Nice Riad with friendly staff. Location I would say is interesting. Lots of run down buildings around but the Riad is like an Oasis. It's about a 20 min interesting walk to the main square. Breakfast was good. No door on the bathroom was my only little complaint.

We stayed at the Riad in September.
The Riad is lovely, in a popular area of Marrakech where you can enjoy the market and to bargain in the souk. It is ideally located in the center of the Médina.
The Riad is perfectly clean and the employees are really kind and helpful. It is a typical propriety decorated in the pure Moroccan style. The bedroom was well furnished and decorated.
The terrace on the top was really enjoyable. It is a pure moment of relax and happiness to enjoy the Jacuzzi by night.
We decided to have diner twice. The chicken tajine and the couscous were delicious! We also appreciated the breakfasts that were typical Moroccan and varied. Thank you very much Malika!! Your food was extremely tasty.
We really felt at home thanks to Aziz (Responsable for the guests) and Malika (cook). They were extremely helpful and friendly with us, giving us excellent advices. Thanks for the nice service!!
It was a really enjoyable stay and we are gonna recommend this place without any hesitation!!
The only negative points :
No internet connection in our bedroom and on the terrace.
We were really chocked by the behavior of the two French owners of the Riad (Pascal and his wife). They were not treating well the employees and Pascal’s wife was even screaming on an employee in front of the customers... this is definitely not a behavior to have when you are the boss of a riad/hotel.

We are pleased by the willingness of staff to help. We arrived at the Riad around 10pm due to the delay caused by the day trip and have to leave early next morning. During our 10 hour stay in the Riad, the staff prepared our dinner as well as breakfast and helped to hire taxi for us. The Riad is located at the edge of Médina with easy to reach many places. It is very crowded at night market outside. However, it is quiet inside the Riad. The breakfast could be improved.

Riad host was most gracious, entertaining and helpful - directing us where to park a rental car nearby in a secure location and meeting us there to assist us to find the hotel location.
Excellent breakfast and very nice in house Hammam as well.
Finding a single bed bug was the only downside, but as it was the only one could have hitched a ride from other travelers...the mattresses in the family sized room were otherwise very clean.

My poor rating of Riad Alaka is due to one specific incident that occurred during my stay here. I stayed at Riad Alaka for 2 nights 15-16 October and booked a hammam treatment. I was originally told by the manager on duty that the cost would be 15 euros. However, after the hammam was finished and upon check out, the manager on duty (Aziz) told me that it was 15 euros plus an additional 15 euros for local tax, for a total of 30 euros. (This would essentially be a 100% tax.) I contacted various other local hammams in Marrakech and was told that "there is no taxes anywhere you go here , the price you pay includes everything , and not the clients who pay the taxes." As a result, I feel completely deceived and cheated by the manager on duty. Other than him, the rest of the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.
The place itself is traditionally decorated and clean, and the free breakfast provided is very authentic and delicious as well. The location is also only about a 15-20 minute walk to Koutobia/Jama El f’na Square. Had I not been conned by the manager on duty, I would have given Riad Alaka a much better rating. If you decide to stay here, I would highly recommend booking through third-party sites (such as Expedia, Hotels.com, etc.) just to have your booking confirmed and everything pre-paid in full to avoid situations like mine.

The Riad is charming! Pascal, Aziz and their team were welcoming and very caring. From arranging airport transfers to the fabulous vegan meals that Aziz prepared just for me, the experience was exactly what we wanted. The location was in a more local area although close enough to a main road with taxis but being first timers and after exhausting days of sightseeing, we opted to dine in for three nights. Simply wonderful.

My friend and I stayed for 3 nights at this riad and we totally recomend it. The staff was really friendly and helpful, the room was nice and clean and breakfast was amazing. We even had dinner a couple of nights there and the food was delicious.
The location is not very central, around 15 min walk from the main plaza, and just at the end of an alleyway. However, it felt like a totally safe area, it was lit at night and gives you the chance to cross a more local market.

What a lovely find!
If you are looking for a luxurious, quaint hotel where the staff truly cares about your stay, look no further.
Rooms are extremely clean, bed linen changed every day, outwardly food and incredibly friendly staff.
Having stayed in 5 stars cha in hotels such as Hilton and Sheraton, I would rate Riad Alaka higher any day.

A superb riad in the north of the medina. Great location for both old city and nouvelle ville. 20 minute walk to Jemma El Fna or catch a taxi 5 minutes away. The staff were very friendly, helpful and also cooked us some excellent food. Room very comfortable and tastefully decorated as is the whole riad. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends.

Spent an extra night in Marrakech and booked Riad Alaka when our original riad didn't have an available room. Alaka is not in the touristy part of the Medina just inside the city walls on the northwest side at Ave Hassan II gate but it's quiet and safe. With a 20-30 minute walk you can be at the palace, the souks, and other sights with the train station about 30 minutes away. The riad is located on an alley off a main commercial lane, think butchers, fish markets, scooter repair shops, bodegas, etc. Akala's manager, Azzis, was very cordial and friendly during our short stay making us feel very welcome. The riad seems to follow a typical floor plan with an open courtyard, a pool, and upstairs rooms overlooking the courtyard with well chosen appointments and nice architectural features plus a terrific rooftop deck with a working hot tub. A great place a little off the beaten path but well worth a visit. Breakfast follows a typical menu, bread in two or three forms with various condiments, juice, and coffee or tea.

The boutique Riad Alaka is very stylish with classical Moorish architectural details. It is very clean and the staff is friendly. The hectic pace of Marrakech can be overwhelming and this riad's location is just 15 minutes walk from the main Jmaa el Fna market plaza, yet provides travelers peace and quiet in a charming and colorful courtyard setting.

Very friendly hosts. Just a little to far from the main square for our liking. About 20minutes walk. Other than that, nice breakfast cooked every morning for us. We were only ones in the Riad so maybe that is why we weren't given keys to our room and the Riad. Had a small safe to store our valuables. Not a problem as the host/s was always there to open the door, even when coming home late at night.

Great communication from Francoise and asiz from the moment we booked. ArrNged seamless airport pick up despite hour delay for flight. Felt very welcome and as if the place was our own from the moment of arrival. Amazing that suach a peaceful oasis could be located close to such atmosphere and action.

Marrakech was the first city on our Moroccan agenda and set the tone for an excellent trip. Aziz and the other gentleman that work at Riad Alaka are welcoming, kind, professional and extremely helpful. Two days in a row we had day trips and Aziz walked us out to find our bus to ensure we got on the correct bus and weren't left stranded. It was such a kind gesture and one that we appreciated immensely. I started to get sick the last day we were there and they were quick to get me a cup of hot water for my medicine which was much appreciated as well! I would stay here again and would recommend for others to stay here also.
As far as location, it's in a part of the medina we may not have seen had we not stayed there so was really neat to see what everyday life is like there. It is a long walk to Jemaa al Fna, but it's an interesting journey through the winding streets of the Medina!

Stayed at Riad Alaka for only one night but which I stayed there my entire trip.
If you want to get a taste of the old Morocco this is the place for you. It is located right next to the Medina where people are selling all types of wares and food in the streets, but once you enter the riad it is a different world.
The place beautiful and clean. Small pool right in the middle on the ground floor and hot tub on the roof. Eight friends and I rented the entire space. Our host was very humble and gracious and he is also a great chef. I suggest you ask him to prepare breakfast and dinner.

Very charming riad at the edge of the Marrakech medina. The proprietors were very friendly and helpful: they met our cab when we arrived, in order to find the riad; provided maps of the area; set up a cab ride for the train station and accompanied us to the pickup point; and even did a couple of small loads of laundry for us at no charge. The reasons we did not give it a full 5 stars were the lack of cleanliness in the bathroom (the tile around the sink was clearly not really cleaned), and mold found in the bread one morning at breakfast. We would definitely stay there again.
