Riad Khalifa

I travelled as part of a group of ladies - our first time in Morocco and the team at Riad Si Khalifa made it an unforgettable trip. We were a little dubious when we arrived, the Riad is down a ramshackle alley (as are all the Riads!) but the door opens and you find yourself in the most gorgeous setting. The riad is very clean and comfortable and the staff are outstanding. They go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need and can contact them at any time - especially if you get lost, which we did! It was so reassuring to know there was someone around day and night. The breakfast was fresh and there was something for everyone. If you want an authentic riad experience don’t hesitate to book here!

We stayed at this Riad for 4 nights and I can only recommend it to everyone! Located strategically to visit Marrakech's major attractions, it's a 10/15-minute walk from the main square (Jemaa el-Fnaa) and 25 minutes from the Jardin Majorelle. Although difficult to find at first, the alley leading to the Riad is safe and well-lit at night. Once you step through the entrance door, you find yourself in a typical Moroccan house, where every corner immerses you in the local culture. Our room was very spacious with a king-size bed, freestanding bathtub, and ensuite bathroom. Make sure to communicate in advance if you prefer a room with a shower. Breakfast is served on the Riad's terrace, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama. Breakfast includes: coffee, milk, honey, jam, yogurt, cake slices, pancakes... served at the table. Dinner is available upon request (but we didn't have time). The Riad offers excursions, massages, and Hammam. We visited the Atlas Mountains using a private driver provided by the Riad. Naturally, it costs more, but I can assure you it's worth it. The driver stopped whenever we wanted, accompanied us at every stop, and was kind and attentive throughout the journey. We took advantage of the Hammam and massage offered by the Riad and were satisfied, especially with the massage. Internet works well in almost every corner of the Riad. I saved a special mention for the staff: from arrival to departure, they accompanied and spoiled us. Especially Hassan, who was an angel. I will definitely return when I'm back in Marrakech!

Staff went above and beyond for my birthday which was so appreciated. Peaceful rustic riad near Bacha. Staff couldn't do enough for me

I stayed with friends at the Riad Si Khalifa for 5 days and we had a fantastic experience. The place itself is a very traditional Riad: the patio is a great spot to seek some cool after visiting the Medina. The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds are particularly comfortable. The staff is friendly and responsive. I recommend asking them in advance for rides from and to the airports so they will bring your luggage to the main Gate by hand-drawn cart from where the taxis operate. It is not easy to find your way around the Medina but you can book a guide who will show you around. We had a traditional dinner once in the lovely private dinning room in the patio and the food was really nice. The breakfast was served on the rooftop and we often took a snooze on the sun deck. Very relaxing. We didn't try the hammam but there is one small spa for guests only. Staying in the Medina is amazing but be aware of the high amount of vespas riding around, walk close to the walls! I recommend this place for couples or groups of friends more than for families.
