Full of character as an authentic Riad, we were met and taken to the Riad to be greeted by Gilles, with a welcome drink and loads of information about the area: where to eat, where the main attractions were, safety aspects; and general tips. Breakfast was generous as part of the accommodation costs. Thank you Gilles Ghizlane, Saïda, Soumia for looking after us so well. We will always have fond memories of our stay at your Riad and without a doubt we would recommend your Riad to future travellers.

My husband & I loved everything about this beautiful Raid, the location is very safe, quiet and only a small walk to the hectic square. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated and Giles and his staff were so friendly and hopefully. Two mornings we had an early start and it was no trouble for them to provide early breakfast which was very delicious. Staying at the Raid is a must when visiting Marrakech.

Pre Christmas in Marrakech

Had the riad pretty much all to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Ideally locally in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk to the souks and 10 minutes walk to the main square.

Perfect stay

We had an amazing stay at this Riad, Gilles and his team was always making sure we had everything we needed, and, traveling with a toddler means you sometime have different needs. The Riad Is so peaceful, the rooms are very spacious and the breakfast was delicious! We ate also dinner there one evening and it was very good as well. We will definitely come back to Marrakech and stay here again.

We had never stayed in a Riad before so it was a new experience. But it was great. Would definitely stay here again. This place is great value and Gilles and the staff are really helpful. Lots of nice touches like slippers and bathrobes. Yes you can find a Riah which is more luxurious, at a cost, but for us it was great

Loved this Riad. Giles was a wonderful host. The breakfast was generous and delicious. Giles gave us some good tips to navigate tourist traps and gave us a great recommendation to buy pottery. We loved this Riad also for the closeness to the key attractions Bacha coffee and Madarsa Ben Youssef. Highly recommend staying here

This was one of the best stays I had! The breakfast was AMAZING and our stay in Morocco was made so much better by our host and the staff here at Abaca Badra. The pickup from the airport was great, and when we arrived we were greeted with tea and an explanation of the areas of Morocco and helpful things to know. The room was equipped with argan oil, lotion, body wash, a blow dryer, robes, everything you could really need. We were able to get henna done at the riad as well which was very convenient! BOOK THIS RIAD!

We had a wonderful stay! The riad owner was incredibly kind and made us feel incredibly safe as two college aged females traveling by ourselves. He and his staff served us a lovely breakfast in the mornings and our room was cleaned each day. The owner gave us many tips about the city in terms of things to see and scams to avoid. The riad was is a convenient location- walkable to everything in the Medina and only a 2 minute walk from the main road where we could get picked up for our excursions. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Gilles was a great host, very friendly and helpful. We were greeted with tea and biscuits, and always asked if we slept ok. Filtered water was great, and the breakfast kept us going for hours. The room was cleaned everyday. It is also a cat free sanctuary in a cat filled city.

Good Riad

2nd stay at the Riah, We stayed for 4 days when we arrived in Marrakesh and one night before our flight. Gilles stored some luggage for us without charge while we toured around Morocco. Rooms as described. Nice extras like slippers, robes hairdryer and lots of toiletries. Never stayed in a Riad and I am pretty certain you can find flashier ones and a much greater cost but if I am in Morocco again I would definitely stay here as it is good value and the food, staff everything in fact is fine

Fantastic place, fantastic owner

What a brilliant Riad, a brilliant experience and a great location. This place is lovely and the charasmatic owner is a star, as are the staff. All wonderfu. The room, the yellow room, was very big with huge bed and a sofa-single. Shower room was great and the home-mixed soaps were beautiful. Very clean and very traditional. The owner woke up early to prepare breakfast for us before 6am, as we were off to the desert. Breakfast was again lovely, with homemade jams, eggs, breads, etc. Highly recommend this Riad, arriving here you immediate know you are in Morocco, a real experience. Free mint tea whenever you like - with homemade biscuits, of course. Hope to come back soon
