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

It is very nice riad and nice owners but we chose the cheapest room for 50€, and it was NOT worth it. Don't get me wrong, the place was overall very nice , but the ''grey room'' was so tiny and dark! The lights couldnt even make up for the darkness (the walls were dark grey), so if you lost... more

We stayed in Riad Alech for 3 nights a couple of weeks ago. The room we were given was absolutely lovely, the owners are extremely helpful, the location is great and the the value is superb. The Riad itself is absolutely beautiful and has been decorated with incredible style (look at pictures), the location coudn't be better. Essouira is a... more

Great place to stay ! Very welcoming host/hostess and an immaculate Riad. Very claming from the moment you walk in. We had our room upgraded for no extra fee as there were others free and the owner showed us all the rooms. They are well thought out and beautifully done, all feeling very chilled and relaxing. There is one bath... more

Lovely staff here. Very attentive. Great terrace area. Good location - hard to find - although I think they generally meet people. I found inside a little dark and don't really share the owner's taste in art/decor but was still very nicely done. Probably the most upmarket place we stayed in Morocco more

My partner and I really enjoyed our time at the Riad Alech. The place has real atmosphere thanks to the traditional decor, jazzy music and soft lighting both in each room and the communal areas. We did make a bit of a mistake, originally booking the cheapest , smallest and darkest 'grey room' (should have guessed) but the lovely owner... more

Their attention to details is amazing, to the Riad and to us. Riad Alech is beautifully decorated, lots of candles, so romantic. We stayed at the Suite with... more

We stayed just three nights in this delightful and intimate riad. The decor is traditional making use of many locally produced artifacts to provide a perfect Arabian Nights feel. The owners are exceptionally attentive and go out of their way to ensure that your stay is relaxing and trouble-free. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to travellers. more
