Great stay due to wonderful hosts
Location of the riad was good, very central. The condition of the riad needs to be updated. This is not a 3 star riad, there was no king bed, the singles bed was more a couch, bedding was not premium, the "mattress" was caved in. There were no toiletries and the lighting in the room some was not working and it's very dim. Overall, we had a great stay because the host and staff were amazing. Service was beyond expected and this made up for the stay. Thank you Ismile , Mohamed and the cleaning ladies, we enjoyed the tea, great conversations and light breakfast moroccan pancakes with olives.

Nice classis Riad, specially for the people who likes old Arabic style designs will love this accomondation. Breakfast was good, with Maroccain style bread.
The hosts Ali and Mohammed are very nice people, helping you with everthing you need. If you need a day trip to other cities (advisable) , ask them so they can arrange it for you.
There are beautifull cities nearby Marrakech which are worth to visit.
The price/quality of this hotel is very good, for what you pay for more than reasonable. I would highly advice this hotel to the visitors of Marrakech.

Riad L'arabesque: points forts: la localisation proche de tout à pied, le calme, le petit déjeuner compris, le personnel sympa, ... vous pouvez y séjourner sans soucis.
Awesome riad. Food was delicious with a different meal every night. Yassine and Ali were super friendly. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. Well located in the center of the medina. We arranged a transportation from the airport. We are a family with two young kids.
Wonderful experience. Great hosts! Central location close to big square. Had a great time. Thank you

Location del riad nella medina molto comoda, raggiungibile con tutto sommato poca fatica ed in ogni caso molto tranquilla e silenziosa
Personale simpatico, sempre molto affabile e disponibilissimo
servizio di wifi efficace
colazione ottima, genuina ed abbondante con prodotti freschi (pancakes, torta fatta in casa e pane con ottime marmellate)
ambiente un po vissuto ma sempre abbastanza curato e oltremodo pulito (nessun cattivo odore avvertibile in tutta la struttura)
letti forse un po piccoli e tendenzialmente duri tutto sommato pero' puliti ed abbastanza comodi

The location was an ideal few minute walk to the sqaure where all the action was happening. Yousef made it so comfortable to ask questions. He noticed that we were a little nervous to find a certain restaurant so he walked us there. I recommend also getting the taxi service to and from the Riad. They were prompt and it was a comfortable ride. Worth the money overall. Breakfast was awesome! Would stay here again.

Oasi di relax nella medina
Il Riad è posto in una traversa a circa 300m dall piazza Jamaa, si presenta abbastanza bene, la pulizia è ottima; personale disponibilissimo, Reda e Yousef si sono rilevati gentilissimi e disponibilissimi. Colazione locale ottima, cena buona anche se non si può scegliere quello che si vuole, ma questo è un problema di tutto il Marocco. Camere più piccole rispetto alle foto, ma comunque letti comodi, bagni puliti, e acqua sempre calda. Una vera oasi di silenzio nel chiasso della medina. CONSIGLIATISSIMO

Lovely Riad
Such a lovely little place with friendly staff. Our family of 4 had the Baha’i room which was quite spacious with a queen and 2 twins. Breakfast was pastries, orange juice and coffee. The Riad is located on the Medina path so you cannot drive to it. Lots of people will ‘help’ you get to the hotel but they will likely lead you off the Medina path and all around and back to the Medina path for a fee. Just keep on the main path and look for the sign hanging above to direct you, it is several minutes walk from either the road way nearest or from the main square.

Un petit bijoux
Nous avons passé une nuit dans ce magnifique Riad très près de la Place Jemaa el-Fna, c'est un havre de paix avec un personnel aux petits soins, très chaleureux, nous avons dîné un excellent tajine dans un salon spécialement décoré pour l'occasion.
Je recommande

Faire un effort à la terrasse
Tout était bien la gentillesse, les déjeuners, les repas. Prix honnête. En plein centre ville, mais très calme.
Le seul bémol la terrasse pourrait être nettoyée et on pourrait enlever la poussière des tables et chaises la terrasse de ce fait reste inaccessible. Dommage

A paradise within a paradise. The staff were so sweet we looked forward to seeing them each day, the room was clean and cosy with a wonderful vibe, the breakfast each day was amazing, and the location was truly perfect; in a gorgeous little street 5 minutes from the central square. The highlights were the stunning central courtyard with vines crawling over the verandas, and sunset views from the terrace. There was a slight smell from the bathroom its true, but not noticeable after the first 5 minutes. We will be back as soon as we can be :)

"go with the flow", Let Morrroco embrace you
We will go back to Marrakesh!! Stayed 3 nights but should have been at least 5. ATM usage limited with VISA Debit cards. Next time we will only take EURO Cash along because we ended up without cash for two days. Hotel very authentic (basic) When flying back take at least TWO hours to get through safety before boarding time.

nice Riad, nice location not far from Jema el Fana
Good room facilities. Had aircon in both the main room and side bedroom.
TV was wifi enabled so kids could watch their cartoons on Youtube.
The Riad is in good general condition with nice little nooks and cranny's (seating areas) to chill out in.

Perfect for relaxing
Riad very comfortable, nice staff, good food and very clean.
Area easily accessible and secure.
I recommend both for families, couples or group of friends looking for some rest after a long walk.
Short distance from the main square and the transport.
