Riad Des Arts

Nice Riad in Good Location The hosts were very helpful, especially when giving advice on sights to see and how to get taxis. Trips could also be arranged through them. Rooms were cleaned every day to a high standard and the breakfast every morning was very tasty! Very convenient location too.

The staff were incredibly friendly which made our stay so much more comfortable! The room was lovely and cool which was well needed from the afternoon heat. This property is situated extremely close to the souk but manages to be in a quiet corner so you can still get a great sleep. I’d easily recommend this Riad for anyone seeking a more authentic experience compared to going to a regular hotel.

I was the first guest to stay in a newly renovated room. The accommodations, especially the tile bathroom, were very beautiful! This hotel is not accessible by car and was hard to find. The hotel staff sent me their Google location and I found it. It is within the square and EXTREMELY quiet. I slept very well and would definitely stay there again! The staff were very friendly and concerned about meeting my needs.

I highly recommend this riad!!! I am a young solo traveler and stayed for one night and it was perfect. When I checked in I was greeted with delicious mint tea and a selection of cookies and crackers. I was in the tent room on the top floor. I believe it is the only room on the top floor and is the best in my opinion. It is not a literal tent so do not worry about that, it is very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were great- I noticed that across all of my stays in Morocco the pillows have been great which is not typical in my other travel experiences. The workers were amazing and were happy to help with anything I needed. I had dinner at the riad as well and it was amazing. I was served Moroccan salad (essentially Bruschetta) and two huge tagines (vegetable with a red sauce and then a chicken with lemon/citrus sauce). Both Tagine’s were delicious, but i really really liked the sauce and flavor of the vegetable tagine (squash, onions, carrots, potatoes, green beans, and a few other vegetables were in it). The bread was fresh. I also booked a tour through the riad and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! That tour was undoubtedly the highlight of my entire trip to Morocco. I cannot remember my guide’s name but I was picked up at the riad and he drove me around the whole Médina on his motorcycle. We weaved through so many streets and stopped at the Bahia palace, several souks that showed me traditional techniques and gave me an opportunity to haggle, and a few other sights that were great. If you need a tour I would definitely hook through the riad, it took a lot of stress out of figuring it out on my own. I also booked an airport transfer through the riad and it was €20 and went great. The car was big and clean and the driver was right on time. The riad also has an amazing courtyard and terrace. I should also mentioned that it was in a very clean, calm, and safe area. It is just a short 3 minute walk to the main square and I felt safe walking to and from alone (not during the night, obviously). All in all, I highly recommend Riad des arts, I would certainly stay again!!!

Located in the heart of Medina, close to the incredible & fascinating Square Jemaa el-Fnaa, this small Riad is wonderful. Down an alley, make a left and you walk into another world, very serene and lovely. As cars can't come into the medina you'll dropp off at the towering Koutibia Mosque. They send a guy with cart to get you & your bags to walk you in -- pay attention to the route as you'll want to remember the best you can when you're wandering on your own! We had a second floor room, quite large with big bed, seating area and bath. They serve a gorgeous Moroccan-style breakfast on the rooftop (coffee, mint tea, pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit and the famous fresh orange juice.) The central courtyard is wonderful: seating areas, couches and even a small dipping pool! The staff treated us like old friends, couldn't have been more welcoming. Marrakech is a lot to take in, just let your senses flow and go with it. Riad de Arts is the perfect, calm oasis after your immersion into the street life.
