Reviews
Had a great stay with Riad Ekla/ Lalla Azalay. It is a clean, quiet and a hidden gem. Youssef provided great reccomendations for local shopping and dining. He even introduced us to the local cats!
We had a great stay at Riad Ekla. The staff was very nice, especially Amine, who helped us a lot with explanations, guided us along the way, and was overall a very pleasant and friendly person. The riad was beautiful, and we really enjoyed the terrace. Breakfast was good, and the location is close to the main attractions, which made it easy to get around. The only thing to note is that the streets and neighborhood around the property can feel a little chaotic, but once inside, everything was wonderful.
Lovely Riad - great location Riad Ekla is in a great location, a few minutes walk from the main areas. Our room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was excellent - slight variations each day and always served with a smile. We ate dinner on our first night but took advantage of the many places nearby on other evenings. All of the staff are lovely - friendly, welcoming and helpful if we had any questions. The Riad kindly arranged airport transfers - and as the building is off the main road, sent someone to meet us.
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Riad Ekla earlier this month. The riad itself is so beautiful, with a stunning mosaic pool area that was a perfect place to retreat back to after exploring the craziness of the medina. Our room was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. The rooftop terrace made for a lovely place to enjoy breakfast each morning too. Location wise, we were very happy. It is well situated with shops and restaurants very nearby, but most importantly, felt very safe. It is in an easy location to navigate back to so we never felt lost either. Nonetheless, the staff very kindly would escort us to the main road each time we had booked a car or taxi, which was kind of them. Speaking of staff, the team at Riad Ekla are what sets it apart from the other beautiful riads in the city. I’d like to particularly thank the manager Fakkharadine and the Moustaphas (Breakfast Moustapha and Receptionist Moustapha) for their generosity, warmth, friendliness and hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and would enjoy chatting with you over our stay. Thank you for sharing your recommendations in the city and for going above and beyond every day to ensure we had a special time. I can recommend Riad Ekla highly enough and would encourage everyone to book.
