The property was nice but it didn’t look quite like the pictures everything seemed larger than what it actually was. Breakfast was decent and the staff were nice and provided good suggestions for dining. Location was great.

Overall good
Lovely. Not the location they had on Google which is a sham as that’s how I found them initially. They also said their card machine “wasn’t working” when we went to pay at the end which was annoying as we were told we could pay by card. They were good about vegan food for my partner. Our room was on the ground floor so didn’t feel like we had much privacy. The pool is lovely and the rooftop is nice. They organised an airport pick up for us which was nice. €18 though when our return cost half that.

Can’t get lost at this Riad.
Was met by owner at nearby taxi station and escorted to the property. Mint tea and snacks on arrival, then explanation on local area and things to see. Beautiful room and Riad , excellent fresh breakfasts. Personality plus and very humble! Location is absolutely perfect. Highly recommended. I will definitely return.

The Place to stay in Marrakech
The Riad Argan was perfect for my daughter and I on our first visit to Morocco! Very safe, clean and comfortable. The staff couldn’t been more helpful and welcoming. We felt vey much a part of the local scene.. Marrakech what an amazing, exotic place. We were helped to arrange a walking tour of the city, find great places to eat and a fabulous day trip to the Atlas Mountains area where we hiked to waterfalls, rode camels and ate lunch with locals. I heartily recommend visiting Marrakech and most certainly staying at the Riad Argan.

Riad Argan was a wonderful place to stay during our first visit to Marrakech. The manager and the rest of the staff were very pleasant and helpful, the room and common areas were beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the daily breakfast was delicious. The Riad is well located near the souk and the main square, and a quick walk to the parking lot where you can find a taxi. I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful Riad in a great location!
What an amazing experience! The Riad was beautiful and in a great location. Although it's definitely a maze it's really easy to find the main palaces and the big square which made navigating much simpler than I thought it would be. The staff is wonderful, big thanks to Soufiane who was a very helpful host. Breakfast was lovely and overall it was a very peaceful, secure setting.

Incredible Riad!
We loved our stay in the Riad! Soufiane was so hospitable and the staff was a delight to work with. The mint tea on arrival was delicious. The location is perfectly located between Bahia Palace and Jemaa El-Fna. The room was sparkling clean and the breakfast was delicious! Soufiane printed our boarding passes and handled transportation to and from the Riad. Highly recommend!
Breakfast was a feast! It included various breads, crepes, eggs, yogurt, jam, honey, cheese.

We can highly recommend this beautiful Riad. We were a group of 6 with a 1 year old and the staff coud not have done more for us. Amazing attention to detail and nothing too much trouble. This really made our stay in Marrakech and we will most definately come back here. Be sure to have the tangier lamb slow cooked for 7 hours in the Riad it is to die for.

My review is based from the perspective of a 28 year old male that has lived in New York City for his entire life. This Riad is located in a inner street, still very close to the Medina and action. Upon entry I was greeted by a young lady that immediately got me the keys to my room. Prior to arrival the owner Sufian emailed me to verify my arrival time. When I entered my room i was amazed at how clean it was, ranging from the floors to bathroom and beds. Also the AC worked very well. After getting settled in Sufian introduced himself to me. He provided his WhatsApp contact info if i needed him at anytime which i loved. Sufian than provided a map to me of places within walking distance that I should visit. I asked about our included breakfast the following day. Sufian indicated that there was no specific time and it would be ready when I am. The following day, I woke up and was expecting a mass produced continental breakfast as we are use to in the United States. I was so wrong, all of my breakfast items were cooked to order when i was ready to eat. You can tell that everything was fresh and made with love. This breakfast was a filling one. A safe cab ride was arranged back to the airport by the owner. I cannot thank Riad Argan enjoy for making my stay a pleasant one and also exposing me to the warm hospitality of the Moroccan people.

This was a great Riad in old Marrakesh. The staff was super friendly and was willing to help in any way possible. It was like staying in a private home. The location was in the middle of all the activity yet tucked away far enough where it was very quiet. The only negative thing I could say was the bed was very hard...but I guess that's on par for a riad. It would be nice if they placed a foam mat on the top of the bed.

Everything was fantastic. The only minor complaint was when we ask what the price for the laundry they wouldn’t tell us the price,but said it was not expensive ... it was about $22 for both of us. It was done well and neatly folded so thank you! But just more then we were expecting. They were very kind and even printed our boarding passes (as Ryanair charges 15€ for each boarding pass if not printed) Everything else was perfect and couldn’t ask for more.

Just what we needed!
Staying at the Riad Argan was a joy. The staff were all very friendly and always very very helpful. The Riad was close by to the the main square and shoppings areas. The owner recommended some nice places for us to eat, booked us a massage in a very nice spa and also booked a day trip for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend

Almost Perfect!
Great service and very nice host and staff. Very central location that is within a 10 minute walk of most of the tourist attractions in Marrakech. Only negatives were the wifi and cell phone sigbal from within our room was on and off because the walls are very thick, as well as the bed was not the most comfortable. Besides that, everything else was perfect!

Gorgeous rooms in riad style
The rooms were fantastic--beauifully decorated with painted cedar ceilings and high-quality bedding. Terrific bathroom. It was difficult to find as one has to go through a dark tunnel to find it. I'm usually a good navigator but found a kid to help me locate it since I did not have a sim card for my phone and couldn't call as the manager suggested I do. However tthe location is very close to the square and yet far enough away to be quiet. As it is riad-style, any noise in the courtyard travels and there was a group there when I stayed so they were in courtyard together socializing a lot which was sort of annoying at times. Oddly, there are no locks on the doors. One can't get in without a key to the riad, but after that, the room can only be locked from inside (not when one is away).

Ideally located if you want to experience the Medina and its surroundings. Everything is literally a 10 min walk from Riad Argan. It doesn't feel like a hotel and the staff were helpful and accommodating. Beds comfortable and general facilities were clean and well maintained.

Warmest of welcomes
From the moment that we booked, Francoise and Bernard went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. They arranged for a pickup from the airport and a fantastic meal for our first night. The gave a thorough orientation to the city and a pocket map with lots of tips of what to see and where to go. They walked with us to the market for the first day. They have that wonderful balance between being attentive yet not overbearing. We felt very safe and welcomed in this beautiful Riad which is very centrally located, but also quiet. I have travelled extensively and very rarely met such wonderful hosts. I cannot recommend this Riad and its charming staff highly enough!

It's a great place to stay if you would like to be able to walk everywhere. I was greeted with a lovely meal and a glass of red wine, due to my late arrival.

Excellent Riad with personal experience
Very nice stay at this very comfortable Riad in the heart of the Médina. What was particularly special and very helpful was the personal experience given by Françoise and her team. After booking we had an email from Francoise asking if we wanted picking up from the airport, we booked transfer with BA, so wasnt needed but nice touch. Instead she met us at the parking area near the Riad and walked us to the location. On arrival we had mint tea and she gave us a map and then walked us to the main square which was only a 10 minute walk away. This personal service made us very happy and set us up for our 3 days in Marrakech, which is a very stressful place to go. The rooms were very well decorated in morrocan style, breakfast was adequate and served at what ever time we wanted. Free WiFi, safe, water and toiletries. The location is down a small back alley, which appears to be very safe despite its look. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend. Thanks to Françoise and her team.
