Everything about our stay at Riad Alaka was amazing. We stayed for 6 nights and the whole time we felt at home. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much to ask. The attention to detail was exceptional and the rooms were cleaned daily. The rooftop was a beautiful place to relax and it is perfectly located for a short stroll into the medina and perfectly located for a taxi as only a short walk from the road. At night the Riad is quiet and relaxing with limited noise from the city. On our first day we had the wellness package which we would highly recommend. It was a great and relaxing beginning to our holiday. Meals were homemade, traditional and delicious. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marakech for any amount of time. Thank you so much to all the staff for a lovely experience, we will definitely be returning and recommending to anyone who plans to visit.

I loved that the property was super clean in a very quiet alley way. Staff were amazing, Omar was wonderful and truly kind and helpful. Fast WiFi and breakfast on the upstairs terrace complete a great 5 night visit. One tip is to ask the riad to collect you from the airport as it’s very hard to find if you arrive by normal taxi as they can’t stop outside. Dinner was lovely which we had the 1st night after travelling all day. I’d very much recommend staying here for an authentic break

Only thing which was a bit annoying was very low water pressure in the shower but we overcame that and it didn’t spoil our stay.

Really lovely riad near Bab Doukala which is a really busy and noisy area but it's peaceful in the riad. Really friendly staff, always around to help. No key to the front door but they were always there to let us in. Nice rooftop terrace. We didn't have an evening meal but the breakfast was good with pancakes, bread, pastries, and a small omelette. We didn't eat the Vache qui rit cheese. Shower room with lovely beaten metal wash basin. Bath robes to use was a good point but they could be a bit small for some. Would go back!

I had a lovely stay at this riad during my time in Marrakech. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming — a perfect retreat from the busy streets of the city. The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and always willing to help. They spoke great English, which made communication easy and smooth. From check-in to check-out, they went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. The room itself was very comfortable, with a cozy sleeping area and a separate seating space that made it feel spacious and relaxing. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a huge plus in the Marrakech heat. The bathroom was clean, well-designed, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious — fresh and filling, with a nice variety of local items. While the riad is located slightly outside the main souk area, it was still very accessible either by walking or a short taxi ride, which actually made it feel more peaceful. Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely recommend this riad to anyone looking for comfort, warm hospitality, and a bit of quiet away from the hustle of the medina.

Maybe if it was a little closer to the Medina and Souk area as we were tired by the time we had to get back but otherwise, everything was amazing.

- The riad is beautiful designed in a traditional fashion, rooms are decadent - The location is a little out of the way but in the hustle and bustle of the locals, so as you want to the main square (20 mins) you can discover local culture - There are great little convenience stores on your doorstep, as well as fab terraced restaurants and spas within minutes - The plunge pool was refreshing - The staff are friendly and accommodating and service very good - The AC was very good particularly in the 47 degree heat we endured! - Breakfast is great on the terrace, fresh items and lots of choice

- The plunge pool water wasn't particularly clear

We had a wonderful stay at the Riad Alaka. From being met at the airport, which is handy as the Riad is tucked away down an alley inside the medina, we were beautifully looked after. The staff were attentive and caring. The accommodation was traditional riad and delightful. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, and the dinners reasonably priced, traditional moroccean and delicious. Our rooms were very comfortable, the roof terrace great to relax in the afternoon. Location was great to explore all parts of the medina. Cleaning staff were very good. Excursions are available although we did not use them. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The riad is tucked away down an alley which may hinder some from finding it initally

We had a lovely stay at this stunning riad. The hospitality was exceptional—we were met where the taxi dropped us off and welcomed with tea and biscuits at check-in, which was a nice touch. Our room was beautifully designed, comfortable and quiet. The manager Majoub and the staff, Omar, Malika and the others were attentive and always willing to help. We opted for the wellness package, which included a hammam, massage, and dinner—a unique experience that I highly recommend. The food was outstanding, from the delicious breakfasts to the traditional dinner, all prepared with great care and authentic flavors.

We noticed an issue with the payment which we had to raise with the manager, who invited us back to the Riad and helped to resolve it quickly.

We had an exceptional 15/10 hospitality experience. The staff was incredibly friendly. The owner, Majoub, personally drove us to and from the airport to the Riad. Mimon, Omar (apologies if I’ve misspelled), and the rest of the team were very attentive, always checking in on us and making sure we felt right at home. They also offer excursions, breakfast, and dinner—all within the Riad. So after a long, tiring tour, we didn’t need to go out for dinner. Just let them know in advance, and they’ll have a meal ready for you. We had a fantastic time with Abdul, our friendly driver on the private Ait Ben Haddou tour. He’s the safest driver you could ask for—thank you, Abdul! And the highlight? The in-house hammam and body massage—it was absolutely amazing. Overall, our stay at Riad Alaka was wonderful, and we’ve already recommended it to our friends. You definitely won’t be disappointed!

We had a lovely time at Riad Alaka. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with mint tea and smiles. The staff were exceptional - friendly, attentive, and helpful. The airport transfer was very smooth, and were able to check in 2 hours before the given time. The next morning we headed out to the desert, but we still received a very nice breakfast at 5:30 am, which we greatly appreciated.

The only minor drawback was the lighting. While it created a lovely, romantic ambiance, it was a bit too dim for practical tasks like reading or getting ready in the evening.

location in the heart of Medina,close to all attractions..staff extremely helpful..had a traditional morrocan dinner once,freshly prepared,very tasty..delicious breakfast,waiting to be served for you even if the time for breakfast has passed..didnt have time to use the hammam or massage,but the facilities looked cosy

we stayed over New Year,so the nights and mornings were pretty cold,since the riads dont have the real roofs..we were using urgently repaired AC,but we needed a heater as well..and that is the main flaw of the accomodation in riads generally-no natural light,no windows(if you open the ones on the entrance door,all the other guests can see you),not enough space in the room ,nor in the wardrobe,so we kept everything in the suitcases..and finally,just in the front of the entrance to this beautiful Riad,a real dump,full of garbage and ruins of some previous houses..
