Guest Ratings & Reviews
The Riad Malika offers a delightful stay with spacious, clean rooms exquisitely decorated in traditional Riad style. The service is warm and accommodating, making guests feel at home. Its location just outside the Medina is ideal for exploring, but still close to key attractions. The dining experience is delicious amid a charming setting. However, a bit more variety in breakfast options would be nice.
The hotel is in a fantastic location for easy access to town and offers a quiet retreat. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and modern amenities, though the glass-ceilinged bathroom might get hot in summer. The staff are laid-back and friendly, making for a relaxed atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring the medina and enjoying a peaceful stay, but still close enough to cab services for convenience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, felt a little on the wrong side of old and tatty rather than unique and charming. However, they were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The service was wonderful, especially from the staff members who were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was very central, making it great to see the sights, but a bit hard to access via car. The dining options were excellent, featuring delicious Moroccan dishes; however, more variety would have been appreciated. Overall, my stay was enjoyable but had some room for improvement.
