Riad Rcif Alif Suite & SPA

This place was great I strongly recommend it. Be aware that the mattresses we slept on are very very firm. That is the only complaint I can possibly make about this lovely riad. The owner was very helpful as was the rest of the staff.

This riad was the most beautiful place we've stayed in, ever! Exquisitely decorated riad in an authentic style, clean spacious rooms, friendly attentive staff, delicious breakfast. This riad is a hidden jewel box in the medina.

The Riad is absolutely gorgeous, and would have easily earned 5 stars if not for the rude and scammy hotel manager who ruined the experience. It’s a mystery how that man works in the hospitality industry. We had 2 rooms as there were 3 of us. When 2 of us came up for breakfast, he rudely said that they have cooked food for 3 people so will bring all 3 people’s food together. When we said the third person is asleep, he refused to agree to serve them separately when they came up (within the breakfast window), “because we have cooked 3 people’s food for you”. When the food arrived, the ONLY cooked item was a couple of fried eggs. The rest of it was just fruits, bread etc. that had been hastily thrown together - picture included. Just a ruined breakfast experience for nothing. While leaving, we asked the same guy where we should walk to get a cab. He said that that’s not possible, and the only way to get a cab is to book one through him for MAD 250. He argued multiple times that we should have done that in advance. He then claimed that a taxi we flag down near the medina “is not allowed to go to the airport”. Eventually sick of him, we walked out, and 5 minutes reached the street and instantly flagged a taxi to the airport for 100 MAD. Apart from the rude, scammy, lying manager, the riad is wonderful. Well located, genuinely beautiful inside, helpful staff (apart from the one), comfortable beds and good WiFi.

Like staying in a time capsule, tile work is preserved to be like original. The staff are incredibbly nice and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

The room was better than pictured. The lobby was beautiful. The rooftop terrace held a panoramic view of the city. They left a pot of coffee and a thermos in f hot milk at our table- a first in Morocco. Breakfast included a delicious omelet and local breads and spreads. We loved it and wish we had booked a longer stay!
