Dalle foto ci aspettavamo una struttura più grande, soprattutto la piscina. Il Riad e molto curato, semplice ma bello. Pulizie giornaliere, colazione buona. Possibilità di organizzare escursioni direttamente con il Riad. Giancarlo e i ragazzi della reception sono stati Super!! Dovendo fare un pezzo di strada a piedi per raggiungere i taxi, ci accompagnavano loro quando i tassisti non venivano a prenderci, essendo un gruppo di sole donne era una sicurezza. Posizione nel vero cuore di Marrakech.

Amazing stay overall

Riad Aliya felt like our home for 6 nights. I don't normally write reviews but I compelled after staying in other riad's in Morocco, we really began to appreciate how amazing this one was. It was mainly the humble hospitality we received from the hotel manager (very genuine man) that made it all worth the stay. The hotel room was very clean and best of all had heat. We went in the end of December, which was quite chilly especially at night.

Orientalisches Flair, träumerisch gemütlich

Riad Aliya ist ein Traum aus 1000 und einer Nacht! Die Räumlichkeiten sind super sauber und gepflegt und in einem einmaligen orientalischen Ambiente! Der Service ist stets zuvorkommend und freundlich, die Anlage super gepflegt! Das Frühstück war ausreichend serviert und täglich abwechslungsreich. Danke!

Ne réfléchissez pas trop. Allez-y les yeux fermés!

Ma femme et moi y avons passé un séjour d'une semaine inoubliable. La patronne, Caroline est très sympathique. Avant notre arrivée, j'avais passé un petit coup de fil pour aviser que c'était nos premières vacances après notre mariage et à notre arrivée, nous avons été surclassés dans la suite corail, sans supplément. Tout au long du séjour, Caro était très disponible et nous a donné pleins de bons tuyaux. Le riad est très joli, bien situé, dans un quartier calme. Le petit déjeuner qu'on peut prendre à n'importe quel heure et les repas sont délicieux et préparés avec amour. Nous ne pouvons pas oublier la gentillesse incommensurable de Hayat et la discrétion de Simon. Franchement, n'hésitez pas. C'est que du positif...

A haven amongst the mayhem

lovely riad in a quiet but interesting location a 10-15 minute walk from the mayhem of the main square. Thought we'd never find it again in the maze of alleyways but once you've done it once it's ok.

Brilliant Riad in a quiet part of town!

We arrived at Riad Aliya the morning after we were due to arrive and we greeted by one of the lovely members of staff who checked us in and made us a lovely Moroccan breakfast. The riad is only about a 10 - 15 minute walk away from Jamaa el Fnaa square and a 5 minute walk from the Saadian Tombs. For us it felt like a real sanctuary from the chaos that is Marrakech and so could not recommend it enough. We were only there for 3 nights and had a wonderful time including a day tour to the Atlas mountains and waterfalls. I would recommend a day trip to escape the madness of the city.

Amazing service

Located close to the airport and a short (10-15min) walk to the main square/souks. It looks recently renovated so everything is fresh and in good order. The staff were all so welcoming and always available to help. I can't compliment them enough for making our stay so enjoyable. Rooms were good sized, clean and comfortable. There is no TV in the rooms (which wasn't a surprise as I've stayed in riads before) but it would have been nice on a handful of occasions when you come back from being out and just want some downtime in your room. The breakfast was tasty and prepared fresh each morning. We didn't book an airport pickup. Upon arrival there is a taxi stand and the fares are all listed on a large board and the prices are fixed and reasonable. To get around during our stay, walking was fine, but for longer trips taxis are plentiful and cheap from the main street outside the medina. We decided to book an airport transfer from the riad for departure for the convenience of not having to carry our bags to the street where the taxis are. Unfortunately our ‘driver’ walked us from the riad through the medina back to the main street where he had parked his taxi (the same place we could have just walked ourselves and got our own taxi for a fraction of the price). It's not a big thing but we felt a little cheated right at the end by that experience. Don't let this put you off though. Overall we had a great time here and the staff were amazing.

Hospitality at it's best

I booked the transfer service from the airport which was a blessing as many locations in the Medina are difficult to find at night. Upon arriving the Riad was quiet. there was no rush to check in the focus was to have me settled and relaxed in my new environment. They entire time stayed I felt that the Riad was a home away from home. I would definitely recommend this Riad to any travellers.

excellent riad in very quiet location

Riad Aliya is perfect for those who want to stay away from the frantic Jemaa El Fna and souks. It is in the lovely Kasbah area only 10 minutes walk from the centre and so nice to return to after a long day. I would however definatley use the riad's airport transfer service on arrival as you would never find it first time round, even if you know the area. The riad itself is beautiful, with a calm and simple style, not overdone. The rooms are quite spacious and well looked after, our room was made up each day with clean sheets and towels and petals on the bed. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, even nipping out to get some cheese for my husband who found the breakfast too sweet. We stayed for four nights and then travelled round the country for two weeks, we would have returned to Riad Aliya for our last 3 nights as we liked it so much but unfortunatley it was booked up.

Not worth staying at this hotel.

We stayed here the night prior to a two day hike in the mountains due to very positive comments we had seen on this sight. However though the staff were initially friendly and engaging we were left disappointed by our stay at this Riad. The morning of our departure, the water had been turned off due to a leakage of some sort. This was done without informing us, apologizing or making other arrangements. We were left without any water for showering and all the staff could say was it was not their fault and hoped we would not write a bad review. There was no attempt at trying to assist in helping make other arrangements, offering a discount or some compensation or added benefit or to help with the situation. eg making arrangements to allow us to bath in another Riad close by. In addition internet access was intermittent and only minimally accessible in the rooms. So while this has several positive points-it was clean and ordered; customer service, with the desire to help with an unexpected problem wasn't there. Definitely not worth the money to stay in this place.

Så fantastisk service og god stemning!

Vores ophold på Riad Aliya kunne næsten ikke have været bedre! Man ankommer i de små gader i medinaen og forventer slet ikke indholdet bag porten til at se så fantastik og stemningsfuldt ud. Riad'et var i rigtig marokkansk stil med en lille pool og en lækker tag terrasse. Personalet var simpelthen SÅ søde og hjælpsomme, og hjælp os flere gange med at komme på sjove udflugter, transport til og fra lufthavnen og gav os tips til vores ophold i Marrakech. Alt i alt et skønt "hotel" (riad) som vi helt sikkert ville overveje at komme igen hvis vi tog en tur til den smukke orientalske by Marrakech igen.

Ett bra hotell i ett lungt område

Rummen var mycket rena. Personalen på hotellet var trevliga, särskilt de arabiska kvinnorna som arbetade där. Vi fick svar på frågor och en del tips. Ibland stämnde dock inte de priser de sa, det gick att finna billigare alternativ än det de sa. Rummen var fina och rena. Frukosten var god och när vi bad om extra saker serverades vi det. Hotellet ligger i ett lugnt område en ganska bra bit från torget och marknaderna. 15 min när man kan vägen. Men det var ganska skönt att inte vara mitt inne i smeten hela tiden. Vårt första intryck av hotellet var inte så bra. Vi hade beställt hämtning på flygplatsen, som aldrig kom. Senare skyllde personalen på varandra. Det slutade med att vi själva tog oss dit, vilket visade sig inte vara så svårt, som jag fått uppfattningen av från andra recensioner. Det var dessutom mycket billigare! Det kostade 80 dh (efter en del förhandlande, stå på er!) att åka från flygplatsen och tog 15 min ca. Säg att hotellet ligger i området Qasbah i gamla staden nära markez el-sahi (vårdcentralen), så hittar de. Därifrån kan folk på gatan visa vägen (men kräver dock en lite slant). Var mycket försiktiga om ni åker på ökenturer med kamelridning. Min man blev avkastad och trampad/sparkad på av sin kamel och blev allvarligt skadad. Vi väntade på ambulans en timme i ökenkylan medan min man var avsvimmad och hamnade slutligen på ett primitiv sjukhus utan hjälp att bistå. Åk inte med "Sahara Expidition", mycket oseriösa och vill bara tjäna pengar.

A relaxing escape from the streets of the old city

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely Riad in the Kasbah area of the old city. It was well located, just a few minutes walk from the main square at Djemaa el-Fna, and a short walk/quick taxi away from all of the old city attractions. The Saadian tombs and Kasbah Mosque were at the top of the street. The Riad provided a relaxing, tranquil escape from the busy streets. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly, with lots of local knowledge to help us get the most from our trip. We were welcomed with a delicious pot of mint tea upon arrival. We opted to stay in the brune room on the first floor. It was clean, spacious, and we got a good night's sleep every night. The facilities are good, with a plunge pool in the courtyard, and a lovely rooftop terrace for breakfast/meals, with sun loungers. We were also able to arrange a transfer to/from the airport through the Riad. One of the best aspects of our stay was that the staff were flexible with the timing of breakfast, and check-out. They also recommended a well-priced spa for a hammam/massage that was a short walk up the street. All in all we had a great time, and thoroughly recommend Riad Aliya.
