Me and my partner loved everything about this place. It's cozy and peaceful, with beautiful interior decoration. The staff were super attentive and gave us great recommendations for exploring the area. We enjoyed breakfast on the roof while soaking up the sun!

it was in the middle of marrakesh, and a 4-6 minute walking distance from museum of marrakesh. the rooms were great-sized with lovely bed linen, a complementary bottle plus rose petals, nothing too much trouble.

The staff were attentive and helped us navigate
The bustling streets of Marrakech with ease. The decor of the riad was stunningly traditional. The room we first received had a lingering smell that needed to be addressed. A nice experience.

We stayed here for three nights and really enjoyed it. As others have reported, the bed is softer than expected and we really appreciated this. Our suite had a spa bath but no holder for the flexible shower head. Despite this, taking a shower sitting down in the spa bath was not a problem. We had breakfast on the roof-top terrace which was very nice. The breakfasts are traditional Moroccan with fruit, pancakes, bread and jams. The staff are very friendly but only the boss Hamid speaks any English. We managed OK but had to explain what we were asking for a few times to get the message across. We told Hamid that we needed to pay with credit card a few days before we left and he said his connection was not working but should be OK by then. However, when we went to pay he said the connection was still down and wanted cash. We explained that we had no option for that amount of cash at that time and after some head scratching Hamid took us to another Riad and we used our card there. You may want to check with Hamid on arrival if his credit card connection is working.

The staff , professional and friendily, ever ever smily and quiet, the location in the middle of Medina and not noicing, near all souks, musees and places to see. I think I choose it by fhotoes that showed an ancient house, luxury and elegant, fine old style; it is so!, I loved it very much.! There is an hammam and it's also a nice, modern and confortable terrace, We have had tween beds , very confortable, even if in ancient style! Many thanks to Amid and Aziza for respectful kindness.
A thing not exclusively for Riad Alhambra, but for over all Medina places, no name on the streets, people don't use in any case maps, many taxi drivers said no, they didn't know were to go.... Plus, in the Medina any groups of kids, like mosquitos, more and more aggressive, pretend to accompany you at the hotel that they don't know.. Solo una cos, non esclusiva del Riad Alhambra, ma vale per tutti i luoghi della Medina; non ci sono i nomi delle strade che si possono leggere sulla mappa, la gente non usa le mappe, molti tassisti confessano di non conoscere quell'indirizzo; per di più, dentro la Medina nugoli di ragazzini ti seguono, soprattutto la sera, e ti piombano letteralmente addosso se si accorgono che stai cercando di orientarti...io credo che sia un problema di ordine pubblico che tutti i commercianti e osti potrebbero cercare di risolvere.

I stayed for a couple of nights, primarily to explore the vibrant local culture and sights. The room I had was very spacious and kept clean every day, which I truly appreciated. I enjoyed the central location, making it easy to stroll over to nearby attractions like Le Jardin Secret and the Museum of Mouassine.

Hamid, Aziza & Fatima were fabulous, and my wife's and my only regret is that we could not marshal enough French to really get to know them. The riad was immaculate; the service, flawless; the breakfasts, wonderful; and the privacy, peace and quiet, all one could ask for. Staying in a converted Moroccan mansion added much to our Marrakech experience, as did staying in the middle of the medina adjacent to the souks and near to many sights.

100% recommend for one night
Charming riad, really good hospitality, with an attentive staff who greeted us with refreshing mint tea upon our late night arrival and offered us invaluable tips on navigating local attractions while staying only a 20-minute walk to the bustling main square.
Not a single complaint.

The roof terrace is really good, offering beautiful views that make for perfect sunset moments. Each room showcases unique, elegant decorations that give it all a cozy and authentic feel.
The location has its drawbacks-it's a 7-minute walk to the nearest taxi drop-off, which can be a hassle. The absence of staff on the terrace means it could feel underutilized, as there's potential for drinks and refreshments to be served there. Be prepared to awaken early due to the nearby call to prayer, which might not suit everyone's sleep schedule.

Would recommend for a short layover.
Comfortable room, attentive staff, with the really good convenience of being only a 15-minute walk from the main square where all the vibrant market activity happens.
Can't think of anything.

The traditional decor created a lovely atmosphere, and homemade pastries at breakfast were a good treat. Ishmael was attentive. Having to walk seven minutes to reach a taxi stand was inconvenient. Despite the charming terrace, it would have been nice if drinks were served there, as it felt largely unutilized. The double charge for our stay created considerable hassle in securing a refund.
