Riad El Arsat & Spa

This place is an absolute delight, nestled in the little streets of Marrakesh. The gardens are beautiful and the staff couldn't be nicer or more willing to help. Charles helped us make our plans and dinner reservations, ensuring that we had the best possible experience. The meals were fresh, flavourful and lovingly crafted. My boyfriend came down with a nasty bit of food poisoning after drinking something from the nearby Souk. The staff at the Riad prepared medicine and special food for him along with a very caring touch to help him get back on his feet. Thankyou so much for doing this, it made all the difference! Should we go back to Marrakesh, we will definitely be staying here again :)

I honestly cannot recommend this riad enough. It is absolutely stunning and the highlight of our trip. We had the pool side room and it was just stunning. I spent the whole day there so peaceful. The owners are also so very lovely. They have two gorgeous Scottie dogs Lucy and Sam and so many tortoise too! The lunch was authentic, the place was immaculate and I couldn't recommend it enough. I would 100% go again in fact I'm looking to book again this year.

We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The owners Nicole and Charles, Mustapha and the rest of the attentive staff and the two Scottie dogs Lucy and Sam all made sure that we were comfortable. Not easy considering they still had a few minor repairs to complete from the Earthquake. This really is a peaceful oasis in the centre of a busy and lively Marrakech. As soon as you step out of the door you are in the thick of it and nearly all the sights are a walk away. The streets are narrow with a constant flow of walkers, cyclists, barrows, donkeys and carts and mopeds. Be prepared for an onslaught of the senses. However, at no time did we feel threatened or uncomfortable. People on the whole are warm and friendly. We really enjoyed visits to the photographic museum (great views from the cafe), the Secret Garden (absolutely gorgeous) and the Marjorelle garden and museums (prebook for an early visit, no later than 9.30am, if you want to avoid the crowds). For a drink we liked the vibe of Kosybar and food at the Tanjia oriental nearby was delicious. We also ate at the Riad on two evenings, the food was fabulous. Highly recommended.

We loved the Riad and its beautiful gardens. Our room was spotless and comfortable with lovely bed linen, tea making facilities and a wonderful view. The owners were immensely helpful and the staff were friendly too. There is a beautiful pool in a lovely setting.

Excellent service, very personalized. super breakfast we had the Loti suite with a fabulous terrace. no neighbours. very calm and quiet beautiful decor in the Riad. Our host Charles was extremely hospitable and made us very welcome as did his staff. all in all a very good experience

Myself and my partner travelled here. Our first time in Marrakech. The staff were extremely attentive, especially Irmad. Charles the owner was excellent and gave us amazing recommendations for food in Marrakech. It is an oasis hidden in the chaos of the Medina. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend! One of the biggest riad’s in the medina that has a pool where you can completely switch off and relax. Also highly recommend the hamman and massage 🙌🏼
