Great Stay
Great Riad with great staff on site to help with any questions . That you may have, The room was clean, had everything that we needed. The Riad set up taxis to meet us and guide us there I would recommend this service and we paid them direct to arrange. Breakfast was lovely and always came with a little update on the day

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.

Riad Des Arts 10/10
I booked this Riad for my parents who have come to Morocco for the first time. They really enjoyed the service and the location of the Riad, perfectly situated hidden gem. On arrival we were greeted by Kamal who is the main staff who takes care of everything and he was very nice, welcoming and warm hearted. He was very courteous towards y parents, carried their luggage up to their room and even offered them a free upgrade to the best room available on arrival!!
He made fresh eggs for my parents and brought them some fresh brown bread from the bakery as my father doesn't eat white bread due to intolerance.
Overall fantastic service!
Very well priced
Great location
Lots of shops and local merchants
Very clean and tidy spacious room with jacuzzi!

Nice hotel close to market square
Lovely riad close to market square and in walking distance of restaurants and cafe, if you fancy a drink you will have to search around, the riad did offer wine which they can get for you on the same day when you ask as do not keep it there, the air con is very much needed after a long day, the breakfast is nothing exciting and would advise not going bed and breakfast as there are plenty of cheap café round the corner with great views over the square where you can people watch while soaking in the culture. I used trip advisor to book my excursion as it was cheaper then what the riad quoted. The riad was not that easy to find as down a small back Street but once you get your bearings it was easy enough to find.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, at 6 o clock there is a quarter prayer and the riad is very close to one of the speakers and certainly wakes you up every morning, just some quick advice about Marrakech, stay away from the henna ladies and keep walking and don't ask for directions off the locals round the square as will expect money and normally take you where you don't want to go so always speak with more trusted people who work in the café and restaurants and Google maps is very useful in finding restaurants as you may find yourself walking down small walkways thinking to yourself..is this the right way..we stopped 7 nights.. would of made it a weekend break and if was to go back again would love to stop all inclusive,

Great place to stay in the centre of the Medina
Tucked away down one of the back alley ways but minutes away from all the hustle and bustle. Staff were very attentive and useful on travel tips i.e. taxi costs and haggling. Breakfasts were generous and the coffee was excellent. Room was very clean.

Beautiful Riad perfect location.
We recently stayed here and it was fantastic, the staff where lovely and the Riad was beautiful. It was right in the middle of Medina just off the square, this was a perfect location as it was down a small back street away from the hussle and bussle. I had taken my Boyfriend for a surprise 30th birthday present and we both loved it. We had such a great time he is now my fiance :) Thank you Riad Des Arts for a great weekend.

Hôtes Très accueillants, très ouverts et serviables et surtout très gentils et adorables avec les enfants ! Tout le confort nécessaire... Proche de la place jamel El fna, ou vous pouvez acheter de tout ! Très bien situé vous n’avez pas besoin de prendre le taxis tous les jours. Je recommande a 300% et si je dois retourner dans la médina je reviendrai là-bas !
Le petit bonus avec la tortue qui vit sur la terrasse, ils ont laissés ma fille la baptiser Arthur !
Merci pour tout !

El riad no se encuentra facil, está en un callejón y solo pone el nombre en pequeño en la puerta. Las habitaciones están pegadas al pario interior y el ruido de la gente se escucha mucho. Las cocineras muy simpáticas y amables, pero los hombres que estaban en la recepción cero esfuerzo en todo, como si la cosa no fuera con ellos.

Overboeking
Toen we aankwamen in de riad kregen we ineens te horen dat we niet in de suite terecht konden die we hadden geboekt. We moesten naar een andere riad. Toen we daar aankwamen kregen we een kleine kamer zonder bad (voor het bad hadden we de suite geboekt). Volgens de manager was dit precies dezelfde kamer. Kortom wij zouden hier nooit meer boeken!

Tolles Hotel in super Lage
Das Hotel liegt günstig in der Altstadt. Bis zum grossen Platz sind es nur 5 Minuten. Alle Angestellten im Hotel versuchen einem jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen und sind bei allem behilflich. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr familiär, da das Hotel nur 5 Zimmer hat und so der Gast im Mittelpunkt steht. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.

Hoher Service, Ausstattung verbesserungswürdig
Das Personal ist überragend freundlich und engagiert, auf Wünsche wird sofort eingegangen.
Leider ist die Zimmerausstattung verbesserungswürdig. Die Wasserzufuhr in der Dusche musste durch eine Reparatur sicher gestellt werden, daher wechselten wir das Zimmer.
Es fehlen Aufhängungsmöglichkeiten für Kleidung, etc.
Das Hamam war nicht in Betrieb, dafür wurde uns allerdings sehr hilfsbereit ein externer Hamam-Aufenthalt gebucht (kostenpflichtig).
Das Frühstück ist lecker, besteht als marrokanisches Frühstück im Wesentlichen allerdings nur aus Brot/Croissants und Marmelade und Tee/Kaffee - das muss gefallen.
Die Zimmer sind liebevoll gestaltet, Betten sind sehr gemütlich (nicht zu weich) und hübsch wie 1000&1 Nacht dekoriert.
