The manager of the riad went far and beyond in his services. The location is in the old city centre so a great location. Inside is really peacefull. Great atmosphere!
This riad is located at a walking distance from jemaa El-fnaa square & the riad is located at a place where you can enjoy the real history of marrakech, place was pretty clean & staf Ahmed & Fatima were very nice & cooperative people

Never checked in, poor service
Never got in. The listed hours said check-in until 1am. I messaged the hotel in advance stating that our flight would land at midnight and we would arrive at 1am, which is what happened. Had to pay a local to get guidance from the main street since directions were sorely lacking. Nobody answered the door after knocking multiple times, somebody answered the phone (when a neighbor provided the phone number) and said they would come by but never did. After at least half an hour of waiting we finally knocked at some nearby hotels and one of them (can't remember the name, Googlelocation J2QC+RHP) let us in and provided us a private room and breakfast for $70. I was told the next morning by our new host that the old host had contacted them (not me!) and said we could come by for our 2nd night, but I was not interested after the poor experience. I was never contacted by the hotel myself. Maybe they are better if you show up during daylight hours, but that was pretty bad service considering I had kept them informed as to our plans, and considering that the late night flight arrivals seem to be very common.
Fue una estancia muy agradable, buen desayuno y Amhed nos trato muy bien.

ARNAQUE!
Nous avons réservé une chambre plus dispendieuse et on nous a fait payer avant de voir ladite chambre. Pour finalement constater qu'on nous avait donné une chambre à un coût inférieur de 30 euros par nuit. On a demandé à se faire rembourser la différence par le propriétaire, mais jamais aucun signe de vie aux moments où il devait être sur place, pas de réponse par appel ou par courriel.
Les employés étaient super gentils, un bon service, par chance!
N'empêche que je ne recommande pas cet hébergement, apparemment que le propriétaire sort ce tour plusieurs fois.
Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt! Ahmed war super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Essen war super lecker und die Lage war top. Gerne kommen wir wieder! Danke!
È stata un'esperienza meravigliosa e il Riad Dar Moulay Ali è molto accogliente, pulito ed ha una posizione centrale. Esci e a pochi metri raggiungi la Medina e la piazza principale. Grazie ad Ahmed che è stato gentilissimo e premuroso durante tutto il nostro soggiorno. Di questa vacanza porterò nel cuore la pace di questo Riad. Uscire dal caos della Medina e trovare la pace è una cosa che non si può spiegare.
Unser Aufenthalt hat uns gut gefallen. Das Design des Riads wirkte authentisch und grundsätzlich ordentlich. Handtücher und Toilettenpapier waren vorhanden. Die Haushälterinnen haben jeden Morgen Frühstück zubereitet. Fladenbrot, Honig, Marmelade, Saft, Joghurt und nach Wunsch Tee. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.
Die Matratzen sind eher hart.
Il personale anche se con inglese basico molto disponibile e cortese ottima.colazione, posizione eccellente, madame fatima donna delle pulizie una signora deliziosa
El edificio es muy bonito, el dueño siempre está pendiente por cualquier cosa que necesites, y el desayuno que incluyen es muy bueno y abundante, la ubicación es muy buena por qué no tienes que meterte profundamente a la Medina, el único detalle que no me gustó que todos los días desde las 4 de la mañana comienzan a hacer limpieza del patio y el ruido de la limpieza no deja dormir
An authentic riad in the heart of the old city. Complimentary breakfast in the courtyard was lovely way to start a day of wandering the souks. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Owner neglect
A perfectly located Road in the Medina , yet in need of tender loving care to bring up to a descent standard.The owner has failed to maintain this lovely old place as it has enormous potential under the right stewardship.
Terrible riad! Check-in was unfriendly, full payment in cash for our stay was demanded before we saw our room, no receipt possible. Hotel was shabby, neglected, worn, not so clean. Lights did not work, no proper toilet seat. Noise downstairs started at 3am. All electricity was turned off in the rooms during the night so there was no lighting, (we had to use the light on our mobile phone to use the bathroom), power was not turned on again until we demanded it at 7.30am. We could not shower because hot water was cold, it started as just a trickle then none at all.
Je suis de retour apres 1 semaine au riad moulay ali majestueux .. a 2 ruelle de jamaa el fnaa a cote de galeries .. magasins epicerie .. fontaine calme lumineux g laisse toutes mes affaires pour visiter essaouira et nager dans l ocean..g encore le soleil etoiles ses senteurs et la gentillesse du personnel et les autres

Cuidado
Falaram que aceita cartão, quando chegamos não tinha máquina, tivemos que pagar em dinheiro, e ainda cobraram um valor a mais que não estava descrito na reserva. Cuidado
While the people are nice, I was very disappointed in the quality of the ryad itself. I don't expect a lot in Marrakech, but the room was extremely disappointing. The toilet seat was handmade out of unfinished wood. The fixtures were falling off the wall. There was about 12 seconds of hot water during a cold week in Morocco. I can't recommend this place.
Abdhull was a fantastic host, he was super friendly and helpful, the place was exceptionally clean, I just found it cold but probably due to time of year
À cette période là de l’année, il ne fait pas très chaud surtout la nuit… Donc prévoir un manteau pour le soir.
Dommage que le chauffage ne fonctionnait pas dans la chambre, mais le monsieur qui nous a accueilli nous a demandé si on voulait changer de chambre.
Ce monsieur là est très très bien.
I found this riad to be a calm and lovely oasis. The location is great--everything is within walking distance. Inside, the hotel is very quiet and removed from all the hustle and bustle of the medina outside. Ahmed the manager is very kind and was always concerned that we were having a good stay. The breakfast is good, with more food than we could eat every day and Ahmed was very accommodating to our changing breakfast times. We very much enjoyed our stay here.
Super séjour merci à toute les personnes qui travail mais attention au patron qui remonte les charges pour se mettre l'argent dans cest poche sinon le personnel des gens très bien pas besoin se méfié mais le patron encore une fois attention
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Dar Moulay Ali! With a traditional riad feel the interior is stunning and has an authentic traditional Moroccan feel.
The area is fantastic, being so central in the medina did mean we would hear the mosque at any time of day that call to prayer was on, however, it added to the experience and it was just a short walk to the centre square and just a step away from the souks.
During our time we walked to all the tourist sites, museums, palaces etc and the location of the hotel definitely helped in our ability to do this.
Service, cleanliness etc etc was fantastic, new towels every day, big room, air con if we wanted to put it on and breakfast was delightful. Our host was an absolute angel! Ready to help us out or answer any question we may have.
On the first morning I said I didn’t drink coffee and from then on he remembered every morning to make mint tea just for me! One morning we were rushing and he let us take breakfast on the go. All staff were extremely kind and welcoming, always seeking to say hello even if they couldn’t speak the same language as you!
I had a wonderful time in Marrakech and the riad and the generosity and helpfulness of the owner acting as our host was just wonderful! I highly recommend this hotel.
Thank you so much for having us!
