The staff here are so helpful and polite, they work hard to make sure you’re comfortable and happy plus they’re available 24hrs a day. The location is great, far enough away from the hustle of the centre but close enough to walk into.

A Fantastic Clean Riad with 10 Star service!
Everyone at Riad Mboja was so friendly and helpful. They helped us with things to do (and not to do). Any need we had was immediately handled. The Riad was super clean and very well maintained. The room and bathroom really did look just as fantastic as the pictures. Breakfast was delicious, filling, and fresh. The whole place had a calmness that always made us smile. The roof had a nice view and was refreshing cool at night. The internet was the very fast and we never had issues with Zoom calls or other online needs. We really appreciated the service we got from Imane, Abdo and Saad. Saad treating us like royalty. He is amazing and took care of every detail at breakfast and at dinner. Also, thank you to Fawzi (the owner) for welcoming us at the start of our stay and giving us so much useful information. We really recommend staying at Riad Mboja. If the they have availably you should stay there even if it is more expensive than other Riads - you will not regret spending the little bit more. It is so worth it.

Riad Mboja Chez Alibaba is a very tranquil and relaxing environment, with friendly staff and well-appointed rooms, only a 20-25 minute walk to the Souks and the main square of Jamaa el-Fnaa. Our only criticism was that part of our stay was during the festival of Eid al-Adha, during which there were no English-speaking staff, just a ''caretaker', which created a few issues when the air-conditioning unit in our room failed. However, this shouldn't detract too much from an overall positive experience.

Had a lovely three nights staying here - the Riad is in an excellent location, we didn’t get any taxis during our stay because it is walking distance to all of the main sites. We also used the shuttle transport from the Riad which was very convenient! The terrace is also a lovely place to relax after a long day, and has gorgeous views of the city. All of the staff were very nice and made our stay enjoyable, especially Aziz! He even woke up earlier to provide us with breakfast since we had a flight before the normal breakfast time. Will definitely be staying here again!

Overall it's an absolute gem of a place. Quiet location, lovely friendly staff and a great welcome with mint tea and a map. It is a 16 minute walk minimum from the Jemaa el-Fna square and therefore other main attractions, so bear this in mind if you'd rather be more central! I paid the €15 each way to and from the airport for a transfer and I'd recommend this because it would be hard to find otherwise! Breakfast is 7-10am each day and is a lovely selection of 4ish pastries, orange juice and tea or coffee. I would say the only issue I had was that I came down for breakfast at half 7 one morning as I had to leave just before 8 for an excursion. Noone was around and noone turned up until 6 minutes before I had to leave! So it was very rushed! Also for the airport I left at 07:10 and because the women who cook breakfast weren't there yet, I just had some orange juice and a bit of fruit and got some breakfast at the airport at inflated prices! So maybe I should have given them notice, but also if I've been told breakfast starts at 7am, that's what I expect. The rooms are simple but spotless and have aircon (an essential in summer), a good supply of hot water and clean towels. The only thing it's missing is a hot tub or some sort of pool you can actually get in - I really missed this and noticed that speaking to other travellers who had these, an afternoon dip would have been lovely!

Clean room. Attentive staff. Was disappointed because they advertised that they had a bar. This was not the case. When we arrived, we inquired about wine and they informed us that they never restocked after Ramadan. I respect religious beliefs, however, guests such as ourselves were disappointed. And they should have had alcoholic beverages available at the time of our stay.
