Riad Alena

Beautifully designed, cosy and very charming. Louis and his team are wonderful, so helpful and really looked after me. I was travelling on my own and l can’t wait to come back. Albas breakfast was exceptional and I slept like a log in the super comfy bed. Thankyou so much for making my stay in Marrakech so lovely .

I stayed for a week with friends in October and we all really enjoyed our stay. The riad was a great base to explore from and couldn’t have been a better location for us, so close to the medina and with some nice restaurants and bars nearby. Staff were lovely, welcoming and always helpful. The breakfasts on the roof terrace were delicious too – particularly the shakshuka! All of our rooms were spacious with beautiful Moroccan decor and everywhere was really clean. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Recently stayed before Christmas and this newly renovated riad has been finished with such charm and taste! Warm, vibrant and welcoming. An oasis of calm after navigating the bustling souks…!! Really helped capture the spirit of the city, and in such luxury! The food was sensational but more importantly as were the staff!! Our eccentric host Louis was full of life and the lovely Abla and Soulaimane made sure we wanted for nothing. A real gem… The place to stay for sure!!

My girlfriend and I stayed for a few nights and it couldnt have been a better decision! We arrived in the evening and were greeted with the beautfiul dappled light from the traditional lanterns and huge smiles from our host Louis. We stayed in the green room which was incredibly charming, comfy and so well decorated and once we put our stuff down we ventured to the roof to catch the last of the sunset over a quietening Moroccan evening. The place is a short walk to so much goodness, and Louis never fails to recommend the best...Rooftop bars, brunch spots, hidden dinner treasures, best routes to the souks, you name it... although to be honest we rarely ventured out for food as Suleiman and Abla were providing it in-house! Honestly food and service doesn't come much better.. From Pancakes and fruit at breaky to homemade pizzas at lunch, traditional tagine at dinner and sweet treats beyond belief. To sum it up, if your looking for somewhere to feel like home in an awesomely busy, culuraly rich city, then look no futther, Riad Alena for the win...everytime. Thank you Louis, Suleiman and Abla we will be back!

We had an excellent time at Riad Alena! We were there for the week for a friend's wedding. The staff were exceptional; Louis was accommodating whenever we needed anything, and he went above and beyond to let us know about the best things to do in the city and places to go outside the city. The food was extremely high quality; my better half is a chef, so our standards are high. Alena is a fantastic boutique hotel. Thank you for such a memorable trip.

The staff are wonderful and will make you feel right at home. There are super friendly and are there to make sure you are looked after whenever you need something. Such a great base to be able to then explore this amazing place from. Very clean and also very peaceful location. Easy to get to and from.

Stunning location and extremely friendly hosts. The overall experience at Riad Alena was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived until our departure, every aspect of our stay was flawless. The ambiance, combined with the exceptional service from the hosts, made this trip one for the books. I am already looking forward to booking my next stay here, and I only hope that it will be available when I plan my next trip. It's a popular spot for good reasons, so I'll definitely be planning ahead to ensure I get to experience this wonderful place again.

We absolutely loved every moment. The staff were exceptional. The food delicious. The decor to die for. The hotel is very clean and decorated beautifully. We felt very safe and completely at home. We’ve already booked to return with friends. Thank you.

We couldn’t have had a more lovely time when staying at Riad Alena. We were out there for New Year’s Eve and had the most fantastic meal cooked for us by Amla. The host was fantastic, the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed. We were recommended fantastic places to eat and wonderful things to do. It was more like staying in a hotel then what the description makes out. The rooms are turned down to perfection. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Oh and the location was just round the corner from the buzzy part of town, but the street itself was calm and quiet. I would definitely recommend this as either a place to go with friends or a romantic trip. Thank you again to all the hosts!!!
