Everything was great! Exceptional staff- nothing was too much trouble. Delicious and plentiful breakfast. Stunning room and bathroom, absolutely spotless, and beautiful communal areas- the log fires were a wonderful touch at New Year when evenings were cooler. I also appreciated the use of the roof terrace during the day.

We had a fantastic stay at Riad Alma. From the moment we arrived, Ahmed was incredibly helpful and welcoming. He arranged our airport transport smoothly, met us at the taxi drop-off point, and personally helped us with our luggage, which made the arrival stress-free. The rooms were very clean and well equipped with all the necessary amenities. The riad itself is calm, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Once you step inside, it feels like a quiet escape, you would never guess you’re in the middle of old Morocco. Breakfast was served fresh each morning, adding to the overall relaxing experience and calm environment throughout the stay. Ahmed was always available whenever we needed help or advice, and his support really made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay.

6 stars! Outstanding experience will return

Absolutely outstanding stay at Riad Alma cannot thank the team including Ahmed enough for making me feel so welcome, so relaxed, so pampered. I am well travelled and can say this is one of the BEST stays I have ever had. From the minute I arrived and Ahmed assisted with bags, choosing a room and dinner I just felt so happy and chilled out. The room was just stunning, immaculately clean and decorated so beautifully. The bathroom was spacious with beautiful artwork and details- all a modern touch on the traditional. The terrace is divine and I was served my own dinner there and Ahmed even went to the trouble of bringing up a speaker for ambient music. The wine was lovely (and well earned after summiting Mount Toubkal that morning). The spa…. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! I felt like a new woman, three hours of treatments left me feeling like I was walking on clouds. Thank you so so much I don’t know what more to say- a 1000/1000 experience, 6 stars!

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.

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 :)

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.
