We had a very happy stay in this riad. Friendly staff, and a peaceful safe place to return to after sightseeing and browsing in the souks. Central Heating worked well, which we needed in February, when mornings and evenings were chilly. Comfortable, clean rooms all open onto the central square courtyard so typical in Marrakech. A white ornate balcony runs all the way around the upper level, also looking over the courtyard. Palm trees and creepers stretch up to the blue sky above, a pool lies peacefully in the centre, inviting you for a plunge at the end of a hot day. Breakfast is in the courtyard is fresh round loaves of bread, honey and jam, traditional Moroccan pancakes, and an omelette straight from the stove. Freshly squeezed orange juice and copious coffee and tea.
Dar Moulay Ali is a perfect base for visiting anywhere in the City, with its palaces, museums and gardens. Also the tanneries. It is to the north of Jemaa-el-Fna, and walkable distance to the Majorelle garden.
