Riad was in a great location, Mohammad and the staff were so amazing and helpful. The only thing I have to complain about is that the AC was dripping lots of water, which we had to use a bucket and the main big lamp wasn't working. Beside that, we were very happy.

Wonderful staff. They were very accommodating. Set up breakfast early for us. Had the best beef tagine there. And even had our boarding pass les printed. Beautiful quiet place. Don’t forget to go up to the roof. If we had more time we would have spent the day and night there

Great stay
Friendly service and great breakfast. Riad is steps away from the Medina. Only issue is taxi availability, need to coordinate transportation with front desk ahead of time. Front desk did a good job getting us help to bring our luggage and connect with taxi driver. Riad is a bit difficult to find but once located, it is easy to get to.

What a beautiful place to stay!! Right near the bustle of the Medina and pure Moroccan beauty!! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were delicious!! It could be tricky to locate but Google maps and our phones made it easy!! We felt safe walking around the area and at night it was very quiet. If you’re looking for a modern hotel this is not for you. If you are looking for a place with more of a Moroccan flavour you will enjoy this!!

I just arrived and my room is okay but the stress is sitting on a piece of plywood - the bathroom is a wreck - chipped and peeling paint on the bathtub and sink, a very old shower, and signs of mold in some areas - I’m forced to stay as I paid in advance but I advise you to avoid this Riad. I’m told there is no ther room available. So I’m stuck with it. In addition I wrote twice before arriving ! once by text and once by the app. I’ve recieved no reply

Very clean after serving a delicious simple breakfast (great coffee!) the ladies scrubbed and cleaned the main area thoroughly. The evening clerk was welcoming to questions with a very calm demeanour. Just steps away from the main shops and square but an oasis of quiet

Great place to stay in Marrakech
Had a wonderful few days staying at Riad Zarka. It is situated in the heart of the action, close to all the markets and yet very quiet and peaceful to relax and sleep. Simon went out of his way to look after me, even leaving out a flask of coffee and some breakfast for a 6am start for a tour.
