Thank you very much to Mohamed and all the staff at Arabian Riad for their warm and welcoming hospitality. The riad was a beautiful building to stay in within the enchanting kasbah and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A generous breakfast was offered very morning on the glorious rooftop. We felt looked after whilst we were there and would love to return again one day.

Delightful!

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 :)

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.

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.

Solid choice in Marrakech

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.

Riad à 15mn à pied de la place jemaa El fnaa dans le quartier de la kasbah. Le personnel de service super sympa et à l'écoute quand on a besoin. Peut mieux faire sur l'accueil notamment offrir un thé c'est le minimum dans tout les riad. Dommage que j'ai du réclamer la monnaie u'e fois avoir payé la taxe de séjour. Au niveau entretien, a fenêtre de la salle demain était cassé et ma femme a failli se la prendre sur la tête quand elle a voulu ouvrir pour aérer... Enfin, petit déjeuner pas assez varié les premiers jours.

Je ne recommande pas du tout.

Riad dans un quartier bruyant. Personnel qui ne comprends rien. Literie inconfortable, chambre mal finie, riad construir à la va vite. Personnel qui se permet de demander le double de prix pour des prestations de taxi ou de photocopie. Des voleurs, comme la majorité des personnes rencontrées à Marrakech.
