When my partner and I arrived at Riad Ksar Al Amal, we got sat down, offered tea, and given a map whilst we were checked in. When our host walked away, I grabbed my partners arm and said to him - ‘I think we’re in the wrong place’. We weren’t - I just could not believe how beautiful the riad was. Our stay at Riad Ksar Al Amal was by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in the past years. From the colourful mosaic, to the small pool of water and its beautiful sound, to the enormous banana tree thriving in the centre of it all, it was the most beautiful surprise to step into. Our bedroom was absolutely stunning, with a rich red colour on the walls and a small, gorgeous bathroom. We were thrilled to discover we had a small private living room attached to our room, with a stunning view onto the fountain downstairs. The riad was typically Moroccan, with rooms facing each other and little noise reduction, and although they are stereotypically not very private, we felt so welcome and staff was so respectful that we felt completely comfortable. The different staff members were all incredibly friendly, offering tea and recommendations any time we bumped into them and asked, with fantastic attention to detail. We were told a couple times that Riad Ksar Al Amal is our second home - and we will definitely be returning. We also got a Hammam treatment and massage. It was incredibly nice to have a spa in the riad itself and not have to go out to find a separate one - my skin felt completely rejuvenated and the massage was excellent. Our breakfasts were always amazing - a typical Moroccan breakfast with a different local slice of cake every morning, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice and of course the Moroccan pancakes which were delicious. They were very generous portions too - perfect for my hoover of a boyfriend. The view from the rooftop was unparalleled - with the Atlas Mountains looking over us as we lounged on the big bean bags!

If you are a light sleeper, bring a couple earbuds as we were awoken once or twice by call to prayer from the mosque next door, or other guests coming back a bit later!

The riad is absolutely stunning! Every part of it has been designed and decorated to perfection. Lots of social areas and quieter areas, plus the bedrooms are exquisite. The staff were all so kind and helpful, greeted me with tea when I arrived and gave me a run down of Marrakech equipping me for a good trip with recommendations!

Nothing - it was perfect!

An absolutely fantastic, well-kept and above all very privately and personally run riad in a prime location, just a few minutes' walk from the medina. We really enjoyed our stay. Many thanks to all the staff, everyone was so obliging and helpful. Friendly and always a smile. An oasis of calm. It was a wonderful stop on our Morocco tour. Service, cleanliness, dinner and breakfast on the fantastic roof terrace. And our suite at the very top with the option of private dining. Including radiant heater. Wonderful. An unforgettable stay. Everything simply recommendable, our room was a fantastic mix of the original Riad, sensational new decoration and furnishings. And as a special treat, we were the very very first guests to be allowed to inaugurate the brand new spa area. We were the first guests in the hammam, followed by a massage. As a couple. Completely private. We can really only recommend this to every guest. Keep it up, keep up the good work. Kind regards, especially to the "president" :-) a special thank you for the memory "on our chair". Thomas with family

Riad Ksar Al Amal is more than a beautiful riad, it comes with a compete sensorial experience, so much so so that when I passed its doors from the hot and busy spice souk alleys it felt like I entered a completely different world, an oasis of beauty and peace. The building itself has been very carefully designed to give the feeling of living in a small palace (from the hand made decorations to the personalized furniture), in the inner yard there is a pool with running water and trees with singing birds, and there is beautiful smell in the air, to address all senses The stuff is very nice and helpful (one morning I mentioned I like cinnamon in my coffee and they remembered this detail the next mornings) and so is the owner, always ready to help with guidance on things to do in Marrakech or answer questions about the riad’s history.

Our stay at Riad Ksar Al Amal in Medina, Marrakesh was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our hosts, whose kindness and attentiveness made us feel truly at home. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was remarkable, adding a personal touch that made our experience unforgettable. The riad itself is a stunning oasis, beautifully designed with a perfect blend of traditional Moroccan charm and elegance. The exquisite aroma that fills the space, combined with the intricate decor and serene ambiance, creates an atmosphere of pure tranquility. Every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship, making it a true retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. The location has another highlight—just a short walk from Marrakesh’s most important attractions. Exploring the vibrant souks, historic sites, and lively squares was incredibly convenient, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the city’s magic without long commutes. Cleanliness was impeccable, with the rooms and common areas maintained to the highest standards. We truly appreciated the comfort and care that went into every aspect of our stay. And the food—simply outstanding! Every meal was a delightful culinary journey, rich in authentic flavors and prepared with great attention to detail. Overall, this Riad exceeded our expectations in every way. Whether for its warm hospitality, enchanting ambiance, perfect location, or exceptional service, we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Marrakesh.

The property was absolutely beautiful. The staff including the cleaners were very attentive and so helpful and the property was spotless. Breakfast was light, but plenty to set you up for the day. Location was great and everything in walking distance. It was well worth the money we paid and would happily return to such a beautiful riad. Access to the property isn’t possible by car, so there was a short 4minutes walk from the drop off point down an alley way, but the hotel staff helped with our luggage. I have nothing but good things to say about this charming riad!

Nothing!

I had a truly wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and had such a welcoming atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, which made my experience all the more enjoyable. A special thank you to Mustafa, the manager, for his outstanding hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during my stay. His kindness and professionalism made a big difference — thank you, Mustafa! Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back!

A Magical Christmas in Marrakesh – Unforgettable Stay at a Riad Ksar Al Amal My wife and I had the privilege of spending Christmas at a truly exceptional Riad in Marrakesh, and it was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the warmth and dedication of the Riad’s staff, whose kindness made us feel more like honored guests than mere visitors. The Riad itself was a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility, a perfect blend of traditional Moroccan charm and modern comforts. Every corner seemed thoughtfully designed, from the stunning courtyard and its fragrant roses blossoms to the cozy, tastefully decorated rooms that felt like our own private oasis. Each morning, we were treated to a sumptuous breakfast that was as delightful as it was beautifully presented, with the added touch of freshly brewed mint tea that became a cherished ritual. The staff’s attention to detail was unparalleled—whether it was their willingness to accommodate special requests, offer insightful recommendations for exploring the city, or their warm smiles that greeted us after every adventure. Spending Christmas at the Riad felt nothing short of magical. The peaceful atmosphere, coupled with the genuine hospitality of the team, made it a celebration we’ll remember for a lifetime. Marrakesh itself was enchanting, but this Riad truly elevated the experience. We cannot recommend this Riad highly enough and are already dreaming of our next visit. To anyone considering a stay here, know that you will be met with unmatched kindness, elegance, and an experience that lingers long after you leave. Thank you for making our holiday so special!

We had to leave this amazing Riad.

We had the most phenomenal stay at Riad Ksar Al Amal! The whole riad was spotlessly clean and tidy, and our room was turned over every day. You can tell immediately on stepping in that the riad is really cared for, and the candles and water flower scents throughout the space are a lovely touch. The atmosphere is very relaxing and there is a lovely dip pool to cool off, which was great after spending time in the souks! Breakfast on the terrace was fantastic. Everything was very fresh and homemade, including the yoghurt. We had dinner at the riad one night as well which we would highly recommend (Friday is cous cous night *chefs kiss*). The riad itself is in a great location with close proximity to Bahia Palace and the souks - we did read online that the neighbourhood wasn't ideal which we were a little concerned about, but we honestly had absolutely zero issues during our stay and the local people were very friendly and welcoming. I would like to make special mention of Abdul and his amazing team. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay - they even got me a wee gift and made me a cake for my birthday, which was so sweet. We would not hesitate to recommend Riad Ksar Al Amal to our friends and family, and will absolutely return for another visit. Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

We did an excursion to Imlil for my birthday which wasn't quite what we expected - we didn't realise lunch wasn't included, and that we were actually hiring a driver for the day rather than signing up for a proper tour of the Atlas Mountains. However, this was arranged for us via a third party and does not reflect the riad itself. We had absolutely zero issues with the rest of our stay and would definitely recommend Riad Ksar Al Amal to other travellers.

Beautifully and tastefully decorated Riad with the true charm of Moroccon art and culture. The owner himself is very friendly and so are the staff (Abdul, Ibrahim, and others). The rooms are spacious and every aspect is thought out. The location is perfect, walking distance from almost every destination. We had to use a taxi only twice in 5 days. The breakfast was generous, fresh, and cooked right there in the Riad’s kitchen. Even small touches were done to perfection, such as the daily cleaning which was thorough, and the cleaner even folded our clothes and neatly arranged them in the cupboard. Check in/check out was smooth and the mint tea served was some of the best we had in Marrakech.

Locks could be more substantial.
