First stay for me at Riad Alili and certainly not the last! Everything is perfect! The setting is sublime and very well maintained, the decoration is harmonious and inspires serenity from the first steps in the Riad! The team is really fantastic and makes every effort to make our stay an enchanted break! Thank you to Youssef, Mustapha and Ayoub for all their attention, benevolence and smiles! Not to mention Mariam’s delicious cuisine and the benefits of the hamam and massage parlour in the Riad! The icing on the cake, the Riad alili is very well placed in the center of the Medina which allows to visit very easily.

I can't fault any of our stay at Riad Alili. One of the staff met us at our taxi and we had complimentary lunch waiting for us on arrival. The riad itself is absolutely stunning with a pool, jacuzzi and two rooftop terraces! We had the suite downstairs by the pool. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and quiet. Complimentary breakfast by the pool each morning was absolutely delicious! The staff were all so incredibly helpful, welcoming and kind. I would 100% recommend staying at Riad Alili, it was an unforgettable stay. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Here I am back in France after 15 days spent in this little paradise that is Riad Alili. An enchanted parenthesis in the monotony of days. Here the contrast is striking between movement, street noises and the calm and serenity of the central patio. We are struck first by the harmony and beauty of the place, the quality of the decoration. The same applies to the consequences of exemplary cleanliness. The welcome products (shampoo, shower gel, body milk) are of very good quality. The bedding is excellent as are the towels embroidered with the Riad logo and made available Evening meals at the Riad (various tagines, pastilla, couscous, tanjia....) are excellent and varied and offer a very good value Award. (I realized this after a few cravings for meals outside) Fiber Wifi is available throughout the Riad and is of excellent quality. In addition, a Moroccan SIM card to put in your phone is loaned free of charge. Finally, I would add that the smile, the availability of the staff reinforces this Impression of relaxation and happiness that you feel after a stay at Riad Alili. All this is possible thanks to the generosity of Christophe and Sylvie the owners
PS: My review is a bit long, but I’ve travelled a lot and it’s really the first time that there’s no reproach. Go to Riad Alili, enjoy its excellent meals you will not be disappointed.

Excellent riad! Remarkable service! Hospitable and very attentive staff! Beautiful rooms and suites! Very good facilities! Central location in the Medina! Excellent quality of food! Good hammam! Relaxation in the pool and whirlpool!
We were guests at Riad Alili as a group of 7 people. Our stay was very, very pleasant. First of all, I have to thank Yussef and the entire team for their incredible hospitality. Ayoub and Mustapha looked after us excellently and the ladies Hasna, Leila, Mariam and Dounia took great care of our physical well-being and the cleanliness of the riad.
Yussef was always available and organized many excursions for us. The price for the excursions was moderate and the activities were well planned - we even got a riad cell phone so we could call if necessary.
Our youngest daughter celebrated her 16th birthday in the riad and she was welcomed with belly dancing, traditional music and a cake.
You can always get fresh mint tea for free and the bottled water in the rooms and suites is also free.
A visit to the riad's own hammam is also recommended. You can choose from a variety of treatments - all of which are very pleasant.
Finally, I recommend the pool. It is a pleasant temperature and the whirlpool is also heated.
Conclusion: 1A riad in the Medina of Marrakech with top staff, good food and potential for regular guests!

We had already been to Riad Alili. The desire to return to this little corner of paradise was so great that we could not wait any longer.
This little corner of well-being allowed us to experience unforgettable moments in a calm, peaceful and family cocoon in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech, very well located with these shops and restaurants nearby if you wish to have small meals at home. outside the riad.
The interior design has evolved with abundant plantings and trees inside the riad which have now reached large sizes. The suites and rooms have been updated with tasteful local decorative developments.
So, we are always so pampered by Youssef and his team who are always so attentive, respond to our slightest needs and are full of little touches. Very nice services will be offered to you in the very heart of the riad with the hammam, massages, scrubs, etc. Beautiful evenings can be organized with gnaouas (local musicians), an oriental dancer…
In addition, lots of proposals for organizing discovery outings were made to us and we do not regret having carried them out!! I am talking in particular about quad and buggy outings in the desert and the Atlas, camel rides. So we were able to carry out lots of excursions on demand, also including the transport necessary for them.
We were able to discover lots of little touches from the team on our beds each time we returned to the riad. These rooms were perfectly redone every day with small Moroccan cosmetic products in the bathroom. Youssef's team had a wonderful, warm family spirit. Youssef's advice on the Marrakech souk and the artisanal ensemble of Marrakech, located a stone's throw from the riad, with local products of very good quality, were able to guide us in the choice of our purchases.
In the morning and evening, complete, balanced and typical meals (tagine, couscous but also pastilla, trid, barbecue, etc.) were offered to us. We had half board but it is also possible to have full board (morning, noon and evening).
In summary, this week of vacation was a week of permanent well-being for us!!

11 years after our first visit, we returned as a family to enjoy a unique experience! Thanks to the exclusivity of the Riad, we were able to enjoy the entirety of this magnificent building which has only improved since our last visit. The suites and rooms have been recently renovated with great taste. The cleanliness, the comfort of the suite and the various little touches given to us were really appreciated and the telephone at our disposal, a real reassuring bonus during our expeditions. Thanks to the mild weather, we were able to enjoy the terraces as well as the swimming pool and jacuzzi. The vegetation, which is much denser than during our previous visit, makes this Riad a haven of peace where you feel good. Relaxation guaranteed! Finally, the location of the Riad, right in the center of the Medina, and a few minutes walk from Jemaa El Fna square, is ideal for discovering all of the treasures of Marrakech.
We were received like Kings and were pampered throughout our stay by the entire team. The owners, lovers of Marrakech and its region, were wonderful guides and exceptional hosts! Youssef, an excellent conductor, was able to respond to all our requests, organize our comings and goings and give us lots of advice to make the most of our stay. We will not forget to mention Mariam and her excellent cuisine to die for! She knew how to introduce us to multiple traditional dishes, each one more delicious than the other. We will finish by thanking the entire team who allowed us to have an exceptional stay, in an idyllic setting!

Dream stay at Riad Alili! It is faultless whether it is at the level of: Home The cleanliness Kindness Kindness The availability of the entire team Little touches Massages And the divine Moroccan cuisine made on site by exceptional cooks. The breakfasts are plentiful, varied and delicious, always with fresh products.
Christophe manages his establishment with a masterful hand and Youssef sublimes it.
The location of the Riad, in the heart of the Medina, allows you to do almost everything on foot, while remaining in ABSOLUTE peace and quiet!
Marrakech is alive, standing, secure!
Riad Alili is a haven of peace…
We will return to Marrakech but ESPECIALLY to Riad Alili
Thank you for everything

I echo what others have said about this lovely place. It is a calm, serene, relaxing retreat from the vibrant, busy medina of Marrakesh. The team are clearly dedicated to ensuring all guests have a great experience both in the Riad and in Marrakesh more generally.
Things the team did that make Riad Alili unbeatable:
Organised airport transfers Met the taxi and took our bags to and from the Riad Offered complimentary mint tea, coffee and delicious patisserie on arrival and every time we returned after exploring Provided delicious breakfasts and evening meals Arranged activities Made restaurant bookings Helped when we couldn’t find an operational cash machine Explained local culture and customs Kept the rooms and outdoor spaces immaculate at all times Allowed us use of facilities until our late departure time
The front of house team were kind and helpful and always available to help.: Youssaf, Mustapha and Aziz (apologies if my spelling is wrong) thank you for all your kindness and assistance. We did not get to know by name the team members who cooked fabulous food and maintained our room perfectly, but I’d like thank them too for their hard work that helped make our stay so enjoyable.
To sum up, this is a beautiful Riad in a great location run by a team with an exceptional ability to ensure guests enjoy every moment of their stay.

The best of the best. Once you have tasted it, no riad can compete (and hotels, let's not even talk about it).
I went there before that but poor me, I didn't think to leave a review.
The geographical location is perfect, in the middle of the medina, enough to immerse you in Moroccan life. That’s still the ideal of a trip.
We can therefore easily get around on foot.
What can I say about the decoration... It's sumptuous, clean.
The smells that emerge from the kitchens when meals are being prepared captivate you.
The staff is attentive, charming, always with a smile. From the moment we arrive, we are pampered.
My little "favourite", after a little walk around town in the evening, go and sit on one of the terraces and listen to the noise..... SILENCE.
A Haven of Peace that touches the heart.

Everything was perfect !!! Located in the medina but quiet 10 minutes from Jemaa el Fna square behind the door hides a haven of peace with ultra comfortable rooms decorated with fireplaces where the fire adds a warm atmosphere Swimming pool jaccuzi hamam massage on site Thanks to Youssef, well supported by Mustapha and all the others who knew how to make this stay unforgettable and make us feel at home! Don't miss the half board because Maryam the cook is a gem who knows how to highlight Moroccan flavors without any heaviness

Hi!!! We stayed in Riad Alili in July so I don’t know if by March pool is open. But in reference with having wine available, yes. They offered alcohol in dinner and in any occassion. You will never regret staying at Alili. Not only is a beautiful place but the people working there go far beyond your expectations in order to make your stay a memorable one. Enjoy Morocco!!! Is a beautiful country!!
Dear Madam,
Thank you for choosing our Riad,
To be fully honest with you, I would prefer to wait until the month of November to take a booking for one night in case we have the chance to have a request for an exclusive use. If that doesn't happen, we will for sure have availability and I can keep a note of your request and confirm it later on.
Remaining vailable for you
Best regards
Christophe Gambotti owner of the Riad Alili
