We had an amazing stay in Riad Swaka. The Riad itself is very pretty and has a nice rooftop terrace. Samir and Abdul are extremely friendly and helpful - they will recommend you some nice activities and restaurants. Samir picked us up when we arrived near the parking, and showed us the way to the Riad. The location is great, it feels safe, we walked everything. The breakfast was always on the roof terrace, and every day we got something else. All tasted really good, we even got our cappucino's with it!

There is a parking relatively closeby, but difficult to find using Google Maps. We ended up in the middle of the Medina with our car. Thanks to the helpful manager from Riad Swaka, we found our way back via video calling. Once you know where you need to be, it's easy to find.

The staffs were all amazing. Samir and Abdullah are really kind and accommodating. They helped us a lot during our stay and the hotel really exceeds our expectations. For such a cheap price, we had a beautiful traditional room and breakfast was delicious. All are freshly made and we loved it. The place is also near of everything. The square, palais el bahia, place menallah are a few minutes walk away. The place is also safe amd has free wifi. Just look out for the motorcycles on the streets. At first, you would think that it’s scary because there’s a lot of narrow streets before the hotel, but that’s the beauty of it. My friends and I really had fun and will definitely go back again. Additionally, Samir helped us book a taxi going to airport even on his day off. He is such a sweetheart. I definitely recommend the hotel. Also, if you want to buy argan oils and anything for souvenirs, go to the store beside the cafe restaurant at palace menallah. Just on other street. Look for Isham. He is very good at explaining every product and will give you a discount! He such a good berber. I will put the image of his shop on this.

Nothing. Everyone was amazing and very helpful.

Immaculately clean and very comfortable with high attention to detail - great bedding etc Fantastic value. Lovely breakfast on the terrace, changes every day. We especially loved the yoghurt ( home made) and the honey. Best of all, though, is the level of 24- hour service . Nothing is too much trouble and it really made us feel so confident and happy in what was a strange city for us. Abdul met our taxi ( sent by the riad to the airport) to guide us and waited with us for the taxi to go back. Every advice and help was given by Abdul and Samir - how much things should cost, where to go etc. everyone at the riad so friendly and nice. I’d recommend wholeheartedly.

We got lost returning on our first night as the riad is very tucked away in a maze of alleys, but we were fine after that - and in the light! Abdul pointed out we should have rung him; he would have come to find us!

If you want a true Moroccan experience, Riad Swaka Is the place to stay. Very friendly staff, they are professional but they're also capable of making you feel at home. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast in the terrace is such a pleasant experience. Special thanks to Abdul (and Semir) Riad Swaka is well inside the Medina's small streets, a little bit isolated, but we never felt unsafe, even when we came back at night, all alleys on the path are well illuminated.

Nothing.

The staff was very helpful and very friendly. We interacted mainly with Samir and will remember his very positive attitude, his smile and the time he spent with us to help us and answer our questions. The location of the Riad is good and we found it good value for money. The small swimming pool on the roof top is great for children to relax after a day of visiting the city. Great breakfast in the morning.

It was great value for the price we paid and there wasn't really anything we didn't like about our stay at the Riad.

We had the best time! Abdul and Sameer were amazing, so welcoming and friendly - they helped us with everything (getting taxis, finding our way around, recommendations for restaurants and activities, plus I arrived alone and Abdul walked me to the restaurant where I was meeting friends to make sure I got there safely), and always with a smile! Abdul taught us how to make the traditional Moroccan tea and taught us about local traditions, which was really interesting. The riad was clean and comfortable, amazing rooftop and really close to the main square and Souk. Breakfast was incredible, and Zahira made the most delicious breads (for breakfast and afternoon snacks). We would 100% go back to Riad Swaka and recommend for anyone to stay here! Perfect for groups and solo travelers. The personal touches as it’s a small place made our stay extra special.

Returned to riad swaka for a 2nd visit and had exactly the same experience ,nothing is too much trouble with Samir and Abdul around to help with anything you need to know ,a refreshing mint tea on offer day or night ,and more than happy to help with taxis or day trips ,rooms cleaned daily ,great location and perfect to explore what this amazing city has to offer

Quiet Oasis overlooking the Palace garden entrance. Abdul & Samir were thoughtful kind hosts and Zahira a great cook. We loved the security and relaxing on the terrace. Lovely Moroccan details in the decor. We stayed a week and felt really at home. We even enjoyed the many confusing lanes to find it once we had orientated . Comfy beds

By the end of the week the generous breakfasts which were tasty but very carb based, began to be too much. More fruit and cereal is needed perhaps. Remember to take ear plugs because Riads by nature are not that soundproof. All guests were considerate and we slept well. The pool is more of a water feature to dip your toes in.

What3words address if you’re struggling to find the place: unwell.adding.allows - it is quite unclear on google maps and difficult to find on day 1. We couldn’t have asked for a better host in Marrakesh. I would strongly recommend you stay here. Samir is there everyday and they even had Abdul working the night shift if you want a pot of tea or really anything. If you’re still hungry after breakfast they will cook you more food and Samir booked our day tours (which was cheaper than we found online), gave us lots of recommendations and even walked us to our shuttle bus.

Samir, the safe is not secured to anything and very light so I would recommend attaching to the wardrobe. Other then that no faults!

The Riad is very pretty, the rooms are nice and comfortable. There’s a very pretty rooftop terrasse where you can have breakfast and a small pool that was great after a long day walking around. The staff is excellent. Abdul and Samir were very nice and helpful and the ladies who prepared the breakfast and the rooms were extremely nice.
