The charm and beauty of Riad Hadika Maria is only surpassed by the wonderfully kind and helpful staff - every one of which made our stay a very memorable one! They know the city very well, and arranged daily excursions so that we could make the most of our visit to Marrakech and the surrounding areas. As well, we looked forward to the delicious home made breakfast outside on the patio rooftop every morning amongst cacti and singing birds, and where you could also spy wonderful views of the High Atlas Mountains. 10/10 - Highly recommended!!

Everything was wonderful!!

This is a beautiful riad with friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay and everyone on staff was helpful and accommodating. The walk to the riad goes through some windy streets that are a bit dirty but feel safe. If you stay in the old city, this is a part of the experience. Once you get through the door of the riad, everything is very nice. We had 3 nights at the riad and would stay here again. The rooms are large and very nicely decorated. The food is good. We had breakfasts and one dinner at the riad. It is a short walk to the souks. There are places to eat nearby and lots to see and do.

Absolutely stunning! A bit difficult to find, you definitely need google maps. But the room was gorgeous, breakfast - delicious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The decor had a perfect mix of traditional charm and modern comfort, making the stay feel luxurious yet authentic. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views, especially during sunrise and sunset, creating a serene atmosphere. Although the location was a bit tucked away, the quiet surroundings made it a peaceful retreat from the busy streets. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience, this place is an absolute gem. Would definitely stay here again!

Water could be hotter

We’ve been travelling to Marrakech for almost 10 years, and stayed in various riads, but there’s something very special about Hadika Maria. We stayed before in 2022 and were so impressed with the location, friendliness of the staff and design of the bedrooms (oh and the delicious breakfast!), that it was an easy choice on deciding where to stay this time. The riad is looked after by Amin, Khadifa and Abdul who are all completely wonderful. We’ve never experienced such warm, kind and attentive care to such a high standard before in Morocco. These guys went above and beyond. On arrival, I asked if I could upgrade our bedroom to celebrate a belated wedding anniversary and they couldn’t have been more helpful, not least because it was a surprise for my husband. Amin and the team moved all our luggage to the new room, and bought us the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, AND arranged petals beautifully on the bed and tables in the room. It was completely magical. We cannot recommend HM enough to anyone who’d like to visit Marrakech. The souks and outside world in the medina is wonderful, full of energy and a little chaotic, so coming back to these guys and this beautiful riad was a treat. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the roof terrace is super special and the breakfast is out of this world. It’s a little gem and we’ll definitely be returning at the end of the year!

There was nothing negative about our stay. We had a fabulous time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hadika Maria.

The Riad is beautiful. Very stylishly furnished and has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The communal areas (courtyard, terraces) provided a great space to have breakfast, drinks and generally chill out. Our bedroom was of a very good size with a huge bathroom! Very clean and good attention to detail. The breakfast and when we stayed for lunch was exceptional- all home made by the cook Meena. Exceptional. The staff are truly wonderful, the female manager (sorry can’t recall name), she assisted us so much with bookings restaurants/taxis & making recommendations. Furthermore Abdul and Anil, looked after us so well. So welcoming and kind. The location is in a traditional area of Marrakech which we loved. A short walk to the Souks and Square.

Nothing at all.

Brilliant stay at Hadika Maria. Our room was lovely, everything was clean & comfortable. Our room included a mini fridge, hairdryer, separate sinks (perfect for girls), complementary water on arrival , and aircon. We looked forward to the breakfast each morning with fresh coffee, juice, and preserves. All of the staff, including Muhammad & Amin, were very helpful and made us feel safe and welcome. We loved having mint tea after a long day, either sitting on the rooftop or our little balcony. Would highly recommend!

The riad is very nice, with great vibe and service. The staff offered warm welcome and has been helpful throughout our entire stay. The pre-arranged transportation and guiding and baggage service from the drop-off location to the riad were extremely helpful especially during holiday season and after a long flight. The property has a nice roof-top to relax and see the stars.

The location of this property is not as great as we expected. It took about 6-7 minutes of walk, deep into the neighborhood with lots of turns, from the closeset drop-off location; and it was not easy to get taxi nearby. Walking to the souk or the main squre takes about 10-15 minutes ideally; however, walking in the night is more difficult as many gates/streets will be closed. During the holiday season, there are people approaching visitors to give wrong directions and ask for money.

Firstly the people, The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful starting with Amin, who greeted me upon check in, included a mint tea and Moroccan treats, and he helped me navigate via map to main square using landmarks on narrow alleyways, to Abdul for always greeting me with a smile and inquiry about my day to preparing an excellent dinner on arrival night and each day, a gorgeous breakfast and finally, Khadija who was so helpful with any request but especially upon check out and starting for porter and airport transport. The airport transfer was organised by the hotel and arrival is to nearby parking garage with a porter to bring you the last 5 mins on foot This is an experience and your first steps in the city are through what feels like a maze of busy alleyways is a culture shock and you come to a modest looking door of the Riad which make you question your decision making!! But once inside it was stunning. The bedroom was amazing as was the rooftop terrace where you have dinner and breakfast. Nearby, there are two lovely restaurants that I went to, Le Foundouk and Le Trou Au Mur which are 5 mins from Riad. This Riad is definitely somewhere I would return to stay if visiting Marrakech again.

I have nothing bad to say about this place and the negative comments from other reviewers were actually positives for me. This is a Riad is in the Medina so it’s not a 4 or 5 star chain hotel and direct access by car is not possible, you need to walk last 5 mins. The main square, Jemaa el-Fnaa is approx 20 mins stroll through the Souks which for me was a perfect start and end to each day. I also did notice that I did have to wait for the door to be opened occasionally, but I figured out that knocking was far quicker than door bell.

The Riad was beautifully clean everywhere. Rooms were all so well decorated traditionally but modern. Good showers. The roof terrace was so amazing. Lots of different levels and so well furnished. My daughter and I had the house to ourselves which was a bonus but even if it was at full capacity you could find a private spot. All meals served on the roof top. We only had dinner there on our last night and wished we had eaten there more. Abdul treated us so well and made the evening special with candles and table laid beautifully. The food was so good and wine too. Breakfast again was delicious. Definitely go back again. Armine and Abdul were super kind and met us when we returned at night where our taxi dropped us off which was over and above their duties I’m sure!! and all of the ladies there made our stay perfect too. Thank you

We couldn’t fault the property and staff. Highly recommend. Also would be a perfect place to stay if enough of you to take the whole Riad

A beautiful and peaceful haven only moments from the medina. Gorgeous room, comfy bed, lovely furnishings. wonderful breakfast on The terrace each morning full of homemade local treats. View of the Atlas Mountains from the rooftop! Hosts were amazing, so friendly, warm and welcoming. Really helpful recommending places to visit and eat and booking for us if we needed help.

We loved it all.
