Very nice staff. Murat was very helpful upon our arrival. The rooftop terrace is cosy. The location was also quite nice

Not the greatest sound proofing through the doors and windows. One basically wakes up with the neighbors waking up and opening/clsoing their doors. Might be the case for other riads too, i dont know. The facilities list a swimming pool. Im pretty sure its the decorative pool in the middle theyre referring to. We werent really told it was open to swim. And no one was swimming during our stay either.

We loved everything about this beautiful riad, the decor was amazingly beautiful, it was so delicate and ornate. The riad was spotless and cleaned every day. The breakfast was delicious and traditional and plentiful. Mohammad was a gentleman, he organised transport to and from the airport and escorted us to the taxi at 2am. All the staff were friendly, pleasant and smiley. We loved the rooftop garden and the stunningly pretty courtyard and fountains. Location to the souks, the Koutoubia and the medina was brilliant, so close. I would stay here again!

Nothing, it was excellent

First, we were very well treated by our driver from the airport to th riad, Walid (sorry if the name isn’t correct). Then, the way Wafa received us was just… perfect! She helped us with all the doubts we don’t even know we had and make us feel super safe here. And she gave us our first tea in Marrakesh! The conditions of the riad, our room and the terrace were good. The place is beautiful. Love at first sight! Even the pool that look really small in the pictures was ok. It served us very well! It gave us the perfect relaxe time to escape the hot weather of the streets in middle of july. The cleaning was also cool. Nothing to say about it. Also we really enjoy the traditional breakfast. It was just perfect! Can we come back just to have it again? And last but not least: All the people there were so so nice that make our stay very comfortable. Thanks to Wafa, Ayoub, Morad and Rachid we had the best experience! And we even could hear about their culture and have marrocain music recommendations. The cherry on the cake! Thank you so much 🥰

We can’t say anything bad about our experience in Riad Louaya.

Wonderfully clean hotel. Beautiful riad in middle of medina. Close to main attractions. Once on main road going right towards city gates are lots of food stalls. Going left you can head to souks. The medressa was a highlight for us (must pay cash). Banks are close by to withdraw cash (they seem to allow a max of 2000 dirhams per day) but don't always have cash. We went to main square and got cash there (we saw at least 3 banks there, we had to queue and sometimes machines also ran out of cash...but were ultimately successful) You also need dirhams/euros to pay the hotel for the city tax and any taxi transfers. Glorious local breakfast. Local breads, pancakes with jam and butter. Sometimes omelette or fruit. Coffee and fresh juice. A real.treat.

Would have loved a slightly more comfortable bed and a desk in the room for work. But not a sure thing to get a desk in hotel any more, and we should have checked. Really great stay and fabulous value for money.

Riad Louaya is an oasis of tranquility, comfort, and silence. Upon entering from the hot, noisy city, you will find air refreshed by water and trees. The staff is kind, helpful, and very calm and easygoing. They assisted us with everything, advised us, and guided us. The rooms are comfortable and meticulously cleaned regularly. There is plenty of space in the common areas for sitting, and you can ask for tea and enjoy the peace and quiet. The breakfasts are modest but very tasty. For women desiring henna tattoos, you can choose from several catalogs or bring your own dream design. They use safe colors here, highly recommended! The accommodation is in a great location, situated at the entrance to the souk, close to the main square and attractions. Overall, we are very satisfied and recommend it!

We were very satisfied with the accommodation.

Very generous breakfast. Each day bread rolls and two kinds of jam with pikelets, pancakes and a pastry. Sometimes fruit or omelette. Coffee and juice. There was always someone on hand to answer the door when we came back to the Riad. It was sunny and warm, even in early December and we made use of the sitting area on the rooftop. We needed our boarding passes printed and the staff were very happy to help us with this. Our flight home was in the evening, and we had to check out by 12 noon, but they were very happy for us to relax as long as we wanted in the lounge area.

I’d 100% recommend this riad and we will definitely come back. It feels like home away from home, with maximum privacy. The location is 10/10 right in the medina and yet very quiet. Your good night sleep will be guaranteed. They probably have the best pillows I‘ve ever had at any hotel and the bed is super comfortable. Everything is clean. We have booked the airport shuttle with them, as well as some activities and everything worked very well. The staff is very nice and helpful. Problems are fixed right away. Their breakfast is typical moroccan, fresh and very delicious, as well as their mint tea. Each day it‘s slightly different. We‘re happy that we’ve chosen this riad. It made our stay in Marrakesh a wonderful experience.

Really lovely place to stay just on the edge of the main medina area. The room was fantastic and the air conditioning very welcome in the heat we had during out stay. The whole Riad is a little peaceful sanctuary in a very busy city, and we loved spending time sat in the tree lined courtyard area. We didn’t end up using the pool but it did look very inviting and those using it seemed to be enjoying themselves. Breakfast was always plentiful and tasty, and we had one evening meal in the Riad with was also excellent and good value. Taxi organised by the Riad to and from the airport whilst not the cheapest was super easy and made getting there effortless after a long flight!

Nothing to criticise!

We enjoyed our time at Riad Louaya. The staff were friendly and the roof terrace provided a quiet, sunny respite from the mild chaos of the medina. The breakfast served in the courtyard was a pleasant start to the day, and there were plenty of nice cafes and restaurants in the immediate area. The location really is tucked away and we would have struggled to find it on our own. However, Hakim kindly met us at our taxi drop off and escorted us to the Riad. I'd recommend arranging this.

Our room (and especially the bathroom) was quite small, but cosy. It was only somewhere for us to sleep, so not really an issue.

Riad Louaya was recommended by our tour guide before arriving in Martakech. The riad is in a good location in the Dar El Bacha area and only 4 to 5 minutes away from Dar El Bacha Museum and Bacha Coffee. It is also close to exploring the souks. The riad is nice and have the rooms with Moroccan decor which gives you Moroccan feel. Wafa, the manager and her staff are so lovely and friendly. Wafa, waited for us to be dropped off by the taxi on the main street to guide us getting through the riad. Thank you Wafa and team.

Breakfast was good but this is only a suggestion- to have some fresh fruits included and some cooked eggs or chicken hotdogs for a variety. Also, a kettle would be nice to have in the room. Other than that we like it here.
