Arrive devant le Riad ariha en sortant de l’avion et aprĂšs avoir patientĂ© 30min devant en essayant tant bien que mal de les joindres. Il s’est avĂ©rĂ© que le Riad Ă©tait fermĂ© pour cause de travaux sans nous prĂ©venir alors que nous avions payĂ© dĂ©jĂ  toutes la semaine et qu’ils ont acceptĂ© notre rĂ©servation. Nous nous sommes retrouvĂ© comme des fruits devant sans logement, sans rĂ©seau tĂ©lĂ©phone. Heureusement qu’un marocain nous a aidĂ© dans notre dĂ©tresse et nous a trouvĂ© un Riad en change. Mais du coup qui dit nouveau Riad dit de nouveau payĂ© une nouvelle semaine. TrĂšs déçu de ce Riad ariha

We had a great stay in this Riad! Excellent service all around, from the communication to the airport transfers, receptionist help, breakfast, and cleanliness. Everyone we talked to was very pleasant and the room was just what we needed for a quick visit to Marrakech. Would definitely stay again. Great location in the Medina.

Le Ryad est clair et accueillant Les chambre sont confortables Khalid est de trĂšs bon conseil À mon sens c’est un bonne adresse, la situation beans la MĂ©dina n’est pas mauvaise car proche de Ryad Larousse oĂč les taxis peuvent vous dĂ©poser mais le ryad se trouve dans une ruelle difficile d'accĂšs car des jeunes de la MĂ©dina essayent de vous dissuader du passage pour ensuite vous balader pour trouver le Ryad et gagner ainsi quelques piĂšces C’est tout le problĂšme de Marrakech ou le tourisme et une ressource plus qu’une richesse

A French-owned establishment, Riad Ariha in the old medina of Marrakech is an unforgettable oasis if one longs for contemplation, warm hospitality, and sunshine. After knocking the brass handle of the ornately carved black door, Abdo greeted me and led me to a bright and serene courtyard framed by bougainvilleas and shielded by three white fabric panels; a small fountain and pool of water emerged as well. He served me with Moroccan tea and cookies as I wrestled with the next decisions to make: Relaxing or Oriental massage for 60 minutes, Hammam with scrub, or Pedicure—they offer these and many other spa services at the comfort of your room. My exploration of this oasis took me to its roof, passing a lounge upholstered in white. The noon sun made everything exceedingly vivid: the cobalt blue pots, the blue sky above, and the terra cotta dome. But it was my room that told me I had arrived. Wearing my blue caftan and forking my vermicelli with chicken and apricots in bed which they served, the spirit of Henri Matisse's Luxe, Calme et VoluptĂ© sums my little oasis in this uncanny post-colonial world of pleasure and fantasy. Riad Ariha is a wonderful place to retreat solo or with dear friends for a night or a week, and Abdo and Khalid will take care of you as soon as you arrive at the Sidi ben Slimane gate of the medina. From there, you meander the cobblestoned alleyways, circumambulating a mosque and passing a hammam and the 17th-century Dar Zellij restaurant on your right. Voila!

We paid 15 euros to Riad Ariha for taxi to airport. Waited for taxi, when it had not arrived 10 minutes after arranged tie, we found another taxi to take us to airport, and of course, needed to pay this driver as he was not affiliated with Riad Ariha. Riad Ariha promised to reimburse us for taxi we paid them for, however, 3 months and over 20 PayPal requests later, still no reimbursement. Poor customer service, dishonest, scam. Have read other reviews with similar issues. Wish I had seen before I gave them my money. Buyer beware!

Mein Aufenthalt in diesem Riad war fĂŒr mich leider so unangenehm, dass ich 3 im Voraus bezahlte NĂ€chte verfallen ließ und mir eine andere Unterkunft buchte. Das Hotel liegt in einem sehr einsamen, dĂŒsteren und abgelegenen Teil der nördlichen Altstadt. Schon am ersten Abend wurde ich auf dem Weg zum Hotel von einem Prostituierten verfolgt sowie von in dunklen Ecken lauernden jungen MĂ€nnern bedrĂ€ngt. Ich kann dieses Hotel Alleinreisenden aufgrund der Lage absolut nicht empfehlen. Mein Zimmer "Lemon" befand sich im Erdgeschoss, direkt an den Innenhof angrenzend. Vor der TĂŒr und den Fenstern zum Schlafraum und Bad stehen die Tische, an denen die GĂ€ste und Mitarbeiter des Hauses sich 24 Stunden am Tag aufhalten. Eine Schallisolierung gibt es nicht. Von daher kann man in diesem Raum nur schlecht und mit Unterbrechungen schlafen. Die GĂ€ste im Innenhof haben zudem Gelegenheit, akustisch mitzuverfolgen, was man im Raum oder Bad tut. Eine PrivatsphĂ€re gibt es so gut wie nicht. Nachdem ich zum zweiten Mal Haare im FrĂŒhstĂŒck gefunden hatte, war mir auch dafĂŒr der Appetit vergangen. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotels sind, fairerweise gesagt, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

It’s a small riad in Sidi Bin Slimane region of the old town, pretty hard to find in the beginning, you need to work well with the maps. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Abdul is a very kind and thoughtful man, he gave us his umbrella for the rain and he walked us to our taxi at 3 a.m. The accomodation is not the best but it’s very clean and tidy at all times. The water was spilling all over the bathroom floor when we showered, a curtain would work. The breakfast is not very satisfying, I must say. There should be more cheese, both the measure and the variety, some olives and charcuterie might be nice as well. Be sure to plan your stay generously for the length of time you’ll be in Marrakech as they didn’t accept the Expedia price when we had to prolong our stay.

SĂ©jour excellent, le cadre de cet endroit au milieu de nulle part est magnifique. Quelle belle surprise quand on ouvre la porte de ce riad aprĂšs avoir empruntĂ© ce long labyrinthe assez impressionnant dans un premier temps. On a mĂȘme pensĂ© faire demi tour!! N'hĂ©sitez pas Ă  appeler le riad pour annoncer votre arrivĂ©e et demander que l'on vienne au devant de vous. C'est mieux

Such an amazing Riad, the staff were attentive, friendly, happy to help no matter the time. It is located just outside the main market but not too close that the noise drifts in. Will recommend them a hundred times over. Ensure you eat at least once at the Riad as the home made food is amazing! If you can book the larger rooms, we had the Jacaranda room which was large, spacious comfortable and just amazing!!

I have been in Morroco for first time. Experienced a Muslim culture. All I can say is exellent customer service. This people really care about the safety in a fast place. Food was really good French/Moroccan style. Overall personnel very good, friendly every penny they earn is well paid. Humble people. I would Recommend to anyone who's coming from Canada in terms of English side.

We stayed at the Riad Ariha last week, the staff are excellent and absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them. I would recommend eating in as the food is freshly prepared and with fresh produce and was very tasty. I would advise a word of caution, we got lost every time we went out, the riad is located through some very dark walkways and trying to get back leaves you vulnerable. There is always young people who are willing to lead you back for a price and are more than happy to try to take advantage of you. Staff did give us a mobile to call them on if we got lost but we were not able to work it out, ask staff to give you a demonstration. I would also recommend taking something with a GPS and take pictures of your journey as t is easy to get lost Zalhe
