Douar Khalifa Ben Mbarek Holidays

Truly enjoyed our experience at Riad Ekla! Not only was it beautiful, it was also relaxing. The area is perfect, it was in the medina but more on a quiet side. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Loved the breakfast. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Well located and easy to access

The service given in this Road was nothing short of exceptional. From arranging airport transfers to dinner and trip recommendations. Ahmed, the main man, looked after every need meticulously. He provided a data loaded smart phone to ensure we could navigate the surrounding areas to car parks and medina ( the only downside to this trip was navigating the way to ad from the hotel through a rabbit warren of alleyways) Ahmed provided what can only be described as 5 star service during our stay but in particular when serving breakfast and the occasional evening meal we had on site. In addition, Khalid, and the other staff were also extremely helpful and could not do enough for you. So, apart from the slightly anxious (to begin with) episodes of walking to and from the hotel, a superb place to stay.

Upon arrival from the airport, there is a 5 min walk via a market and cobble floor to the Riad. As our taxi was arranged via the Riad, they had arranged for a baggage transporter man (unaware to us). The baggage transporter man expected a tip however we we're yet to withdraw local currency and no ATM was nearby so we ended up giving a much larger dedomination in USD. For a Riad of this standard, you would expect the Riad to just charge extra during booking so the tip is included and avoiding these inconviences. Breakfast: Local breakfast served consisting of local breads and spreads. No cereals, eggs etc. We also experienced delays with being served, waiting almost 45 minutes. Location: The location is very good, walkable distance to all the souks. We found it safe during day and night.
