Dar Moulay Ali

Ottimo Riad in posizione strategica a 10 minuti dalla piazza... personale gentilissimo e disposto ad aiutarti in tutto.

The location of the hotel is incorrect on google maps which made it quite difficult to find while in the confusing medina. It is approximately 5 minutes walk away from the spot, which is a nuisance. Upon arrival, the owner stressed the payment of a tax (5 euro/day) and asked us to pay in cash, then immediately pushed excursions that were higher than market value on us. He is a creepy fellow and a bit on the shady side. The hotel manager is a sweet man and very kind, and cooks a terrific breakfast. He is very accomodating and helpful when he is around. The water in the shower takes quite long to get to a decent temperature, and the beds are quite uncomfortable. The safe did not work but he did give us the key upon request which was good. The proximity of the hotel to the square is great, but beware of shady characters if walking home late at night. Overall, the stay was decent and of good value. The place is not ideal but certainly not overly expensive for what it is. The owner is a weird dude but as long as you keep away from him, you’ll have a fine stay.

We had a very happy stay in this riad. Friendly staff, and a peaceful safe place to return to after sightseeing and browsing in the souks. Central Heating worked well, which we needed in February, when mornings and evenings were chilly. Comfortable, clean rooms all open onto the central square courtyard so typical in Marrakech. A white ornate balcony runs all the way around the upper level, also looking over the courtyard. Palm trees and creepers stretch up to the blue sky above, a pool lies peacefully in the centre, inviting you for a plunge at the end of a hot day. Breakfast is in the courtyard is fresh round loaves of bread, honey and jam, traditional Moroccan pancakes, and an omelette straight from the stove. Freshly squeezed orange juice and copious coffee and tea. Dar Moulay Ali is a perfect base for visiting anywhere in the City, with its palaces, museums and gardens. Also the tanneries. It is to the north of Jemaa-el-Fna, and walkable distance to the Majorelle garden.

An oaisis in a busseling location. Beautiful accommodations and a wonderful staff. A bit difficult to find even using Google Maps.

A little difficult to find as Google maps had the wrong location, it is in an alley off rue sidi el yamini. once we found the place (with the help of a local who requested a tip) we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. Ahmed was very kind and helpful. The hotel is as pictured, no nasty surprises. It is located very close to the main square yet still quiet and peaceful inside the riad.

This was the second time that we stayed here and I will keep coming back. The riad is very peaceful and tranquil which is well needed after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The rooms are cleaned every day and there is a roof terrace that you can use to soak up some rays and relax.

The hotel staff, Ahmed and Fatima ,were great always willing to help 10 out of 10 for their hospitality. Good location, safe, quite area with local shops minutes away. Nice room size with very comfortable beds (I normally hate hotel beds). Good breakfast however, it was same everyday which did not bother me too much. Just don't expect breakfast buffet like a 4 star hotel. Only reason would give the hotel 4 out of 5 was the wireless internet was poor. Can get cold at night so make sure you put the heating on before you leave in the evening.

The riad is a little tired and needs some updating. But for the price, location, quiet rooms, room size and friendly service it it is a very good value. Hamand provided great service to the guests.

This is a traditional Moroccan house converted into a hotel, like so many in Marrakesh, which is quite nice with rooms around a courtyard. They overbooked the hotel; so, they made me stay in an inferior one next door, managed by the same people. That one had also dorm rooms and the problem with the courtyard that looks nice is that everyone can hear any noise anyone makes sitting in the courtyard. After the first night, they put me in a nice room in this one I am reviewing. No dorms here and was quite quiet. It is located in the labyrinth of the medina, the heart of Marrakesh. If you order dinner at breakfast, you will be given a HUGE and excellent dinner. If you are two, order one and split it. The one big problem I had here was the very poor internet service. It might have been a Marrakesh thing, rather than this hotel in particular.

very good location and good, polite and kind staffs. I suggested to stay here for your visit of Marrakesh.
