My stay at Riad Alena in Marrakesh was absolutely good, though I was sad to leave after just a few nights. The staff, especially Louis, Soulaimane, and Alba, made me feel like a treasured guest in a home away from home. While the location was perfect—quiet yet close to the Medina's action—light sleepers might hear some movement due to the Riad’s intimate size. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 10! 🌟
