Very satisfying experience from start to finish. Hajar, the manager welcomes guests with a smile and traditional Moroccan tea, something that being regular visitors to Marrakech, we very much enjoyed. Room was very clean and quiet. Breakfast was excellent and staff in the breakfast room could not be nicer. Location is awesome, very near main square and other must visit places in the city. Very recommendable.

The bathroom, although beautiful, could do with a bit of TLC around the basin, the pipes could be less exposed around the toilet area and the bedlinen, though of great quality, was slightly worn out. However, none of these factors spoiled our experience.

The hotel has a nice ambience with red and wooden accents, and it's situated 5-10 mins walk from many main tourist sites like Jemaa el-Fna market, Bahia Palace, Secret Garden etc. Staff, especially Hajar, Mohamed and Oussama were always there to help, guide, book a tour, and always be polite and smiling. The chef was always making great breakfasts and lunches (prepare yourself to be well fed!) Overall, amazing experience, highly recommend!

Thank you to Mariam and Zouhair for their excellent welcome and help! Such a Lovely and warm people

The price was good and the breakfast was also well served. The employees were always laughing and very funny, I really had some laughs. Room was more than enough for 3 people and we left out luggage while we went on a 3 day tour to Saara desert

I don't have nothing to complain, the only part that wasn't good was to find the location on the first day was a bit hard. But people in the street helped us

The Riad Balkisse has been our home and our point of reference in our trip. We loved the kind ambient and the hospitality of Zouhair, Mariam, Mohamed, Najat and Ghizlan, they have been like our family in Marrakesh, they helped us with the tours that we needed, gave us really good tips and with my allergies they have been so considerated, they prepared special Marrocain sweets and foot for me. We highly recommend the Riad Balkisse, it's a really good place to discover Marrakesh and have a peaceful shelter to rest.

Riad Balkisse is a hidden gem in the heart of Marrakech. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to a world of beauty, tranquility, and comfort. The Riad's traditional Moroccan architecture, with its ornate tilework, lush courtyard, and rooftop terrace, creates a serene atmosphere that makes it easy to forget you're in the middle of a bustling city. The rooms at Riad Balkisse are spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a memorable experience. The breakfast served at the Riad is a highlight, with a delicious selection of Moroccan pastries, fresh fruits, and traditional mint tea. One of the best features of Riad Balkisse is its location. It's situated in the heart of the Medina, within walking distance of many of Marrakech's most famous landmarks, such as the Bahia Palace and the Koutoubia Mosque. Despite its central location, the Riad is tucked away on a quiet side street, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Overall, Riad Balkisse is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a traditional Moroccan experience in the heart of Marrakech. The Riad's beauty, comfort, and excellent location make it the perfect base for exploring all that this vibrant city has to offer.

While Riad Balkisse offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay, there are a few areas where the Riad could improve. Firstly, the Wi-Fi connection can be unreliable and slow, which can be frustrating for guests who need to stay connected. Secondly, the Riad does not have a pool, which may be disappointing for travelers looking to cool off in the hot Moroccan sun. Additionally, some guests have noted that the Riad's breakfast options can be limited and repetitive for longer stays. Finally, the Riad's location, while central, can be a bit difficult to find for first-time visitors, so clearer directions or signage could be helpful.

Excellent location , only 3 minutes from the big Souk The staff were incredible .. extremely nice and helpful They helped me to book a day trip to Ozoud waterfalls. The breakfast was so delicious, specially the traditional Moroccan pastry "Elmesamen" .. I really recommend this place ..mostly I will bring my family again in September

Nothing .. everything was excellent

From the minute we walked in we felt like home. Greeted by Oussama with dinner and wine. He went over details about the Riad and activities that we may enjoy doing. Very informative, welcoming and attentive staff. We met other employees at the Riad, Daris and Zouhir whom each contributed to our trip by guiding, assisting and booking activities for me and my family. The location was excellent and very easy to find.

There is nothing worth complaining about. Overall it was an excellent stay.

The staff here are amazing. I felt so welcomed and cared for. The location is very central but still quiet inside. There are plenty of reasonably priced eateries nearby. The staff will help book you on tours. There is no need to book online. I was happy to call this place home for 12 days.

I didn't love the breakfast but it is typically Morroccan with lots of sugar and bread. Fresh fruit would be a welcome addition. The room was a little cramped. You had to climb over the bed to get into it and the bathroom was also small. Movement compromised people would struggle.

Our stay at Riad Balkisse was exactly as we imagined. This Riad is very close of where all the action happens, but at the same time it's situated on a quiet street and at night, you can't hear the noise or music from Jemaa el-Fnaa market. We have to admit, that Zouhair made our stay incredible. He was there for everything we needed, from advices of where to eat, what to visit, where to find the best prices, etc. He was a pleasant person to talk with, because you can see with your bare eyes that he loves to help others and talk, knows a lot of languages (english, german, italian, spanish, french) so there are no chances to get bored while spending time with him. He made us feel like we were in our home, always careful for our needs and for sure, he makes this Riad better. The place was quiet, breakfast was delicious, the room was clean so there are no subjects we can complain about. Just pay attention if you use Google Maps for getting there, as is doesn't take you where the Riad is. You need to find a small corridor and the Riad is after 20m and then you know you are on the right way. Would totally stay here again next time we are in Marrakech.

Nothing that I can think about.
