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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 very well kept and clean, the area is also very practical when visiting all there is to see in Marrakech, plus it's not as touristic as other areas of the city so you get to see locals going about their activities and get an insight into their daily life. What makes this riad standout from the many others is the level of service. The staff were really helpful and welcoming. We had the most contact with Aziz, who always had a smile on his face and answered any questions we had, a real asset to the property.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
