Riad is a little difficult to find. There is no name plate on the street like neighbor riads to direct you. I will upload a photo later to help.
Staff was great and opened door quickly when you rang doorbell. Partner loved the room design. Bed was good and the bath included necessary products and accessories women may appreciate.
One recommendation is to avoid the room on ground floor located next to the kitchen. You hear everything and likewise they will hear everything you do. Because staff greets each guest when the arrive and return, you will also hear those conversations. The room above resulted in a lot of noise through the floor, so we didn’t get to sleep until after 1am.
With our early departure to the airport the staff gentleman prepared a very nice juice and pain chocolat in addition to a take away bag with other options to eat on the trip to airport. All very appreciated.
I’m sure this would be a great riad, but ensure you do not have a ground floor room.

Very unhelpful, inflexible staff, who would not help me change a date during a medical emergency. My explanations of the emergency fell on deaf ears-they just did not care.

We had a truly memorable time at Les Orangers D'Alilia. This Riad was beautiful. The rooms were well appointed, expertly decorated, clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Our stay was highlighted with tasty meals, day trips and quiet spaces to rest from our busy days. The most memorable part of our stay
was the staff. Youssef was friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, professional and eager to assist us whenever needed. Fathia's lamb and chicken couscous and peach tart were my favorite dishes in Marrakech. And Rashida always kept our room clean and met our requests with a warm smile. Even Joelle, the owner, kept in touch with us via text messages when we had questions about rugs and acceptable pricing. We highly recommend staying here.

A hidden gem, the staff were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly, making us feel very welcome. We stayed 3 nights and had an amazing meal on our last night, the breakfast was \"out of this World \". A big thanks to Joelle and her team, we highly recommend Riad Les Orangers d'Alilia for a very relaxing, accommodating stay.

Great service. Yoseff was a wonderful host and always attended to our needs. The rooms are cozy with a warm welcoming style. Breakfast was delicious and the common area was a soothing retreat from the bustling streets. One of our rooms had a musty smell, it may not have been used in a while. The other room was wonderful.

The staff was so helpful and the Riad very lovely. So many nice personal touches. Room design could have been a little roomier around the bed/bathroom, but quiet and comfortable. It was a 20 minute walk or so to restaurants, but nice to be away from the hustle and bustle deeper in the medina.

Really lovely riad with fabulous staff and food and in a safe and convenient location. The staff will organise things for your convenience e.g. taxis but be warned its much more expensive. We did a day trip to the atlas mountains where we hiked up a mountain to panoramic views, would definitely recommend if wanting to escape the city.

Beautiful Riad with the most Amazing host and staff. When Boho meets Oriental decor this is how it looks. Spectacular decoration and every detail makes sense. Room was spacious and clean. Location was perfect close to everything yet very quiet. Breakfast on the rooftop terraces was delicious. Staying in this riad is staying in your new home. Yourself, Ghizlaine, Hassania, Hichame and Joelle will become your family members. They are all amazing humans with a big smile to greet you throughout the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING US FEEL LIKE HOME. I am highly recommending this place if you are looking for the real Moroccan lifestyle and people.

The hospitality is amazing. Located a little bit away from the main action (I was at a work conference) so will need to get a cab into the centre if you don’t fancy a 30 minute walk. But peaceful and tranquil surroundings and the breakfast is DELICIOUS.

This is a beautiful Riad, located in the old city, down a tiny walkway, but once you enter it's like stepping in to a tranquil oasis. The decor is very beautiful and makes you feel like home. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Yousef the night manager is outstanding and very professional but also warm and friendly. During the earthquake he looked after all the guests like family and made us all feel very safe. The food which is all freshly prepared is amazing. Breakfast was a feast every morning and dinner was a Moroccan delight. I highly recommend this Riad and will definitely be returning. Well done to Madam Joelle for creating such a wonderful environment in the midst of a very busy city.

The owner was very rude to us, even though the mistake with the reservation was only hers. My brother and I reserved a room with two beds and was confirmed. Once we arrived, she said that it will be complicated to give us two beds and she refused to credit us, even though “Booking “ contacted her and requested a refund. Her attitude is unpleasant and unprofessional to say the least.

Our stay at the Riad was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, our every need was catered to, particularly by Youseff. He is the most dedicated and caring person we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The free breakfast was both enormous and delicious! The riad is located within the Medina, making every sight accessible by foot. Our room was perfect with daily cleaning and even had personal touches for our visit. We highly recommend anyone to visit this Riad and when we return to Marrakech in the future we will be returning!

El riad es bonita, tiene buena ambientación y detalles y tal vez lo mejor es su desayuno. Por su precio es uno de los Riad caros de la medina sin embargo no estar tan bien ubicado, el taxi te deja a un par de cuadras por lo que hay que caminar con maletas. tal vez lo peor fue que el aire acondicionado de la habitación nunca funciono y pasamos mucho calor por la noche.

If you stay here, you will never want to leave. Best hospitality we have ever experienced anywhere. Please have breakfast and dinner here if you can. Youssef was so sweet, he really took care of us well. We have another 7 weeks of travel ahead, and this riad has spoiled our expectation of every other place we will be staying. We will be back here without hesitation- as long as Youssef is still working.

From the moment we arrived to a mint tea and local sweet treats welcome, the staff could not do enough for us. So friendly and helpful we felt like VIP's! The Riad was an oasis of calm, incredibly quiet, day and night though only just off the bustle of the street. Very convenient for exploring the city and the area felt safe to walk around.
The Riad itself is beautiful, light and airey with lots of shady sitting areas and a lovely roof terrace if you want the sun.
Room was small but perfect with a delightful private sitting area as well as a bedroom and bathroom.
We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Idyllic & tranquil Riad amongst Marrakech’s bustle

My partner and I had a lovely 4 night stay at Riad Les Orangers d’Alilia - a tranquil space offering respite from the hustle and bustle of Marrkech.
We stayed in the Sofia room, which was perfect, comfortable, very tastefully decorated with a French/ Moroccan feel.
We were spoilt at breakfast daily, with a beautiful & different spread each morning - orange juice fresh from their own orange trees, mint tea, fruit, homemade cakes, breads and treats.

Located within the Medina, but a short walk from the main square, we found it to be the perfect balance, a little quieter but still in the heart of the city. I particularly enjoyed the walk into the centre which led you through Kasbah and a revealed a less touristic Marrkech, with traditional food stalls, the smoke of bouriats come the evening and the odd donkey drawn cart.
Staff were very attentive throughout, making for an fantastic stay!

A lovely Riad in the Kasbah area. In 44 degree heat, it did feel quite far from the souks, but it was nice to be out of the mad scrabble of the Main Square.

Rooms really comfortable, and have air conditioning. The little pool (only big enough for a dip!) in the courtyard was a life saver in the heat, and the rooftop loungers and hot tub were a real treat.

The breakfast is really adequate- although quite bread / pastry heavy. Fatima was kind enough to prepare us a packed lunch breakfast too, for when we wanted to go the Jardin Majorelle in the early morning.

Beautiful oasis in Marrakech!

The riad itself amazing! The decor is so lovely and the pool was heaven! Breakfast was tasty and there was banana bread!! My only minor complaint was in no way the riad's fault. There was a heatwave during our stay (115 degrees high!) and our a/c was just not up to the job.

Nice hotel close to the old town

I was very disappointed that the owner does not speak English since she was not there and her father in law was helping instead who does not speak English. And the guest was not allowed to bring in any food or drink from outside. Has to buy from the hotel.

Comfortable and friendly riad in the medina

Stayed for one night and was very well looked after by Jacques who was managing the riad in the absence of the owner Joelle. We ate dinner at the riad and had a lovely fish based tangine which was so tasty that we used all the bread to soak up the sauce. The riad itself is small but has a lot of chic personality from all the classic white furnishings. Loved the roof top terrace especially for sunset. only a 15 mins walk to the main square but far enough out of the hustle and bustle to give you a good night sleep.

Marrakech in 4 days

This was our first time in Marrakech and we chose a Riad instead of a larger hotel. Le Riad Les Orangers d'Alilia seemed to fit the bill - the photos on the web site are exactly as we found it. Initially, it was quite disconcerting to be walking down a narrow street with more than enough suitcases but our wonderful cab driver Abdou led the way. Our host Joelle greeted us warmly and a few steps later we were in an enchanting patio with orange trees. Outside our pretty Riad Marrakech was exciting, noisy, dangerous (traffic in narrow streets), colourful and mesmerizing.

Wonderful hotel experience

The hotel is a little oasis of calm from the bustling streets of Marrakech. Nothing was too much effort for the friendly warm staff. The breakfasts on the rooftop terrace were one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco. The hotel is well located: a short walk to the main square but far enough away that it felt like an escape from the busy souks. The owner, Joelle, takes pride in stylish finishing touches and the riad is a credit to the effort she puts in to making it a beautiful restful place to stay.

Really convenient and nice, slightly loud

The service was amazing, and the property was gorgeous. It was quite loud, though, as there didn't seem to be any noise blocking between rooms, the hallway, or even the front door. We could hear every knock on the door as people asked to get let in. The location was perfect, though. Most tourist attractions were walkable. And the breakfast was delightful!

This was the most wonderful and homely experience we could expect from Marrakech. Joelle and staff were so hospitable to our every need, the room and hotel itself was stunningly peaceful (esp in comparison to how chaotic the city is ten mins away). This was such a good find, the breakfast varies every day and is plentiful - you wake up to the serene scene of the comfortable rooftop and delivered tray after tray of fresh fruit, pastries, eggs, yogurt and various dishes. This is pure serenity, and we were sat down upon arrival and treated to hot tea, biscuits and various advice on the cities.
I'd recommend organising a pick-up/dropoff with Joelle, and definitely having at least a night getting a tagine cooked for you at the riad. The lamb tagine was DIVINE and could not be beat! We'll definitely be going back!

Beautiful Riad far from Medina

If you're looking for a beautiful, well-run riad in Marrakech that's outside the madness of the Medina, this is for you. Charming, pretty and an oasis from the crowds, though it is a 30-40minute walk from the square through very busy streets (think mopeds everywhere!!)
The best thing about our stay here was the breakfast - Fatiha puts on a spread that would put a 5* hotel to shame.
Overall - beautiful, peaceful, friendly but it's a trek through traffic to get anywhere.
