Arabian Riad Marrakech

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Beautiful riad in a part of town, that has easy access everywhere. Safe, quiet and cozy.

This could've been great and ended in disaster. Rude guests with no self awareness or respect for anyone else and hotel staff that have full conversations at midnight with guests. This IS A HOUSE, not a hotel. An echoey house at that. When we arrived the first colleague told us after 10pm we should be respectful of other guests and since we arrived after 10pm we whispered while checking in, this was no issue for us and we were relieved this was advised by the hotel as we enjoy the quiet ourselves. Well he left, and the new colleague didn't seem to follow these same respectful rules. Our last night we went to bed at 9, with an alarm set for 02:30Am for a flight at 5. We had ZERO sleep, as first we were kept up by screaming children apparently brought back to the hotel at 11pm running around the room shouting, followed by loud Spanish guests at midnight having a full conversation which I actually came out and told them to be quiet. Then at 1am a group of Chinese girls showed up, having again a full conversation in the echoey lounge which you could even hear from the roof terrace! I then asked the hotel why they weren't telling guests to be quiet. He said it's business but we weren't told that at the beginning. Apparantly checking in new guests means screw the existing guests. Muhammed was fantastic and also the 2 ladies (Miriam & another) who work during the day, I appreciate their help but this stay was ruined at the end by rude guests and hotel staff that apparantly have no awarness of other guests. Really a shame and definitely won't be going back.

Excellent riad with great staff. Not the fanciest riad but great value. Loved the Kasbah district and worth staying in this area. My thanks to the excellent staff.

Beautiful Riad in the heart of the Kasbah, very friendly staff who were happy to assist with all questions and advice. As a solo traveller it lacked slightly on the social element but that is no fault of the Road - just some information for any future solo travellers :)

Excellent location in the centre of kasha , very near to Sahdian tons and El Bahia palace . . very friendly and polite staff , very clean and beautiful rooms, excellent breakfast Moroccan crepes, bread, butter, marmalade, honey, coffee and milk, tea with mint, fruit juice

We had a wonderful time at Arabian Riad. Check-in was easy, although when we got to our room we found we had been given the wrong room (asked for 2 beds, got 1). This was frustrating only because we had just arrived from the US and wanted a good night's sleep without waking one another up. Abdul, the hotelier, was very apologetic and the next day we were moved to the correct room. All's well that ends well. The room (both actually) was comfortable. Breakfast on the roof was a delight. Only toiletry provided was liquid hand soap, so bring your own shampoo, etc. Location is in the Kasbah, a 15-20 minute walk from the main square, which is good and bad. Not ideal if you want to be going back and forth, but nicely distanced from the chaos to afford a more relaxed vibe. Several nearby reastaurants. Very close to tombs.

What a Gem of a Riad. As a single mom traveling with 2 younger children from America, I wanted to experience this but was a bit unsure. But I was delighted with this one. It was amazing. We felt right at home the second we arrived. It was a simple walk to street food and local areas. In just a few moments we were at the square. Fabulous location. It’s clean, Safe and perfect. So welcoming. They made sure our every need was taken care of and the roof top deck was amazing. Breakfast was a perfect send off. I only wish we could have stayed more days.

The property is located in an older part of the city. Very lively, easily accessible to the Medina and other attractions. Other than location, the property could definitely use some updates. I'm sure there are other riads that offer the same authenticity with better accommodations.
