The property was easy to find, extremely clean, and matched the description and photos. The bathroom was great and the bed/bedding was super comfortable and the AC worked great! Our host, Abdul, was fantastic. He made us feel extremely safe and comfortable and even made us an early breakfast for our early checkout. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

You can't go wrong with this place. Abdou, especially, was wonderful. He took the time to go over the map, highlight important places like ATM and banks and, of course the main attractions. He was extremely attentive towards my stay. In fact, the whole staff is the reason I booked another two nights at the hotel before my return trip.

Great place to stay in Marrakech

Had a wonderful few days staying at Riad Zarka. It is situated in the heart of the action, close to all the markets and yet very quiet and peaceful to relax and sleep. Simon went out of his way to look after me, even leaving out a flask of coffee and some breakfast for a 6am start for a tour.
