My wife and I booked for our 35th Wedding Anniversary Trip to Morocco and chose the Riad Alma in Marrakesh as the place to stay for its charm and location close to the palace and it being in the Medina. Our booking was for 11 days and we were lucky to have Ahmed as the Ried Alma Manager and Concierge. The Riad is run as a hotel but you receive personal service of the highest quality. The amenities of the dining areas to choose from, the pool, the lounges from the first floor to the roof and its great views were well worth after a hot long day of excursions to the Atlas Mountains and to the seaport of Essaouira. The staff is wonderful from the meals served and the services offered such as the Hamman massage. But the Concierge services offered by Ahmed were invaluable for we had 6 excursions from Riad Alma and all claimed by email and text that they would be picking us up at our Riad and at the last minute they would change the pick up to a distant location! Ahmed, saved the situation by talking to each of the excursion company’s owners/managers/drivers to have them uphold their agreement to time and place of pickup and return. He is outstanding person and one of the best manager/concierge I have come across in all my years of travel. We loved our room and the staff was perfect in the meals and cleaning. We also appreciated the laundry services. So complete your stay and give Ahmed and his staff a try at the Riad Alma.

Amazing stay at Riad Alma!
Loved the local scene, kids playing in the alleys, locals going about their daily busy routine... Riad Alma was very clean, well organized with an authentic moroccan feeling. Ahmed was extremely professional and helpful, could not praise him enough. Breakfast was fresh and the ambiance in the interior garden was surreal with the birds chirping. Can't wait to go back :)

Long weekend
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.

Oasis of calm
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.

Memorable stay
We stayed at Riad Alma for a week and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. Our room was beautifully decorated with outstanding attention to detail. We had a large terrace overlooking one of the central courtyards which had a pool. Mourad, the Riad manager was extremely helpful. He gave us a map on the first day and explained to us where all the attractions are. He was always available and very helpful whenever we had questions. The three ladies working at the Riad were also very friendly and they served us a delicious breakfast on the terrace and in the courtyard. They also cooked dinner for us as we got there late and served us breakfast early when we had excursions. We were fortunate to meet the owners, Pierre and Samira and like the rest of the Riad Alma team were very hospitable, friendly and helpful. They also invited us to join them and some of their friends for champagne on the terrace. The hotel is an oasis of peace in a residential area compared to the hustle and bustle of . It is situated just a 10 minute walk to Jamma Al Fina. And yet as soon as you step in the alley that leads to the Riad you are in a totally different world. We also loved the fact that because it's in a residential area we were mixing with the local people rather than being cut off from the true Marrakech. We would like to thank Mourad, Samira, Pierre and the rest of the Riad Alma team for making our stay in Marrakech one to remember.

Very exciting stay in Medina, Kasbah area.
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

Great Riad in the Kasbah
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!

Fantastic Riad!
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.

You wont find much better than this!
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!

Very quiet and traditional Riad
Situated perfectly a short 10-15 mins from Jenna el fna square. Nearby to amazing street food vendors in Kasbah area, healthy, fresh and most importantly cheap food (compared to tourist sections). Staff at Riad Alma are so welcoming and friendly and so easygoing. Breakfast is fresh and personally prepared by the staff. We were fortunate to have the Riad to ourselves and felt so homely watching some late night TV in the lounge surrounded by rustic morroccan furniture.

an Oasis
Don't be put off by its location and the route you have to take to find Riad Alma, it's all part of the experiance. The Riad it's self is full of tradition and individuality. We booked the airport transfers well in advance and independently as no one answered the hotel phone in the weeks before our arrival. We were greeted by 'George' who tried to tell us about the Riad and how to get about in marrakech, unfortunately we didn't speak much french and he didn't speak much English. That said we asked for a snack due to long journey and were amazed how quickly the staff rustled something up. We never saw George again throughout our 5 day stay! We found that we were left to sort things out, which wasn't a problem to us but may be if you're used to being pampered. This is the sort of place that if you want something, you have to go and find the staff and ask. Don't wait to be asked as it will never come. The staff were the best thing about this experience. They 'jazzed' up the continental breakfast, they kept the place immaculate and were always willing to help. Be sure to ask for the roof terrace, if it wasn't for the guest photos we would never have known that it was there (another George forgot to mention ). Enjoy the Souks and NEVER listen to people willing to help you. They will send you to there shop telling you 'its this way to the big square ) we found that you used the map and the compass on the iPhone we could head in a rough direction until we found a landmark

Gorgeous Riad! Delightful Staff! Amazing Area!
Concerned about the Riads location before we arrived, imagining a warren of narrow, unlit streets & being difficult to find. Not so! Simple as anything, believe me, using the map of Marrakech which Mourad kindly supplies. He even writes directions to & from the Riad on it. Located in the most amazing working area of Marrakech. The tiny 3m x 3m "shop units" had everything going on in them... hairdressers, motorcycle repairs, woodworking, a mechanical rabbit skinner (or chicken plucker - I didn't get too close a look!), 2nd hand tap seller, patisserie, fresh eggs - from chickens at the rear! A real treasure trove if you want to see the true Marrakech. Oh! Brochette stalls aplenty too! Try them, we did they were lovely... The people in the streets around the Riad were as friendly as can be. As they were in the whole of the Medina. Breakfast, ok it's not a full English, get over it! It is lovely though (in our opinion), yoghurt, fruit, marmalade, sweet cake, small toasts, pancakes or filo pastry with jam and gorgeous mint tea (to die for!). The Riad is beautifully kept and decorated and truly welcoming. I really can not praise the staff enough. Elodie manages it along with Mourad superbly catering for your every need. We came home to a blazing log fire each night (February). Staff are discreet but attentive, and so welcoming, we didn't eat there but everyone said the food was unbelievable. Oh there's a lovely roof terrace & 'small' pool too! A truly fantastic experience!

Pretty Riad set away from the hustle and bustle.
This Riad is very nice and comfortable. When you enter there are a few common areas with seating that you can hang out in. There is a very small dipping pool outside in a private terrace-we didn't go in it as it was winter time and we didn't know there was a dipping pool. We were given a room with our own small terrace. The room was comfortable with a double bed that was 2 singles pushed together but you didn't feel the gap between the beds. The bathroom was roomy and the water from the shower had a good pressure. The drain was a little slow to drain but it never over flowed from the shower. There was no door to the shower so the floor could get a bit wet. There was a window to the bathroom so you could let the steam out. The aircon acted as a heater (which we needed as January isn't that warm during the night). I would highly suggest organizing a taxi to collect you from the airport and bring you to the Riad (you can do this through the hotel via email) as you will probably never find the Riad amongst the winding streets of Marrakech. Getting to the Riad at night can be a little spooky since the alleys are dimly lit and very empty. We had brought a flash light and always went out together so neither one of us felt unsafe. The locals are all very friendly but I think if I was alone I would be a little spooked going down the alley by myself. Overall the hotel was very nice and I would recommend it to my friends.
