Riad Alegria

Ahmed's professionalism, kind smile, and discretion made our lovely days at Riad Alegria even more enjoyable. Thanks for the great work, Ahmed. See you soon!

The service was superb and breakfast was good. It's a very nice riad in a good location, though you do have to walk a couple of minutes from the main street to reach the entrance.

The hammam and massage were amazing. We chose to do them at the riad for convenience, safety, and the quality, especially since we didn't want to walk home at night. We got the full time, and it was clean. I heard the hammam being cleaned for quite a while afterward. I asked my masseuse to close the door, and could barely hear anything outside. For the hammam, two or three people can go in together. They give you a very loose disposable cotton "thong" that looks made for a sumo wrestler, plus a robe. You go topless, and the "thong" WILL move around, so be comfortable with that if you're going with friends or family. The riad feels clean and modern while keeping its Moroccan charm. The manager was welcoming, the rooftop is cute, and they left a bottle of water in our room. The owners are French and Swiss, as is common with riads. Their conversion rate is a little higher than what locals use. If you don't want to carry luggage in, there is usually a man just before the little street with a carrier who can help for a few Dirhams. Rolling it yourself isn't too bad, but his help could be useful if you have a lot or are older. It's within walking distance of what we needed. Jemma El-fna takes about 10-15 minutes, with a couple of really nice alleyways for shopping along the way. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and little shops right down the street. Breakfast was simple but had what we needed: Moroccan carbs, yogurt, fresh pressed orange juice, fruit, and coffee. The wifi worked well everywhere, including the rooftop. Up there you'll find sun chairs, outdoor furniture, and a small pool that looks like a jacuzzi but isn't heated. I imagine it feels great when it's 40C. We had a two-person room and a three-person room. Both were spacious, a little bigger than another riad we stayed at, and comfortable for everyone.

Ahmed was exceptionally kind and provided wonderful service. He took care of every detail and was always ready to help, making our stay feel perfect. Thank you so much, Ahmed!
