  Pretty Riad, Mixed Experience

  29 Nov 2025

  We’re a lesbian couple and overall we reasonably felt safe during our stay, which was really important to us. Although we were never affectionate in public. The first woman who checked us in was quite offish though and it was clear she wasn’t thrilled about giving us a double room. That didn’t set the nicest tone. She also made no attempt to give change for the city tax, which came across as rude and unnecessary. We stayed on the ground floor. The room itself was clean, tidy and beautifully decorated, but incredibly noisy. It honestly felt like people were walking through the room with us. There was no window either, so the noise and lack of fresh air were a bit overwhelming. You also don’t get a key to the main door, so you have to ring the bell to be let in. Because of that we heard every single person coming and going throughout the night.The shower jumped between boiling hot and freezing cold, although it still did the job. There was a handy hairdryer, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.Breakfast was lovely, and the coffee kept flowing which we really appreciated. The male waiter was genuinely lovely, polite and always smiling. The riad mainly speaks French and Arabic, like most of Morocco, but they spoke enough English for us to get by.One thing to note: don’t be fooled by the pictures. There isn’t a swimming pool, it’s just the open space in the middle of the riad with plastic over it.Overall, there were some good points, but also quite a few things that made the stay less comfortable than we hoped.

  Awesome location to experience Marrakech

  08 May 2025

  Excellent location to visit the sites and markets, close to great food, but also back far enough to not be loud and hectic. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Make sure to experience all the street food, not the touristy places, the best flavours in Morocco can be found here!All up, a wonderful experience.

  Simply the best

  Our stay at Arabian Riad was excellent, starting from the comfortable,quiet, clean rooms and wonderful rooftop, beautiful decor, peaceful atmosphere of a riad should be. Above all the staff was incredible, Mohammed and Khadija absolutely fantastic and professional. They gave their heart to fullfill each of our requests.The tea they make here is the best in Marrakech. Plus the location is perfect,close to all atractions. I would recommend this place to everybody

  Avoid if you value sleep/have an early flight

  16 Dec 2023

  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.
