Riad Abaca Badra was the best place I have stayed on my one month trip to Europe and Morocco.  The host, Dominique, warmly welcomed me upon arrival and made me feel really at home with his great sense of humor.  His advices were sincere and right on.  One example was how hired drivers receive high commissions from venders on long trips.  I knew this was true because I just paid enormous amount for spices I bought from a government run store on the way to Essaouira.  I wish my previously stayed riad had given me that kind of thoughtful advices.   The room at Anaca Badra was comfortable and spacious.  I will return to Abaca Badra tomorrow if I could.

A Super Riad

This Riad was fabulous! The rooms had so many beautiful details. The decoration was unbelievable. The breakfast was phenomenal (best food we had in Marrakesh). So many flavors and colors and most of it was homemade. The owner was extraordinary with us and made sure we had a pleasant stay. 10/10

Wonderful experience

As many have already stated this Riad is amazing! Gilles and his staff go above and beyond and it really feels like a personal and homely experience staying here. 

Our highlight was the food! The breakfast is amazing with everything homemade (jams, yoghurt, cake) that really sets you up for the day ahead. We loved the yoghurt! We paid for the tasting menu at the Riad when we arrived as we landed in the evening. This was again delicious and meant we didn’t need to find somewhere to eat on arrival when we didn’t know the area yet. You can ask for a traditional Moroccan mint tea at any time too. 

The area for us felt really safe, it is on the edge of the Medina so you are close enough to the hustle and bustle of the Souks but the Riad itself was in a calm and quieter location. It’s also close enough to one of the main roads that you can easily get a taxi, though we walked everywhere. 

As others have stated - Gilles is extremely helpful and will give you advice on where to visit and any other questions you might have. I got henna done at the Riad which was much safer and cheaper than having it done in the main square. If you are looking to buy any Argan oil during your stay - Gilles sells real Argan oil at the Riad for a good price, don’t be tricked into buying fake Argan oil at the Souks like I was!

The rooms have high quality shower gel, shampoo and body lotion with a little Argan oil too. This was ideal for us as we were limited on liquids to bring in our hand luggage.

The rooms have both a ceiling fan and air conditioning. As it is a traditional Riad the rooms stay cool without air conditioning (even in 39 degrees Celsius heat) so we only used it now and again. 

We really hope we will visit again in the future, thank you Riad Abaca Badra!

Home away from home with amazing homemade breakfast

Beautiful riad, beautifully located in a cute neighbourhood on the edge of the Marrakech medina, a mere 10 min walk from the main square. We stayed in a spacious room that was tastefully decorated, with great beds and a huge bathroom. Nice roof terrace and the whole riad is a pleasure for the eye and has been designed with great attention for details and harmony.
Gilles and his staff are the best hosts that one can think of and we felt at home from the start. They served great dinners / breakfasts and gave lots of useful advice + tips to make sure our visit to Marrakech went as smooth as possible.
If you consider visiting Marrakech I recommend to do yourself a favour and to book a few nights here.

Beautiful and very welcoming riad

We absolutely loved staying here! This riad is stunningly beautiful and is full of little luxurious touches, like the lovely toiletries and incredible homemade breakfasts. Gilles is lovely and the most wonderful host - he made us feel absolutely at home! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Incredible stay here!

Gilles, the owner is one of the most kindest person I met running a hospitality business. His Riad is located in a great location and he prepares one of the best breakfast for any traveler.  In addition, he provides reliable taxi to pick you up or drop you off at Airport.  We will be back again.

Excellent Riad

This was an amazing hotel off the beaten path in a great neighborhood 15 minutes from just about anything.  My room was much bigger than you would expect for the price and the hotel itself was perfect,  quiet and luxurious for an incredibly fair price.  A well done breakfast every morning,  tips for the city,  Gilles and his crew went above and beyond in every way.. When I needed help with a spice purchase,  not only did Gilles tell me where to go, but he walked me there to help with the translation,  who does that?? Gilles does.  Plus he was charming and with great wit,  it was fun to talk with him about his town. If I ever come back to Marrakech,  I won't even consider another hotel,  I'd head straight here,  where I felt safe and taken care of. 5 STARS all day everyday!!

Why waste your money anywhere else,  when you get all the amenities and extras of an expensive hotel right here for a great reas

This little riad is a gem right near the city center. Wonderful attention to detail, fantastic breakfasts and a lovely rooftop terrace at a very reasonable price. A charming owner and helpful staff. I highly recommend Abaca Badra and definitely plan on returning in the future.

A fantastic little oasis right near the souks and city center.

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 for the amazing experience!!!

Graceful oasis in the middle of the madness of Marrakesh

We had a simply amazing experience at Riad Abaca Badra, and when we return to Marrakech in the future, we won't stay anywhere else. My husband and I travel quite a lot, and this was such a memorable experience. Absolutely lovely atmosphere, beautiful room, amazing breakfast with homemade treats, delicious tajine dinner, and excellent location. And Gilles and his staff made us feel like part of the family, from chatting with us about our day to serving us mint tea on the lovely terrace. Thank you! We'll be back!  <3
