A very convenient and quiet location, a block from the Jamaa-el-Fna with all its activity, shops, restaurants, street life. Lovely roof-top lounge area for rest, reading, a beer, a chat. Friendly, helpful staff. To help a taxi driver from the train station find Riad Balkisse, tell him it's located just behind the Hopital Riad al Mokha.

Excellent location minutes away from the main square and many other sights. Daily breakfast was delicious and made fresh every morning. Riad itself was very clean. Staff were always available and willing to help. Overall, great stay in Marrakech at Riad Balkisse!

Just spent 7 nights at an amazing Marrakech Riad. It is clean, comfortable, air conditioned and very close to Jamaa El Fnaa (approx. 5 minute walk). Cars cannot get to the front door but our airport transfer AtoB called the Riad and a member of Riad staff met us and helped with the luggage. The riad itself is close to hotel Tazi and close to the hospital Mocha which are a good reference point when using taxis. The Riad is in the medina and close to most of the tourist attractions, main square, medrasa ben Youssef, palace, Koutoubia Mosque and souk.We had three rooms, two doubles and one twin. We were on the first floor and the roof. All rooms were clean, with daily room service and new linen. The rooms were enquire with private bathroom. The only downside is that there was no fridge or tea making facilities in the rooms.The staff were very helpful and helped to organise excursions at a very good price. We had an excursion booked to Essaouira and ouzad waterfalls both were significantly cheaper than others on the same trip. The price matched the cheapest we had obtained ourselves.We had booked bed and breakfast. Breakfast consisted of bread, jam, butter, tea or coffee, orange juice, pastry and mint tea which set us up very nicely for the day.There are no lifts but the stairs are manageable. The location was very good, being less than 5 minutes from cash machines, money exchange and shopping.Riad does meals which we booked on our final day. meal was excellent. Staff were all great and helpful and reception staff spoke good English.

First impressions was a very clean and tidy Riad . Maid service was brilliant and very efficient with the cleaning staff friendly.

I stayed at the Riad for 4 nights - the Riad is clean, all your basic necessities like hot water, clean bathroom, neatly made up room etc, are more than taken care of. Location wise, its pretty close (3 minutes walk) from Djema El Fna which gives you a whole lot of eating options etc. Sukhina and Mustafa and the rest of the team are eager to please - in fact, Sukhina went out of her way to organize a pick up from the Marrakech train station etc.

Nice location 3 minutes from Jemma el-fna. Easy to find with instructions provided. Everyday new towels and bed sheets. Everyday sweet breakfast (different pancake, bread, jam, honey, coffee, cake). Nice atmosphere and clean riad. Good comunication in english. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We got a Marrakech map with some advices. Allways someone from the staff was avalible. I recomend rooms on the higher level. One thing which we don't like was the motorbikes noise in late evening and cleaning person in the early morning everyday, both on 'the street'. But it is not riad fault.

Top Service Thanks to Mohamed & Simo! Enjoyful 3 days at this very LocalTalk Riad. Very clean and quiet rooms. 5 Minute to the Grand bazar . We had the rooms at the teras. Lovely place to relax After a Travel around the City. Lot of greetings from Germany.

Immediately upon arrival we felt like home. The host was super-friendly and welcoming. Explained everything thoroughly and showed us to our room.The room was clean and a good standard. The window was smaller, but we didn’t mind that as we were planning on saying in the room mostly at night, not during the day. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was new, but it was clean and definitely value for the money.The breakfast we received was very tasty and just right in terms of the amount of food.We would definitely recommend this riad as it is on the edge of the Médina, so close to everything but not in the maze of the old town.If you’re in Marrakesh and you’re looking for a home away from home, go for this place!
