“Great Riad - good location and nice accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2012

We stayed at Riad Louaya for a couple of nights and then returned for one more. We really enjoyed our stay there. We did find the Riad difficult to find, but other reviewers did not have the same problem so it may be down to our map reading skills (the taxi driver sending us in the wrong direction did not help matters either).
The Riad itself is so pretty. It is traditionally decorated and the roof terrace is lovely, with various seating areas, sofas and loungers. We loved chilling out on the roof terrace at the end of the day.
We had two different rooms, both triples. The first room was a good size and had plenty of room for the three of us. The only complaint I had was that there was no door to the bathroom but rather a curtain. We were three friends travelling together so perhaps shared more than we would have liked. Other than that, we had no complaints.
The breakfast was included and good.
The area was perfect, it was close to the main square a 10 minute walk or so away, but its also on a street with a local Moroccan market so it feels a bit out of the tourist trap in a good way.
The people who work and run the Riad were really accommodating, helpful and friendly.
Overall a really good stay and we would definitely return and recommend.

“Relaxing and cozy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2011

While touring Morocco for 35 days, this Riad was perfect for all the reasons: great location (just 10 minutes walk to Djemaa El-Fna, Koutobia and other historic sites plus banks, exchanges, ATM, etc), simple but beautiful cozy room, clean and above all a great place to relax in the calm medina' alleyways during my 8 days in Marrakech! Nice and helpful staff. I recommend this Riad and if back again to Marrakech I'll stay there for sure. Insh'allah!
Cheers from Macau SAR -China

“Nice, friendly and central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2009

I stayed in Riad Louaya for 3 nights with my mother and sister. We liked this riad because:
- it's relatively easy to find: it's close to Dar el Bacha palace and famous restaurants Dar Moha and Dar Marjana, so it's easy to tell taxi driver/caleche driver where to go
- It's relatively close to important sights: Marrakesh museum/Madrasah Ben Youssef is arond 10 mins walk; Djemaa el Fna is 10-15 mins walk
- it's very quiet and comfortable
- the staff is VERY friendly and helpful: I forgot one of my bags when checking out and one of the staff ran all the way to the main road to give it to me
- we felt quite safe walking around the area after dark
- the riad decoration is beautiful but restrained -- but you can still see the original features of the riad such as the calligraphy around the courtyard, which we found very interesting

One thing I don't like is the bed in our room (the triple room) - it's very hard, especially the single bed. If you like soft bed then this will be a problem; if you prefer moderately firm bed (like me) then you will find a sleep but only after a while.
