From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The hospitality here is unmatched - the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. They go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The riad itself is stunning, with plenty of space and cozy spots to relax. Every little detail has been thought of, from the beautifully scented bathroom products (which you get to choose yourself!) to the stylish interior. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every meal was a treat, with a great variety of flavors. They even prepared vegetarian dishes for us on request. Also the breakfast was generous and made with love. The location is excellent - peaceful, yet close to all the highlights of Marrakech. Normally, we don’t tend to revisit the same place, but Riad Alili is an exception. When we come back to Marrakech, we already know where we’ll be staying! Oh, and Omar the dromedary? You’ll just have to meet him yourself ;) 100% recommended!

Great Riad furnished to very high standards. They close for a few weeks every year to refurb so it’s in immaculate condition. From here you can take a nice 20 mins walk through the souks to get to the main market square Jemaa El-Fnaa. Staff were all excellent. So friendly. You feel like you are staying with friends. Will definitely return.

Beautiful Riad in a great location. Rooms are gorgeous and the whole Riad is spotlessly clean and well maintained. We were so looked after by Christophe and all of his team, everyone was so warm and helpful and couldn’t do more to make us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Breakfasts were excellent every morning. There is so much attention to detail which we really appreciated and made things easier for us, such as the SIM cards they lend you so you can get about using your phone without roaming charges and also the airport transfers that were seamlessly organised for us. Our 3yr old daughter was showered with gifts and made to feel so at home - she loved feeding the tortoises and the jacuzzi - which was lovely and warm, so nice to come back to after a day exploring the souks. Fires are lit in the rooms at night time as the January evenings can get a little chilly and extra bedding is provided should you need it, the atmosphere is cosy and tranquil. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Thank you Christophe and all the team at Riad Alili! We hope to return one day…

Nothing, everything is perfect

Perfectly located in the old town. A quiet oasis of calm compared with life on the streets. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. Beautiful courtyard and pool with adjoining heated jacuzzi. Well appointed room with lots of thoughtful extras including a choice of scent for the toiletries. Cool evening meant a log fire in the room. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful served in the courtyard by the pool. Evening meal one night in front of the log fire, another by the pool on a warmer evening. All of the staff were so attentive and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you. Excellent hammam and massage at the Riad. Overall such a luxurious stay.

The riad is just what I hoped. It is down one of the Medina's narrow lanes , hidden behind a traditional door and stepping through you are met with a feast for the senses. Amber, wood smoke from the open fire, the call to prayer, trickling water, colourful tiles, flickering candles, dark wood palms and succulents in beautiful pots. The staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating and the efforts they made to help us celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday were exceptional . We ate in every night of our 3 night stay and enjoyed delicious traditional Moroccan food. Good decision!

This Riad is truly beautiful and the whole experience was amazing from airport pick-up to check-out. Youssef and the whole team made us feel so welcome. They were able to accommodate all of our requests and made the whole trip very easy and stress free, so we could enjoy Marrakesh and all it had to offer. The riad itself is stunning with a great rooftop for sunbathing, beautiful hammam with very reasonable prices and the room we stayed in was also really nicely decorated. We will surely be back!

Nothing that we didn’t like.

The Riad seems so hidden and unimpressive from the outside,but then you enter the door it’s just magical!The details,the welcome and surroundings are just stunning. Youssef and his crew were so thoughtful and flexible like we‘ve never seen before. It‘s the perfect place to relax and let yourself be spoiled! The Riad is close to several restaurants and like 15-20minutes away (by foot) from the Medina or the other more prestigious side of Marrakech. We ate at the Riad one evening and it was delicious! Our „skin care“ was phenomenal too… If you have a chimney in your room,they even light it up in the evening for a cozy and warm feeling.

Where do you start . ..Riad Alili thought of everything. All the small touches - robes, picking your own shower gel etc - that made our visit so special. The staff are beyond helpful, organizing trips, taxi's, highlighting places to visit etc. Prior to visit, any queries were answered promptly. Food was all fresh and homemade - delicious. Riad Alili is a haven of tranquility amongst all the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Couldn't quite believe how quiet it was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Road Alili to friends and family. Keep up the fantastic work.

We were in a small double, still comfortable with a large shower room. Plenty of space to put your toiletries. Table between beds could have been slightly larger. Not a criticism, as room was comfortable. Only a suggestion.

Our stay at Riad Alili was truly exceptional. A heartfelt thanks especially to Youseff, who made our visit unforgettable, and to the entire staff for their incredible hospitality. The riad, a perfect blend of traditional architecture and modern comfort, was beautiful and tranquil. Our daughters especially enjoyed the pool. Our room was spacious and immaculate, and the daily breakfast was delicious and varied. The riad's ideal location allowed us to explore Marrakesh easily while providing a peaceful retreat. We highly recommend Riad Alili and look forward to returning. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Riad Alili is a beautiful oasis in at the edge of the busy medina, only a very short walk to the shouks and about 10-15 minutes to the Jemaa el-Fna square. Yousef and his team were a real highlight of the trip, they were amazingly helpful and attentive. They take great pride in providing a magical experience for their guests and you really feel that you are their guest. The food is freshly prepared and you can pick and choose whether you want to eat in the Riad to suit your day. They also had nice touches such as soaps that you can pick the scent of upon arrival, and mint tea and biscuits in the afternoon. The room and Riad itself was beautiful and had everything we needed. There is a Jacuzzi and small pool to relax in, or you can enjoy the sunshine on the terraces looking over the city and all the way to the Atlas mountains. It felt very luxurious and the staff did a great job keeping the rooms in perfect condition.

My partner and I are vegetarian and would've preferred a little more variety in the meals served. But everything is bought fresh on the day so what we did eat was very delicious. Some of the rooms are on a ground floor courtyard which means you can sometimes hear guests arriving at night. This might be a problem for some, but it was very quiet otherwise. There are large shutters for privacy too.
