Abdou/Mohammed for their hospitality from welcome to goodbye. They also hooked us up with a wonderful young guide Abdel, for 2 days of hiking (inc a reward of Berber family lunch). Ibrahim for feeding us so well - his tagines weren’t surpassed anywhere else we ate in Imlil or Marrakech! After having sad sugary jam breakfasts in Marrakech we truly appreciated and missed the local honey and amlou the Atlas Prestige hosts provided every morning. The private terrace was perfect for morning yoga in the shade but I would pop into communal terrace for sun. Words can’t do justice to describe the view…you’ll just have to see it for yourself.

The dust is pretty insane but comes with staying up the mountain and a losing battle for poor staff. Just adjust expectations that this is a lovely and comfortable family-run guest house run by genuine staff (not a luxury 4/5-star kasbah some travel listings advertise it as). As to previous reviews that taxi transfers are a little more pricey than you can find outside, I’d agree however for peace of mind and ease (staff helping with luggage etc), I would gladly pay a little extra. Our driver into the labyrinthine Marrakesh medina stayed with us until the riad’s staff came to collect us. Only thing I’d change would be to have a few more hooks in the room and bathroom so I don’t have to live out of suitcase when I visit next :)

We stayed 2 nights as a family in late March 2025 occupying 3 rooms, travelling from Marrakech (about 1hr 20 mins). The scenery is stunning and the staff were super-helpful, organising onward travel to Essaouira for us (about 3hrs 40 mins). The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast and evening meals were great. To walk down into town is probably about 8 minutes and a bit longer on the return as it is uphill - this is a mountain location and the paths are rough, so it wouldn't suit anyone with mobility issues. It's notably chillier in Imlil due to the elevation, so pack accordingly. There's a pretty easy walk to the nearest waterfall past the Kasbah du Toubkal (worth a visit for a drink) and another walk dropping down into the valley and across to another waterfall. We found everyone friendly and helpful.

The heating in the rooms was absolutely necessary in late March: we found that the heat stayed up high and wasn't distributed very well lower down in the rooms.

I really enjoyed my 4 night stay at the Atlas Prestige. Mohamed, Ibrahim and Youssef are so helpful and look after you very well. You are welcomed with mint tea and they will always make one if you ask. The rooms are lovely and decorated in a traditional style. Water was hot and there was tea/ coffee and water in the room. The breakfasts and evening meals were amazing, I would highly recommend staying in for dinner. Traditional tagines and couscous. It was cold at night because December but there is some heating in the room and a fire in the lounge. The terrace only had sun between 11 and 3. Be prepared for a bit of a climb if you go to Imlil village. I went hiking for one day and Ibrahim, Yourself and Mohamed were all helpful advising with the route. I will visit again and recommend others do if they come to Imlil.

This is a great guesthouse perched above Imlil village with fantastic views which you can enjoy from the terrace and the bedrooms. Yusef was really helpful during our stay, arranging a guide for us to go on an amazing one day hike in the mountains. We ate twice at the guesthouse and the food was delicious and very generous helpings. The bedrooms are comfortable and colourful, with heating, blankets and hot water (it was cold in late December). I would definitely recommend a stay here! It's worth knowing that it's a 10 minute walk up a hillside path from the village, although worth it for the views when you get there!

We are travelling Morocco in our Campervan but occasionally like to stay in a local hotel. We booked a room with a terrace for 2 nights and then messaged the hotel asking where would be a good place to park the van. We couldn’t have asked for a better response. They told us to message them when we arrived and they would show us where to park. On arrival, within minutes of messaging them we were shown to a private locked parking area and then driven to the hotel with our bags. What’s more, they didn’t even charge us for parking! The view from our terrace, the room, the food and the service were all exceptional. Highly recommend

The walk up from the village was a challenge but worth it!

The property’s location in the heart of the Imlil mountains is stunning, offering tranquility and breathtaking views. The food was a highlight—an excellent traditional tagine for dinner and a delicious, fresh breakfast. A perfect spot for relaxation and nature lovers

The access by car was a bit challenging, and reaching the village required walking down from the hill where the hotel is located. It’s best suited for those who are fit, as it can be difficult for older people, kids, or anyone with physical issues. For me, it was a bit tough due to back pain, but overall, the experience was still very enjoyable.

I had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at Atlas Prestige. The views were absolutely breathtaking, making it the perfect getaway. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the amazing staff, especially Youssef, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. From the warm welcome to helping with our bags and meeting all our needs, his service was outstanding. Youssef truly provided the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced from a host. I highly recommend Atlas Prestige and can’t wait to visit again!

Lovely are, beautiful room with an incredible view! Such a peaceful setting, perfect for getting away from the chaos of marrakech! Yousef was so helpful in arranging our hiking tour and transport to and from the Riad. We loved how cosy the place was. And being able to have our dinner there each night was ideal. The dining area was so lovely and personable. Really relaxed setting! Very relaxing place, helpful staff & incredible location! Perfect for some r&r in the mountains. Book - you won’t regret it!!!

Nothing

We loved everything. The dinner was home cooked and the best tagline we’d eaten all holiday. The fresh fruit at the end was perfect and the salsa starter and fresh bread was incredible. The views are out of this world and the staff are so helpful and friendly. They even baked me a cake for my birthday and brought it to our room with candles lit. Parking was easy as well on the road above the accommodation. The short walk down to town only took 5 - 10 minutes at most. We did not want to leave. We would highly recommend. Exactly as advertised.

there was nothing to dislike. Everything was perfect.

Atlas Prestige is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been lucky enough to visit. The riad is located above the village of Imlil and surrounding hamlets, giving an amazing view both of the buildings and the Atlas Mountains (sometimes snow capped). The riad itself is a beautiful mesh of different rooms and vibes, each lovingly decorated. Large open terraces and shelters let you sit for hours with mint tea and watch the shadows move across the rock faces of the mountains. The dinner at Atlas Prestige was a highlight, as a vegetarian their tagine was filling and generous, especially the gorgeous large slices of potato. I had made a few rookie mistakes with my bookings (bring cash if doing excursions/paying for transfers - card ver reasonably NOT ACCEPTED like most places in Imlil), but the staff were constantly looking to accommodate us and help us. I am very grateful for all the assistance they gave us. I would love to visit again and would recommend to anyone.
