A lovely riad that accepted our reservation on extremely short notice after having to leave our previous 'hotel' (Le Relais De Marrakech) due to unsatisfactory standards. In contrast, Riad Mboja had welcoming staff that went above and beyond to accomodate us, an extremely clean room/bathroom, free breakfast every morning, and a lovely terrace to enjoy. Extremely happy to have stayed here.
The only 'negatives' that may be important to know:
- The room was quite small. It was managable for us but may not be suitable if you need something more spacious.
- Sound is transmitted quite easily around the building so may not be well-suited for light sleepers
- It's located on quite a busy street, however, we didn't have any problems with noise from outside during our stay.
Overall 10/10 and would definitely recommend.
The Riad was beautiful and a great base for our city break.
One road to the main square and all other attractions within the medina were 15 mins walk away.
The staff were super friendly and helpful and we even met the owner on his weekly visit to the Riad who again was friendly and helpful.
The breakfast was traditional Moroccan food and was very good, taste and portions were perfect.
I know it’s important to some so will also mention that the WIFI worked perfectly for our whole visit as well.
Roof top terrace had plenty of seating and was a great place to watch sunset and sunrise.
Will 100% stay here again when we visit the city in the future.
Thanks again to the staff for a wonderful experience
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.
Great riad. Staff went above and beyond. Very attentive and accommodating. Rooms are bit cozy, but nonetheless beautiful and on theme. Centrally located and most sites are about a 15 minute walk. Highly recommend.
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.
My first experience in Riad ... it was obvious.
The service and decor are exceptional.
A special thanks to Iman who received us with a beautiful welcoming smile and offered us tea and Moroccan cakes.
All the staff were welcoming.
I will return without hesitation.
A really nice place to stay. The room was comfy and clean with the lovely bathroom . The owner is very friendly and the staff are welcoming and helpful especially Asis who gave me a map of Marrakesh and showed me the interesting places to visit and where to the good restaurants are. We are very happy with our stay. Thank you Riad M’boja Chez Ali Baba.
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!
The riad is cozy and comfortable. Food was amazing, the best of all the trip!!! Service an attention was wonderful! The staff made a great impression. The location is close to a zuk.
