Riad Villa El Arsa

Enjoyed our stay at this Riad on the edge of the tourist district of Marrakesh. Rustic and characteristic of the city and country we had a great stay, enjoying the hospitality of the hosts Akram and Omar, plus the lovely lady who prepared breakfast. The place has a great warmth to it and the hot tub was excellent.

Just back a few hours ago from a wonderful stay at the Riad. Our room was tight but it had everything we needed. The water was always warm and the bed comfortable. The highlight was the welcome and the care taken by Simo and his team. After long walks in the old city we were greeted with mint tea and nibbles. Breakfast was excellent, it varied every day but was always of a high standard. Breads, jams, sweet treats, eggs, pancakes, crepes, sausages, tea or coffee, yoghurt, fruit, fresh orange juice. Simo organised visits, recommended restaurants etc etc. We love it.

The riad was OK standard. Stayed for a week. There is no isolation, so you will hear every sound of your neighbour. The room had an element for cold nights which was good. I noticed some silverfish on the wall during the night - not so fresh. Breakfast was OK, nothing special. Microwaved bread. I paid 165 Dirham for me and my friend for airport shuttle. When we were travelling back, they charged us additional 55 dirham because of my friend (extra passenger). Which is a joke. I feel like all they want to do in this city is to milk you of all your money. Ibrahim was the best!

I am here now, leaving tomorrow after four nights here. I am so impressed with how much the guys here do to make us feel at home. They have made our time in Marrakech seem like we are staying with family. They are always willing and happy to help. Iberia Airlines lost all three of our suitcases, which doesn’t tend to put a person in a good mood, but the guys here have shown us so much kindness and hospitality that I would never stay anywhere else in Marrakech. The riad is located a short walk from the main square where there is always a lot going on. The staff here arranged our ride from the airport and we are glad they did. The old town is such a labyrinth of streets and alleyways that we would never have found it on our own. But that slight distance is one of the benefits here- an island of calm in a hive of activity. You will love the breakfasts here. Every day, a little different. Eggs, three types of bread with homemade jams, orange juice, tea or coffee ( good coffee) , fruit, etc I can just say that we will always appreciate how well we were treated her. Thanks to everyone.

Personeel super vriendelijk. Vanaf binnenkomst erg goed ontvangen. De riad heeft erg goede hygiëne en is dichtbij het centrum. Maar 5 tot 10 minuten loopafstand van het plein. Raad dit hotel aan iedereen aan! Wij waren hier in februari en ik zou hier zeker nog een keer boeken.

He estado en Marrakech varias veces y el sito en cuanto a calidad es de nivel medio. Ni bueno ni malo pero tuvimos una experiencia horrible con el dueño. Cuando nos organizo el transporte al aeropuerto nos quería cobrar el doble que otras veces me han cobrado. Nos callamos, pero cuando nos vino a preguntar que nos parecía el precio y le dijimos que era un poco mas elevado de lo que nos cobraban habitualmente se puso super agresivo y casi llegamos a las manos... Gracias a que yo tengo experiencia y buscamos rápido otro transporte alternativo donde nos cobraron la mitad. No había vivido una situación así en mi vida y he viajado por muchos sitios del mundo. No fuimos a denunciar a las autoridades porque casi perdemos el avión por culpa de esta persona. Desaconsejo este establecimiento porque esta persona tiene pinta de estar desequilibrada
