Dar Catalina

"The Riad Catalina is such a great place to stay, right in the heart of the city. The hotel is beautiful, inside and out, showing the true history of Marrakech and its culture and I loved its secluded personal setting. The staff were so pleasant and helpful every day, always ready to answer questions and help with organising trips away. The food was first class and you’ve got to try their selection of Tagine, from fish through to chicken they’ve got it covered!"

"We came across Riad Catalina via our TUI rep due to unfortunately our 9 month old daughter being taken unwell at the airport on our return. We was taken to hospital where she received treatment and we was discharged. We were left in Marrakesh with nothing. We managed to return to our original hotel however due to it being a Moroccan holiday whilst we were there the hotel was fully booked for the further 2 nights we needed to stay before returning home. We booked 2 nights at Riad Catalina not knowing what to expect but we needed somewhere to stay urgently. From start to finish I could not recommend this hotel enough. Nadia met us on arrival and we were met with warmth and friendliness straight away. We were provided refreshments and could just relax and take in the beautiful scenery of the hotel terrace after a stressful 24 hours. We were taken to our room which was stunning and perfect for what we needed. Our 2 nights here were short and sweet however we felt home from home. The hotel itself is beautiful with everything you could need. The terrace where you eat is so relaxing and looks magical at night. The staff were so accommodating and friendly and could not help enough. The food here was the best we’d had since arriving 10 days prior. We managed on our last day to go exploring after being discharged from the hospital and it is a perfect location for the market and the souks. The pool on the rooftop is so refreshing and has lovely views. Overall I would recommend Nadia and this hotel again and again without a doubt. Don’t miss out on staying here and meeting Nadia and the staff as you’ll regret it. We can’t wait to come back one day. Lots of love ❤️"

"I had an incredible stay at Riad Catalina and cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its stunning beauty — the charming architecture, the beautifully decorated rooms, and the tranquil courtyard create a truly magical atmosphere. The riad exudes authentic Moroccan charm, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. What truly made my experience exceptional was the staff’s genuine warmth and willingness to go above and beyond. They treated me and my Dad like family, ensuring every need was met with kindness and care. Special thanks to Manager Nadia, whose attentiveness and welcoming nature made us feel right at home. Khalid and Muhammed were also incredibly helpful, always available to assist with anything I needed and offering valuable local tips to enhance my stay. Overall, Riad Catalina isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience filled with beauty, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Moroccan getaway!"
