We had a lovely stay at the Riad Alech, which is truly special and gorgeous inside - decorated with a personal touch by someone with exquisite taste. It is down a side street and so off the main drag, which is fine during the day but caused us a bit of nervousness at night (2 women traveling together), also that... More

My husband and I stayed at Alech for 2 nights. We stayed in the suite. It was comfortable but having the bathroom outside of the room was inconvenient and awkward. The riad is tastefully decorated and they play excellent music! We had breakfast each morning on the terrace and it was great. The staff were very friendly. The only negative... More

Title says it all really. The riad is very small, with only 5 rooms. It's beautifully restored and the hosts are a charming couple and very helpful. Maybe you could find it lacking in privacy as the rooms are quite close together and at night noise carries very easily, but there was nobody else staying when we were there so... More

Bouchra and her team were very professional and helpful, they picked us up from the bus stop on a rainy day, helped us chase down our tour-guide who was missing in action and also helped us buy bus tickets to El-Jadida. Breakfast was freshly prepared, and the room was clean and comfortable. We stayed in the suite room which was... More

The riad is a hidden gem in a labyrinth of tiny streets. It is a very pleasant surprise after a questionable hygiene of the surroundings. Tastefully designed and impeccably clean, it is a perfect example of Moroccan culture and hospitality. The host, Bouchra, is attentive to the smallest details and guests’ needs. Bouchra surpassed our expectations providing personal touch and... More

This small Riad, in the middle of the best quarter of the Medina, is a wonderful place to stay. The attention to detail in the design and in the service is great. Excellent value as well. Bouchra and her staff will look after you and help you with anything. Follow their advice for the best places to eat. I was... More

Riad Alech is truly a gem of Essaouira. This boutique riad, located off the medina within this fortress village, inspires a sense of mystery. The traditional architecture of this riad keeps the guest in the cusp of history of place, its soaring ceiling and turn-of-the-century decorative tile will remind you of this. Attention to detail, by way of tasteful decoration,... More
