the bed could have been bigger

I cannot thank Achraf enough for the way he went above and beyond in making me and my husband feel really welcome and comfortable during our stay, he made us feel like this was home and we had access to the rooftop 24/7 which is where we spent so much of our time and he was so attentive and kind really highlight of our trip, i’ve never been away on holiday where i’ve spent so much time inside the hotel but breakfast was great sun loungers were amazing and the pool was so pretty, it was fairly quiet so it felt like we had the place to ourselves and it was very conveniently located where everything is in walking distance definitely highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay there again in a heart beat and again cannot thank achraf again for his kindness.

The Riad is very traditional, which can be quite loud of an evening if there are guests eating downstairs, or by the pool, which can be noisy if you have had a long day and want to switch off. The Riad location is well placed if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the Medina but is a 20ish minute walk from most places. It is quite hidden down some small private alley ways. I would suggest getting a taxi from the airport arranged by the Riad.

The staff were amazing. Ashraf is so knowledgeable about the area and sat with us to help plan time in Marrakech. The Riad was very clean, with the rooms cleaned every morning. The roof Terrance was an added bonus. The breakfast was incredible also.

It was a little bit further away from the main square where many of the restaurants were. This wasn’t too much of a problem though in the morning as it was quieter and easy to make your way around.

The riad Alboraq was such a breath of fresh air to come back to after a day bargain hunting in the souks.

The location in this area of the old Medina is a little further out, and on arrival it's certainly a little daunting as you go through quiet back alleys. Marrakech is a city of small alleys, certainly in the Medina, and you need a few days to build confidence as you walk around. As a young family confidence at night was a problem, and solo travellers may also find the location to be a little intimidating. The Riad staff are exceptional and will always offer to walk with you to busier areas.

The Riad is absolutely beautiful, well presented and exceptionally clean. The staff are extremely welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Throughout our stay Ashraf and team were available for any questions at any time, always looking to help and offer guidance. Traffic dependent (which you will learn is an interesting part of the Medina), the airport can be reached in 15-20 minutes by car. The Riad requires a small walk of a few minutes to be reached from the drop off location. This location (parking Bab taghzout) is a main meeting point for tours and is also the main route from riad into the heart of the Medina.

Nothing just make sure to tell the taxi men your going to “rue bab taghzhout” for getting back :)

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

Riad Alboraq was the best decision we could ever make. The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was exceptional, especially Aziz and Ashraf were really nice. They were always ready to help us with suggestions about what to visit, to prepare us some delicious mint Tea (one of Moroccan specialities) or to simply have a chat. They were impeccable and they highly contributed to make our experience in Marrakech unforgettable. Riad Alboraq is one of those places in which you would stay forever.

Breakfast was authentic moroccan food- very nice. Staff was super nice the best part about the place. Good architectural design of the riad. Any issues we had or wanted something they fixed ASAP.

Nothing to complain about but if I had to find something, water pressure in shower could be stronger.

Lovely cosy Riad in a great location. The team were great, helpful and very friendly. The Riad itself is in a very quiet area so no noise from the surroundings. Very clean property. I would stay there again.

It was our last night in Marrakech, and it couldn’t end better. Very attentive, they helped us with everything and the food is excellent!

Stayed in January 2024

Breakfast was the same everyday - bread, yoghurt, coffee, tea. Would be nice to have offered an alternative. Location initially seemed scary, wandering down alleys, however by the end of the trip we felt safe and had no safety problems. Noise - it was okay for the first couple of days, but as the weekend approached the Riad started to have a few more people. The door to the bedroom has a gap underneath and around so will let noise in, especially when people are talking outside on the balcony area. Maybe a curtain to across the door would be good to prevent some noise.

Staff very welcoming and friendly - always there to help. Gave us tips on how to handle Marrakesh. Very clean riad. Room was cleaned every day. Very good touches in the room - shampoo, cotton wool. Fresh breakfast in the mornings - or for us, the afternoon at times. Has a roof terrace with sun-beds, our one sunny day we took full advantage and laid out in the sun. Though keep an eye out for pervy locals who stare from other rooftops... Bed warmer in the bed! It was chilly at night, so was perfect and warm. Location - Easy to access Taxis and then all the major sites. Small shops also nearby - but cant comment as didn't buy/eat from them.

The team in particular is wonderful and very helpful, making your stay unique. They help you with all your questions and give you great tips for the area. I even got a cake for my birthday and the room was decorated.

What I would say, is I have never been to a place where everyone wants to sell you something. Be aware that any/and/or every conversation you have will result in you being charged for something or coerced into buying something. Seemingly 'random' conversations struck up with apparent innocence will result in a transaction of some kind. If you are offered directions, this will cost. If you point at something, this is an invitation to a half-hour sales pitch. Which, can be quite robust, and you are pressured (without menace) into buying something.

The staff at the Riad Alboraq could not have been more welcoming or helpful. They offered to come and meet us at the nearest car park and negotiated a good rate for the time we parked our car. (It would have been tourist rates otherwise.) They then guided us back to the property where we were warmly welcomed. The property itself has undergone a refresh and it looked and smelt great. The bedroom was lovely and the bathroom was impressive. The manager organised an official tour guide for us on the first afternoon we arrived. This was a brilliant way to get acquainted with the Medina and have a brief history lesson. We also had dinner here on the last night on the terrace. It was a nice touch and a lovely thing to do, with nice food.

Finding it is difficult. Directions would have been handy ahead of arrival (cannot trust Google Maps)

Nice and clean Riad. Off the main medina traffic.

All was perfect.

We have had an excellent stay at Riad Alboraq. Everything was magnificent, both the decoration and the location, the service, the cleanliness and the breakfasts. but without a doubt the best was the attention from Aziz and Ashraf. The Riad has a new very good WI-FI connection which allowed me to work from the laptop perfectly. We will definitely return when we go back anytime to Marrakech.

We have nothing bad to say about Riad Alboraq.

The staff at Riad Alboraq were exceptional. Aziz and Ashraf were always happy to help, whether our request was big or small. Aziz even walked with us to the shop to translate for the shopkeeper when we needed SIM cards. Both Aziz and Ashraf escorted us to meet our Taxi in the mornings, and they were there in the evenings to escort us back from the pickup point to the Riad. They organized tours for us at our request, and we had a great time. Ashraf was quick to reply to our messages when we had questions while we were away from the Riad. Not only Aziz and Ashraf, the cleaning and cooking crew were very warm and friendly. Our rooms were always clean and the food was absolutely delicious. The location is close enough to walk to the big square, but far enough that it gets a little quieter at night.

The Riad is wonderful as are all the staff. However, Aziz and Achraf were exceptional! Always available and friendly to provide us with the best and make us feel as if we were at home. There were 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The location isn’t a problem but it can be a little hard to find as the Medina has lots of small, winding streets. Taxis cannot drop you directly to the door and people will often approach you to try and redirect you or offer help with directions (in exchange for money) as you try to find your way there. So I would definitely recommend getting the airport shuttle service on your first day if you think you would find this stressful.

Beautiful property. Rooms spacious and clean. Lovely bathroom facilities. Good, working air conditioning. Light but tasty breakfast. Free mint tea. Aziz was looking after us for most of the time during our stay and I must say he was fantastic. The best. He was so helpful and so welcoming, he was able to accommodate every request we had and always made himself available. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever had.

Entrance is not obvious and hidden down a side street so definitely need to be picked up from the parking on the first occasion by the riad hosts.

Ashraf and Aziz were very welcoming and attentive to all our needs. Very relaxing, quiet and comfortable a short walk away from the busy medina.
