This was truly a haven from the hubbub of the milling crowds of the main souks and busy side streets. The souks were fun, but as you know (!) you'll have to haggle, it's expected and you would be disappointing the shopkeeper if you didn't do so with a little conviction! The food stalls in the evening were good, but... more

Stayed at Riad Catalina in Oct, for 4 nights with my friends, lovely staff, rooms nice and clean, beautiful courtyard, great location. Rooms are small, shower room/wc tiny (not enough room to swing a cat) They only have double beds no twin . The plunge pool on the roof is great for relaxing with a glass of champagne after a... more

I booked this riad for my very first night in Marrakesh. Worried about arriving late, I chose something central and easy to get to. Well, as visitors will soon find out, medinas are not as straight forward and looking for an address on your own is tricky. You will definitely need one of your many (pay for) friends that you'll... more

i read some bad reviews but have to say this riad is worthy of none! if you want a full english go to an identikit hotel!! really beautiful and a peaceful haven in a busy city. already recommended to my friends, and would love to come back. more

We really liked this riad. Rooms are not very big but quite charming and with nice local decoration. The riad is especially beautiful for its inner garden (riad) where you can relax and take meals, drinks etc. The small pool on the roof is really a pleasant extra. Staff was helfpul and friendly. Simple but exquisite was also the traditional... more

I stayed here with my sister for five nights in April 2009 and were thoroughly spoiled. The Riad Catalina has all the facilities you'd expect from a modern hotel but retains traditional features like a tiled courtyard with central fountain, a wonderful salon next to the reception and old fashioned courtesy from all the staff. The food was very good... more

We stayed at the Riad Catalina - and I say after coming from the Riad Fes we were a little spoiled! But this is a great hotel - I think it is a great location - not too far from the main square and not difficult to find. The patio is beautiful and there are lots of birds and turtle... more

I thought this place was beautiful. I do agree with some previous reviews that the rooms are a little small, but ours was always spotless and the bathroom was lovely. The courtyard is a haven and stunning - though the thousands of sparrows living in the tree make a racket at dusk. Breakfast was delcious and varied every day with... more

The pluses: The staff were helpful, they tried really hard to make up for all of the problems we faced. The courtyard was beautiful. The location was great. The minuses: Tiny rooms. Uncomfortable beds. Dirty bathroom. We had to have our room switched. The dog who lives there makes the restaurant and lobby bathroom smell. And he peed in the... more
