Our stay exceeded our expectations. Coming from riad stays in Fes and Marrakech, we kind of expected the usuals from this riad, despite it being on the pricier side. Once we checked-in did we then realise why it was so. It came with the stuff that you would actually get from a hotel - bath robes, slippers, capsule coffee machine and a fridge.. They also provided complimentary water and sparkling water. The bath tub was also large and they provided bath salt.

I spent a wonderful week at Riad Malaïka. The riad is absolutely beautiful – every detail is carefully thought out. There is even a fireplace downstairs that creates a cosy warmth at breakfast or during dinner. My room was very clean, with a very comfortable bed, excellent high-quality bed linen and towels, and daily housekeeping. For the cooler nights, which are typical in Morocco, there was also a large, warm blanket and an electric heater, which I really appreciated. The little street where the riad is located is very well lit, so it feels pleasant and safe to walk back to the riad even in the evening. Most importantly, the people who work there make this place truly special. I felt very safe, well looked after and genuinely cared for, especially by the manager Abdullah. I also want to mention another member of the staff – a tall, slim gentleman whose name I unfortunately did not remember – who was always kind, helpful and attentive. I would be delighted to come back to Riad Malaïka one day.
