Riad Catalina - Marrakech

Det var ikke et hotel, men et riad, dvs. et hjem med adgang for turister. Det var angivet med fem stjerner, hvilket nok kunne være rimeligt betratet som riad, men ikke som hotel. Jeg kendet ikke til begrebet riad og var derfor lidt skuffet over standarden i forhold til de 5 stjerner. Men det var da ok prisen taget i betragtning. Svømmebassinet var vel […] nok snarer et soppebassin. Læs mere

This riad was easy to access in the Medina. Our taxi dropped us at the gate and a man with a cart took our luggage, and us, to the Riad. On our departure the staff helped us out with our luggage. The staff were wonderful, very helpful and all spoke English. Rooms were neat and tidy and being a riad, they all had their own special character - no two […] the same. Of course you do have to be prepared to climb stairways in accomodation such as this. We ate in and had a wonderful meal. We wished we had eaten in the next night too, when we were disappointed at a highly recommended restaurant - much better food at the riad. The location was great for getting to the main square in Marrakesh - you just had to run the gauntlet of shop owners trying to lure you in to their particular shop. This riad has a wonderful leafy courtyard and I have no hesitation in recommending it. Læs mere

Beautiful Riad, exceptional staff always ready to help in a great location just 10 minutes from Place Jema El-Fna in the center of Marrakech. If we go back to Marrakech, we will stay at Riad Catalina again. Quick advices: 1. arrive in the day time, as the Riad is in the back of a little street, hard to find at night. 2. We recommend enjoying the breakfast […] every day, always full and diversified. A great start of the day. 3. The location is perfect, as you can get to the souks, the Place Jema El Fna, the Saadian Tombs, the Palaces Badi and Bahia all in 10 minutes or less by foot. Enjoy Marrakech and Riad Catalina.

Excellent riad (guest house) with an excellent location. The caretakers were friendly and kind. If you are looking for an authentic and quiet place in Marrakesh this is it. I saw many places that were over the top in their efforts to look the part however Riad Catalina was tasteful and simple. The courtyard was a wonderful place to relax after a day […] in the Medina. It was a great experience and it makes me want to come back again. Læs mere

The staff is wonderful. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Only complaint is the size of the bathroom - shower was so small you couldn't turn around,

Well located - if you like very quiet corner in a furthermore very lively area. Beautiful riad, a charming although small room, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff - only minor: the price they charge for collecting you at the airport is at a very steep premium in comparison to what other riads charge.

I would not recommend Riad Catalina. We stayed in Riad Catalina at the end of December and the nights were very cold. As the doors to the public areas and corridors were kept open it was bitterly cold every time we left our room. Fortunately the heater worked very well in the room and this was very charmingly decorated. We only ate breakfast in the […] hotel as the three course evening meals that were on offer were very expensive by Moroccan standards.. I would recommend eating out in the local Moroccan restaurants or on the Jemaa el Fna where we paid considerably less. On one evening my partner was not feeling well so we explained this to the hotel staff and asked if the kitchen could prepare a sandwich or small snack for him to eat in our room. Despite the fact that there was no one else in the dining room and the kitchen staff had nothing to do at that moment, we were told that it was only possible to have the three course meal. We found this a very unhelpful attitude Læs mere

What an oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. You walk into a lovely courtyard filled with plants, centered by a fountain. You see turtles, birds, and are immediately greeted with an offering of delicious mint tea! The rest of your stay will be much the same. The food in the Riad is wonderful, the staff is friendly and helpful. Our […] room was a tad small, with a bed that was a bit challenging for a couple, one of whom is 6 ft 3- but that is the only challenge I can think of from a wonderful stay at Riad Catalina.

Great experience! The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was lovely, and the riad itself is beautiful. The only minor cons are that it is a little difficult to find initially (like most) and it's about a 7 minute walk to the jma-el-fnaa (we thought it was closer). But it was a great place and I will definitely stay here again.

A lovely traditional Riad. Really peaceful. Very helpful staff. We upgraded to the Royal Suite at a modest charge, as our allocated rooms were small, but the suite was great. Breakfast was good with local fresh pastries, great coffee, bread and fresh orange juice We had dinner one night and that was fine.The situation was very good. All the main sites […] were within easy walking distance. Our stay of four nights gave us long enough to have a private day trip to the Atlas Mts which the Riad arranged and was well worth doing. Our airport pick up was spot on even though we were 45mins early. We would thoroughly recommend this Riad but be aware the cheapest rooms are small. Læs mere

This was a beautiful riad with wonderful, helpful staff. Most spoke good English. When we got there, it was dark and the taxi left us at the entrance to a dark alley way and told us to walk. We were a little nervous but there it was. It was absolutely beautiful and once we did the alley in daylight, we found it to be perfectly safe. The location is […] great near the market and souks. The only thing is that they take NO credit cards. There was a city tax that they asked for at the end of the stay that we did not know about. We almost did not have the cash to cover this and our taxi fare to the airport. I wish they had warned us at check in. But other than that, we were very pleased with the accomodations. Læs mere

This delightful hotel was located within the Old City walls and the Souks were a few steps away.

Riad is nice, clean and comfortable. Just three block walk to the Jeema Al Fna square. 30 min. walk to Marrakech train station. Mint tea on arrival!

Vi ble veldig godt tatt i mot og behandlet på Riad Catalina. Betjeningen var meget service innstillte og hotellet var supert, med en perfekt beliggenhet og ikke minst, basseng på taket. Rommene er veldig små, men koselige med et Marrokansk preg. Alt i alt, anbefales på det varmeste! Hilsen ett par fra Norge. We were very well received and treated at […] the Riad Catalina. The staff was very service minded and the hotel was great, a perfect location, and a rooftop pool. The rooms are very small, but cozy with a Moroccan feel. All in all, highly recommended! Læs mere

Hotel muy centrico, limpio y de trato amable y profesional. No admiten pago con tarjetas. Lo peor: el baño de nuestra habitacíón era muy pequeño.

We stayed at the hotel between the dates 11-13 dec 2010. This was not a 5 star hotel, may be just 3 star... The streets (souks) to the hotel were very silent but not far away from place el-fena. Rooms were very small, not easy to move in it.. especially the bath room was very small.. There is not any windows in the room except the one in the bathroom... […] The swimming pool in the roof was also very small and 85 cm deep. I can say that the room bedlining was not very clean. The hotel staff was nice and helpfull. We were able to leave our laggages in the hotel after we check out. The breakfast was also good. but They could not serve us any dinner at 10 PM. Læs mere
