Riad Catalina is an oasis and absolutely beautifully located riad away from the hustle and bustle of the medina but within easy walking of everywhere in old town Marrakesh. Nadia and the team are extremely welcoming, kind and go the extra mile to ensure you feel comfortable. Can’t recommend staying here enough the rooms are small but perfect and comfortable. The roof top pool (which is just shallow) is the perfect place to cool down after a day exploring. Thank you to all the great staff for making our stay wonderful. (Also for helping with lost luggage 😊). We would definitely return.

My wife, son and myself had a lovely holiday staying at this Riad. All the staff were very helpful, especially Nadia, and we received everything we needed. The rooms are not like a 5-star hotel but if you've chosen a Riad it's for a more authentic Moroccan experience and you certainly get that. The location is fantastic, staying in the Medina is great fun and the staff are scrupulously honest. I totally recommend this Riad to anyone who is considering it.
