Great place to stay, glad the taxi drive showed us where it was, but once we found our bearing the location was really handy, and away from the noisey streets.

We stayed at Riad Akka for 3 nights in September.

After negotiating the alleyways leading up to the Riad, we were warmly welcomed by the manager into this lovely Riad. The Riad has been tastefully refurbed in a contemporary style. Our room was comfortable, clean, stylish and thankfully air conditioned!

I think what particularly made our stay here so positive was the friendly and helpful service from the staff. We chose not to dine at the Riad as we were only staying a few nights in Marrakech and wanted to get out and about, but we heard nothing from good things from those who did. Though we chose not to dine there, this was not held against us and the manager was actually really helpful in recommending places for us to eat.

The Riad only has four guest rooms but it has a real family feel about it. Thankfully it is slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the souks; we would recommend getting hold of a good map before negotiating the maze that is the medina.

Recommended to all

The place is charming: beautiful rooms; relaxiing haman and amazing roof top garden. Breakfast was delicious.The manager, Abdel, is so helpful. He walked with us to the taxi stand and helped us buy a large lantern. He really made our stay so much easier!

We arrived at Riad Akka in Marrakesh early in the morning after travelling on the overnight train from Tangier. Although we were much earlier than the stated check in time the staff there made us very welcome and served us a gorgeous breakfast which became one of the things we most looked forward to at Riad Akka. Its fair to say finding Riad Akka was the only difficulty we had, and winding through the narrow lanes of the medina was an eye-opener for a couple of kiwi's who'd never travelled in that part of the world. Once through the gorgeous big doors this was like a little piece of paradise. The decor was modern and tasteful, the room stunning. The little touches such as gorgeous glass bottles for shampoo's and body lotions made us feel pampered and the staff were lovely and extremely helpful. Riad Akka was on the higher side for us as far as average price went, but the rate was very good value for the standard of the accommodation and it was so worth splashing out and treating ourselves as it made our stay such a memorable one in Marrakesh. The hotel staff helped organise day tours for us, arranged taxi pick ups and booked restaurants on our behalf. The only problem that actually turned out in our favour was when there was a massive downpour of rain our room sprung a slight leak. This was rectified immediately by upgrading us to one of the more expensive rooms which was even more lovely than the original one. I cannot recommend this Riad highly enough if you are going to Marrakesh. The location is a little hard to find but once you're there its only a 10 minute walk to the square.
