My wife and I were amazed at the level of service, quality and presentation of the food, and the Riad's provision of total serenity in the middle of the always exciting and sometimes chaotic city of Marrakech... I also have to mention how amazing the Imlil excursion that the staff arranged for us was... Our driver Hamza and guide Hasan made our trek through the high Atlas Mountains an unforgettable experience... Special props to our host Ouraya... Unfortunately, I misplaced the sheet on which I wrote the names of the staff members but we also especially appreciated the young man who first welcomed us to the Riad and served as our guide to Marrakech...

The rooftop pool area was a particular highlight of ours and with only 9 rooms in the Riad we had it all to ourselves which was a nice touch... The area and courtyard were very green and full of life and even had a few tortoises roaming around freely... The only thing I would say is the bed could have been cleaner, but this was not a major complaint, if you're visiting Marrakech a stay in a riad is a must...

    ...Our superior room was reached up our own winding spiral staircase, and opened out into a beautiful, highly decorated space, full of pretty things. The huge internal courtyard is a peaceful tangle of green, and is only one of many lovely public areas, tucked away on multiple levels and including the stunning rooftop... There's so much choice that we hardly saw another guest, except at breakfast (which is incredibly good, the best we've ever enjoyed over 30 years of travelling as a couple)... The airport car service was excellent, and worth every penny... I also nervously tried my first hammam, which was fantastic, and delivered with warmth and caring...

The location made it easy (relatively speaking) to navigate the chaotic medina and always find our way home... Our wish was to have part of our time in Morocco being within an authentic Riad within the medina, but still have most of the comforts of a luxury hotel... Riad Kaiss fit the bill perfectly... The included breakfast was excellent and we had a nice dinner one night on the property... We also enjoyed the onsite hammam and spa...

    From start to finish this was a world class experience. The reviews on here seemed almost to be too good, but this place really does live up to its deserved reputation... Every single staff member is dedicated to making your stay a joy... From the taxi organised to pick us up from the airport, to the excellent restaurant recommendations, to the unforgettable trip to Umlil in the Atlas Mountains, to the drinks brought to our terrace at the end of a long day’s sightseeing, NOTHING was ever too much trouble...

    ...Beautiful Riad and perfect location... The staff will help you with whatever you need and you are treated like family the entire time you're there... It's also quite quiet and peaceful...

    ...Our party of 12 benefited from the place to ourselves, including the garden courtyard and the rooftop poll. The staff did its best to help us, from customizing our morning breakfast to organizing our outgoing rides...

    ...Since the building is some 300+ years old, the rooms are all different and relatively small but comfortable and very nicely decorated. There is heating, WiFi and cooling but no TV... The breakfast can be eaten anywhere (in the courtyard, near the dippool, on a terrace..)... The hammam and the massage were very nice although personally I prefer to go to the public hammam, a more authentic experience... All in all staying at this Riad was a great experience (though not cheap)...

    ...Our every question or concern was graciously addressed. Houdaifa was especially sensitive to our concerns about good transportation to several locations we wanted to visit... He personally mapped our route to different museums and shopping areas... He spoke fluently in English, which was a real blessing... At the Riad, the breakfast was a delicious treat... We always had plenty of water and fresh fruity beverages to stay hydrated... Our room was comfortable regardless of the temperature outside...

Loved our stay at Riad Kaiss! We felt so well looked after from start to finish. The staff were lovely, super attentive and the Riad had a serene and calm feel to it. With only 9 rooms and so many little alcoves and terraces, we hardly saw another guest during our stay, so it almost felt like we were the only ones there! Our room was large, with lovely views over the courtyard. The bed was very comfortable and was remade beautifully every day of our stay. On arrival we were given milk, dates and green tea, a customary welcome, and a super useful map as well as advice on what to and not to do in Marrakech. They arranged our airport transfers each way and gave us a little pack with fruit and cake for our journey home! We will most definitely return to Riad Kaiss!

Riad Kaiss has a good location in the Medina : no chance to be lost. Typical Riad: oasis of peace,superb view, colorfull tiles, many steps, trees, … Spacious rooms with history, comfortable and quiet. The collaborators are friendly and helpfull. Typical good morrocan breakfast. Fine dining. Recommended.

What a wonderful riad! Oulaya checked us in and we had a lovely stay. She was a fantastic host. The food, both breakfast and dinner, were excellent. The staff was super friendly an accommodating. They were kind enough to not only arrange but meet us at our taxi and walk our luggage through the medina to the riad. It's very close to the main square and you can navigate to and from pretty well once you get your feet wet. The hammam was also lovely here. We had a suite with a private terrace but the entire grounds were just gorgeous, tranquil, and the turtles were a nice touch. 10/10 would stay here again.

We were so taken care of at Riad Kaiss. The staff were extremely helpful and gave us lots of great recommendations to ensure our safety and improve our experience. The Riad itself was beautiful and breakfast was great. They hooked us up with a great driver named Yaseen who showed us the best local spots for shopping and food.

I have been coming to Morocco now for over 10 years and always stay at a dar anika boutique hotel. I find the experience more authentic than going to one of the large resorts outside the medina. Here everything is on your doorstep, literally, and you can combine the hustle and bustle of the souk with the peaceful calm of these riads. This holiday we stayed at riad kaiss, a beautiful former Palace, renovated to a high standard with exceptional eye for detail. The staff speak good English and nothing is too much trouble to ensure you enjoy your holiday. They recommend all the best places to go and arrange private transport and book any activities you may wish to experience. The breakfast is amazing we loved the homemade yoghurt and breads. The terrace is secluded with the benefit of a rooftop pool, essential to cool down in the hot afternoon. From the moment you arrive everyone knows your name, giving the place a real family feel. A home from home, I personally wouldn't stay anywhere else!

The hotel was beautiful and clean, all the staff were nice and very helpful, there are many spaces to sit or have a drink the pool was off to the side and felt more private. The hotel is right next to the souk and restaurants, in the downstairs court yard there are many friendly tortoises that you can pick up and pet. The food and drink at the hotel was amazing every time. The beds were clean and comfortable. Once we arrived one of the staff members took us round the hotel explaining where everything is. All in all a perfect hotel ,couldn’t be any better.

Riad Kaiss by Anika is an enchanting venue. Their staff and services are exceptional. From the moment you walk in you smell roses and hear the birds sing. You are greeted in the most welcoming way and offered milk, tea, and fruit. You feel like royalty in this Riad. It's a hidden peaceful oasis from the external excitement. The knowledgeable receptionists will provide you with information and a map for when you're ready to explore and have an adventure. I recommend it as a solo traveler and, because it's so aesthetically romantic, I would also highly recommend it to couples. Without a question I will return for a longer stay.

We had such a perfect stay at Riad Kaiss and I hope to return some day! The riad is so beautiful, with amazing architecture, clever design touches and birdsong filling the air - a real haven from the busy souks! But what really makes this place is the staff, who were without fail so welcoming, polite, helpful and friendly. They all really went above and beyond to make our stay amazing, the service here is second to none, and the small touches like giving us a packed lunch when we left were just so thoughtful. Thanks Riad Kaiss team, you're brilliant!
