I was for the first time in Marrakesh and in Marocco. I booked the Single room by booking.com in Riad Leila. It wasn't very expensive.When I came to the room, I was unpleasantly surprised. The room was very, very small and simple, the bathroom even smaller. The room had no desk, no placard, no mirror, no television, no safe, no fridge or mini bar and no tea/coffee facilities, but had air condition. The bathroom was without hair dryer and with some toileteries.The hotel has no lift.But the most important for me - it was very clean.I spent the night somehow on the very narrow bed.The breakfast next morning was served on the terrace and was real surprise. It was continental with no meat, but with good coffee or tea. It wasn't buffet, but served on the table. It was very tasty and abundant. The orange juice was made of the fresh squeezed fruit.And - above all - the hotel manager and the reception staff - Miss Amal and Miss Meriam - are great, very kind and they listened attentivly my complaint about the Single room.The surprise came on the afternoon. I was upgraded - with no supplement - to the elegant two bed room, where I stayed for another three nights. It was very good experience.I proimised to come back to Marrakesh, to Riad Leila, and to bring my Friends with me.I was served every afternoon - free of charge - coffee or tea and on my last evening all hotel guests were invited on the terrace to the special Ramadan dinner. Very original, very kind and very tasty.

We stayed in 3 different riads this time in Marrakech and Riad Leila was the very best. Friendly welcome, stunning courtyard, clean, warm and attractive room with plenty of hot water. Breakfast on pretty roof terrace was typical Moroccan style breakfast served with smiles. Perfectly quiet at night and a haven of calm during the day. Perfectly located just minutes walk to D'jemaa el Fna. To give you a flavour before you go, please read my novel The Kings in the Kasbah which is a tourist tale set in the old quarter of Marrakech.Have visited the city many times and Riad Leila truly is one of the best places to stay. It will be my riad of choice next time I visit and cannot recommend it highly enough.

We only stayed here for 1 night before flying back home (we stayed already in a different riad previously). The first contact via email was excellent and great responsiveness regarding inquiries for a transfer to the airport (7AM flight).The reception upon arrival was very welcoming. We received bottles of water and Moroccan tea with sweets on the rooftop. The room was good and clean. The riad is very conveniently located near several sights in the medina / kasbah and also for restaurants. It is also reasonably easy to find (we used google maps - offline) as it is just slightly off the ‘road’The only drawback of riads seem to be that there is little noise isolation. This riad has very limited noise from the neighbourhood but it can be a bit noisy if the other guests don’t take this into account. It was no issue after 10PM with the guests present.The airport transfer was arranged as agreed and with no significant issues despite the time (planned 5:00AM departure - actual departure 5:10AM)We enjoyed this riad more than the previous one and would recommend this one also because of the location and the friendly staff.

Everything about this place was perfect. It was a calm oasis in the very middle of the chaotic Marrakech city centre. The staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop is to this day our favorite hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. The hotel is small and consists of only a few rooms.The only negative - no cards accepted, only cash, which is standard in Morocco, but hotels should accept cards or online payment.I will definitely book again when I come back to Marrakech, and you should too!
