The Riad Al Moussika, ( www.riyad-al-moussika.com ), where I spent with friends a long weekend at the beginning of our journey to the south of Morocco in early January, is a place that has stopped time, where the magical atmosphere, relives Morocco of Pasha of 1800, but with all the comfort of our century. Everything is perfect, authentic, calm, serene...
I recommend strongly this hotel for its central location, even for the excellent and very professional service provided by the young boys of the staff, always smiling and present without being intrusive.
The chef and owner, Khalid, a nice and helpful big boy, who speaks I do not know how many languages, but among them an excellent Italian that has enabled me to know a world of things about authentic Marrakech, thing impossible otherwise, due to my language limitations, and, most important, who cooks in divine way.
I conclude that the value for money is very good considering that the copious breakfast and the courses haute cuisine lunch, (by far the best of all restaurants in Marrakech and Morocco, where we ate), are included in rate.
Only one regret: Having been there for 4 nights only!- Wanda
Advantages: Good central location, excellent service, food to die for, authenticity Disadvantages: Difficult to book at the last moment

As soon as we declared that our holiday was a celebration of the first anniversary of our first year of shared life, a complimentary bottle of French champagne has been offered to us with the touching wishes of hundred years more of mutual happiness! The hotel is a real gem of Moorish architecture, the suite we had was amazing, with an incredible bath tub in marble, the location is perfect, close to the main square, the souks and the ...

My husband & I stayed at Riad Al Moussika hotel in Marrakech 4 nights at the beginning of our trip to Morocco last month and this has been the highlight of our Moroccan holidays. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was for its location and for the good reviews on Trip Advisor. It is a wonderful place to stay to explore Marrakech, being within walking distance of many of the major attractions of the city. Having such a central location was ... ...main souk for the everlasting negotiations for the inevitable shopping. Our bedroom was excellent with the a very comfortable bed and high quality linen and had the largest bath tubs I have ever seen ! It was so nice to be in a hotel that was full of character and authentically Moroccan, not a modern square room, but still had all the modern luxuries that adds to the comfort of the room.
We had excellent breakfasts and lunches and Khalid, the chef ...
