An amazing Riad with extremely helpful staff. Fantastic location close to everything . Staff were very helpful with booking treatments , restaurants and making sure we were comfortable during our stay .
We were a group of nine and would highly recommend this Riad for a group friends or large family visiting Marrakech.
The team at the Riad was incredible. They made sure everything about our stay was seamless and taken care of. It was beautiful there, just like the pictures, and the food was delicious (even catering wonderfully to a member of our group who has celiac's). The location was perfect.
Couldn't recommend this riad more.
Best Birthday ever! The riad was everything I dreamed and the onsite staff is top notch. From Khalid and Karim being knowledgeable about the history of the riad but the city itself to provide recommendations. Chefs kiss to Khadijah as the prepared meals we had were delicious and the fact she was flexible in dealing with food allergies I'm forever grateful. They made my first visit to Marrakech very special and memorable and I plan to visit the riad and staff again in the future. 10 out of 10 hands down.
If you get the chance to be taken care of by Veronica and her team do not hesitate. You'll find expertise, professionalism, fairness, joie de vivre, taste and the ability to quickly master YOUR needs and desires. I've traveled extensively and offer this personal detail to confirm that, in my experience, Riad Alchemia is top notch. We're a group of eleven, 3 generations from 1 to 75. The Riad is a respite, in the vibrant medina. At any moment you can explore the old city, and then, when you've had your fill, a quick return to your oasis. Inside this safe, spotless, spacious home you'll experience the beauty of an ancient culture expertly curated to meet modern needs. And the staff. I mentioned their attributes earlier, but not their humanity: Khalid, the manager, Houcine, the daily assistant, Karim, the night assistant, Chef Khadija, Charifa, the room attendant, and handyman Abderrasak. Their gentile, unobtrusive, competent presence embraced us and we quickly felt at home.
Riad was extremely beautiful and clean. We loved our stay here. Everyone responded quickly for anything we needed. Karim, Houcine, and Khalid were absolutely amazing. They did everything possible to make not only our stay at the Riad amazing but also helped us coordinate our trip plans. Would 100% stay here again for the beautiful Riad, location, and staff.
Perfect place for a business seminar.
Quiet and in the center, close to everything.
We had the most amazing stay. We were a group of seven
friends and loved the Riad. The decor and gathering places were
beautiful.
What made the trip really special was the support from
Khalid, Karim and the whole team. We can't emphasise enough how
wonderful they made the trip. They helped with transfers, taxis,
navigation and were welcoming and warm.
We had treatments and made use of the hammam which were lovely. The breakfasts and lunches were delicious with mint tea a lovely treat when we returned.
Thanks for making it such a special experience.
The on site staff was excellent. They were helpful and gave excellent recommendations. Rooms were clean and there was great peaceful fun vibe with the property.
Riad Alkemia was a magical stay. We were a group of 10 and it felt spacious with common spaces on every floor. The riad of course is beautifully detailed (the ceiling of the main bedroom in particular). What made our stay was of course the staff - Karim, Khalid and Houssein were amazing and so kind. There is always someone on site to help and we always felt very taken care of. Only thing I'll flag is that some things are 'extras' but weren't made super clear to us (e.g. waters) - it was pretty reasonably priced but just a warning!
My family and I the perfect experience at Riad Alkemia. The riad was a one-stop shop for everything we wanted to do during our time in Marrakesh. Most importantly, her staff is incredible. Khalid, Karim and their support team are all proactive to anything you need and wonderfully kind. My three children loved each of them by the time our trip ended. Alkemia provides the affordability of an AirBnb for a large group with the convenience and service of a hotel.
The location is also ideal. It feels private, quiet and remote while very close to the souks and in the heart of the medina. We strongly recommend private dinners at the riad, a guided tour with Adil (he's wonderful and wealth of knowledge!), the hot air balloon ride and camel ride with sunset dinner in the desert. 10 Stars
I cannot recommend this riad enough! From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and truly unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond in every way possible - warm, attentive, and always available to help with anything we needed. They made us feel like family.
One of the biggest highlights was how easy they made everything. They arranged reliable airport transfers, which took all the stress out of arriving and departing. They also helped us book hammam treatments, guided tours of the city, dinner reservations, and even day trips into the stunning Ourika Valley. And breakfast on the rooftop patio every morning was the perfect way to start each day. Everything was organized flawlessly, with excellent guides and drivers.
The riad itself is absolutely beautiful - peaceful, clean, and full of charm. If you're looking for a truly special experience in Marrakech, with hospitality that feels genuine and personal, this is the place. I'm already dreaming of coming back!
Riad Alkemia was absolutely perfect! The Riad is nestled right in the Medina making it very walkable and the decor is traditional Moroccan -- it's stunning. Each bedroom has its own bathroom making it perfect for large groups and couples. The grounds from the bottom floor to the terrace are picturesque. Veronica reached out to me months prior to help with planning my groups' stay in Marrakech. Through the Riad, you are able to book tons of different activities like Henna, Hammam & Spa, Belly dancing, Argan oil class, photoshoot, traditional storytelling and more. We ended up booking most of these experiences and the ease of booking through our Riad and having these vendors come to our beautiful accommodations made everything easy and even more fun! While at the Riad, the house staff is on point, they are truly the extra special magic to this experience! Anything you need they are there to provide it for you and they also anticipate your needs -- giving you a real 5 star experience.
Our stay at the Riad exceeded all expectations. The restoration was tastefully done and the décor was elegant throughout. The courtyard, centered around a serene pool, became our favorite gathering spot - and a refreshing dip was the perfect way to unwind after full days exploring the medina and taking various tours.
For our milestone anniversary, we decided to celebrate on the rooftop - and it turned out to be the best decision ever! Veronica, our gracious host, helped bring my vision to life. The evening began with a trio playing traditional music, followed by a mesmerizing belly dancer, and ended on a high note with a live band playing classic 80s hits. We then enjoyed a sumptuous three-course meal that rivaled the best restaurants we visited in Marrakech.
The concierge service and staff struck the perfect balance - warm and welcoming without being overly familiar, attentive and helpful without being intrusive.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This was a wonderful stay. We felt absolutely well taken care of. Veronica and all her staff were attentive, organized and made us feel very much at home and most welcome. The villa is well appointed and has been thoughtfully and beautifully furnished with so much to appreciate from the art, furnishings and smallest details. It is extremely well located and easy to get around to all the important sites and also the souks. Food was plentiful and delicious and was well catered to our needs and tastes. The rooftop/garden was a wonderful bonus and a great location for breakfasts, relaxing and end of day dinners. A very very special shout out to all the staff who were so fantastic and kind to our very large party, including one child who travelled with us. Do book - you will not regret. I will certainly be back again to experience the Riad and Magical Marrakesh!
The stay at RIAD ALKEMIA was simply magical
Close to the medina, which is known to be "noisy", but in the end, once in the Riad, you are in a quiet, relaxing place, with birdsong.
I booked to celebrate my 30th birthday surrounded by my close friends
The RIAD is beautiful, unbelievable charm.
The rooms, patio, terrace, breakfast… everything was perfect and clean.
The staff is AMAZING, Khalid and Ouassel, THANK YOU ++++
Always there to answer our questions, caring ++ and attentive ++, the best of the best!!
As for the host Veronica, very responsive, good advice, thank you so much.
I requested several additional services, all of which were perfect. (Meals, birthday cake, dancer, guitarist, decoration, etc.)
Thanks to Boushra for the food, it was delicious.
I recommend this Riad without so much as a second thought, and we'll be happy to go back!!
Amazed, enchanted
Thank you and see you soon for a longer stay
Our stay at Riad Alkemia was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, Khalid, Ouassel, and the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their hospitality was unmatched - always warm, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed.
The riad itself is stunning, beautifully designed, and a true oasis in the heart of Marrakesh. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making our stay both comfortable and luxurious. The atmosphere was peaceful, the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable.
A huge thank you to Khalid, Wasil, and the whole team for making our experience so special. We truly felt at home and cannot wait to return. If you're looking for an exceptional place to stay in Marrakesh, this is it!
We were a family of 14 that booked this amazing riad for the latter part of our holiday. Our age range was from 10 years to 80 years old.
Staying at this Riad was the highlight of our holiday, what an amazing experience. The night we arrived we enjoyed a cooking class in the house, we always had breakfast on the patio in the mornings and if somebody wanted to stay in, food was delivered to our house, arranged by Khalid. We also had Henna artist and massages in the house. We asked for the pool to be heated that was great for the children.
Khalid, Veronica, Ouassel and all the other amazing staff were attentive and cared for us so well through out the stay and always responsive.
The neighborhood is so amazing, lively and authentic with
great restaurants and great shops.
We had the room arranged before we came so everybody knew
where they were staying and Khalid arranged for a transport from
our hotel and to the airport and all luggage was taking care of. 10

This is a beautiful Riad, and Khalid and Ouassil were excellent hosts during our time. Veronica helped organise activities and transport - a great experience and highly recommended!
We had a lovely birthday celebration at the riad. Khalid, Ouassel and the rest of the team looked after us very well and were super helpful during our stay! The host is very responsive and flexible with any requests to make the occasion more special!
A genuinely wonderful five days with four families at the Riad. We never felt rushed or crowded and everyone could gather or peel off for some peace in any of the many nooks and day beds. Khalid and Soufiane could not have been more accommodating, offering help booking transfers, restaurants and tours, and even assisting the youngest in our group during bread-making class. It was a superb stay that we will be recommending to family and friends.
My family and I had a great stay at Riad Alkemia. The staff especially Khalid and Souffiane were extremely nice and catered to our needs. Felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech.
Thank you for making our stay wonderful.
Riad Alkemia is a hidden gem in the buzzing Medina of Marrakech. A truly peaceful place with a beautiful interior design. It was an amazing experience for us of harmony. The team at the Riad has been very proactive and made sure we could experience Marrakech in the best possible way inside and outside the Riad. A big thanks for your kindness and splendid service.
We booked this riad with eight friends. We were warmly welcomed, and everything was perfectly and well organized. Veronika and her team (especially Khalid) took care of everything. This riad is simply wonderful, a fantastic roof terrace, great rooms, very nice and discreet staff. I highly recommend it. We had great breakfast, a very tasty dinner and in addition we booked massage and hammam. Everything at its best.
We were 8 people and enjoyed it very much.
We stayed at Riad Al Kemia for my 40th Birthday party and it was the perfect place to celebrate. The location is ideal for exploring the souks and we could not have been better looked after. Khalid and Soufiane are absolute stars and supported us at every step with recommendations and logistics. The Riad is beautifully decorated and is a peaceful oasis within the bustling Medina. Highly recommend!
Great Riad and very good hosts. They picked us up from the parking and helped with everything we needed for our stay. Very flexible and great hospitality.
The riad is amazing, as is its location. The staff is very professional, pleasant and welcoming, always with a smile. I highly recommend this Riad if you plan to stay in the heart of Marrakech. Also not to be missed, the Moroccan spa - hammam.
We had a reunion of family/friends who came from different parts of the world. We had an unforgettable stay thanks to the staff of Riad Alkemia.
They organized everything for us, transfers, desert visits, transfer to and from the airport and even a festive evening. The staff prepared a very tasty dinner and provided a 5-star service. They also organized a DJ who was playing modern music with oriental flavor.
We all left delighted with our holiday.
Overall they just made our stay unforgettable.
A big THANK YOU to the entire team of Riad Alkemia for making this beautiful trip possible. You are by far the best hosts I have ever had! Thank you for helping me organize the wonderful activities, for your warm welcome and the great service. I can highly recommend the dinner at the Riad, the music group playing wonderful desert blues as well as the Quad tour to Agafay with a dinner below the stars.
The place was beautiful and I can't say enough good things about the whole staff. Khalid and the whole staff were so attentive and accommodating. The food was also absolutely amazing!
This Riad was amazing, really made our stay in Morocco that much more memorable. The Riad was beautiful on the inside and all six of us had out own room with bathrooms, we were extremely comfortable. The in-house helper was extremely responsive and attentive. Upon entry he provided us with local Moroccan mint tea, tour of the house, and instructional map highlighting the local area. He was easily accessible via text throughout our entire stay and helped to organize taxis, restaurant reservations, and excursions. He was extremely helpful.
All of the room had AC which, and my sister took advantage of
the in-house Hammam and Spa which she thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast
on the terrace was also enjoyable.
Great stay in a Riad full of charm. The decor is neat and Khalid and Soufiane's hospitality is perfect.
