We had a truly wonderful stay at Riad Alboraq. Everything was perfect – from the warm and welcoming staff to the beautifully decorated rooms and peaceful ambiance. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make us feel comfortable and at home. The breakfasts were delicious, the location ideal, and the entire atmosphere of the riad was serene and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for your hospitality – we will definitely return! Vasile and Filipa 🇵🇹❤️

Beautiful property. Rooms spacious and clean. Lovely bathroom facilities. Good, working air conditioning. Light but tasty breakfast. Free mint tea. Aziz was looking after us for most of the time during our stay and I must say he was fantastic. The best. He was so helpful and so welcoming, he was able to accommodate every request we had and always made himself available. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever had.

The location isn’t a problem but it can be a little hard to find as the Medina has lots of small, winding streets. Taxis cannot drop you directly to the door and people will often approach you to try and redirect you or offer help with directions (in exchange for money) as you try to find your way there. So I would definitely recommend getting the airport shuttle service on your first day if you think you would find this stressful.

absolutely stunning riad, very beautiful interior and amazing staff who are very accommodating and the sweetest people i’ve ever met at a hotel- also very caring and will go out of their way for you. i am so grateful that i chose this riad. the rooms are beautiful, and you are greeted with smiles and birds every morning, i was so happy to be staying here. it made the trip comfortable and i felt very secure being here. yacine is very sweet and lovely, when we were leaving early for our day trip he insisted us to have breakfast, but because we weren’t able to, he would make us a coffee instead and asked if we needed anything for our journey, achraf would ask the same too. both achraf & yacine made the riad a homely and comfortable place. i loved the location of the riad, it’s in the most cultural part of marrakesh, and it felt as if we were part of the community being in the heart of it. the medina was near by, and also it’s easy to get to places from the riad also. the beds were comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful, everything was cleaned to perfection everyday, even the towels were changed daily - which i wouldn’t have minded having the same one for the entirety of the stay. the breakfast was lovely, the moroccan tea lovely, the shisha was amazing and so was the rooftop! i adored everything about my stay here. me and my now fiancé also proposed on the rooftop under the moonlight, it felt perfect at the riad after a nice long day of exploring. i had told achraf, who then set up our room with a bouquet full of roses and rose petals on the floor which was such a wonderful surprise, i was pretty much shocked in awe. this was perhaps the most beautiful and romantic thing. making our engagement night perfect. thank you very much. achraf and yacine were amazingly accommodating, very sweet, have bright personalities and always happy to help with whatever you need. they definitely deserve all the best.

nothing - everything was perfect.

I cannot thank Achraf enough for the way he went above and beyond in making me and my husband feel really welcome and comfortable during our stay, he made us feel like this was home and we had access to the rooftop 24/7 which is where we spent so much of our time and he was so attentive and kind really highlight of our trip, i’ve never been away on holiday where i’ve spent so much time inside the hotel but breakfast was great sun loungers were amazing and the pool was so pretty, it was fairly quiet so it felt like we had the place to ourselves and it was very conveniently located where everything is in walking distance definitely highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay there again in a heart beat and again cannot thank achraf again for his kindness.

the bed could have been bigger

The Riad is absolutely beautiful, well presented and exceptionally clean. The staff are extremely welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Throughout our stay Ashraf and team were available for any questions at any time, always looking to help and offer guidance. Traffic dependent (which you will learn is an interesting part of the Medina), the airport can be reached in 15-20 minutes by car. The Riad requires a small walk of a few minutes to be reached from the drop off location. This location (parking Bab taghzout) is a main meeting point for tours and is also the main route from riad into the heart of the Medina.

The location in this area of the old Medina is a little further out, and on arrival it's certainly a little daunting as you go through quiet back alleys. Marrakech is a city of small alleys, certainly in the Medina, and you need a few days to build confidence as you walk around. As a young family confidence at night was a problem, and solo travellers may also find the location to be a little intimidating. The Riad staff are exceptional and will always offer to walk with you to busier areas.

The staff at Riad Alboraq were exceptional. Aziz and Ashraf were always happy to help, whether our request was big or small. Aziz even walked with us to the shop to translate for the shopkeeper when we needed SIM cards. Both Aziz and Ashraf escorted us to meet our Taxi in the mornings, and they were there in the evenings to escort us back from the pickup point to the Riad. They organized tours for us at our request, and we had a great time. Ashraf was quick to reply to our messages when we had questions while we were away from the Riad. Not only Aziz and Ashraf, the cleaning and cooking crew were very warm and friendly. Our rooms were always clean and the food was absolutely delicious. The location is close enough to walk to the big square, but far enough that it gets a little quieter at night.

We have nothing bad to say about Riad Alboraq.

Riad Alboraq is a beautiful safe haven, tucked away in a quiet part of Marrakech. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a warm smile and friendly face. Ashraf and Hicham prioritised our comfort and were apt to find out how they could make our stay the most enjoyable. The breakfast was decent and dinner was rich with spices, even our toddler approved of the dinner. I really liked the dessert in the picture (I forgot what it's called), it was delicious and modestly sweet. Our room was spacious and well-maintained. The room was absolutely gorgeous, as well as the whole riad. This riad is very family-friendly. We came to Marrakech during very hot weather (temperatures were almost 40°C) and we were able to take a dip in the chilly pool, while still being able to keep an eye on our toddler having a nap in the cot, as our room was on ground floor, facing the swimming pool. It was so refreshing to come home to our air-conditioned room after sweating buckets outside in the harsh Moroccan heat. It was especially refreshing to be greeted with a cold bottle of water every day. If you're new to Marrakech, one thing you should be aware of is the cute little birds that sing a song early every morning. My first night there, I thought it was somebody's phone alarm going off, and upon investigation, I found out it was a real bird! I came here with my husband and toddler in July and overall, this was a great first impression of Marrakech and we hope to visit again.

The included breakfast was pretty much the same every day, which isn't bad because it did have variety. They served fruit, different kinds of bread with butter, triangle cheeses and various jams for you to pick and choose. You could also request an omelette. It was served with juice, mint tea and hot chocolate. The breakfast was overall tasty. I just expected something different every day.

Absolutely loved the location once we got our bearings. It’s witting a short walk to almost everything. It’s perfect if you want experience an authentic Moroccan stay. Rooms are spotless and towels changed daily. The roof terrace was such a bonus. We sat out every evening and enjoyed the views. Shower has good pressure and plenty of hot water. The riad provided shampoo body wash and soap. The room also has a hair dryer and robes. Air conditioning was good and not noisy. Breakfast was lovely and slightly changed each day. The mint tea was so refreshing also. I recommend either getting a sim from orange or downloading an esim to use google maps when out and about. Don’t too nervous of the locals they genuinely were helpful to us and didn’t expect anything in return.

We loved everything about our stay and will return.
