Cons -
- Nothing that I did not like, the only difficulty is the location. Its a little far in the Medina, you have to walk a lot and in the beginning its scary.
- It was challenging to find late at night when we arrived. We got lost trying to find our way the second night
- Room was a bit dark. No AC or fan.

Great location near Jemaa El Fnaa. Beautiful old Riad with nice courtyard. Rahim took extra good care of us thru our 4 day stay. Food was fantastic!
The staff were amazing! They were attentive and always helpful! Abdul took great care of us, greeting us and then walking us to our taxi when it was time to leave. Abdul and Azudin and Rahim were also so attentive throughout our stay. It is a beautiful riad, a relaxing place to stay!

The location within the Medina and the beautiful riad itself. The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and ensure we enjoyed our stay.
Riad Ilayka is absolutely beautiful. The moment you walk through the door it is a peaceful oasis. It is a gem in the Medina. Our room was the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern conveniences. We utilized their shuttle service from the airport and were met outside the Medina and escorted to the riad. We enjoyed a refreshing beverage upon our arrival and a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff are exceptional and helped me tremendously with locating quality vendors in town. Their friendliness and innate hospitality made our trip so much more memorable.
Beautiful, luxurious
Room was a bit dark. No AC or fan.
The staff is exceptional and very thoughtful. The terraces and garden/fountain are a welcome refuge from the craziness of the Medina outside. We also very much appreciated the welcome drink, snacks and amazing breakfast.
The ground floor riad rooms are very dim, especially the shower area and there are some issues with smells from the drains that are hard to mask though Ilayka has put room incense in the bathroom. Also the bed is not very comfortable for the price point.
Super staff, clean room, beautiful riad, what we need :)
Everything!! From the staff, the welcome, the Moroccan decor, the patio, terraces and serenity of the place it was perfect.
Extremely nice and welcoming staff! One downside is that there are no locks on the door! Seems like an honor system. There were no keys or any way to secure all your things. Although there was a safe in the closet.
Very central which was perfect. The staff, especially Abdul, were fantastic. The room, garden and roof terrace were delightful.
Azzedine, Khadija and the rest of the staff have just been fantastic before, during and after our stay. Smiling and ready to help at all times, we were welcomed with a fruit juice and some traditional pastries. The Riad itself is a jewel, it's spacious, green, beautiful and very quiet from the streets' noises. The breakfast is very good if you are a sweet tooth. We would clearly repeat our stay there.
Our room on the ground floor was very spacious and cozy, but if guests use the stairs with suitcases, we could hear them. Same topic, around the noise, thanks to the nice trees in the patio, we could hear the birds at sunrise :)
The only downside was the room was dark and being in ground floor I had to keep the shutters closed.
Staff were exceptionally charming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Lovely, peaceful, traditional Riad.
Great location
The only problem was the building work next door to our room which started at 8am the noise was horrible
Lived up to the reviews, lovely quiet location which allowed us to dip into the medina and come back for a rest. Staff are lovely and very helpful. They meet you from the transfer from the airport and walk you to the Riad its tucked away. They serve alcohol and breakfast was very good.
Authentic, beautifully decorated ,charming staff, excellent care, lovely rooms and outside areas everything we could have hoped for in a Riad
The reception room was a little somber. Would have liked the plunge pool to be operating ( I suspect it was too early in the season)
Fantastic location, just minutes from the Souks. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Little oasis of calm after the Souks.
The roomI just liked itAz and the staff were excellent
The location was a bit hard to find but if we had been there longer we would have been there we would have got used to it
