    No complaints, but some things for other guests to be aware of: This is possibly just our room or a common occurrence in Marrakech, but our shower fluctuated between hot and cold. We could anticipate the changes, so it wasn't a big issue for us. We also didn’t mention this to them since we didn’t think of it as a huge issue, so perhaps they would have fixed it if made aware. The room is also a little dark during the day (especially with the curtains drawn for privacy, there would be little light), but it was comfortable at night. This also wasn’t a huge issue since we would be out during the day anyway.

    Abdoul and Mustafa were great hosts! In particular, Abdoul was present for most of our stay. He was a fantastic host, was very attentive to our needs, made us traditional breakfasts, tea and coffee when we wanted, and shared his culture with us. And even before we got to Marrakech, Mustafa was responding very quickly to all of our queries. We recommend booking a taxi to and from the airport with them in advance as this made travelling seamless, especially if it’s your first time in Marrakech. Abdoul kindly met us at a parking lot, even carried our suitcase and walked us to the Riad (cars can’t enter the street it’s in). It was just a 2-3 minute walk. The Riad is very comfortable and clean, and looked just like the photos. The room was cleaned and towels were changed everyday. The location was great, within walking distance from many of the attractions we wanted to go to and only a few minutes walk from Jemaa el-Fna square. But even though it was in the heart of the medina, the Riad was still very quiet. There is also a nice spacious terrace to relax in or eat breakfast. Overall, a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend staying here!

    Nothing! Loved it there.

    We had an incredible stay at this beautiful riad! Our hosts - Abderrahman and Mustafa were super welcoming and went above and beyond to help us book activities and arrange airport transfers. The breakfasts were amazing, and the hosts happily tailored them to our preferences. The location is perfect, centrally located in the medina, close to all the hot spots and markets. The riad itself is stunning, with a cozy atmosphere and a fantastic rooftop perfect for relaxation. The rooms were lovely, and the cleaning was top-notch. We'd highly recommend this riad to anyone looking for a comfortable and authentic Moroccan experience!

    The Riad was decorated beautifully and very clean. Upon arrival my husband and I were greeted by Abdoul who made us feel at home and served us some Moroccan tea and biscuits. He then showed us to our room and gave us all the information we needed. He also gave us information about the area and all the excursions we could book. We were served a freshly made breakfast everyday.

    Unforgettable stay in Marrakech

    Some noise from the outside of Riad. I would reccomend to remove the plastic coverage with the long plastic part going into main fountain inside of the Riad, it makes the pictures not as nice as they can be. Maybe, changing Fountain into the small pool will make the Riad even more attractive.

    Abdoul znd Zakaria are very professional and friendly. Riad is located in the heart of Medina. Amazind and Unforgettable place to spend your stay in Marrakech. We felt in love with this country and city. I highly recommend to choose this Riad for your stay if you are looking for a great value equal to price. Rooms are clean and new, great breakfast. 24/7 workers available. It was GREAT STAY!

    There is nothing to dislike. Everything was beyond expectations.

    Riad Dar Arwa is a true gem in the heart of Marrakech. The location is perfect, allowing easy access to the city’s main attractions while providing a peaceful retreat. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and cleaned daily to perfection. Breakfast is delicious, with a variety of fresh yummies and traditional tea that make every morning special. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was Abdu Ramahan. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience—offering helpful recommendations, serving us tea and pastries, and taking care of us when we weren’t feeling well because of the flu 🤧 . When I asked for help with a surprise for my wife, he not only arranged it but exceeded all expectations. His kindness, dedication, and warm hospitality made this stay unforgettable. Thank you kindly and I will definitely come back to the Riad when I will return to Marrakesh!

    Excellent Riad in the center of the Medina with very helpful staff
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The location instruction for arrival could be more clear. Our experience: The best drop-off point is parking Riad Zitoun Jdid. From there it is a 350 meter walk into the Medina to the Riad Dar Arwa: - At the yellow/green sign of Patisserie Corne de Gazelle find the entrance of the low overarched alley. - In the alley turn two times left and you will find the door of Riad Dar Arwa at your left hand. The location is best approximated at Google maps (although not alleys that are present are shown/named on Google maps) Note: Booking.com and the website of the Riad (as per January 2025) provided an incorrect location at their maps, since there are multiple Derb El Arsa’s in Marrakech.

    Clean, new Riad. Very helpful staff, the entire team really goes the extra mile if you need something. (Zakaria e.g. directly drove on his motor to the other end of the city to pick up the special medicine we needed)

    The Riad was serene & immaculate. Situated in the centre of the Medina, the marvel of Marrakech city is literally on your door step. Ilyas, Zakariya & Mariam could not have been more welcoming & hospitable. From arranging airport transfers, providing delicious breakfasts, to sharing sight seeing recommendations. A very special thank you to each of them, they could not have been anymore helpful. We highly recommend the Riad Dar Arwa & would very happily return.

    Noise from other house guests, and knocking from outside , maybe builders next door. Initially, the riad was difficult to locate as no clear instructions on how to get there and cars can get up that souk rd we was left to our own devices to try and locate it. Room wasn’t cleaned for the 5 nights we were there, and rooms are small so had to bring the building rubbish and cutlery down ourselves.

    The breakfast was presented superbly, but it was the same very day , omelette was offered. If you like traditional Morrocon cuisine then it’s fine. The host understood we didn’t like the the Moroccan tea so served us coffee, which was fine. Location was near the main square , was safe area, very busy but right in the centre of the souks. We Like the hospitality of the staff, and the riad was lovely , clean and traditional. Zak was a perfect , kind host and would always fulfill any request we had, no complaints at all.
