It was a good location. It was clean and the staff was very helpful.

The Riad is a hidden gem tucked away in the old back streets of the Kasbah. Staff, food, service, room all SUPERB!We'll be back next year .... 10/10*

Very kind and considerate staff, who provided a very early breakfast when asked. Lovely room.

Great location, helpful staff, excellent Riad.

My wife and I recently returned from a long weekend in Marrakech. We pondered on several Riads but decided to go with Riad Alma based on its excellence reviews. On arrival we were not disappointed, we were welcomed into the opulent Riad by owner Maurad, whom really couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. Location was ideal for us, nestled in the less busier south Médina but only a 15minute stroll to the Jamaa el fna square. A truly wonderful eye opening trip enhanced by the beautiful Riad Alma.

This is a lovely Riad to the south of the Kasbah. Our room was of a generous size with a large, if somewhat firm, bed. The room had a shared verandah, that overlooked the courtyard containing the small plunge pool, a sizeable en suite with shower and plenty of wardrobe space. The hotel, which is really a large house, is located at the end of a series of narrow lanes and thus away from the noise and chaos of the old city centre. This does have the drawback that it is a fair walk to the main square and souks (20 mins) and to the Ville Nouvelle (3.3 miles or 1hr walk) but taxis are available for most of the way at reasonable rates if you haggle. The staff were absolutely brilliant and always eager to help. Food in the Riad was very good albeit limited in choice. Nevertheless, they always were attentive and on two occasions insisted we have lunch on the roof terrace so we could enjoy the sunshine.

Wonderful to escape the busy city in Riad Alma, lovely authentic hospitality. Hidden away in narrow back streets, recommend prearranged pick up to help get there. A brisk 10-15 mins to the square so near enough to the main sites and smells. Clean spacious suit, air conditioning and comfortable. Great breakfast anytime, open access and good introduction and orientation by

Very happy with our stay. The staff and owners were lovely. Would be very happy to return.

Beautifully decorated, perfect lounging areas on the roof and around the pool and a very friendly and accommodating staff. During our 4 night stay, we were treated extremely well - even had dinner there one night which was exceptional. Our room was very clean, modern lay outfitted and perfectly sized for two. Mourad was able to secure us transportation for a day trip. The one downside would be the distance to the Medina/heart of the city. But it was very safe to walk and definitely tucked away from the business of the Kasbah streets. I will stay again on my next trip!

I can't recommend Riad Alma highly enough. Hidden away through a maze of back streets, Riad Alma is a welcoming and tranquil place to stay. Moirad, the owner, greeted us with big smiles and lots of helpful advice on our first night and throughout our stay, he could not have been a better host. He made us feel so welcome and happily helped us with everything we asked for, including arranging taxis to restaurants to save the bother of having to negotiate fares and a trip to ride some camels. There were always staff on hand to help with any requests too. We stayed in one of the rooms with a private balcony and enjoyed our morning tea and coffee overlooking the courtyard watching the little birds hop about. I would definitely go back.

This was our first time in Morroco and we did not know what to expect, especially for two guys traveling alone. I have to say that our stay at Riad Alma exceeded our expectation. Riad Alma was at first tricky to find but we have contacted the host before our arrival and Mourad a Property Manager arranged a taxi pick up for us at the airport for 15 Euros. We arrived late around 9.30PM and Mourad made us a very nice welcome dinner with some local wine. Next morning we were welcomed with rich continental breakfast which was included every day during our stay. Mourad was very helpful and explained us how to navigate through the city by showing us directions on the map since our travel guide did not show up on time. Overall, I have to say that we were very comfortable staying at Riad Alma, property is very well maintained and clean and entire staff was very helpful and kind. Special thank you to ladies in the kitchen as we had three dinner requests during our stay that were prepared for us with on a very short notice. Food was excellent and prepared with high quality ingredients. Also, we spent there New Years Eve having dinner with other guests. Mourad was very helpful to answer all of our questions and gave us some good recommendations what to see in Marrakesh. Thank you very much for being a great host and we would like to recommend staying at Riad Alma to everyone who is looking into high quality stay that is safe, clean, friendly and accommodating to their guests. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay at Riad Alma. We had a very spacious room on the top floor with great views. The hotel staff were very helpful with directions and provided a delicious breakfast each morning.

The staff was fantastic, very accommodating, friendly and always smiling. They went out of their way for us at all times to the points to even show me around the city one of the nights on their own vehicle and take me to a local Shisha Bar, cook me any food I want and recommend us a restaurant (which was sincerely, very upscale and fun). The day before me and my friends arrived we asked to have beers bought for us and "voila!" when we arrived they had bought a 48 pack. The atmosphere was fantastic as we literally had the whole place for ourselves (the terrace is amazing) and in the morning you wake up with the birds singing just outside your window. The decoration is impeccable and really gives you the feel that you are in Morocco. Of course it was not perfect, but nothing is. My room had not "hot" water, it was just body temperature, which was fine by me. The neighborhood looked a bit rough, but then again, we decided to stay at the "real" side of town (Medina) where we could see a bit of the real Marrakech. If you want to go to a really nice restaurant go to "Le Comptoir Darna" I swear you wont regret! If I ever go back to Marrakech I would not think twice, I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Friendly staff, clean and comfortable stay. A bit of a walk to the centre of the medina but all part of the experience. I would recommend this hotel.

Very tranquil, lovely staff. Beautiful roof terrace, tastefully decorated.

Ok, Riad Alma is not easy to find and the surrounding neighborhood is not the best, but when the door to Riad Alma is opened you are greeted warmly by Martine & Pierre and your difficulty in finding the Riad is forgotten. We spent 4 nights there and enjoyed every minute. Breakfasts were amazing and we ate dinner in on our return from camel trekking (really dromedary) which was very enjoyable. Transport around Marakesh can be organised by Martine which helps to orientate yourself in and out of the Riad. Ville nouvelle is only about 4 kilometers away and is easily walked. Petite taxi to the train/ bus station should be about 20 dirhams.

Clean, modern, unique, relaxing - terrace to sunbathe upstairs, spacious room, chilling out area downstairs. Excellent service and care, good breakfast. Can't say a bad word. About a mile walk from the main part of town/the market - but we didn't mind as also away from the hetic part, so very peaceful.

It was nice.

Through out the stay very good service by friendly staff led by Martine who made you very welcome , and assisted us on all our requirements.

A calm oasis in a busy medina,the pool was a welcome relief to come back to each day. The host prepared a special traditional meal for us on our last night, she was very helpful with arranging our next adventure.

Our superior room was spacious and sweetly decorated, and the entire riad is well taken care of. The owners clearly take pride in their hotel. Please note that this riad isnt in what locals would refer to as the medina - its in the Kasbah area. If youre okay to walk a few blocks, then dont let this deter you. If you are up for a longer walk, you can even do what my partner and I did and walk all the way to Jardin Majorelle via Nouveau Ville. Its quite the walk, but the location of this riad makes it a bit easier than it could be as its close to a door in the wall which you can use to exit the old town and into the new town (not all that much to see there though other than the Jardin Majorelle). Please note that like all riads, this experience is more of a bed-and-breakfast type as opposed to a hotel - some of the amenities you may be used to if you travel a lot must be arranged in advance. This isnt a negative - just something to keep in mind. The WiFi worked well enough although didnt work so well in our room - we had to sit in one of the shared areas for the best connection. All the same, we were happy we had that available as were both entrepreneurs and have to keep up with business back at home. All in all, I would absolutely recommend Riad Alma to couples and to friends who are visiting Marrakech. Its a charming little oasis, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Riad Alma is a lovely home into which we were welcomed by owner Pierre. The Riad itself is beautiful, with a quiet roof terrace, and several courtyards for relaxing in the sun / shade, and lots of indoor lounge areas for chilling out in the evening with a glass of wine in the company of the other guests. Our room was small, but clean and functional, and decorated in a Moroccan style. The only negative was the location - a good 25 minute walk through dusty streets dodging cars and motorbikes to Jemaa el Fna (the main square). We were really pleased that we visited while Pierre was in town (he splits his time between Marrakech and France) as he was very friendly, ensured we had everything that we needed, and generally made us feel like old friends.

Located in the Kasbah Area of the Medina lovely Riad with friendly & helpful staff,
