Riad Assakina

The proprietors were so helpful and kind. Excellent breakfast. Very comfortable beds. Riad is charming and peaceful luxury.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A Truly Unforgettable Riad Experience Grant and Michelle are exceptional hosts — warm, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to making every guest feel at home. The food was consistently delicious, and our beautifully decorated room was thoughtfully appointed with everything we could need.

The property was beautiful - located in a lovely, quite part of the medina. Upon entering, we found ourselves in an oasis of serenity. Our hosts, Michele and Grant, along with their staff made us feel welcome, pampered and cared for. They were utterly delightful and made our stay special and fun. Michelle and Grant offered us much appreciated guidance in terms of restaurants, shopping, places to see and things to do. We loved our stay and will definitely go back. Nothing.

Grant and Michelle are the most welcoming hosts. The Riad is stunningly beautiful. The breakfast and afternoon tea/cake, Yum!!

Of the many riad options in Marrakech, I’m so glad I chose Riad Assakina. Tucked into a quiet corner of the Mellah, stepping through its doors feels like leaving the bustle of the city behind and entering a peaceful haven. I stayed five nights in a beautiful suite with gorgeous traditional décor. As this was my first experience in a riad—a traditional Moroccan home built around a garden courtyard—Michelle and her wonderful staff made it truly memorable. Marrakech can feel busy and chaotic, and Michelle went out of her way to make sure I felt confident navigating the city. Each morning began with breakfast in a lovely courtyard setting surrounded by traditional décor that constantly reminded me, “Wow, I’m in Morocco.” Many of the staff have been with Michelle for years, which speaks volumes about the warmth and care behind the scenes. The location is ideal—close enough to walk everywhere, yet peacefully removed from the intensity of the main square and medina. A perfect Marrakech stay. WIFI could have been better

Nothing…all was great.

Large suite, imaginatively and well designed, cool, with all one could want for a stay in a Road in Marrakech

The Ryad is perfectly situated right next to the Bahia Palace and conveniently close to El Badi, the Saadian tombs and the newly opened MAP museum - each a must see in Marrakech. As you step through the narrow gate, you are greeted by an oasis of tranquility and exquisite Moroccan style decor, where every detail has been thoughtfully selected by our gracious host, Michelle. The rooms on the first floor are spacious and beautifully adorned with local furniture, artwork, and upholstery. The beds are large and super comfortable, featuring luxurious linen bedding. Michelle warmly welcomed us with tea and provided invaluable guidance, tips, and a map that became my trusty companion throughout our stay, filled with plenty of spots to visit and restaurants recommendations. The staff, especially Hicham and Nawal, are dedicated to ensuring your well being and are always ready to assist. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Hicham who shared insights into Moroccan history. Breakfast was a delightful start of the day with fresh fruit salad, orange juice, and a wid selection of eggs, French toast (best ever tasted) and breads. In the late afternoon, we enjoyed complimentary tea and cake on the rooftop. What truly made our stay special was our interaction with Michelle, who offered countless pieces of advice, suggestions and ideas to enhance our time in Marrakech. She was incredibly attentive to our needs and we were always captivated by her amazing stories about the Ryad and her 20 years of experience in Marrakech. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and wholeheartedly recommend this Ryad to anyone looking to experience the charm of Marrakech in the medina.

Exceptional support from the owner, Michelle, who helped to organise us after a busy few days before we arrived. A real refuge from the hustle & bustle of the Medina. Great care & attention from the team who did everything to make our stay memorable. Characterful & carefully re-designed riad with space for all guests to enjoy the facilities. Excellent breakfast choice. Hope to be back & highly recommend.

Michele and Grant were fabulous and gave us lots of options to explore and made reservations for us at some wonderful restaurants. Everything was wonderful.

We had such a lovely stay at Riad Assakina. The location was perfect – less than ten minutes to the main square, and the walk there is an experience in itself, full of life, street food, market stalls, and loads of atmosphere. The Rhiad itself was beautifully restored by the current owners (they have a photo book of the before and after) and it felt like a real haven to come back to after a day exploring the city. We had a beautiful room on the ground floor with high ceilings. The furniture was really tasteful and the bed was so comfy. The breakfast was fruit to start and a basket of breads and jams with a choice of eggs, pancakes and teas and coffees. I was stuffed and it sets you up for the day. We were also treated to complimentary mint tea and cakes, which was such a nice touch after a day of sightseeing. Like coming home to your grandma's and being looked after! Grant and Michele, were absolutely amazing – full of great advice, and always happy to help with anything from booking taxis to recommending places to eat. On the first evening we had a restaurant booked for us and one of their lovely staff walked us to the square to show us where it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay – would 100% recommend and I would love to go back. It was all great. Can't think of anything other than I wish I had stayed longer than 3 nights. Maybe a trip to the mountains or coast.

Wonderful stay! Grant and Michele are very devoted to creating the most comfortable and enjoyable guest experience. From a delightful breakfast to a list of recommendations to transportation arrangements to a daily coffee and cake break, they make you feel like (well loved) family. Beds very comfortable and room clean. I would be a little careful walking home past 10 if you’re a solo traveller and opt for a taxi instead.

If we could give this a 15 we would heartily do so. We often travel for work; this is one of the best hotels either of us have ever stayed at. Michele and Grant are absolutely wonderful hosts; their knowledge, service, compassion and dedication makes this experience special Everything was wonderful

Riad was beautiful, Michelle & Grant were very helpful with directions & booking restaurants. The staff were amazing & went above & beyond to make our stay special. The Riad was very peaceful but very close to everything we wanted to see. Can't really find any faults

Cleanliness; staff, owners, location, pool, their homemade cakes , their morrocan morning eggs, their delicious sans sugar mint tea— all of it !

It is perfect! Michele and Grant make this place very special Nothing

Superb service, how hospitality should be done. From the minute we walked in, we were made so welcome. Michele is a font of knowledge and took the time to talk us through tips and recommendations for our stay, it made all the difference to our holiday. Grant, Michele and the whole team are fabulous hosts.
