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 :)

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.

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.

Place was great and location was amazing. Everything was walking distance for the most part as the Riad is right in the Medina. We were offered parking close to the Riad. Said was a great host and took care of us while we were there. Overall great!

Perfect
The perfect base for exploring marrakech. Walking distance to every landmark within the Medina. The staff, especially Essaid, gave us the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Constantly went above and beyond what could be required or expected from accommodation staff. Breakfast is great as well. There is no water fountain but water is available at a stall 30 seconds walk from the front door for only 3 dinha. For an authentic, relaxing stay in marrakech this is the ideal place to stay. Cannot recommend it enough!

Great place to stay to explore the Medina
We are a family of 4 from Canada travelling the world. Our stay at this Riad was our first entrance into Morocco and Said was most accommodating. We mistakenly drove our car the wrong way into the medina and got stuck at a spot too narrow to pass. We connected with Said on whatsapp and he quickly came to our rescue, walked us out and around to the correct location. I would recommend contacting them upon arrival at the airport for more specific direction, as Google took us the wrong way. Once arrived and settled, we had an amazing tagine for dinner (beef and vegetables) with some bread, a perfect way to finish our travel day. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was simple but delicious. Internet in the room was good quality and beds were adequate for our 2 nights. This location proved to be absolutely amazing, as it was quiet and only a 15-20min walk to the main square in the medina. All in all, I would recommend staying here for sure. Feel free to follow our adventures online at (animalsabroad).

The décor of the riad is stunning. The rooms were spacious and very clean with large bathrooms, wifi worked really well as we had 3 teenagers all updating their status! Very close to tombs, palace and only about 10 minute walk to the main square of Jemaa el-Fnaa. Although once in the Riad it was very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace which was a lovely start to the day, it consisted of various breads and pastries which were tasty but I would have like a some other fruit too although fresh orange was served. There was also a large downstairs sitting area which was nice for our 2 family groups to meet in, although there was a plastic cover on the open roof which wasn't removed during our exceptionally hot weather which made this area very stuffy. Staff were very polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend this Riad as very comfortable place to stay.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location.
Me and my friend have just returned from Marrakech and had an amazing time staying at the arabian riad. Whenever we had a question they were there to help and would always go that extra mile. We only have breakfast a couple of days but was nice from what we had of it. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in Marrakech. Location was great and only a short walk to many attractions.
