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!

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.

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.

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!

Abdoul was the highlight of the place, the Riad is beautiful, very clean and peaceful. All staff were always smiling and always ready to bring you whatever you need. Abdoul kept us company and always had something nice to say and share with us, recommended places to visit and good restaurants that were not expensive and the food was amazing. Breakfast at the Riad was different everyday, a lot of different choices to eat and drink. I will 100% stay here again.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Beautiful property which encapsulated the traditional architecture and beauty of Morocco. The property was kept clean and was a very hospitable environment. It was located very close to many of the main tourist attractions which made it convenient but also far enough to get a rest and some quiet from the hustle and bustle of the area.

Incredibly friendly staff, did everything they could to accomodate our difficult diet (gluten and lactose intolerances). Breakfast was served on the terrace up the roof, lovely atmosphere. The staff informs you but doesn't in any way pushes to buy tours or other services. The Riad itself is in a quiet street of the Medina (ok ok, wild cats and a few bits of rubbish in the streets, otherwise safe and above all quiet). Everything is nearby and can be visited on foot.

To save energy, NOT to change towels every day, but only when necessary, I suggest to put signs in every bathroom that would say to 'In order to save our water, Please put the towels into the bath if you want them to be replaced by fresh ones.'

I liked the whole vibe it was so good and the breakfast was the best breakfast I’ve had in my life and that’s not an understatement. The rooftop view with the sunshine and traditional breakfast, wow. The staff were amazing too so nice and hospitable

The streets leading up to it can be a bit unsettling but once you get used to it, you’re good
