The hotel was great, breakfast was very delicious, nice hot water in the bathroom. The knob to turn on the water in the sink needs to be fixed, it kept moving sideways. Also, the bed could be a little softer. Aziz was absolutely amazing!!! Very nice, friendly and a great personality. Definitely would visit again because of him and the other man that helped serve our breakfast. Very efficient and courteous. The place was very cozy and close to everything. My favorite part was the roof top lounge . Thank you Aziz and everyone for a great stay!

There wasn't a TV in the room. The air conditioner was broken and they were going to make us wait until the next day to give us another room until my husband went back and asked very nicely for a new room now because the heat was unbearable. It was over 100 degrees. They gave us a new room with a working ac and a TV. It was an upgrade. After that the stay was pleasant.

Amazing Riad, great location and super staff

The Riad was beautiful and a great base for our city break. One road to the main square and all other attractions within the medina were 15 mins walk away. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we even met the owner on his weekly visit to the Riad who again was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was traditional Moroccan food and was very good, taste and portions were perfect. I know it’s important to some so will also mention that the WIFI worked perfectly for our whole visit as well. Roof top terrace had plenty of seating and was a great place to watch sunset and sunrise. Will 100% stay here again when we visit the city in the future. Thanks again to the staff for a wonderful experience

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A lovely riad that accepted our reservation on extremely short notice after having to leave our previous 'hotel' (Le Relais De Marrakech) due to unsatisfactory standards. In contrast, Riad Mboja had welcoming staff that went above and beyond to accomodate us, an extremely clean room/bathroom, free breakfast every morning, and a lovely terrace to enjoy. Extremely happy to have stayed here. The only 'negatives' that may be important to know: - The room was quite small. It was managable for us but may not be suitable if you need something more spacious. - Sound is transmitted quite easily around the building so may not be well-suited for light sleepers - It's located on quite a busy street, however, we didn't have any problems with noise from outside during our stay. Overall 10/10 and would definitely recommend.

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.
