Riad Ariha - A beautiful, great value riad which is incredibly hospitable and features kind, professional, efficient service. I felt truly at home there. I've been lucky enough to stay at many, many hotels all over the world ranging from grotty English bed & breakfasts to very smart Indian Ocean hotels and I've never felt more welcome or comfortable.

A lovely riad well-located in the north of the old city, conveniently close to the centre but away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were exceptional; they were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Rooms were scrupulously clean and the rooftop terrace was a great place to relax in... more

This was our first visit to Marrakech and we were delighted we choose Riad Ariha for our accommodation. From our arrival to our departure, we enjoyed our stay at this wonderful Riad. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and Amina and Abdul who manage the Riad for the owner Barbara did everything they could to make our stay... more

This little place was one of the best we have stayed at in all our travels. We normally look for accommodation with good location, is priced reasonably and preferably has some ambiance (as opposed to the large impersonal hotels). Riad Ariha surpassed our expectations! We always felt the Riad was a calming haven coming from the frenetic Jemaa El Fna... more

I feel I must write to defend the lovely Amina and Abdul, I really can't believe the rant given by a previous reviewer! We stayed at Riad Ariha for three nights, our welcome was lovely, met from the airport by the friendly Mustapha, portered from the taxi rank , welcomed by a smiling Amina with refreshing mint tea and home... more

my husband and i stayed for a week here and we thought it was lovely. i can't for the life of me get to grips with someone saying amina was rude and unprofessional - she was just super. amina's english is better than abdul's, and i think abdul naturally is quite a shy and nervous bloke, hence the reason why... more

I really think I need to redress a bit from the previous reviewer - if you want a hotel in a traditional style that is managed by kind, honest locals in an area of town that is off the beaten track, this is the place for you. I agree the lack of lock was a bit nervemaking at the beginning... more

I booked Riad Ariha for the great riad experience and because of the good reviews it received. I now feel like some of the reviews are manipulated. This was not my first time staying in Marrakech or in Morocco, so I have an idea how other places are. I felt like Riad Ariha just wanted my money--they did not care... more

Riad Ariha is a wonderful place to stay. Set in a superb location if you're after the real Marrakech. While staying at Riad Ariha we felt like we were staying in a friends home. We arrived late at night & were greeted with a smile & a pot of delicious mint tea. It's an intimate place with just 5 rooms,... more
