Riad Alida

It would be very hard to locate so advise you get a taxi from the airport. Exit arrivals and taxi booking booth is on the right. Pay there (150 MDM) and they give you a ticket to show at the taxi waiting area up the slope across the way. Taxi driver will call a head and riad guy will be outside to meet you. Riad will book taxi for return journey,
Accommodation basic but more than suitable for visiting Marrakesh. It is centrally located and easy walking to main attractions.
Room has no TV or kettle or hair drier.
Breakfast is basic but more than adequate for Marrakesh.
Staff are welcoming and friendly.
The roof terrace is magnificent. Take a look.
Perfectly safe to walk around the city. Just be careful of mopeds that speed around but you soon get used to them and realize no danger. Be brave crossing the roads.

Cute little place at the heart of the Riad. It was nice to experience the rural atmosphere plus decor of the bedroom. The pool not quite for swimming though as it's very small & was a bit dirty.
Good for on-a-budget getaway.

DO NOT BOOK a private tour through this hotel, the guide was disinterested, rushed and on his phone most of the time.
HOWEVER The hotel is nice, it’s definitely 2 star, but the rooms are spacious, the bed is super comfortable and the staff are lovely.
Marrakesh is not pretty, mostly motorbikes and dust.
But. The food is brilliant, we’ve really enjoyed that part, the rooftop restaurant next to the hotel serves delicious food.
The old town which is 2 minutes from the hotel is a winding maze of streets leading to the square…We have been lost every time we have been, (don’t be conned by people wanting to help you find your way, they just want money and don’t help at all)

Nice staff and a quiet location there's a bar restaurant just a short walk away from the front door that's also nice. The rooms are old style but warm and clean there's a few fixes needed but that didn't spoil our experience for our first trip to Marrakech and the shower is amazing in the private wc. We also enjoyed the roof top terrace and will definitely come back to stay here again.

We are just back from a three night break in Marrakesh which we absolutely loved a wonderful city. Riad Alida is located conveniently for the Souk a short 5 minute walk and the main square and the wonderful Mosque. We stayed half board not something we would normally do but only did because we went with friends who had already booked the break before we did. The food was good but very samey you can only have so many Tagines! The breakfast was again OK but very samey and no offer of fruits which I thought strange? The room we had was very Rustic with no windows and was extremely dark and not really to our taste. The room number was 2 on the ground floor. Our friends room on the first floor was so much better. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely visit Marrakesh again but not at Riad Alida.

An authentic riad in the heart of Marrakech. Just a few minutes walk from the markets & souk. Well placed for easy walking access to many top attractions including Le Jardin Secret & the Museum of Marrakech.
The room we had was clean & comfortable with an ensuite bathroom.
We had a half board option and the meals were first class.
Excellent service & lovely friendly staff.

Great location, clean rooms, and very friendly staff!

Very cold attitude of reception desk as if they were doing us a favour.
No basics like water etc provided in the room unless asked for.
Very limited breakfast options.
Specifically they were to coordinate with a Road 60mts away for a transfer and they botched it up at a different level.

Our first impressions of this place weren't great but it's probably not their fault. We arrived very late and had to be met from the taxi in the dark of night and led down a dodgy lookin alleyway by someone who never really explained who he was and wasn't overly friendly or welcoming. Not really what you want when first arriving in a place like old town Marrakesh! However the charm and character of the place won us over quick and the guy on reception was helpful when asking for Wi-Fi and water.
Breakfast was nice, dinner didn't quite hit the mark though. The beef tagine was fairly low quality meat, mostly just bone and fat. We had a much nicer one the following night in town.
I have to mention that I emailed the Riad before coming to ask for a superior room and was assured I'd get one but we definitely didn't. It was adequate but I knew they had much nicer ones and the place was mostly empty most of the time we were there.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, friendly staff and ideally placed for exploring.
Very nice inside.

A pretty and authentic Riad in a great central location, the staff are very attentive and helpful. The breakfast was lovely each morning served around the pool. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for 4 nights with two friends, only a few days after the earthquake which we were a little apprehensive about but we didn't need to worry one bit! The Riad was perfect for us, staff were attentive and the location is great. Very authentic and highly recommended staying here.

Amazing position close to the main attractions. Room are small but not properly clean.
Breakfast is horrible: eggs are cooked in the microwave and orange juice is the powder one.

Excellent Riad hidden down an alley. Very clean with efficient and friendly staff. Plunge pool for the fit (difficult to get out of). Ideal location situated on the edge of the old town. 5 minute walk to the Souks. 10 minute walk to the main square.
