Riad Alaka

“Beautiful place to stay!”

We had a fantastic time staying here. Abdul was such a good host, so friendly and very helpful. The food was lovely and the best part was definitely the breakfast! We had the hammam package too, which was amazing.

“Jewel in the Medina of Marrakech!”

Loved our stay in this special place. Unique suite accommodation right in the Medina. Clean, safe, super breakfast (and dinner option if required). Very personal feel to the place. I felt totally relaxed here. All management and staff were excellent. Omar, thank you!

We loved our experience at Riad Alaka. From airport pick up to drop off, we were really well looked after! The Riad is traditionally designed and authentically decorated with lovely soaps, shampoo & body lotion free to use, and purchase! All rooms are different but each includes a kettle, coffee and tea. Lovely peaceful roof terrace, perfect place to chill out after a busy day exploring! It is situated just on the edge of the Medina and walkable to many attractions. We had dinner the first night after hammam and massage, which was very relaxing! The staff, Omar, Mimone, Malika and others whose names I didn’t know are incredibly helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble! Our host, Mr Majoub was very welcoming & helpful in planning our excursions and our driver Abdou was the best! We booked a private guide for our first day who showed us around the souks. A trip to the Atlas Mountains with lunch at a traditional Berber home was also a highlight! We also experienced sunrise on a balloon ride and ended the day dining at a camp in the desert to watch the sun setting! Amazing 🌅

This is a really lovely little Riad which only has 7 bedrooms which are beautifully decorated and very well designed, fresh towels every day and is cleaned immaculately. We enjoyed spending our evenings on the roof terrace which unfortunately no longer has a jacuzzi (however the pool would be lovely in summer, a bit too cold if you are visiting in the winter months) You get a great breakfast every morning which is pastries, bread, orange juice, lovely strong coffee, fresh fruit and yogurt that is very nice. The breakfasts can be a bit repetitive at times - however they are fresh and the staff are happy to accommodate. Location is ideal, it’s a 15 minute walk to the big square and on the way you past lots of lovely restaurants. Where the Riad is there are more locals than tourists, and can be noisy and chaotic but is all part of the wonderful Marrakesh experience. We just felt the Riad was a bit too keen on upselling their hospitality offers which is why we’ve rated it four stars, we ate dinner on the first night and it was excellent, however we couldn’t have eaten the large amount of food they provided every night at 20€a head. It is better to take a jaunt at a local establishment or experience the food market in the middle of the Medina. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and given a lovely cake - however at the end of our stay we were told that we had to pay 20€ for the cake itself in the bill. If you come here, you’ll have an amazing time in a beautiful authentic Riad.
