Riad Alboraq

We had the beautiful ensuite on the ground floor. The staff were so attentive and welcoming and our room was modern but Moroccan inspired. The riad is based in the north of the Medina. It is a lively and interesting area, and it's really quiet in the riad itself. However, you do have to walk down a small narrow street to get to it which might be a bit unnerving at night. The riad only has 6 bedrooms so it's never busy, although you're at the mercy of the other guests on whether or not you have an undisturbed nights sleep. The first night we were kept awake past midnight by some French guests however, after that we slept well every night. You can hear the call to prayer at 6.30am but I imagine that's the same all over the city. We really enjoyed the breakfast, which was served fresh every morning on the beautiful rooftop terrace. The riad door is always locked so no one from the street can access; you just ring the doorbell and a member of staff quickly answers. Overall we were incredibly happy with our choice and would recommend staying at Riad Alboraq.

We were really happy with our stay at Riad Alboraq. The hosts were wonderful, super friendly and helpful with recommendations, bookings etc. The rooms are nice and clean and spacious. Our aircon didn't work, maybe had been turned off for winter but it was still 30c so could have done with it at some points. Its lovely being able to have breakfast on the roof inn the morning. The breakfast is nice and we were always VERY full after. The food is really great - we had a chicken almond pastilla which came with lots of little salads and pastries. One of my favourite meals there, though slightly more expensive but it is made fresh and from scratch. My one disappointment with the riad was the pool was so cold we couldn't use it - its in the shade all day, so not sure if this is something that could be sorted, but it was part of our booking criteria so a shame we couldn't use it. Be wary when trying to find the riad. Some scammers outside told us we couldnt go the way we wanted as they said there was a mosque (there wasnt). He then took us the long way round and forced us to pay around £17 in diram for doing so. Make sure you contact the hosts before to organise them coming to meet you. Its worth putting your data on if your provider allows low cost roaming. Everything else was great. Not too far from the centre, and the riad felt safe. The hosts are willing to help with everything. Would recommend.

Il Riad migliore in cui ho soggiornato durante il mio viaggio in Marocco. La camera, pulitissima e bellissima, così come tutta la struttura. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccezionale così come la posizione, nella Medina ma lontana dal caos La gentilezza di tutto lo staff, accogliente e pronto a soddisfare qualsiasi richiesta. Difficilmente ho trovato così tanta gentilezza nel personale di una struttura. Avevamo necessità di fare colazione prima dell'orario indicatoci e non hanno avuto nessun problema a prepararci una squisita colazione, a parer mio una delle migliori provate durante il mio viaggio in Marocco. Per un prossimo viaggio a Marrakech questo riad sarebbe la mia prima scelta
