Amazing hospitality from Steven and Yasheen, genuinely through the roof and really made to feel at home. Very nice and honest people and couldn’t have asked for anyone nicer. Bedroom was brilliant too, anazing attention to detail.

The Riad offers a wonderful place of calmness and quietness away from the hustle and bustle of the neighbouring Medina. Simple wonderful to return to after a trip out, whether long or short. Steven has created some truly incredible lights, candelabra and other art works and creations that are a delight to find all over the Riad which make it such a very special place. Steven and his team are extremely helpful and do all they can to help in any situation - booking trips, taxis and catering for any dietary needs. Bravo.

That was an amazing stay. Yassine is the most helpfuly guy that we've met. Thanks to him we felt like in home. Riad has beautiful decorations made by Steven - owner of riad. Steven also is a great guy, with many intresting stories. I'm sure that there is no better Riad in Marrakech!

I really enjoyed the affection and sensitivity in which they treated us, I brought them all to my heart.

Steven and Yassine are great hosts! Made our experience in Marrakech really special, always very friendly and helpful with our needs. The whole riad is decorated beautifully with Stevens creations, very cozy feeling.

The hot water pressure was hit and miss, but I imagine this is a city wide problem.

The warm welcome, the comfortable room, breakfast and dinner. Steven and the team are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble.

I couldn't say a bad word about it.

Our stay here was better than we could have dreamed of, the Riad is very comfortable with seating all around. A pool on the ground level with tables and sofas around, a large rooftop with indoor and outdoor seating again with a range of different styles. The entire place is decorated from head to toe with art, largely designed and created by Steven the owner. Clearly a lot of thought was put into the beauty of the Riad. It's located right in the centre of the bustling city so it's never too far a walk to any markets or museums which we frequented. Finally the service was above and beyond, Steven the owner was very friendly and a lovely and insightful person. He even surprised my partner on the day of her 30th by playing birthday music and giving her a very thoughtful gift. We spent quality time having food and drinks together. Yassine's attentive service, from delivering food and drinks to arranging excursions and guiding us to pickup locations, was remarkable. His cheerful presence added to the Riad's welcoming atmosphere. Overall I couldn't have hoped for a better experience, 11/10. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Marrakech and I hope I get the chance to come back again soon.

Beautiful place with very nice designs and great and cozy common areas (especially the perfect roof top terrace). Superb staff with impeccable service going the extra mile

Steve did a truly amazing job with this Riad. From the welcome trough the whole stay we felt like being family. There was even a Christmas tree with gifts for everyone. Whatever you ask for Steve and Yassine will arrange it and help you along the way. Highly recommend for a stay in the Old Town of Marrakech.

At first the road felt very tricky to go there but we were shown the map and major points by Steven. It was so easy for us to find our way after that. Never lost our way

Even though it was in the medina, it was very quiet, Yassine and Steven were ever so helpful and friendly, and it has a nice access to shops and the mosque, markets. Very relaxing atmospher and clean. We loved our gifts Steven. Thank you so much Yassine

We really liked Riad Al Ibtikar. Yassine and Steven are great and they did everything to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. You’ll find everything you’ll need and some bonus spiritual talks with the great host. 😊 We also found a blind, stray cat on the streets and Yassine was so kind to take her in. Her name is Janette and she’s now staying at the Riad’s rooftop. Highly recommended propriety in the center of Marrakech.

Nothing comes to mind :)

Very welcoming reception, good location, and delicious breakfast. Staff was also very helpful with everything we needed - arranging taxi, suitcase transport within the riad etc.

The location is perfect, a 6min walk from the main square. The host Steven and Yassin are extremely warm and accommodating. Steven welcomed us to his home upon arrival and Yassin took care of all of our needs during our stay. The Riad is beautiful and the breakfast was great. The first evening when we arrived, Fattis made us Tajines which were absolutely delicious and we enjoyed them on the peaceful terrace. I cannot fault our stay a single bit!

There is absolutely nothing to fault. Value was exceptional.

Brilliant location, personalized decor, welcoming and very comfortable. Steve couldn't have done more to make our weeks vacation anymore perfect. Whilst the Riad is in the heart of the Medina, as soon as the door closes its a calming and tranquil oasis. Loved our stay and highly recommend!

Yassine and Steven were very friendly, welcoming and helpful, I would definitely recommend this beautiful Riad.

Only bad comment was the WiFi was not working during our stay but we didn't mind too much

The space was really beautiful, peaceful and luxurious and amazing value for money. The staff were so helpful and we organised all our transport which made our trip run smoothly. Yacine was an excellent host, he made sure our trip to Morocco was memorable and helped us book an amazing birthday dinner for our friend Jack. Everything was perfect

Cant fault the Riad in anyway, Stephen and Yassim were outstanding hosts, a beautiful Riad far enough away from the hustle and bustle, so a quiet area, but 2 minutes walk and you are in the thick of it, excellent location. Stephen couldn't do enough, booking restaurants etc for us. Will definitely be back

Great staff and owner who genuinely want you to enjoy serenity, a refuge,comfort and great stay. The riad decor is calm with welcoming and cosy living room, the staff alert to offering mint tea when you come in from a tough outing and stressful streets of Marrakech. Its the only shared space, so far of 4 riads and cities/towns, I spent hours reading in. Top floor patio charming with pretty garden and private nooks. Room and bathroom is fairly large; with large queen bed. Ours had added charm of a metal grapevine with handmade lights spanning one wall. (The whole place exudes artistic floral themed touches). Breakfasts are wonderful with variety of breads, egg and jams, yoghurt. The staff super helpful sorting out my many complicated pickup and drop offs, day trips. One of two riads Definitely want to to return to and will miss. I wouldn’t have liked being in Marrakech a tenth as much but for the peaceful and healing vibes here. Recently renovated and Super clean to top it off.

We loved everything. If you want all the fancy mod cons of a 5 star hotel it’s probably not for you but if you want a comfortable and authentic experience with soul you will not be disappointed.

We loved Riad al Ibtikar. From the moment we walked in the door we felt immediately at home. It is a beautiful calm space decorated with many of owner Steven’s creations. Our room was so comfortable and quiet, a world away from the medina outside. It’s a 5 minute walk to Jemaa El Fna and in walking distance of all the popular sites. The food is a highlight and the staff, Yassine and Zahoua could not be better. Steven is a warm and welcoming host. We came as guests and left as friends. We will definitely return.

Absolutely nothing I can identify that I didn’t like! Maybe the fact that I had to leave. 😞

The people are my primary, Steven, Yassine and Zahoua absolutely made the experience. The Riad is beautiful and having the warm welcome we received and being looked after throughout our stay is priceless. Nothing was too much trouble. The transfer ensured we arrived safely without concerns of being lost in the medina, and ensured a smooth departure. The Riad is conveniently located for accessing Jemaa el Fna but set in a location which gives you sanctuary from the busy nature of the square. The souks are accessed very easily, and that’s the beauty of Marrakech. The breakfast was varied, filling and fresh! All served in a calm environment. Not being a tea drinker, the mint tea was delicious and the flair of the pouring is something to behold.

it's a beautiful Riad, very nice atmosphere and a perfect quiet place in the middle of the busy Medina. Steven en Yasinne are very kind and friendly people who help you with everything you need. And we had a lot of fun with them!
