If you were like me and spent days (weeks my case), looking for the right place to stay, then stop now. This place is perfect and I am not a person to use that word lightly or a person who gives countless reviews, but this place made me. Isabelle and Phillipe are wonderful hosts and in all if my years travelling all over the world I have NEVER stayed in a place so welcoming. The same with Morroco too. The staff that Dar Alif have are the most polite, welcoming & humble staff I have met anywhere. They will go out of your way to help you and advise you on anything. A BIG thanks must go to Tariq, Khadija (wonderful cook), Dora and everyone else there. They are always there anytime you need them, but very discreet also. They spoke perfect English Arabic & French, which put me to shame & made me scramble to remember my high school French to reciporicate such was their ease in translation. The people make this place and Phillipe and Isabelle must thank their lucky stars that they have such great people working with them. And that is down to both of them (through hard work) making the Dar Alif one of the most successful (in my opinion) Riads in Marrakech. Whilst the hospitality is second to none, the surroundings and environment are beautiful and comfortable - the pictures don't do it justice. I know it has been said before, but it really is a home away from home. ##### Olivia Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BRIAN ISMAEL May 12, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel en Marraquech execelente Recomiendo el hotel atendido por sus dueños muy cordiales atentos con un personal calificado para pasar unos días estupendos con su familia ##### BRIAN ISMAEL ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 18, 2017 #### Good Riad but too much touroperator sales approach Dar Alif is a standard Riad with nice staff but we felt like treated like in a touroperator resort sales talk all the time trying to sell us extra trips, transfers, drivers at extremely high prices. Not a pleasant experience... ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely riad in the heart of Marrakech We had a lovely and too short stay at Riad Dar Alif. It is a beautiful oasis within the hectic medina. Will have to come back for a longer visit! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonio Roberto Jan 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Satisfação garantida Excelente Riad. Os proprietários Philippe et Isabelle são extremamente simpáticos e receptivos. O staff é o que ganha destaque no Riad. Pessoas incríveis, prestativas e profissionais. O único pecado é a lentidão da internet, mas funciona bem. ##### Antonio Roberto ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Philip our host was attentive and helpful with all our requirements and help to make us feel relaxed and at home. The hotel is also very relaxing and we looked forward to spending time at the hotel - relaxing on the rooftop terrace or taking a Hammam in the spa - as much as we did the sightseeing in and around Marrakesh. I would recommend anyone travelling to Marrakesh to stay here for a very enjoyable experience. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bettina, Böblingen Sep 27, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Riad mit dem perfekten Charme!!! Wir haben das Riad über Freunde empfohlen bekommen und wir können es zu 1000% an alle weiterempfehlen! Philipp und Isabelle haben das Riad zu einer Perle gemacht und kümmern sich um alle Wünsche! Ein Traum!!! ##### Bettina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Isabelle and Phillipe,the owners of the riad were very hospitable and made sure we did not get lost in the medina and even accompanied us to the marketplace. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kalle, Tuusula Jan 1, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My home in Marrakech Choosing the right Riad in Marrakech can be difficult and time consuming. Based on the reviews, pictures and availability I was very lucky to pick Dar Alif. Spent five days over christmas there and it felt like home. From arrival to departure the service, atmosphere and attention I got from staff the owners could have not been better. Phillip warmly welcomed me with mint tea and pastry giving many good tips on Marrakech. He took me to short walk showing 'secret' passage and shortest routes to the square and other places of interest. Breakfast at Dar Dalif was very good. Served at the roof terrace I could watch sunrise over Marrakech while enjoying my coffee, egg's of your choice, bread, pancakes, jam etc. I spent good time on the terrace during the days reading book, drinking mint tea and enjoying sun. They also serve beer and wine to terrace on your request. My room was very nice and ultra clean. My big bathroom was very special with big shower and enough warm water. There was also electrical outlets next to my bed which is very good for charging and using your phone/pad when in bed. My stay could have not been better in Marrakech thanks to Dar Alif and nice people working there. I highly recommend this place if you like exceptional personal service and beautiful Riad in the heart of Marrakech. thank you Philip Isabell for nice days I had opportunity to be your quest. ##### Kalle ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alfredo Nov 3, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best option for the Medina in Marakech Fantastic stay at the Riad - The Hosts Philippe and Isabella will make your stay memorable ##### Alfredo ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Andalla Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Andalla-Spa.h18024354.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TUI BLUE Medina Gardens – Adults Only – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Medina-Gardens-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h8729059.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mamounia](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Mamounia.h438418.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels.d6180797.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Gaylord-Palms-Resort-Convention-Center.h807800.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central House Marrakech Medina - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Rodamon-Riad-Marrakech.h19805049.Hotel-Information) > > [Palais Sebban](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Palais-Sebban.h1541234.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Le-Medina-Essaouira-Hotel-Thalassa-Sea-Spa-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h795436.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Arabe Hotel, Spa and Cooking Workshops](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Maison-Arabe-Hotel.h1167773.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Strasbourg](https://www.expedia.ca/Strasbourg-Hotels.d6217179.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Cabins.d10578-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Vaughan](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Toronto-Vaughan.h871092.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brockville](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockville-Hotels.d10493.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Meridien N'fis](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Nfis.h571327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Algonquin Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Algonquin-Park-Hotels.d6343000.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Orangeville](https://www.expedia.ca/Orangeville-Hotels.d59251.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/lhr/kamloops-to-london) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/msp/edmonton-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ktm/yvr/kathmandu-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Singapore (SIN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sin/yyz/singapore-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Nashville Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville.d178291.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Harrison Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrison-Hot-Springs.dx10424) > > [Visit Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham.dx10353)
