Perfection!
This Riad was fantastic, they organised an airport pick up for an additional fee which I would recommend! The Riad itself is beautiful and ideally located, the service was awesome and that rooftop was the perfect space to chill. Definitely recommend

A lovely peaceful oasis smack dab in the middle of the crazy chaos of Marrakech. Yvan, both Ishmaels and the rest of the staff were constantly one step ahead of our needs. Upon arrival, we received a comprehensive orientation, including restaurant recommendations and a map of the city with lots of detailed notes. They served delicious breakfasts in the courtyard. They brought us beer, wine and snacks on the rooftop patio. They catered to our every whim....booking excursions, guides, airport shuttles and transportation. The authentic Moroccan decor is gorgeous. Even 'Cila, the housecat, was delightful. Can't say enough.... fantastic stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Une très beau séjour dans ce Riad
Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits dans le Riad Ecila. En plein cœur de la Médina et à deux pas de la place des épices, ce Riad offre une réelle immersion dans la Medina, les hôtes sont adorables et aux petits soins, le petit déjeuner est très copieux et d’excellents restaurants aux alentours. Les chambres ne sont pas immenses mais offre tout le confort nécessaire. La piscine permet de se rafraîchir après les balades c’est un vrai plus ainsi que le toit pour se relaxer en fin de journée. Bref un très bon rapport qualité prix

U srcu Marrakesha
Sjajan domaćin, spreman pomoći savjetima. Besprijekorno čisto uz svakodnevno održavanje. Odlična lokacija u srcu Medine. Dobra mjesta za jelo u blizini, kao i tržnica sa začinima. Već nakon prvog polaganog nalaženja Riada smo se odlično snalazili po centru.
