Guest reviews for Riad Al Faras
"• super beautiful and genuinely authentic — it felt like a real riad experience, not “designed for tourists” in a soulless way • very cozy vibe, especially with the little pool — such a nice place to come down after the city • thoughtfully decorated; you can tell someone put real effort and taste into the interiors • the woman who welcomed us was incredibly warm and kind — we felt comfortable right away • the bathroom was really lovely • mint tea was always offered, which was such a sweet touch • great location: you’re super close to the main square and right in the energy when you want it"
"• the mattress wasn’t great, especially if you have sleep issues (for me it was okay, but not the best sleep ever) • it’s a bit hidden, so you might need a minute to find it the first time — but honestly, not a big deal"
"Location is perfect and staff is very friendly and welcoming, homemade nice breakfast. Aysha and the guy who work there helped us with everything."

"A little outdated but it was very clean and traditional"
"Everything about this Riad is wonderful. The lovely lady whos name i didn't get who was there every morning was just so kind and sweet. Ahyub..im sure thats not how he spelled it. Well he is the young gentleman who has perfect English and met us our first night. He was there during the stay too. The location is perfect once you find it but all Riads are difficult to find on you first experience of Marrakesh medina but once you are inside its perfectly tranquil. The roof terrace is amazing and could only be improved with clear access to water. There is a hose pipe to water flowers. Water is a luxury and not to be wasted but some vasins or spray bottles would be a lovely addition....its shocking hot for us sun loving irish. Breakfast is served generously late we had a late rise one morning not getting down till 12 and we still received a warm welcome and beautiful breakfast. Pool beautiful but in a the main area i feel its only to cool the area not for using. Im my opinion"
"Only to put something in the box. Mind your head when steping in to bedroom...if you are over 5 foot 2...beautiful carved door has low clearance"
"great location friendly lady who runs it, she even took my clothes in when it started raining when I was away, beautiful place and ran by beautiful people, definitely recommended it! especially the icy cold AC was a treat in the room 🙌"
"nothing bad to report i would happily come back again 🥳"
"The place is amazing! Everything is so beautiful and most important, how Ayoub treated us, he is a really nice person! We will definitely go back there if we’re back in Marrakech"

"The Riad is a little piece of heaven in Marrakesh's madness and busy roads. Definitely recommend staying here, is a beautifully designed Riad, the hosts are so kind and helpful and feels so peaceful and relaxing."
"Finding the Riad location was a bit tricky first time. For a a price, locals took us there as it is a bit off the roads, we tried to get there driving and Google maps took us some other parts of Marrakesh - we later found out that old Medina is not friends with Google maps. We found a parking for €6-7 per night at 7 mins walk from the Riad. It would've been helpful to have info on the parking in the booking info."
"Incredibly nice Riad in the city center. The special thing is, that in less than one minute you're in the crowdy and loud Medina, but inside the Riad it's absolutely quiet and peaceful. The hosts are amazingly nice people. The room was spotless clean and the breakfast was fantastic. For us it was a 10/10, would absolutely recommend this place for a stay in Marrakech."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"

"I had a wonderful experience in the desert. I stayed in a bivouac room, which was beautiful and comfortable in the middle of nature. Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."
