Riad Dar Alhambra

“A sanctuary within the bustle of the Medina.”

We loved our stay in this Riad. It is authentic in design and has been beautifully decorated. Each of the rooms are unique in decoration and we stayed in a lovely suite. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable and although the rooms are naturally cool, it qas a relief to hVe thd air conditioning when you came back jn from the Medina. The rooftop terrace is delightful for breakfast and to sit and read a book. Ishmael was on duty for the whole week we were there and was the perfect host. He was very helpful with advice and suggestions of places to visit as well as assisting us with our taxi to the airport. Although we did not eat at the hotel in the evenings, the breakfast of pancakes, fruit, bread and omelette was a perfect start to the day. On several occasions, with notice, Ishmael arranged an early breakfast for us when we were going on trips. The location is perfect, close enough that within a short 15min walk you are at the main square, but far enough away that you can escape into the sanctuary of the hotel at the end of a hot busy day. It is within very easy reach of all the main sights. The mosque nearby is currently closed for refurbishment. Despite the noise of the medina streets, it remains quiet, cool and peaceful within the walls of this riad. This was a perfect hotel for an authentic Moroccan stay in Marrakesh. Highly recommended.

The accommodation has been very tastefully restored by the currant owner ,and the roof terrace is exceptional for relaxing or like us making new Friends. I was traveling with my active but aged mother of 79 who had a very well equipped room over looking the inner yard and Ismail and his staff looked after her like a princes Ismail Showed me some of the other rooms, on change over as we had booked a week and all the rooms are very nice with traditional feature's. we will definitely God willing return as Marrakesh is a city unlike any other. The location is ideal for the Main Attractions.

“A great experience”

Room was excellent, comfortable and quiet. Service from Ismir and the team was second to none. Ismir himself was always available and never seemed to rest, always available to help and advise.

Room was excellent, comfortable and quiet. Service from Ismir and the team was second to none. Ismir himself was always available and never seemed to rest, always available to help and advise. The Riad was a little way into the medina but was about 5 mins walk from one of the central drop off / pick up points in Marrakech so was handy for airport transfer and also organised trips. It was also only 15 mins from the main square with the market and a wide choice of restaurants and stalls both there and on route.

Lovely and clean traditional road. We felt well looked after and nothing was too much trouble for Ishmael who was on front of house most of the week. 2 members of our group had to leave eaeybsie to bereavement and they couldn’t have been more helpful - booked them an airport taxi and carried bags to the meeting point. The Riad has a gorgeous roof Terrance where we ate breakfast and drank wine in the evening. The 5am call to prayer was so lovely to hear (mosque directly across road). It’s a haven inside from the noise and hustle of the streets outside! Fab restaurant le jardin is very close by.
