Owner was very helpful and very attentive. Gave me useful information visiting inside of Medina.

Riad au top. Gilles et son equipe sont super. Bien situé, petit déjeuner très bon et copieux. Nous reviendrons

This was one of the best stays I had! The breakfast was AMAZING and our stay in Morocco was made so much better by our host and the staff here at Abaca Badra. The pickup from the airport was great, and when we arrived we were greeted with tea and an explanation of the areas of Morocco and helpful things to know. The room was equipped with argan oil, lotion, body wash, a blow dryer, robes, everything you could really need. We were able to get henna done at the riad as well which was very convenient! BOOK THIS RIAD!

Wonderful experience. Lovely host.

Notre séjour au riad s’est merveilleusement bien passé. Gilles a été de très bon conseils tout au long du séjour et les services proposés sont parfaits. Notre chambre Fès était grande, jolie salle de bain et très au calme. Le petit déjeuner était excellent et change tous les jours. Nous reviendrons !

Riad con buena situación, personal muy amable, Buenos desayunos. Muy recomendable para una escapada a Marrakech. Agua de la ducha poca presión.

Parfait Riad pour un séjour à Marrakech, Gilles et son équipe sont des hôtes extraordinaires, de bons conseils pour visiter et une restauration excellente, vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermés ! Encore merci pour votre accueil et le séjour 👍

Un acceuil hors norme, un lieux enchanteur. Merci pour tout!

Very cute place to stay, and the service was incredible as the staff was incredibly flexible.
