Riad Dar Anika

Rooms : 10 | Service : 10 | Location: 10 My wife and I had an exceptional experience at Riad Dar Anika. From the moment we arrived, the level of customer service was outstanding. The team is incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, always attentive and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. The riad itself is beautiful, impeccably clean, and very well maintained. Spending New Year’s here was an absolute joy, and it truly elevated our time in Marrakech. The staff assisted us with restaurant and activity reservations, shared valuable advice on navigating the city, and made us feel completely at home throughout our stay. Thanks to their hospitality and guidance, our experience in Marrakech was unforgettable. I can confidently say we would not have enjoyed the city as much without staying here. I highly recommend Riad Dar Anika to any traveler looking to fully enjoy life, culture, and comfort in Marrakech.

This is a quiet location, but very accessible by car, which is good for drop offs and pick ups, far more so than many other riads in the medina. Bear this in mind, particularly if you have an early flight. It is easy to walk from here into the main part of the city, although the most straightforward route might not be suitable for the elderly, the disabled and small children, owing to narrow areas in the city walls, though which traffic flows. Also worth noting are two Barid Bank ATMs, within an easy walk - these are the ones which don't add additional charges for non-customers.||There was a very peaceful relaxed atmosphere, and the staff genuinely all appeared to enjoy working there. I found everybody friendly and helpful. ||The room was very spacious, and was replenished with dates, biscuits and fruit every day, and importantly, with bottled water. In addition to the foods placed in the room, breakfast was excellent, with variations each day, and was one of the highlights. Staff got my breakfast ready early on my departure day, which was much appreciated. There are also complimentary afternoon snacks, which were also very tasty. ||I felt the experience overall was very good value for money, no complaints whatsoever there. Very clean place, with a lot of pride taken. ||Some minor street noise, but nothing serious. Airport transfers and the usual help with restaurants and guides etc are also available.

Absolutely Exceptional — One of the Best Stays in All My World Travels Riad Dar Anika completely exceeded my expectations, and that says a lot because I travel around the world frequently. This is not just a hotel — it’s a grand traditional home transformed into a luxurious, intimate riad experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt like honored guests rather than customers. Fatima and Manal were simply extraordinary. Their hospitality is on another level — warm, sincere, and incredibly attentive. They welcomed us with a cup of traditional Moroccan ghawa and gave us a full, thoughtful briefing about the city and the riad. Any reservation we needed — restaurants, hammam, tours — they handled immediately and perfectly. Whatever you want, they make it happen with a smile. Staying here truly felt like living in our own private villa with dedicated staff. Breakfast was excellent, and tea and coffee were available anytime. The rooms were comfortable, beautifully decorated, and full of authentic Moroccan charm. And the location is unbeatable — right in the heart of the old city, steps away from the entrances to the bazaars and the main attractions. You can walk everywhere. As someone who has stayed in countless hotels across many countries, I can confidently say that Riad Dar Anika stands out as one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. ✔️ Exceptional staff ✔️ Perfect central location ✔️ Beautiful, authentic setting ✔️ Comfortable rooms ✔️ Five-star personalized service I absolutely loved this place. If you want a truly unique, warm, and unforgettable Marrakech experience, Riad Dar Anika is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

I’ve stayed in a riad in Marrakesh previously, so this is an objective review. Dar Anika has some good points; the location is excellent, close enough to walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks, yet near a main road where taxis can reach easily. The staff were genuinely lovely and always happy to help, and the free bottled water and welcome biscuits were a thoughtful touch. However, a few things let it down. Our room (Room 7) was on the ground floor next to an area used by housekeeping, so it was quite noisy all day. You could also hear plumbing and footsteps from upstairs (every toilet flush, every shower). The fridge didn’t work even when turned up so I unplugged it as it was noisy, the safe wasn’t fixed to the wall, and there was very little space in the bathroom for toiletries. The wardrobes felt a bit tired, and the mats on the floor could use a refresh. There was no natural light as the window faced into reception and was blocked for privacy. The rooftop “pool” is actually a small jacuzzi, and it was empty during our stay even though it was high season. The staff would probably arrange to fill this but in fairness we didn't ask. Check-in took quite a while, which was frustrating after travelling. Overall, it’s an OK riad with great staff and a convenient location, but it didn’t feel as relaxing or well-kept as others I’ve stayed in. I’d probably look elsewhere next time.

A perfect riad in the heart of Marrakech – my favourite of all||Dar Anika is my absolute favourite riad I’ve stayed in. It’s small, elegant, and right in the centre of the Medina, truly the best location in Marrakech. You step outside and you’re surrounded by all the colour, sound, and life of the Medina, yet the moment you walk back through those beautiful old doors it feels like you’ve entered another world…calm, quiet, and full of charm.||It only has a few rooms, which makes it feel so personal and exclusive, almost as if the whole riad is yours. It’s very authentic yet luxurious at the same time, the perfect balance of tradition and comfort. The rooftop bar is wonderful, like stepping into a little French bistro. It’s perfect for afternoon Moroccan tea and dates or a relaxed drink in the sun or shade, with views over the lively Medina; chaotic, colourful, and fascinating to watch from above.||Breakfast is another highlight, with freshly squeezed orange juice, great coffee and a selection of warm pastries and crêpes. Everything feels homemade and generous. The staff are exceptional, welcoming and always happy to help with anything you need, from transfers to restaurant suggestions.||They also recommended visiting The Secret Garden, just a few minutes’ walk away in the centre of the Medina. It’s an absolute must — another little oasis and a magical find. I’m so glad we went.||Dar Anika has a warmth and intimacy that’s truly special. It captures everything that makes Marrakech magical, and I honestly can’t wait to return.

I had a wonderful time at Riad Dar Anika. The staff were super friendly and always made me feel welcome. The riad is beautiful, very clean, and full of authentic Moroccan charm. The location is perfect — just a few minutes’ walk from the main square and the souks, which made it easy to explore the city. I also loved the breakfast and the calm atmosphere inside the riad after busy days in Marrakech. I would definitely come back!

Simply perfect.|Location top easy to find, and to reach, in the middle of the medina. Really close to many of the most popular attaction.|The staff was kind, prepered and helpfull from the begining of the stay till the very end.|Clean Rooms great breakfast.|Didn’t have the chance to try the hammam but we will next time.|Maybe the wi-fi might be slow in the rooms but not a big deal.|What else to say, they help us making great memories of our first trip to Marrakech, and if will be back it’s thanks to them too.

Highly recommended! Everyone was very welcoming and helpful and the location is brilliant for a first-time visitor to Marrakesh. It is easy to get a taxi or be dropped off just outside the Riad, you are a five minute walk in a straight line to the main square and several of the other key sites to visit are less than a five minute walk, including the Bahia Palace. The beds are comfortable and the rooms a perfect temperature. The traditional design of the building with inward facing rooms ensures quiet calm despite the bustling streets outside.
