Highly recommended Riad
Very nice and cosy Riad. Great breakfasts and good wifi! Small pool on the roof for those days when it gets really warm, great if you have younger children. Superfriendly staff!

Amazing stay!!
This Riad was an amazing stay. The service was amazing - Abdul greeted us when we first arrived with Moroccan tea and gave us some great tourist places to go to! The Riad itself is quite hard to find (especially if arriving in the dark) but we managed it eventually. It is a close enough walk to the hustle and bustle of the Medina markets but feels so quiet when at the Riad.

Latina and abdouel (night manager) were amazing. The morning breakfast was really good. Room was large and accommodated four adults well. Finding the Riad was a bit difficult at first-great location.

Hidden Paradise. But the staff are the real gems.
It's a hidden paradise in a fantastic location in the heart of Marrakech. The place is beautiful but what makes it are the staff from Samir who gave us all the information we needed and made himself very accessible, organising transport to the airport, giving us the best prices for things and arranging camel riding. Then there is Abdul, a Berber who was keen to teach anyone about the local language and culture, is always keen to help out and cooks the best tagine, morrocan salad and croquettes that you will have while in Morocco.

Riad Swaka was absolutely incredible! We arrived quite late and were able to add an evening meal to our booking which was absolutely delicious. We were given such a warm welcome by Abdoul and Samir, who were always available to help us with recommendations and Arabic lessons! It was like being welcomed by family and we can’t wait to return. I would recommend this riad to everyone; it is right in the heart of the action, but is absolutely peaceful and quiet and just the most beautiful place.

Amazing stay in the heart of Marrakech
It’s a beautiful little Riad in a great location in Medina. The staff are amazing people and very helpful. We dealt with Samira, Mohamed, and Abdul. They were very helpful and accommodating. It made our stay very enjoyable. The rooftop is also nice to sit for breakfast and enjoy the sunshine. The mattresses are a little bit too hard for my liking, but everything else was great. Make sure you get in touch with them before for directions, or else it could be quite tricky to find for a first timer to Marrakech.

Perfect Riad fo quiet location and pool relaxation
This Riad is great for relaxation. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood, walking distance to everything in the Medina of interest. I would stay in this neighbourhood again vs. staying in the middle of the Medina. We traveled in December and were in need of getting some sunny time, which was possible with the rooftop lounge chairs and the pool. Breakfast is great. The Riad staff is fantastic, very helpful. Before arrival call the Riad for pickup at the nearest parking, and someone will come by foot and pick you up. Otherwise the Riad is difficult to find in the small streets the first time.

Tranquility and excellent hospitality!
Our stay at Riad Swaka was absolutely wonderful. The room was clean, well decorated, and extremely quiet. We had our best nights sleep in ages there. As it’s situated in the old city, finding it initially through the mazy streets was slightly tricky. If you call ahead, they will send someone to meet you and guide you to the Riad. Samir was an excellent host and provided us with hospitality which was way above and beyond. For instance my stomach was playing up one evening so he cut some rosemary from the terrace garden to make a tea and it really did help. He also made an excellent breakfast which we enjoyed on the roof terrace overlooking Bahia Palace in the morning sun. Although we were only there for a couple of nights, we wished it was for longer and will be looking to stay here again on our next visit to Marrakech.

First time in Morocco, loved Riad Swaka
The staff was amazing, anything you needed someone was there to assist. Would have loved to have known about ordering dinner in the morning before we arrived, as it was too late to order for that night and after 20 hour trip to arrive, we were too tired to try and explore food options. This Riad is nice and quiet, but requires a short walk through winding paths to get to anywhere to get food or anything else. Riad should also put something on confirmation telling future guests that taxi cannot drop at th door. We ended up paying a cab which circled around trying to find it before the cab driver loaded our bags into a hand cart that another person pushed through the maze with us following on foot to the Riad. It makes a funny story, but two sleep deprived tourists were not amused when it happened. So more information on how to arrive, and possible the suggestion to allow a dinner reservation in advance of the check in would make the visit perfect. That said, the food was wonderful! I loved my cooking lesson with Zahera. Put that on the website as well!

Fin riad med god beliggenhed
Skøn lille riad med dejlig tagterrasse ind mod Bahia Palace. Værelset føltes meget tæt ind mod fællesområdet da de øverste vinduer ikke kunne lukkes med skodder men det forstyrrede ikke søvnen og folk kunne ikke kigge ind. Meget venligt personale og god morgenmad. God beliggenhed tæt på Jemma el fnaa men samtidig roligt område uden larm.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Riad infesté de punaises de lit. J’y ai passé une seule nuit sur les 5 payées car le Riad est complet et la seule solution trouvée par le propriétaire est de me faire dormir sur une banquette sur la terrasse du toit. Il refuse de me rembourser les nuits non passées sur place et me confisque la clé de ma chambre et m’interdit l’accès au Riad sans aucune autre solution de logement. Obligée de porter plainte à la police qui décide de fermer ce Riad pour cause d’hygiène déplorable et de non respect des touristes. Fuyez!!!

Nous avons été très bien reçus au Riad Swaka qui est idéalement placé à environ 15 minutes de la place et 2 min du palais Bahia. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et le repas du soir, discuté le matin avec la cuisinière est très bon aussi. Merci à Lotfi et Samir pour le soin qu ils apportent à leurs clients, pour leur disponibilité et leurs bons conseils. Nous recommandons cet endroit.

Me and my partner really enjoyed ourselves in this fantastic Riad. my partner and I never been to Marrakech before and didn't know what to expect. We both loved it and all staff in the hotel were all so helpful and recommend places for us to go. The owner helped us get a traditional hamman and a trip to the waterfall. I would highly recommend this place as you'll feel so welcomed!
