Riad El Farah Kasbah

This is by far the worst accommodation that we stayed in, we would give a Zero if we could. The host is rude and unwelcoming. He charged us for the internet and gave it to the next group for free. The rooms are very uninviting and cannot be locked. Given the vibes in this place that made us really uncomfortable and feel unsafe. Combine that with no heating (at least you don't get control over it), no hot water, and no bath supplies. Half of the building is collapsed. Definitely look for another accommodation, there are plenty of choices in Marrakesh.

Great welcome, or so I thought! He asked twice us if we'd like to have dinner with him. We agreed, and the meals were perfectly acceptable. It was only when we got the bill that we realised he'd charged us for the meals! He never said that at the start. Said the a/c was broken, so no a/c throughout our stay. No soap or shower gel provided. Had to sneak a tablet off his washbasin! Offered to guide us to the Secret Garden, but he didn't know where it was! On morning of departure he didn't provide breakfast! All in all not an experience we'd want to repeat.

Visited Marrakech with my partner and stayed in this lovely little Riad. Overall, the Riad is basic, but it does the job and you pay for what you get. Room was basic, and quite dark, but had enough to make your stay comfortable. It was cleaned daily and kept in a good condition. My only criticism was the heating is controlled by the owner who only puts it on for a few hours in the evening, so this did lead to the room being quite cold at times. Breakfast, was again basic with it being moroccan bread with butter and jam served with coffee. I do have to say the Riad owner Mohamed was excellent throughout our stay. He gave us a tour of the local area on arrival and gave us plenty of tips and advice on how to stay out of trouble with the tourist traps you find in Marrakesh. We also went on a day trip with him to the Atlas Mountains, which was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended. Another great part of this Riad was it's location with it being only a 15 minute walk to the main Medina and less than 15 minutes from the airport. And plenty of shops, restaurants, attractions, ATMs etc, all within a reasonable walking distance. But do bear in mind, the Riad is tucked away in a maze of alleyways, so you will get lost at some point. And it is around a 10 minute walk to the closest pick up for taxis/airport transfers. But that's the Marrakesh experience for you! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who happy with with a basic but comfortable accommodation.

This is by far the worst hospitality experience I have ever had in my life. On maps location looks near Madina, but it's a maze of little allys and this riad is at the far dead end of one of them, so in reality it's not a good location at all. Rooms are beyond bad; DOOR DOESN’T CLOSE PROPERLY & DOESN’T LOCK! SO NO PRIVACY OR SAFETY! No soap or shower gel which is no big deal, but worst of all he wouldn’t give you the Air-Conditioning Remote, he must come outside the room to switch it on himself, then THE BIGGEST SHOCK WHEN I HEARD HIM SNEAKING AFTER MIDNIGHT SWITCHING AIR-CON OFF!!! AT 44°C HEAT!!! I ended up leaving this HELLHOLE and booked another beautiful Riad (Pachavana), for about the same price, beautiful room with Air-Con (Remote Control in the room), Swimming Pool, Free Wi-Fi, delicious breakfast and amazing, lovely staff. Don’t waste your money and time staying in this awful place.

We stayed with Mohammed at the end of May, at the beginning of Ramadan 2017. Welcomed by Mohammed and given the tour of the local area. Marakesh is certainly an experience! He showed us round and gave us the landmarks to find our way back. The hotel us simple and pleasant with a peaceful courtyard. It can be noise at night and the call to prayer is quite unsettling at 4 am. Good is simple and tasty and the maid is very sweet. We would recommend this riad
