Riad Kalaa 2

We stayed at the Riad Kalaa 2 for our final two nights in Morocco. Most review will say it is a little distance from the car drop off point. With the Riad not having a sign outside, better to have someone guide for the first time. We were given the Ifrane room on level 2. It’s a smallish room with the bed and TV on a loft, which meant having to go up and down stairs. The room is not very well lighted though or maybe it’s just me. Leaving the curtains opened during the day helps. We can only call the room crammed. Has a small fridge and the smallest in-room safe I’ve ever encountered. No kettle in the room nor coffee making machine though helpfully, there were a couple of bottles of water provided. The bathroom is under the sleeping area. The shower area is however not fully enclosed and so one has to be careful not to spray water everywhere. Moroccan breakfast is served between 7:30 to 10:30 in the central courtyard. Helpfully, they do have laundry services. The restaurant is in big sister, Riad Kalaa, a short walk away that has a sign out front! The food was delicious and as a bonus, alcohol can be served. We tried a Moroccan red wine which was great. The riad is a beautiful property with excellent and friendly service. However, after much consideration, we decide to suggest avoiding the Ifrane room unless you are a sole occupant without mobility issues.

A lovely Riad, tucked away , but still close by to markets and beach. The staff were helpful and friendly. Added bonus was the lovely pool on the rooftop terrace to cool down after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was lovely and we had the room on the top floor and would definitely stay again !

We stayed one night. The Riyad is deep in the Medina and can be hard to find, but they will send someone to bring you from the parking. Rooms are comfortable, well decorated in traditional Moroccan style and eclectic. Nice hot showers. Delicious breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed our stay, only issue is managing getting luggage from parking to the Riyad because it is a long walk, but they are very helpful and nice.
