Away from te busy and noisy area but walking distance to the souk..small cute riad and very clean..helpfull and friendly staff

Young, United Arab Emirates

The general environment of the Riad was restful,pleasing and a sanctuary after a day outside it's comforting walls. A pleasure in such a harsh environment

Memyselfi, Ireland

Riad was very clean and the staff were very helpful and polite specially khalid. Was always smiling and welcoming. Would highly recommend this riad.

Mohammed, United Kingdom

The riad is simply gorgeous. It's sleek, light-filled and morrocan touches galore. We stayed in the Jacaranda suite and it was lovely. The bathroom had the highest ceilling I've seen in a while with a dome. Everything was charming. The service was great as well, and probably another strong positive of the trip - we arrived late from a 14h drive from the desert and the guy managed to get us food delivered, and more importantly, he went pick us up when we were completely lost and unable to find our way back to the riad.

Carina, Switzerland

Amazing service - from booking to departure, with helpful advice and service throughout our stay, always with a smile and made our experience feel more local. Excellent value for money, a brilliant, calm, simple and charming place to relax. A real authentic oasis serving some of the best food in Marrakech (and we ate at some of the best restaurants in the city so can say that with certainty!)

An Inside Look at Riad Ariha

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

Area Info – This neighborhood is a great choice for travelers interested in markets, shopping and street markets – Check location

Colorful bazaars, ancient palaces, winding streets – experience the vibrant charm of Marrakesh’s 1,000-year-old center.

“As a whole, it was very nice, except for the above metion”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
눉I was expecting a swimming pool as described in the web page, but it is only a Jacuzzi! The Spa is not a Spa, they provide spa services in your room, which is not exactly the same. I was sharing the room with a friend and it wasn't fair that she couldn't be in the room while the treatment. Luckily, we were the only ones, so we were given another room, but still, there were no spa atmosphere, candles or lightning, nice smell, relaxing music. We decided to have the Haman and spa experience somewhere else. On our last night, new guests arrived and they were smoking in the patio, unfortunately, all the rooms face the patio, and ours specially, so our room was full of smoke, I asked the staff to tell the guest but they weren't firm enough! One morning, we found a hair on the bread! In terms of cleanliness, this was the only issue, but it's your breakfast! Hope they can improve and change their description!
눇The staff was really amazing, friendly and they were there all the time for help! The decoration and atmosphere is just what you need after the chaos of the city!

“Charming riad, great service but crippling location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Jacaranda Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉As realtors say, the three most important things are location, location and location. And Riad Ariha's one is simply terrible. We stayed in 3 different riads in Marrakesh (plus in other medinas across the country) and this one was by far the most challenging. It is not easy to navitage through the heart of Morrocan medinas and one needs a landmark to be able to reach the riad from there. The problem with Ariha is that there's no real landmark nearby, or the one that could be used (Sidi Bu Slima mosque) is so deep into the maze that you get lost trying to get to the landmark, let alone the riad... It is so not straightforward to find your way back that not even two different groups of local kids were able to take us there and in the end we had to call the riad to have someone pick us up. I confess that this would definitely put me off staying there again.
눇The riad is simply gorgeous. It's sleek, light-filled and morrocan touches galore. We stayed in the Jacaranda suite and it was lovely. The bathroom had the highest ceilling I've seen in a while with a dome. Everything was charming. The service was great as well, and probably another strong positive of the trip - we arrived late from a 14h drive from the desert and the guy managed to get us food delivered, and more importantly, he went pick us up when we were completely lost and unable to find our way back to the riad.

눉Really nothing but if I am pushed, the only thing I would remove is the plastic covering over the courtyard roof as that detracts from the beauty and courtyard atmosphere
눇Amazing service - from booking to departure, with helpful advice and service throughout our stay, always with a smile and made our experience feel more local. Excellent value for money, a brilliant, calm, simple and charming place to relax. A real authentic oasis serving some of the best food in Marrakech (and we ate at some of the best restaurants in the city so can say that with certainty!)
