Perfect little Riad for a weekend in Marrakesh- great location within the medina and close proximity to the souks.
Staff incredibly helpful and amenable- even before you arrive helping you plan your trip. Always happy to help and very knowledgeable on things to do and see.
Highly recommend!
The room was lovely and spotless. The breakfast was freshly cooked each day and lovely to enjoy on the rooftop. The staff were are amazing, giving useful information and making us coffee when we got back after a long day exploring!
We had a nice experience at Riad Lalla Azalay. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. We also enjoyed the rooftop where the food, breakfast and service was very good.

Staff were great and really helpful with how to get to places, will stay again!
Breakfast was delicious and served beautifully. The rooms were warm and clean, with a great roof terrace with a view over the city, great fir watching the sun set
The location was also very central for the Médina, old town and pick up locations for bus trips
Moustapha was a great help during our stay with many recommendations and tips. The staff were great, breakfast was lovely every morning.
About 20min walk from the main square, lovely restaurants all around. Close the the shops and not far to walk to the new city.

Excellent breakfast, the staff were very friendly and flexible. The room was very clean and refreshed every day, the beds were comfortable and the location was near to everything whilst being a bit out of the way to be quieter. It was hard to find, so get good directions and keep your own sat nav on in the taxi to make sure they get you as close as possible

Had an excellent stay at Riad Ekla! Can’t speak highly enough about how thoughtful and kind the staff was! Located in a central location but on a quiet road. Highly recommended!
The property was clean and the room had lovely touches like rose petals and bottled water. What stood out was the staff, Amen was like our personal butler, he was always on hand to assist us with directions, tours and dinner recommendations.
I was really disappointed by the Riad we were only there for 1 night any more and I would have not stayed. Pictures online seem to be AI generated as the Riad looked nothing like these in reality. Really dissapointed. Room was small dark and cold and beds were extremely noisy and uncomfortable.
Cozy quiet riad which was easy to find, not overly close to the busy souks, but still near a market street. Even though we arrived early, Youssef greeted us warmly, inviting for tea by the pool. Giving a map of the medina, he took it upon himself to point out highlights in it, recommending different spots for what we said we were interested in. He gave us much time in discussing the culture of Marrakech and Morocco as a whole.
Room ac worked well. Showerhead is installed a little too high, causing splash-out. Complimentary q-tips and makeup removal pads were provided. Pool is more of a wader which is common in a riad, a little bigger than a hot tub. Breakfast was various breads with some spreads.
Nearby convenience store was honest and did not overcharge.
The Staff at Riad Ekla were friendly, efficient, nothing was too much trouble. The Riad was clean, tidy. Moustapha on Reception was excellent as was the other Moustapha the waiter along with his sister who was in charge of house keeping . A wonderful warm atmosphere , we felt like family. Highly recommend staying here. Super easy access to the souks and New Marrakech without being too noisy. We booked trips through the Riad which were wonderful and airport transfers. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a wonderful Honeymoon. Matt and Becky
Heater was broken. Claimed they didn’t have another room. Asked to check out with a refund. They refused. Expedia contacted them, they still refused. Magically found another room at 2130. In the morning no water for the shower. They refused refund. In the end Expedia themselves had to refund me after I contacted the disputes team.
Truly enjoyed our experience at Riad Ekla! Not only was it beautiful, it was also relaxing. The area is perfect, it was in the medina but more on a quiet side. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Loved the breakfast. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech.

A bit overrated place. Nice pool and common area but rooms are small. I don’t recommend the apartments on the ground floor - very loud. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Absolutely amazing! The most caring and hardworking staff I’ve ever met! A huge shout out to Mowstafaa who helped us so much on our first night and throughout.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The Ekla team went over and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Special thanks to Redouane, Idriss, the two Mustaphas & one other person I am missing. Sorry I forgot his name.These guys were all amazing. Attentive & provided pretty much everything we asked for. I highly recommend Ekla for your stay in Marakkech if you choose a Riad

Mustafa, the owner was more interested selling his tour packages than helping us settle. The taxi driver did speak to him that we were coming and ask him to come outside the main road as the transfer from airport to hotel could not be reached by car but he out buying some grapes for himself. The adjacent empty block and back are full of rubbish. Not sure who discarded the rubbish but full of it. Other staff are nice and helpful.
