Charming and quiet Riad

Very spacious and comfortable suite we booked to stay, only draw back is the privacy of the bath area. There is a large separate room has only toilet there, it is enough space for a shower there. As bath area is open plan with sleeping area, if a screen in front of the bath tube will be very helpful for privacy, when you are travelling with old children or friend to share the room.

My mom and I were so confused because we didn’t expect such a small entrance. Had no clue that it was a hotel until we stepped inside. The staff were very nice and friendly, but would’ve been better if the man at the reservation desk had actually known that he had guests to check in on that day.. The room was clean but cold, as the ceilings were very high. Overall was a satisfying stay but wouldn’t recommend..

I absolutely loved loved this Riad. The staff, Lamia and Mehdi especially so very helpful. My friend had 1000 questions and they Lamia always went the extra mile to help us as we were new to Marrakech. Breakfast was delicious and we’d always come back to a spanking clean room (sorry for the mess!) First night our WiFi was playing up, we reported the issue and the next morning the engineer was in to fix the problem. Thank you again to all staff, really made our stay pleasant

Beautiful Riad, Excellent Location

Riad Al Assala was beautiful and in a great location. The staff were very helpful and kind. They were patient in answering all of our many questions, and always accommodating. They provided a delicious breakfast and all the coffee and mint tea we could drink through the day.

Great location

It was a great location. We were a group of 4 but was surprised to find some basics not already provided upon arrival. Other riads provide a large water bottle upon arrival. We got one small water bottle to share between 4 people. Toilet paper was not refilled. They also charge way too much to provide a taxi to the airport. We paid half their charge asking for a taxi nearby.

Charming stay

Charming riad very close to the Médina. The rooms are large and clean, but the bed was lacking decent pillows. The service was amazing, it was so refreshing to see a hotel run by women in Morocco! The rooms do not have locks on the doors, but we felt safe enough to leave our things in the room while we were out (there is a safe in the room). The breakfast was very minimal, but was made fresh.

I was expecting Riad al Assala to be good but it exceeded my expectations. The family suite was of a good size and was clean and comfortable. The rooms are set around a small courtyard and pool. A superb breakfast of freshly baked breads and cakes plus freshly squeezed orange juice set us up for the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was excellent.

An oasis in the medina

A truly beautiful Riad, which feels like an oasis in the hectic Medina. The location is ideal with many sights in walking distance. Be aware that the Riad can be noisy, but this will be the case with most Riads. The rooms are spacious and beautiful with very high ceilings. The Riad also offers nice cozy areas to read a book and relax. I can very much recommend this place to stay if you would like to experience staying in an authentic Riad

Hotel room which was the triple suite was very comfortable and clean, and looked as shown on the pictures online. Lovely room and very tranquil environment, perfect to relax. Breakfast was nice and light, tea was great. Pool looked amazing in the evening. Only disappointment was I emailed the assistant manager and was told there are massage facilities available, turned out that there was not..
