RIAD ALTAIR Marrakech

Riad Altair – A Peaceful Oasis in the Heart of Marrakech! We recently stayed at Riad Altair for four nights during a special trip to Marrakech to celebrate my birthday, and it was absolutely wonderful. Before our visit, I contacted the Riad to help arrange a traditional hammam and a day trip to the Atlas Mountains. Abdou, the manager, couldn’t have been more helpful, he organised everything perfectly and made the process effortless. From the moment we arrived, we felt an incredible sense of calm. The team welcomed us with mint tea, and our room was decorated with a birthday banner across the bed, such a thoughtful surprise! The Riad truly feels like an oasis in the city, just a five-minute walk from the hustle and bustle of the Medina, yet inside it’s tranquil, cool, and beautifully decorated. Every time we stepped through the door, it was as though we’d come home to peace and quiet after the energy of the city outside. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The breakfasts were delicious, and the evening meal we enjoyed on our last night was absolutely beautiful. We left feeling completely relaxed and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Riad Altair to anyone visiting Marrakech, we would absolutely stay again.

We have just spent 7 nights at the Riad Altair, our first time in Marrakech. |We had a wonderful time! The hotel is beautiful, a haven of peace after exploring the city. Our room was lovely, spacious with a large bathroom. The hotel is well placed and within easy reach of the main attractions. There is a lovely roof area to relax in the sun if you wish. We cannot praise the staff highly enough, they are all so cheerful and helpful. We ate in the hotel each evening and the food was superb. Each night chef Saida served us three courses of traditional Moroccan cuisine, delicious. Yassine, our waiter, was always happy and smiling, he always explained the dish and its ingredients and was very helpful in telling us how to get to the places we were visiting. Thanks also to Samira who cleaned our rooms and, on one evening, also cooked us a lovely meal. The breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of fresh fruits, home made yoghurt, pancakes, fresh bread, croissants and sweet pastries and eggs. Finally, a special thank you to Abdou, the manager, who made us feel so welcome and was always helpful.|This a fabulous place to stay and we would not hesitate to go there again.

We spent 4 relaxing days at Riad Altair. Perfect location, in the heart of the medina but once you step inside the front door you are in a peaceful, calm oasis. Our bedroom was comfortable, with aircon. The staff were so kind and friendly, helping with taxi bookings, organising tour guides and our amazing sunrise hot air balloon ride. The views from the rooftop terrace over the medina were stunning, you could just make out the Atlas Mountains! A plentiful breakfast every morning is included and we had dinner on two evenings, both delicious home cooked meals. Thank you so much Abdou, Yassin and the whole team!

Wow wow wow! Myself and friend have just arrived back home after the most wonderful stay at Riad Altair. ||We were met at our taxi (which we arranged with the Riad) by a lovely lady who walked us to the Riad, she was so welcoming and friendly. ||When we stepped inside, it smelt wonderful and was wonderfully peaceful. We arrived very late due to delays but they had prepared us a meal which was really delicious. (We had arranged the meal in advance) ||Our room was absolutely gorgeous and spotlessly clean. Perfect size for 2 people, plenty of storage space, towels, robes and toiletries. I was really impressed. It was peaceful all night, we popped the air con on and had the best sleep. ||We were greeted in the morning by lovely, happy, smiley staff. Breakfast was plentiful, fruits, yogurt, breads, egg, pancakes and more. We even had English tea. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff they were absolutely wonderful. ||The rooftop terrace is lovely, perfect to sunbathe, there is also places to relax in shade. The small pool is wonderful after a long hot day exploring. ||Yasim sat down with us, gave us a map and lots of information/ tips. What a wonderful man. All of the staff were amazing, polite, friendly, helpful. ||I would have loved to have stayed longer, it really felt so homely. ||The location was fab, a short walk to Jemaa El-Fnaa Square. Lots of cash points on the way. ||Thank you so much for an amazing stay. We loved everything. xx

We (4 middle aged women) had an absolutely lovely stay at this riad. It was recommended to us and did not disappoint. The riad itself is beautiful, quiet, serene and very comfortable. Walking distance into the souks, restaurants and the Secret Garden. The staff were so accommodating and patient with all our questions and requests. Breakfast was lovely and dinner amazing quality and value. Thoroughly recommend! 😊

Wonderful place. Really well kept. Neat and clean. Beautiful terrace. Mr Abdou and Mr Yasin were awesome. The lady who was cooking for us was a wonderful chef and a smiling courteous angel. We had the most awesome breakfast and dinner.

We celebrated 40 years of friendship in this oasis of peace and calm within the fabulous magic of Marrakesh. Abdou and team assisted us in finding the best trips and arranged taxi’s. They prepared us tasty meals. The rooms were nice and the roof top terraces great places to chill. |Very friendly staff

We had a fantastic stay at Riad Altair and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff, who made us feel right at home. The riad has only six rooms, which creates a peaceful, intimate atmosphere—perfect for relaxing after a day in the busy medina.||Our room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The entire riad has a calm, home-like feel that made it easy to unwind. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh local ingredients, and we also had dinner there one evening, which was excellent.||The staff were always happy to help with recommendations and directions, and their hospitality really made our stay special. A true hidden gem!
