“Genuine hospitality and service in a truly authentic riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

When we walked through the doors of the Riad, we were welcomed by a warm and home-like setting, that put us at ease immediately. Then the refreshing fresh drinks were presented to us and we immediately relaxed after the long trip we just had.

The staff is friendly and always smiling; you can see how much pride they take in making your stay a memorable one. Mohammed took us on a tour of the Riad and made sure we visited every corner, terrace and other amazingly decorated common areas, especially the tower at the top... what a view and what a place to enjoy quiet moments at sunset. And Halima... at Riad Ilayka, they tell you to "forget your watch"; indeed, no matter what time we woke up, a delicious breakfast was ready within minutes and served on the patio downstairs. Halima's omelettes are the best I have had in such a long time.

As for Moutâa... she is the most amazing and welcoming manager I have ever met. She treated us like family, gave us advice about what to do in the old Medina, what places to visit, how to maneuver through the vendors in the souk and the "entertainers" in Place Jamee El Fna; she even organized tours for us and made us the most amazing dinners we've had. She gets to know you then she gives you really customized advice.

We received 5-star service while staying in what felt like a warm welcoming family home. Thank you Riad Ilayka for making our stay so memorable... we will come back.

“If heaven exists on earth, it is in the Riad Ilayka that it lies.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012 via mobile

I am basking in the Riad Ilayka's charming courtyard sipping on delicious moroccan mint tea. I think I see the butler approaching with sinfully exceptional amuse-bouches. I sit here and I feel in true heaven, the background music sensually drifting me to sleep. My favorite part of this Riad has to be the decor, the attention to detail is truly incredible. Each room is a treasure, waiting to burst out of the seams. The staff has not once stopped smiling. My every whim has been attended to in the most gracious of manners. The food is truly exceptional. The burst of flavors remains on my palette, each ingredient in perfect harmony with the other. In fact, we can take very instructive as well as diverting cooking classes here. Finally, it is situated in the heart of Marrakech's most happening area. Which is why when after a day of treading all over the city, this Riad is the perfect cutoff. The minute the main gate opens we are trust into the most beautiful, calm and serene space. Trust me when I say you'll never want to leave.

“Amazing Authentic Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 9, 2012

In the heart of the Souk, all you hear at night is the whisper of the air conditioning. The top observation tower is a perfect place to share a bottle of wine and watch the sun go down over the rooftops.
The service is fantastic, we found the alleyways of the souks outside the door crazy but safe to wander around in. The hotel will happily guide you and insist you phone up if to be collected if lost . The meals are out of this world, we read Morocco has small breakfasts, not here, it was enormous and the evening meal far superior to any restaurant we tried, we were made to feel very special, an honored guest, thank you for the unforgettable experience.
