    • Restaurant*

      The restaurant offers traditional Moroccan cuisine. It's all homemade and there are different dishes every day.

    • Outdoor pool

      While it may not be the biggest, this pool has prime position on the hotel roof with views of Koutoubia Mosque and the Atlas Mountains. Surrounded by potted plants and with sunbeds dotted around it, you'll have a relaxing time lazing by the pool.

    • Courtyard garden

      Orange trees offer some shade as you sit on the wrought iron table and chairs surrounded by hanging lanterns in the courtyard garden. It's an ideal place to just sit and chillout as you listen to the sound of the birds. And you can have your breakfast out here, too.

    I have visited this Riad for a 5 day stay in Marrakech with my sister ! Good choice ! Clean place ! Right in the center of Medina (the old city)! The stuff is friendly! The only thing we did not know was that we had to pay for city tax! We were little bit surprised because no one had informed us about it before ! At least it wasn’t much!
    Felt Like Family

    While visiting Marrakesh my girlfriends and I stayed at Riad Catalina. The staff was very accommodating and made us feel like royalty. We were warmly greeted and catered to with grace, attention and top notch service. Everyone seemed to genuinely care that our stay went well. The front desk accommodated us by making recommendations and assisted us with making arrangements for excursions and transportation. Breakfast is included but as delectable lunch and dinner are freshly prepared upon order at a reasonable cost. The rooftop pool hosts views to the sunset lit city and one of the mosques, well lit and very scenic in the evening. The location is central and within walkin distance to shopping and many restaurants. I highly recommend this riad, by the time my girlfriends and I left, we felt like we were family.

    I'm naturally a lover of people and experiences. However, I'm aware that is often not a  reciprocated notion but every once in awhile I get rewarded with like souls. Staying at Riad Catalina in Marrakesh is forever going to be a cherished experience. Our exuberant hostess Nadia, the joyful Oualaa, the gracious Khalid, and the dashing Mohammad adopted us from our very first meet! I've never felt quite so welcomed and befriended on a trip before! The accommodations were elegant and peaceful. Not only is the location gorgeous and easy to navigate (just on the edge of the medina) but you're a short walk from the Koutoubia Mosque, Jemaa El-Fnaa Square, the souk, the Berber market and a few short cab rides to the museums and nightlife. Our royal suite was magnificent! The ladies behind the scene (Somia and Malika) made sure we woke up feeling like three Queens every morning. The food was outstanding to the point that I lost count of how many delicious tanjines we devoured. The coffee and mint tea gave us life!! When we eventually ventured out from our oasis, all of Their recommendations were excellent...we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It truly was an amazing vacation. Do yourself a favor and go meet these beautiful humans. Here's hoping we make it back, Inshallah.
    Surely the nicest riad in all of Marrakech!

    My partner and I stayed here for 10 days in August, and we had such a lovely time. Upon entering, the courtyard is simply breathtaking in its beauty, and there was nothing lovelier than sitting there with a drink to escape the extreme heat of the day. Our room was beautiful and cosy, and while the air conditioning didn't initially work correctly, the staff took it upon themselves to get it fixed without us needing to ask them to. The shower was also lovely and powerful, which was perfect for blasting away all the dust after a gruelling day of quad biking. All the staff were wonderful and welcoming, and we felt truly at home. We also ate at the hotel a couple of times, and the food was of fantastic quality. The breakfast was also lovely, and the staff very kindly offered it to us even though we slept past serving time the first day! Lots of time was also spent watching the little birds and tortoises in the courtyard. We loved the rooftop pool, and enjoyed dipping into it to cool off on our lazier days. Honestly, the riad was so wonderful that it was difficult to say goodbye to it! I loved it so much, and I wish I could go back there right now!
    Fantastic Stay

    Stayed in Riad Catalina for 5 nights in May 2019 with my partner. Such a relaxing atmosphere and all of the staff were so friendly and couldn't help you enough. Loved the rooftop pool, perfect for cooling down in the hot weather. Ate here one night and the food was delicious. Loved sitting in the courtyard in the afternoon with a mint tea.
