We stumbled across this Riad after the one which we had booked fell through and we felt very lucky to have found this gem! Very reasonably priced and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Definitely an oasis of calm in a hectic city - very quiet and relaxing ambiance; lovely cooling plunge pool, nice roof terrace. The... More

A great riad inside the old town about 15 minutes walk to the main square. The staff were incredibly helpful speaking fluent English organising an in-house cooking course with the sweet lady who runs the kitchen, massages and a shopping tour. The staff even took us shopping guiding us through the markets - no doubt they got some kickbacks from... More

Beautiful riad inside the old city. 2.5 km walk from Jamaa el Fna. Super quiet, cool plunge pool, huge room, lovely furnishings, greqt value. A godsend after a day of sensory overload in Marrakech. The manager speaks English and French fluently and helped us to book two wonderful tours in 5 minutes (we had spent hours trying to call and... More

We stayed here for two nights, and really enjoyed the welcome from Alain (who collected us at the train station) and also all of the staff who were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We ate one night in the riad, and the cooking was v good. We were given very clear instructions for navigating the medina (the... More

This was my first trip to Marrakesh but I hope not my last. First I must praise the staff at Riad El Faran. They were all fantastic. Nothing was too much bother for them. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and very clean. The roof terrace is lovely. The atrium is where we hung out a lot as well as... More

The hallmark of this riad seems to be hospitality. They sent someone to meet us when we were dropped off at the edge of the medina, and each time we went in or out they would send someone to guide us back to the riad. We were greeted with tea and Moroccan cookies and assisted with our sightseeing plans. The... More

Compared to other Riads in Marrakesh it looks OK at first glance, but when you look a bit closer it is not clean!! There were pieces of rubbish in our bathroom and lots of small ANTS everywhere in the bathroom... no wonder! Spiderweb and dust everywhere too. Found this riad very expensive for what it was. The air condition was... More

The Papyrus Room is decorated in relaxing tones and has a superb bath tub. The decoration of the room is traditional AND tasteful. The air conditionning fights off summer heat without problems. The Hotel itself was surprisingly quiet. The roof top terasse is a nice place to take a drink at sun set. It could easily be turned into a... More

This hotel is truly fantastic!.. We stayed here for 4 nights and the stay could not have been more pleasant...The staff were very helpful and spoke decent English, and the owner of the riad aims to meet your every need. Breakfast is great, and dining in the evening was also a lovely experience... It is about a 15-20 min walk... More
