The service was very good, quite professional and helpful. The riad was quiet and peaceful, except from some tv noise during the night. The main host was kind and always with a big smile. Felt like home :)

I love that it is a few minutes off of the beaten path. The local hamam is great, and the staff wonderful. There is a little glitch with google maps which gets you almost there so ask ahead and have them email you a map for the final 100 meters.

The hosts were incredibly kind and hospitable, going any extra step to make things more comfortable for us. The Riad was clean, beautiful and relaxing. Loved the breakfast that was prepared in the gorgeous courtyard every morning. It definitely felt like a comfortable oasis after spending time out in the crazy streets of Marrakech.

My friend and I spent seven days at Riad Ariha and it has truly become our home in Marrakesh. The staff is very attentive and helpful, especially Khalid, who took great care of us. He would prepare the breakfast earlier if we had day trips, gave us priceless advice on how to manoeuvre the busy souks and streets of Marrakesh, and made reservations at restaurants for us. The place is inside the medina and just a quick walk away from the square. Practical things aside, Riad Ariha is a beautifully designed architectural gem, created with attention to detail which will amaze you (if you're into those things as I am :)). Big thanks to the entire staff, especially Khalid, Loubna and Fatima for making our stay unforgettable. Shukran 🙏🏽

Our love of Moroccan architecture brought us to Marrakech where we purchased a centuries-old riad in the old city. We had it completely renovated to offer our guests a beautiful combination of Moroccan craftsmanship and modern comfort - a peaceful retreat in an exciting city. There is also a small dipping pool in the main courtyard for cooling off after those hot days in the souks

Riad Ariha has been owned by two french families since 2014 One of the couples now lives in Morocco and they have moroccan family links

Ariha is within walking distance of the main Place Jmaal Efna and the musée de Marrakech and The Maison de photographie and of course the souks. So there is lots to explore within easy walking distance

Location was a bit far from the main square but still ok, within walkable distance. The whole neighbourhoud though felt a bit unsafe even though nothing really hapenned expect from some kids asking for money to guide you through the labyrinth like path to the riad. In addition the breakfast was decent but could be better, with bigger variety of options.

The staff at Riad Ariha is incredibly friendly and professional. The riad is well located on a short walking distance from the central souks, but in a quiet part of the medina. My mother and I loved our stay in the beautiful riad, as well as the lovely sunny terrace. Thank you so much for a great stay and the excellent service!

The bathroom window opens to an alley where children play so there was some extra noise. Fortunately, we were tired from traveling to the desert so we still slept soundly!
We came back to this riad after a three day desert tour. Thank you, Khalid, for welcoming us back in the late evening and having our luggage waiting for us in our new room. (We only took a backpack to the desert and left behind what we didn’t need safely at the riad.) We found the room cozy yet very comfortable. Like the first room we stayed in, the decor was clean and modern. We felt perfectly relaxed after a long and busy three days of traveling.

“We would stay here again!”
- • Leisure trip

It’s a smaller riad and the rooms have large windows. The windows are great for letting natural light in, but it also means that noises and sound carry. You can pretty much hear other visitors’ complete conversations if they are taking at a normal volume.
Loubna, our host, was very hospitable and attentive. There was miscommunication about our airport transfer, but we were welcomed so warmly upon our arrival. We overslept our first day in Marrakech, but Loubna made sure we still got breakfast. He gave us helpful advice and even showed us where to meet taxis and gave us a map. The time he dedicated to ensuring we had everything we needed helped us feel more confident about exploring Marrakech and finding our way around. The riad itself is beautifully minimal and more modern. I appreciated this because it felt more like an oasis, which was always much needed after spending the day wandering the busy and colorful souks and Médina! Although the location was hard to find at first and you have to go through some poorly lit tunnels, once we learned the route, we were very comfortable and felt safe walking around, even at night.

We had a room downstairs, so every morning it was noisy a little. The hosts are nice and helpful, but give a weird feeling sometimes. The airport transport is very overpriced, more than double as a taxi. Ask for a detailed map if you want to find the riad yourself, because Google Maps does not work, and some guys are already waiting to escort you for money, but if you are fine with that, it is not a problem, just have some cash with you from the beginning. It is a little bit cold in the winter.
The riad was nice and clean, our room was cleaned every day. The breakfast was very nice and filling, the fresh orange juice every morning is amazing.
