Fantastic

Owner met us from the taxi and showed us to the riad. Gave us the safety advice for Marrakesh and also gave us a phone with WhatsApp to speak to her whenever we needed which was fab. We used the phone for the maps function too. Riad was clean, safe and pretty. Chose this place based on the reviews from other female groups (we hired the whole place) and I would definitely stay there again

We enjoyed a lot our staying at Ali's riad and appreciated the gorgeous design, good location and of course the hospitality he and his sister showed us. They were very open to help us with all we needed in the riad as well as with reccomendations. We even had a one day trip to Essaouira organized with the help of Ali and his driver. The riad is well located, closed to the main attractions, in an vibrant area. The breakfast was good, diversified each morning. The riad has 5 rooms, each with a different traditional design. Everything was clean, bed was big enough and comfortable. I have also liked that the bathroom was very spacious. It was overall a beautiful experience.

An unbeatable experience

This hotel was like a Moroccan dream to us, as fetched from One thousand and one night. To be able to escape into this shelter from very busy alleys crowded with people made our stay so peaceful, espacially as we were travelling with small kids. The host couple made all to fulfill all our needs and spent time with us in order to deepen our understanding of the country we were visiting. The breakfast was abundant and adapted to our wishes. I truelly recommend a stay, it will be a beautiful memory and enrichen any journey !

Ali’s property is just absolutely gorgeous, we all felt completely transported when we went through the door! We loved how we all had the option of spending time together, enjoying the wide range of board games available or spend some time in our respective rooms. All the rooms are decorated with taste and have their own theme. We all slept really well and were very thankful for the AC at night. The highlight was the breakfast on the terrasse, which we had every morning of our stay. It was delicious!

Very very very kind host - always there for service and anything you need, whether it’s anything to do with their proper

The Moroccan traditional touch made it so ambient and made our stay worthwhile. Everything in the property was so well thought and organised. The breakfast was 10/10 and free wifi! The host always made us the most special Moroccan tea which we loooooved. The host predicted every single need of their guests and had it all ready for us. Such a beautiful place with terrace, courtyard and a kitchen.

A fantastic stay at a traditional morroccan riad near the medina

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful traditional morroccan riad. It was spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect and was only a few minutes walk from the medina. The host was very helpful and accommodating

By far the best place we stayed in Morocco: gorgeous riad and a wonderful host

The property was spectacular! Every room and bathroom was beautifully decorated, with so much attention to detail. We especially loved the traditional tiles, the peaceful little fountain in the center of the riad, and the rooftop terrace. Out of all the places we stayed during our travels through Morocco, this was by far our favorite. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and flexible. Always ready to help with anything we needed. We would 100% recommend this place and would love to come back one day!

Exceptional stay at Dar Al Hayat - 10+

Our stay at Dar Al Hayat was fantastic. The customer service from Ali and the team was exceptional and the Riad itself was amazing. Take the breakfast option, which we had served on the roof terrace. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Our staying was great, we loved it! And we recommend

Ali and Radia were very kind. They answered and solved everything we needed. (dinner, map, sim card, excursions, transfers ...) The place is very quiet, with little birds singing in the morning, but near the streets, in the medina, with all the mess. And it is very easy to get to the place. We began every day with an excelent breakfast.

We decided to book Riad Al Hayat and hit the jackpot! There are no words to truly describe the kindness and hospitality of our hosts, Ali and Janetti. First of all, they are amazing people—well-organized, helpful, and caring. We felt welcomed at every moment. Thank you for all the tips, trips, information, and your availability whenever we needed you. We felt safe and appreciated everything you did for us. We are grateful for you and your efforts in making our Marrakech adventure amazing! Group of 9 ladies in blue from Slovenia ❤️
