Reviews of Archduke private rooms

Amazing room with very kind staff. Really nice people. Thank you for everything. Beautiful and clean Riad, with amazing breakfast.

Family of this riyadh is very kind and full of hospitality.

Little hard to reach here but it was a lot of fun to remember the way.

Nice staff. Comfy bed. Cute courtyard and roof terrace. Nice breakfast. Not far from souks and main square. Hidden away down several alleyways, away from the crazy hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, so nice and quiet of a night. Most of it clean.

The "boasted bath" was a joke. Mouldy groat, where grout existed. No plug. No taps, just a shower head on a mixer tap. I would describe it as a tiled shower tray. 1 foot high at the most. It's definitely not something you could soak in. I was really disappointed with this as I specifically selected bath as a search filter and had taken my bath salts hoping for a nice soak. There is no way I would sit down in it! The drainage was poor, hence the black mould around the tiles. Check out was up to 12pm but we were asked at 10am when we were leaving, so we felt a bit rushed and therefore packed our bags and departed quickly.

We had a wonderful stay at Archduke Private Rooms! The location is very central, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The riad is beautifully decorated with authentic Moroccan style, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The local breakfast was delicious, and the service from the staff was excellent. Walid, in particular, was incredibly helpful—he waited for us after midnight for check-in and also supported us in finding a solution for an extra night when our plans changed.

One small downside is that Google Maps doesn’t show the location accurately, but Apple Maps worked better for us. That said, Walid will make sure to find you and guide you in if needed, so don’t worry too much about it.

Great value room in lovely, spacious riad. Walid, the owner, was incredibly friendly and helpful. The riad was close to numerous restaurants and shops.

Special thanks to Walid, he was very helpful in everything we needed

Walid was friendly, breakfast was good and  he did try to help but clearly has been put in charge while someone else was away and had not been left any instructions.

They failed to arrange anyone to pick us up from the airport as .we arranged - so we had to pay a large amount to get there. There was no private bathroom as had been promised (and confirmed before arriving). There were to toiletries, adapter, water or almost any of the other thingss they claim you will get. Despite complaining during the visit on bookings.com there has been no reply and no apology. I will therefore be recommending that this place is removed from bookings.com.

The riad was clean and essential, apart from the chaos of the Médina. Zacharia and Walid are very nice people.

The first time you'll get there you'll be lost for sure but Zacharia will kindly pick you up in front of a restaurant, which is an easy meeting point. This hasn't happened in my case because none of the responsible staff were available at the time I arrived. I literally arrived at the door of the riad just to see that nobody was in there and went back because I thought I was in the wrong place. I specify I wrote them on Booking, telling them the time I was gonna be there. They tried to contact me on WhatsApp the day before, but without specifying any details (such as "I'm responsible for the Archduke ryad) and I naively thought it was a scam and blocked the contact. Breakfast starts 8:30, which is a bit late (many guided visits start early), so the chance you'll miss it is very high. I stayed just one night, had the flight the day after and booked a taxi pretty early. They told me they were gonna see what they could do. I didn't receive any news so I contacted them again in the evening to ask. They told me it wasn't possible to have breakfast earlier and blamed "the lady" for the late answer, so that's why they didn't let me know sooner. 🙄 I'm sure people had a better experience, in my case I think with a little more effort things would have been a lot better, especially reading the many nice reviews they have on here.

Amazing and helpful staff, abundant and delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed and the room was dark and quiet during the night. Private bathroom!

Pretty hard to find the apartment by yourself but they will help you to get there. There is a mosque very close which will wake you up every morning around 6am for 5 mins, but it's a pretty common thing in Morocco.

Zac was a great host. He helped finding the riad and with the sim card. I fully recommend it!!

We recently stayed at this beautiful riad tucked deep within the old medina of Marrakech, and it was truly a highlight of our trip. Surrounded by where locals live and go about their daily lives, it offered a genuinely authentic Moroccan experience. Despite its central location, the riad was surprisingly quiet — a peaceful retreat from the buzz of the city outside. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and full of character, exactly what we were hoping for. But what truly made our stay exceptional was Zacaria, the hotel manager. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of — from local tips to just being a warm, kind presence throughout our stay. If you're looking for a real, immersive Moroccan experience in Marrakech, I would absolutely recommend this riad.

Riad was nice. Location was great. It may look difficult to find at night but it wasn’t. Breakfast was delicious.

A little bit humid in the room.

We had an amazing time in Marrakesh thanks to the Host of this Riad, who is very friendly and helpful. He will help you get to the Riad and tell you everything you would want to know about the city. The typical Moroccan breakfast is so delicious and keeps you full for a really long time. Our room was spacious and clean, so was the bathroom. Although the Riad is located in a rather calm area of the Medina, which helps you rest after the whole day, it’s within a walking distance to the souks and the main square. We loved spending time on the terrace. If one day I come back to Marrakesh, I’m coming back right here. Highly recommend!

We arrived very early after an overnight flight. Our host Zach had us picked up at the airport. and then greeted us and helped wheel the luggage through the narrow alleys of the medina to the little hotel. And though our room wasn't yet available, he treated it us to breakfast. Over and beyond expectations!

Our mornings in the garden were on the cool side, but not unusual for February.

From the first moment we met the host we were made feeling comfortable and welcome, then gradually it became like home, somewhere you look forward to returning after long day out, it was our oasis in the middle of madness of chaos called Marrakech😄. It was beautiful, clean, quiet, every detail taken care of. We felt free and welcome to come back any time, use the kitchen and the facilities whenever we felt need for. We were impressed how Zak went above and beyond to make us feel happy in a strange place, even sharing his food and amazing smoothie with us (don't expect that, I was poorly so had an excuse 😅). Theview from the terrace, in the courtyard, the singing birds in the morning and wonderful evening with sun into our balcony were so cool. We not only had a good host but obtained a friend for life. Thank you, Zak, from the bottom of our heart, Marrakech wouldn't be the same without our beautiful riad and host ❤️🙏

Nothing

Very beautiful, great location, very friendly and kind host, met us with orange juice and cookies.

Location is difficult to find on your own, check your messages from the host, because there is a meeting point from where he can take you to the hotel

They were amazing hosti

Zakaria was super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was fabulous, location was central right in the medina, and riad was a lovely unique experience. Do not use any other method than booking airport transfer with Zakaria. He makes it so easy. Would have been hard to find otherwise because cars are not allowed down most streets in the medina. Zakaria met us right where our transfer dropped us after 9pm and walked us to the riad where he served us cookies and juice.

Nothing but you have to be open minded when staying in a riad in such a lovely city. There can be a bit of noise if you are right in the medina but it’s so worth it for the authentic experience.

Zakaria was an excellent host and the Riad was very nice, in a good location close to the medina. We would definitely stay again!

Super friendly and helpfull host. Good Breakfast. Quite room with comfortable bed. I would definitely book there again.

Nothing.

Amazing experience - Zach is highly communicative and and very friendly. He made sure to explain a lot of things to me and was always available if I had any questions or requests. He is a very hospitable host and friend. The facility was clean, stunning, and professional, breakfast every morning was amazing!

At first, navigating to the Riad can be a bit scary because it’s a few alleyways deeper past the main road, but you get used to it quickly and have guidance throughout
