Excellent riad in the Medina
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.

A Post-Colonial Oasis of Pleasure and Fantasy
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 Volupté 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!

Beware!!! Took money for service not provided
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!

Fantastic employees and beautiful Raid.
The Raid was perfect and the service was wonderful. The road to the raid can be overwhelming but the staff are more then happy to meet you at the taxis station to walk with you. They also offered us a mobile (cell) phone to contact them if we need anything: overall amazing accommodation

Small riad, a little hard to find
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.

Gorgeous Riad!
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!!
