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.

The owner of this property will greet you when you arrive and give you a detailed breakdown of the medina in Marrakech as well as a map. He provides very helpful tips on where to go and what to avoid and what the prices are for some of the tourist attractions. He is a native French speaker so it would be good to brush up on your French, but does understand English. I would stay at his riad again if I am back some day. The breakfast he provides is top notch. I enjoyed the fresh juice and mint tea as well as the other items. It is a light breakfast, but enough for me since I am a smaller person. For others with a bigger appetite, a follow up meal in the medina may be desired. Not a big deal since restaurants are relatively cheap for European and American tourists. Marrakech is quite the experience.

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.

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

We stayed here for two nights as a family of 3. This hidden gem is conveniently located and very walkable. The host Gilles spent time to give us detailed information about how to navigate to the main sights, including details on prices for the main attractions! Although we did hire a private tour guide, we were able to use the information to do a bit more sightseeing on our own. The room itself is spacious and clean. The two large closets were great for storing all our luggages. The Riad also has a spacious game area with lots of books and board games. There is no TV (my son was disappointed but which is not a bad thing from my point of view) or refrigerator, but they do provide free water and tea. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which was mostly homemade (including yogurt). My son really liked their hot chocolate. We would love to come back again and definitely would love to try out the home cooked dinner!

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 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

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
