    Nothing!

    An oasis of calm. Superlative service and hospitality during our entire stay from the staff. The rooms were in keeping with the riad with lovely artwork adorning the walls. The breakfasts were homely with super coffee, jams and bread. The terrace is a great sunspot with great views of the city. One of our party had an unfortunate accident in the city and Ayoub was amazing in looking after her.

    We do not speak French and the owners English was only a little better than our French and there were miscommunications. An example, the owner reserved a taxi for us to catch the train in Marrakech. The porter brought our baggages to the parking lot outside the Medina but no taxi and the porter did not know what to do. I had to ran back to the riad trying to clarify the situation. It was eventually resolved but caused some delay and anxieties!

    A beautiful place with nice courtyard and beautiful rooftop porch for breakfast. The owner are very friendly and helpful. The lady cooked breakfast egg and pancake for us and they were delicious. They also provided a lot of nice and fresh fruits which we did not get in other Morocco places we stayed.

    Very little to dislike except the acrid smokey smell at times think this came from kitchen downstairs.

    Good location right in the medina, close to souks restaurants and the beach. Breakfast cooked to order every morning choice of pancakes, omelette boiled eggs with freshly squeezed juice, coffee, yoghurt and fruits. Very comfortable and homely riad with a spacious room large bed for two, good shower always hot water. No aircon needed as can kept large window open at night. Slept very well. Room cleaned daily. Fresh towels regularly. Beach towels provided. Free laundry service as stayed a week. Nice terrace can chill on sunloungers. Also being a cat lover, loved the three or maybe four riad cats especially the ‘wobbly cat’ she was gorgeous!

    This is a beautiful property, spotlessly clean and with lovely staff. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. The terrace is a gorgeous space with comfortable seating.

    We found the beds a bit too hard, and, strangely, the same for the seats in the room. Otherwise fine.

    Charming welcome from the lovely lady who runs the place. The breakfaast was truly good. Amazing decor in a fine setting. Great location.

    Noise in the evening from the narrow alley at the entrance of the Riad.

    Absolutely nothing

    Everything. We have been traveling internationally for over 40 years and this is the best value hotel we have ever stayed in. The owner of the hotel Fatima is exceptionally kind and gracious … and makes incredibly delicious omelets for breakfast. Great food, lovely decor, immaculately clean … the attention to detail is simply amazing. We feel lucky to have found Riad Arambys!

    We arrived very tired and would have liked to be able to arrange a luggage cart thru the Riad - they didn't answer the phone.

    Nice small friendly Riad. The breakfast was pretty minimal but we bought a melon in the market (for $1!) and they happily cut it up for us to add to our meal.

    The communication before arrival was a bit peculiar, no response or long response time, one-word answers what made me think at some point that it was maybe a bad choice. But finally everything turned out well.

    Beautiful place to stay, very well located, good breakfast, nice rooftop, good value for money, definitely recommend.
