Fantastic location in the Medina but close to the edge, near the main city. Clean, modern and comfortable. The staff, especially Khalil were super helpful and really lovely - they care about their guests.

First of all, my brother and I arranged the airport transfer with Ali at the Riad, so getting there was very straight forward. If you haven't been to Marrakesh before, then believe me, getting lost is easy. The Mylaya is as it looks in the pictures and as you would hope by the reviews. I think there are only four rooms and ours was very comfortable, especially as we arrived there during a mini heatwave in September around 40 degrees each day. Air conditioning certainly helps. The staff were great, welcoming, friendly and made us both very welcome each time we returned. There are bigger and fancier places to stay, but they are a lot more money. We were very happy with the Mylaya and the wonderful staff.

After i booked the Riad, Ali took the time to write all the neccessary informations and he even arranged the airport pick up and drop off. We were greeted by Khalil, who picked us up form the taxi drop point until the Riad. He offered us the delicious mint tea and biscuits and took time to explain all the neccessary informations on the map. We tried some of the restaurants he suggested and were really a very good choice. I think the location was very good, close to all the main streets and one of the main entry doors of the Medina. The terrace where breakfast is served is a small oasis of tranquility and fresh morning breeze. We really enjoyed our stay at the Riad.

If i have to add something, i would prefer a softer bed but this are personal preferences.

The Riad was excellent. The room was small but comfortable and very clean. The location is convenient—slightly away from the main square, but all the main attractions are within a 15-minute walk. Khalil and Zohair were amazing: extremely welcoming, helpful, and always ready to accommodate any needs. Ali, the owner, was also very attentive and happy to assist with any questions. He has contacts to organis e tours and arrange airport transfers. The breakfast was delicious and varied each day.

Nothing

This accommodation exceeds every possible expectation. I have travelled all over, and often book through Booking.com--Riad Mylaya is truly a gem. The service goes above and beyond in every aspect, Mohammed was incredibly helpful and accommodating at the guests every whim. The photos accurately represent the property, it may actually be more magnificent in person. The communication and pick up/drop off was incredibly simple and seamless. The house was spotless and every small detail to elevate your experience is payed heavy attention to. I would recommend this to everyone I know and will be booking this accommodation again if I return to Marrakech. Thank you Riad Mylaya and Team for truly making my Morocco trip such an amazing experience--you have perfected offering guests the perfect stay!!

My recent stay at Riyad Mylaya was an absolute delight, and it's all thanks to our wonderful host Ali! From start to finish, Ali went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was truly unforgettable. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine smile from Ali. The riyad itself was a hidden gem – a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. The attention to detail in the design and decor didn't go unnoticed, it created an ambiance that truly allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. Ali's recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and experiences were spot on. It's clear that he takes great pride in his city and wants his guests to experience the best it has to offer. We discovered hidden alleyways, sampled delicious local cuisine, and experienced the rich history of the area, all thanks to his thoughtful guidance. What truly set Ali apart was his personal touch. He was always available to answer our questions and provide assistance whenever needed. Whether it was arranging transportation, suggesting off-the-beaten-path sights, or simply engaging in friendly conversations, Ali made us feel like we were staying with a close friend rather than a host. As we reluctantly checked out, Ali ensured that every aspect of our stay had been perfect. We left with not only amazing memories but also a genuine connection with our host. If you're considering a stay in Marrakech, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing Riyad Mylaya and having Ali as your host. Our experience wouldn't have been the same without him, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Ali, for going above and beyond and making our stay exceptional.

Quiet, easy to walk places from, great rooftop to unwind. Khil was very personable. Breakfast changed daily and was served according to our schedule.

All good

Mohammed and the rest of the staff were wonderful. They are always accommodating. The facilities were pretty and clean.

This fabulous little riad is tucked away in a quiet alley in the Medina, just a few metres from the busy, bustling Bab Doukkala market area for local Marrakesh residents. It’s not far from the bus station and fairly close the the north-western Medina wall. Ali kindly offered to meet us off the bus, but we chose to make our own way, as we weren’t sure of timings and had no phone contact the first day. He therefore sent us photos, which enabled us to find the riad easily. The area is completely safe, as long as you keep well to the right (yes, opposite to what we’re used to) to avoid the motor scooters that weave deftly through the crowds. A brisk walk to square Jemaa el Fnaa takes 20 minutes, but as there are shops and stalls all the way, it may take you longer as you can’t help but browse. There is a wonderful upmarket restaurant, 4.9 stars on Google, within about 300m « La Terrasse du Jardin », where I had an amazing vegetarian tagine (go for the « Royale »), but there are many tiny eateries in the vicinity offering delicious home-cooked food. The Riad was perfect. Friendly dedicated staff, everywhere spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated (just as you see in the photos), the water was always hot, and the friendly staff was always on hand to offer mint tea whenever you arrived back from a day’s sightseeing, or a night out. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and varied and, although we were perhaps not the easiest of guests, my companion’s food intolerance was taken into account with all the extras she requested. It can be served inside, or in warmer weather, on the pretty terrace. The riad itself is super-safe. Guests are not given a key to the front door, but a staff memeber is available day and night and the door is opened within seconds. Each time you leave the riad, a staff member accompanies you to the door and wishes you a nice day. Staff members don’t sleep on site but the riad is manned 24 hours.

It was perfect. If you want to see the real Marrakesh this is a wonderful area. If you want something touristy, go near Jemaa el Fna.

Staff was friendly and knowledgable. They made the stay easy and arranged cab to and from airport as well as a tour guide for one of days. I recommend getting a guide to see and do more in less time while in Marrakesh. We then had a comfort level with the city on our own for the remainder of our stay. Riad was perfect in every way. Loved the evening tea!

They do not accept credit cards onsite so if you have them cook you food (which we did on the first night and it was excellent) you should have cash when you check out. We paid those charges in Euros so really it was not a problem. There is also a currency exchange and ATM right near the Riad so this isn't a problem but there is nothing bad to say about this place.
