The staff here are so helpful and polite, they work hard to make sure you’re comfortable and happy plus they’re available 24hrs a day. The location is great, far enough away from the hustle of the centre but close enough to walk into.

A Fantastic Clean Riad with 10 Star service!
Everyone at Riad Mboja was so friendly and helpful. They helped us with things to do (and not to do). Any need we had was immediately handled. The Riad was super clean and very well maintained. The room and bathroom really did look just as fantastic as the pictures. Breakfast was delicious, filling, and fresh. The whole place had a calmness that always made us smile. The roof had a nice view and was refreshing cool at night. The internet was the very fast and we never had issues with Zoom calls or other online needs. We really appreciated the service we got from Imane, Abdo and Saad. Saad treating us like royalty. He is amazing and took care of every detail at breakfast and at dinner. Also, thank you to Fawzi (the owner) for welcoming us at the start of our stay and giving us so much useful information. We really recommend staying at Riad Mboja. If the they have availably you should stay there even if it is more expensive than other Riads - you will not regret spending the little bit more. It is so worth it.

Riad Mboja Chez Alibaba is a very tranquil and relaxing environment, with friendly staff and well-appointed rooms, only a 20-25 minute walk to the Souks and the main square of Jamaa el-Fnaa. Our only criticism was that part of our stay was during the festival of Eid al-Adha, during which there were no English-speaking staff, just a ''caretaker', which created a few issues when the air-conditioning unit in our room failed. However, this shouldn't detract too much from an overall positive experience.

Had a lovely three nights staying here - the Riad is in an excellent location, we didn’t get any taxis during our stay because it is walking distance to all of the main sites. We also used the shuttle transport from the Riad which was very convenient! The terrace is also a lovely place to relax after a long day, and has gorgeous views of the city. All of the staff were very nice and made our stay enjoyable, especially Aziz! He even woke up earlier to provide us with breakfast since we had a flight before the normal breakfast time. Will definitely be staying here again!

8/10 Very Good

Overall it's an absolute gem of a place. Quiet location, lovely friendly staff and a great welcome with mint tea and a map. It is a 16 minute walk minimum from the Jemaa el-Fna square and therefore other main attractions, so bear this in mind if you'd rather be more central! I paid the €15 each way to and from the airport for a transfer and I'd recommend this because it would be hard to find otherwise! Breakfast is 7-10am each day and is a lovely selection of 4ish pastries, orange juice and tea or coffee. I would say the only issue I had was that I came down for breakfast at half 7 one morning as I had to leave just before 8 for an excursion. Noone was around and noone turned up until 6 minutes before I had to leave! So it was very rushed! Also for the airport I left at 07:10 and because the women who cook breakfast weren't there yet, I just had some orange juice and a bit of fruit and got some breakfast at the airport at inflated prices! So maybe I should have given them notice, but also if I've been told breakfast starts at 7am, that's what I expect. The rooms are simple but spotless and have aircon (an essential in summer), a good supply of hot water and clean towels. The only thing it's missing is a hot tub or some sort of pool you can actually get in - I really missed this and noticed that speaking to other travellers who had these, an afternoon dip would have been lovely!

Clean room. Attentive staff. Was disappointed because they advertised that they had a bar. This was not the case. When we arrived, we inquired about wine and they informed us that they never restocked after Ramadan. I respect religious beliefs, however, guests such as ourselves were disappointed. And they should have had alcoholic beverages available at the time of our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful Riad with a great terrace with a view if you climb up one extra flight. It’s close to a Medina entrance so not too far of a walk from transportation. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was coming from a desert tour and Abdelaziz met me at my van at the gate to walk me to the riad. Upon arrival I was given a map and Abdelaziz went through some major attractions and how to get there. Later Yakoub made sure I had heard about how to get around and arranged for their driver to take me to the airport on my last morning. If you request earlier in the day they will serve dinner on the terrace. I did this my last night. The chicken tagine was delicious. I stayed 3 nights. The room was comfortable - small, but big enough for me. It was generally quiet, but the setup of a Riad means you often can hear people talking in the courtyard or when they come in. There was a rooster who called nearby early in the morning, but friends who stayed on the opposite side of the Medina said the same. Breakfast is served 8-10 am. The riad is on a small street just two quick turns off the main market street, so there’s lots going on nearby. I walked everywhere I went for my 3 nights - mostly in the Medina but also to the jardin majorelle. I’d definitely recommend this if you are looking for a Riad.

This hotel was the best place I stayed on my 6 nights in Morocco. Lovely staff, great location for visiting the Medina and amazing food. Upon my arrival I was greeted by reception and given biscuits/small cakes and mint tea, the Aziz then gave me a map of Marrakech and told me all the great places in the Medina to visit and eat for the last night of my stay in Morocco (and only night in the Medina) which really helped make the most of my time. The facilities are fairly basic (such as no pool) but the quality is great and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was great (best of my stay in Morocco) and eating on the rooftop was pleasant. And then the airport transfer was great with being walked to the meeting point. I’ve never felt so compelled to write a detailed review before, but this hotel was perfect - especially for the great price. If I visit Morocco again, I would definitely rebook here and stay for longer.
