My friend and I stayed at the beautiful Riad Assakina in February of 2020. As soon as we walked in, we knew we had made the right choice, as Michelle and Grant immediately offered us tea and cake - what we would soon learn is a daily tradition! The Riad itself is absolutely stunning, with a ton of outdoor space, and our room was also very beautiful. Michelle and Grant were friendly and knowledgable, offering us everything from restaurant recommendations, to tips on where to buy the best Moroccan bowls. I would 100% stay here again if I were back in Marrakech, and would highly recommend it!

We were nervous about booking a Riad within the walls of the 1000 year old city, but this place was an oasis of calm and 5-star comfort but with the traditional Moroccan design. With only 6 rooms, it was like staying as guests in a home. Grant and Michelle are expat Brits who have restored the Riad over the past 12 years with wonderful Moroccan design crafted by artisans that they have hired and art from their world travels. The staff are respectful Moroccans who provide the best of personal service to each guest. The food served was the best we experienced during our trip. The Berber Eggs were our favorite breakfast. Dinners were also offered as an option and the dining was customized for each guest. Grant and Michelle arranged day trips to the best sites with drivers and guides. If you picture visiting your best friend’s home as a houseguest who is given the most careful and courteous service, this is the place for you.

Riad Assakina is one of the best places I have ever stayed. It was everything I was hoping for from a riad and so much more. I honestly cant fault anything. The riad is exquisitely renovated and decorated, the rooms are spotlessly clean, the staff are amazing, the breakfast was fantastic. The standout however was the host, Michele. I have never been made to feel so welcome and been helped so much on a trip. Nothing was too much trouble, and her local knowledge and recommendations on trips and restaurants was so very helpful. Marrakesh isn't always the easiest place to do the tourist thing; the riad was like a home from home. Having travelled globally and visited Marrakesh a number of times, if you want a riad stay in Marrakesh, you honestly won't find a better one.

My partner and I stayed here in March and had a brilliant time. The hosts were excellent, friendly and so helpful, as were all the staff. The breakfast is amazing. The riad itself is just stunning - a perfect little oasis in the heart of Marrakech.

We went to Marrakech for 4 days over the new year and stayed at Riad Assakina. An amazing trip made perfect by the superb hospitality of Michele and Grant and their wonderful staff. Michele has all the insider knowledge which is vital in Marrakech. A superb location and perfect surroundings. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough

My husband & I stayed at the Riad in mid 2018. Because we had such a great stay with Michele & Grant (owners) and of course Zak the first time around we brought our close friends this time to stay for 7 days. Michele, Grant & their team are the best hosts, their patient & provide top notch quality of service, all around.The breakfasts and afternoon tea w/ cake are soooo good, excellently prepared and equal to, if not better, than any 5 star establishment. After a couple of long days, we ordered tapas with wine in the Riad, in lieu of going out for dinner. The tapas were tasty and very reasonably priced. The location is perfect and walking distance to all the must see spots within the Medina & close to the new city. There is so much more to visit than in 2018 and Michele & Grant somehow knew what our interests and recommended & scheduled great day trips outside Marrakesh that were fantastic. Different from other Riads, Michele & Grant live in the Riad so as to give the best quality & personal care to all that stay with them. That makes a big difference from other Riads in the area. Michele & Grant make it easy to come back to Marrakesh and visit again. They make you feel like family.Thank you for a great stay, Maria & Hector

In all my years of world travel, I have never had an experience that compares to the wonderful stay I experienced at Riad Assakina. Michelle and Grant extended such a gracious, warm welcome that I felt like family~ it meant so much because I had arrived solo before my scheduled group tour. Michelle, who is so warm and lovely, arranged an appointment at a beautiful Hammam so I could recover from the long journey. She sat down with me and asked about my interests, then offered me a map of the area with personal recommendations including best bets for vegetarian food. Grant, who has a great sense of humor, escorted me to my appointment to insure I arrived in a timely way. When I returned to the Riad, afternoon tea and delicious cake awaited! Every detail reflected devotion to personalized care. The Riad is stunning~ lovingly restored, this gorgeous property is truly a relaxing oasis close to the Medina and other attractions. Breakfast was exceptional (as were all of our meals); the staff are friendly and attentive. I will most certainly return. Thank you, Michelle, Grant, and Zak for the magical memory~ you are all in my heart!!!
