The property’s location was excellent, it was clean, and there was room cleaning daily if you needed it. The staff were very kind, and go out of their way if you needed anything. Khaolua whom works there is your new best friend, as soon as you arrive she greets you with a big smile, and gives you a warm welcome to the Riad. Don’t worry about the alleyway you have to go down to get to the Riad, as they are very safe. There is also a beautiful kitten called Snowy waiting for your arrival. Enjoy your stay!

Nothing

The position is quite central. It’s not very easy to locate at the beginning, but once the receptionist shows you the way it’s quite easy. Staff is very friendly and always helpful. Food is quite good!

Taxis cannot enter all the way, so there’s always a path you need to do by walking and might not feel the safest thing to do at night (but we never had problems). The Riad doesn’t get a lot of light, so it’s a bit cold and humid if you go in winter.

I loved everything about this riad! What I loved the most was how welcoming the staff were. They didn't just treat us as guests but as a part of their family! They have helped us in every way even with the tiniest things like setting up a local sim card and giving tips on our way around. They made sure we were comfortable and safe like they would even check on us every time we were out making sure we were not lost and that everything was okay. Shall I say, we gained ourselves a Moroccan family during our trip.

There's nothing to not like really. If you're looking for a traditional Moroccan stay with all that Moroccan vibe then this is the place! Run by a true Moroccan family! But if you're wanting all the amenities that most high end hotels would offer, then this isn't it.

One term for this lovely little hotel is 'Moroccan cozy'. Running against the trend in the neighbourhood of new expensive Riads with European-faux-Moroccan minimalism (and European prices), this Riad, that only opened earlier in 2023, lovingly celebrates the crammed aesthetics of a middle-class Moroccan extended family. The breakfasts and dinners (that must be ordered earlier in the day) are healthy and exceptional as is the large, two-tiered terrace where meals are served. The second Riad operated by this family, this tranquil address is at the end of a long almost mythic, pedestrian alley. This is a perfect location for cultural tourism on foot in Marrakech. Taxis can only go to 100 metres from this hotel so with much baggage, look for an elderly porter with a two-wheel cart by the taxis with a two wheel cart and be generous (suggested: 50 to 100 dirhams as in €5-10).

Some of the adjacent streets are crowded and sometimes dominated by tourists. Fortunately, this long passage, with this hotel at the end, is an oasis of tranquillity.

We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Lalla Marrakech! If you are not sure what a riad is, please do your research so you know what to expect as far as the construction of the house -- Riad Lalla is built as all typical riads, with a square patio/courtyard in the middle and two floors above surrounding the square, looking down into the courtyard. There are 7 or 8 guest rooms, total. The rooms' doors and windows open into the center toward the square patio (not to the outside walls) and rooms are located on each level of the riad. There is also a lovely rooftop terrace that has a beautiful view of the mosque's minaret at night. It might seem dark in the building on the bottom floor, but that is the way riads are constructed to help beat the heat. Our beds at Riad Lalla were comfortable, and our room was cleaned and tidied with fresh towels every day. The absolute best part was the fabulous family who owns and runs the riad. Yusra, the daughter, texted with me through Booking.com before our stay, and she happily accompanied me to the ATM when I first arrived to show me where it was and how to get to and from the riad. Her brother Adnane was attentive to our every need. He was very friendly and helped me practice my French every day. The breakfast was a typical Moroccan breakfast of msemmen, braghrir, and batbout, and when asked, Adnane happily explained what they were and how to eat them. The most enjoyable part of our visit to Marrakech was having long and interesting conversations with Adnane and his cousin about life in Morocco! One last suggestion: Riad Lalla offers an airport pick-up service, which I recommend, as initially the location seems a bit confusing to find. It was super easy to have the driver pick us up, then Adnane came and met us (you have to walk about 100-200m from the nearest parking lot.) However, after Yusra showed me the path just once, it really was very easy to find and the neighborhood became very familiar.

Nothing -- we loved everything about our stay! As another reviewer mentioned, if you are looking for a luxury hotel with lots of amenities, then book at a luxury hotel. But if you are looking for an authentic experience with a personable and friendly family in a clean, comfortable environment, then Riad Lalla is the best! As with almost any experience in a foreign country, your efforts to connect with the locals are generally rewarded, and that was certainly the case here!

Perfect location, within the Medina and yet not in the center were the Souks are, but still within a walking distance into these vibrating busy area. Khaoula and Adnane were very very helpful with everything we needed.

Would have been nice if you could have the breakfast earlier as 08:30, especially when a day trip is planned

We were welcomed earlier than the arranged check in. They let us sit on the rooftop and made us mint tea and an amazing platter of local food whilst our room was prepared. Every day our room was cleaned and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were eager to help at every point. They were very knowledgeable about things to do and how long it would take to do them, so we could squeeze the most out of the time we had there. They promptly printed out our boarding passes the day before we left as we didn’t realise that digital passes didn’t work at Marrakesh airport. A great and authentic stay from start to finish.

We were very happy across the board! 😊

Close to the souq area of the city. They offered good moroccan style of breakfast. Special mention to Adnan, he is very helpful, well mannered staff and accommodating to my questions. He met us early in the morning in the alley and offered his personal adaptor for us to use. ❤️

It will be hard to navigate, specially if it’s ur first time to visit the Riad.

Our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, everything was very clean, and breakfast was amazing! Adnane, the manager, was so friendly and accommodating to us even though we arrived past the check-in window and woke up late for breakfast! He really made us feel welcome for our first time in Morocco! We would absolutely recommend this sweet, family-owned and operated riad to anyone!! Be sure to check out the rooftop - the view of the city and the Koutoubia Mosqué is wonderful.

Nothing!

Pretty much everything was nice. Clean, new, amazing decorations, happy and respecful and energetic hosts. If you ask something, they just do it :)

1- They dont give you a key for the main door, which means you need to ring the bell everytime to get in. This is not optimal since it disturbs other rooms, especially when you arrive late. (or when somebody arrives late, they wake you up with the bell) 2- Breakfast was amazing and delicious, but service is a little bit caotic. One day you get the coffee with the breakfast, next day 10 minutes later, unfortunately no standart.
