Lush riad
This is a really lush riad. Our superior room was small but very stylish and comfortable, with beautiful surroundings and lush amenities. Would absolutely come back here.
Lauren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I booked for our 35th Wedding Anniversary Trip to Morocco and chose the Riad Alma in Marrakesh as the place to stay for its charm and location close to the palace and it being in the Medina. Our booking was for 11 days and we were lucky to have Ahmed as the Ried Alma Manager and Concierge. The Riad is run as a hotel but you receive personal service of the highest quality. The amenities of the dining areas to choose from, the pool, the lounges from the first floor to the roof and its great views were well worth after a hot long day of excursions to the Atlas Mountains and to the seaport of Essaouira. The staff is wonderful from the meals served and the services offered such as the Hamman massage. But the Concierge services offered by Ahmed were invaluable for we had 6 excursions from Riad Alma and all claimed by email and text that they would be picking us up at our Riad and at the last minute they would change the pick up to a distant location! Ahmed, saved the situation by talking to each of the excursion company’s owners/managers/drivers to have them uphold their agreement to time and place of pickup and return. He is outstanding person and one of the best manager/concierge I have come across in all my years of travel. We loved our room and the staff was perfect in the meals and cleaning. We also appreciated the laundry services. So complete your stay and give Ahmed and his staff a try at the Riad Alma.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, safe and the atmosphere was unique. The manner of the personnel was discrete and respectful. The breakfest was good with fresh fruits but always the same. So it became a little bit boring. The only minus was that our room was in two floors and you had to climb upstairs to the bathroom.

Amazing stay at Riad Alma!
Loved the local scene, kids playing in the alleys, locals going about their daily busy routine... Riad Alma was very clean, well organized with an authentic moroccan feeling. Ahmed was extremely professional and helpful, could not praise him enough. Breakfast was fresh and the ambiance in the interior garden was surreal with the birds chirping. Can't wait to go back :)

10/10 Exceptional

Ce séjour restera un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de voyage, avec tous ces petits "plus" qui font que celui-ci sort de l'ordinaire et prend définitivement le statut "d'exceptionnel" et d'incomparable... l'accueil est tout simplement "princier", on se sent attendu, et tout est mis en œuvre pour vous le démontrer : bouquet de (31!) roses posé sur le lit, bouteille de rosé au frais en guise de bienvenue, chambre au-delà de l'impeccable... et quel service !! discrétion, délicatesse, tact, disponibilité... pas assez d'adjectifs pour le qualifier... le cadre reste magique et ce riad est décoré et aménagé avec style et sans fioritures... bref, on s'y sent bien... j'ai longtemps hésité avant de publier cet avis, histoire de garder égoïstement cette adresse hors-pair, mais je ne peux pas m'empêcher de partager cette expérience, ne serait-ce que pour complimenter encore une fois tout le personnel pour leur professionnalisme et leur extrême gentillesse...

Long weekend
My wife and I recently returned from a long weekend in Marrakech. We pondered on several Riads but decided to go with Riad Alma based on its excellence reviews. On arrival we were not disappointed, we were welcomed into the opulent Riad by owner Maurad, whom really couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. Location was ideal for us, nestled in the less busier south Médina but only a 15minute stroll to the Jamaa el fna square. A truly wonderful eye opening trip enhanced by the beautiful Riad Alma.

Oasis of calm
This is a lovely Riad to the south of the Kasbah. Our room was of a generous size with a large, if somewhat firm, bed. The room had a shared verandah, that overlooked the courtyard containing the small plunge pool, a sizeable en suite with shower and plenty of wardrobe space. The hotel, which is really a large house, is located at the end of a series of narrow lanes and thus away from the noise and chaos of the old city centre. This does have the drawback that it is a fair walk to the main square and souks (20 mins) and to the Ville Nouvelle (3.3 miles or 1hr walk) but taxis are available for most of the way at reasonable rates if you haggle. The staff were absolutely brilliant and always eager to help. Food in the Riad was very good albeit limited in choice. Nevertheless, they always were attentive and on two occasions insisted we have lunch on the roof terrace so we could enjoy the sunshine.

Riad tranquillo e romantico
Riad molto accogliente, perfetto per un weekend romantico. Localizzato nella zona di Kasba, parte residenziale a soli 10 minuti dalla Medina. Il riad davvero tipico stile marocchino, molto bello e pulito. Le colazioni buonissime tutto preparato da loro servite o all'interno del riad oppure sulla loro terrazza panoramica. Lo consiglio priorio:)

Memorable stay
We stayed at Riad Alma for a week and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. Our room was beautifully decorated with outstanding attention to detail. We had a large terrace overlooking one of the central courtyards which had a pool. Mourad, the Riad manager was extremely helpful. He gave us a map on the first day and explained to us where all the attractions are. He was always available and very helpful whenever we had questions. The three ladies working at the Riad were also very friendly and they served us a delicious breakfast on the terrace and in the courtyard. They also cooked dinner for us as we got there late and served us breakfast early when we had excursions. We were fortunate to meet the owners, Pierre and Samira and like the rest of the Riad Alma team were very hospitable, friendly and helpful. They also invited us to join them and some of their friends for champagne on the terrace. The hotel is an oasis of peace in a residential area compared to the hustle and bustle of . It is situated just a 10 minute walk to Jamma Al Fina. And yet as soon as you step in the alley that leads to the Riad you are in a totally different world. We also loved the fact that because it's in a residential area we were mixing with the local people rather than being cut off from the true Marrakech. We would like to thank Mourad, Samira, Pierre and the rest of the Riad Alma team for making our stay in Marrakech one to remember.
