Graceful oasis in Marrakech
I read the reviews for this riad and decided to book it thinking that it was perhaps overrated. Please read all the previous reviews! All of them are telling the truth! Giles and his team are the best, most caring and wonderful people there could be! There is such a vibe when you walk in! They are softly spoken, very hospitable and caring without being pushy and they really look after you. My luggage was lost (then delivered the following day) but it didn’t bother me at all. Giles gave me a toothbrush and toothpaste and suddenly there was no stress at all. I even had slippers! The bedroom was gorgeous with good pillows, good linen, great air conditioning and fan facilities and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was also great with a very powerful shower, bathrobe and toiletries. The WiFi was as powerful as the ones you get back home. Breakfast was stunning with homemade jams, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice, Moroccan pancakes and even eggs if you want. The coffee couldn’t get any better. Although it is only a few yards from a small souk, the place is calm, quiet and you can’t hear a thing from the outside world. Even coming back at night, be assured that it is a very secure place and there’s even a security booth just outside, with a security guard , not that you need it but just for reassurance. I have been to Marrakesh many times and this was not my last one. I am certain I will be seeing Giles and his lovely “family” again as I won’t go anywhere else. Thank you very much

This was an excellent place to stay if you're visiting Marrakesh. Gilles, the owner, lives here and is such a special person. He was full of knowledge, and if every place we stayed offered this many amenities, I wouldn't need to pack nearly as heavy. The garden area is beautiful, the rooms are large and comfortable. Two settings for the shower; shampoo, conditioner, body wash, argan oil, q-tips and cotten swabs all included, along with loofas. He offers a map, advice and wonderful conversation -- this is such a wonderful place to spend your holiday. I am celiac and he went out of his way to get me some gluten free bread for breakfast. We couldn't have chosen a better home away from home.

Giles and the staff were excellent hosts. The breakfast consisted of fresh breads, homemade jams, eggs made to order. The room was a nice size and clean. The only thing was having to wait get into the property whilst someone opened the door as kept feeling like I was disturbing the staff. I would 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.

Best Riad! Gilles is the most graceful host and will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and filling, the beds were clean and comfortable, clean hot showers, and even beauty products and bathrobes to make your stay feel luxurious. I would recommend this Riad to friends and family

It’s great as Gilles was always around to help. His prep work to have multi adaptors available in the room and provide freshly made breakfast and gave a tagine souvenir at the end of the stay were very thoughtful and sweet.

Arrived Early to the Riad and was welcomed with some tea and biscuits. The staff was really friendly and was always on point. The gentleman who was in charge took the time to sit down with a map and explained the Medina to me and show me the places to consider when traveling through the area!. Explained the traps and snags of being from out of country which was a huge help!. The rooms are spacious and we'll kept also the best shower so far. As for the area the Riad was in it felt safe and secure as there is security in the alley and was close to a main road which you can hail a taxi and close to a excursion office( side shop) to book day trip or cooking classes and such. Wished this Riad was my first one that I had booked when arriving in Marrakesh. Thanks for the warm welcome and the great stay!

Truly amazing service.
We only stayed one night but Giles and the team made us feel very welcome. We had amazing home made breads and jams for breakfast and got some good recommendation on food from them. I stupidly left my watch behind (an early flight), Giles went out of his way and paid another UK based guest to take it home with them and gave them the money to post it to me. That is great service, he has also refused to accept money from me in return. What a nice man! Can’t recommend this service enough.

Typical Riad in design with wonderful Moroccan architecture, down a very safe street with security, next to two amazing spa's and the palace for good reference points for taxi's and tour guides! The whole team Ghizlane, Saïda, Soumia & Gilles were all fantastic, they kept the room and premises clean with a smile, were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was local, fresh and delightful (the homemade jams were my favourite). The room was plentiful big, with a good amount of outlets and a handy spot with USB chargers already in place. The room was equipped with both a fan and aircon unit, in the bathroom was an array. of local soaps and shower gels but most importantly a really great shower (good pressure) and well functioning toilet. I'll be returning to Marrakech and to the Riad Abaca Badra.

This place is beautifully decorated and restored, and well run by Gilles and Dominique. It's an amazingly quiet, restful oasis within the otherwise stimulating Marrakesh medina. Breakfast was lovely, and Gilles was very helpful, even lending us a cell phone pre-programmed with his number in case we got lost or needed help. Located about 10 minute walk from the Jamaa l'fna, and even closer to the souk. Highly recommend!
