Riad Zarka

We really enjoyed our stay . The property is beautiful. Comfortable bed, great shower , spacious room and roof terrace with loungers and outdoor shower. Don’t think we could have picked a better location either. We only ate breakfast there and it was really nice. Also it was so quiet despite being close to things. The staff are ALL amazing , so friendly and helpful . The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was due to the fact that I specifically messaged the Riad before departure to ask about payment and they said cash or card . However when we got there it was cash only . This spoiled our holiday really as each day whatever we were we had to find a cash point . Due to the daily withdrawal limits I had to do this each day . This then limited the amount of cash we had each day and the amount of souvenirs we could buy and I was unable to tip the staff as I would have liked. I really wish they had given the correct information and I would have brought cash with me . Such a shame as everything else about the Riad was just perfect . If you take cash you will love it !

Absolutely fantastic. I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of the souks. Lots of hustle and bustle all around but calming peace inside. The food was EXCELLENT, the best dinners we had while in Marrakech. Dura and Fadwa were Excellent. Amine made our holiday though, he was welcoming, kind, nothing was too much bother, and he taught us a lot of Arabic! We had an excellent stay.

They are not accepting credit card and is not mentined in anywhere, we need to use the ATM all the time

We stayed here six years ago when it was still family run, now that it has become part of a group the standard has deteriorated & the Riad has lost its character & charm. They now charge high hotel prices but do not have the facilities nor services to warrant this

Lovely clean room. Staff were very attentive and helpful. A small oasis in the madness of the Medina.

The courtyard in the picture and the location were excellent. The room did not have very much privacy however with the glass door leading directly to the courtyard. AC was not very effective. Biggest problem was communication. I was not told (but I guess should have figured out) that the car I hired through them could only bring me within 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Pretty unexpected to have to walk all alone with luggage through the medina at 1 a.m. after a late flight. The driver told me it's not a problem because it is "safe." I guess it was. Also got mixed messages from staff as to whether I could get my boarding pass printed or not at the hotel. Overall, the charm of the courtyard and of the neighborhood made up form most of these smaller problems.

Great location, quiet and clean.. right in the middle of the Medina. Best part was the staff. Abdul was great and made us feel safe and welcome and also helped us with all trips planning and provided recommendations on do’s and don’ts

Abdul was an amazing staff member, really helped us out when we got to the riad, as well assisted us when we mentioned needing a driver for the next day to take us to the train station. The riad was really nice, very lovely presentation and atmosphere and definitely recommend to others

The property was easy to find, extremely clean, and matched the description and photos. The bathroom was great and the bed/bedding was super comfortable and the AC worked great! Our host, Abdul, was fantastic. He made us feel extremely safe and comfortable and even made us an early breakfast for our early checkout. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Abdul was AMAZING! Beauitful Riad with a great location. Even though it was in the medina it is sstill tucked away where it is still quiet! 100% reccommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech!!

You can't go wrong with this place. Abdou, especially, was wonderful. He took the time to go over the map, highlight important places like ATM and banks and, of course the main attractions. He was extremely attentive towards my stay. In fact, the whole staff is the reason I booked another two nights at the hotel before my return trip.

Lovely Riad with very friendly welcoming staff. Very peaceful inside but only a stone's throw from the he hustle and bustle. Even though we didn't eat there saw other guests with meal which looked great , good choice of restaurants close by as well.

Great location, friendly staff and it's a beautiful hotel, especially the courtyard.

Dont be put off by how hard it is to find. About 7 minute walk from central market thru several crowded skinny pathways. You'll need Google Maps with turn by turn. And last 100 meters look intimidating...but you will be walking down sidewalks of local homes, and they are most welcoming/helpful, so it is perfectly safe.

I stayed at Riad Zarka overnight before a tour and the staff were amazing. Ayoub greeted me on arrival and was very accommodating with my entire stay. He made sure I was able to have breakfast before I needed to leave. He also ensured I felt safe and comfortable in the area and that I knew exactly where to go to meet my tour in the morning. I was able to request in advance to be picked up from the airport and brought to the Riad by a private driver. The Riad itself is down a few non- drivable streets but I had no issue finding it, and you can also have someone help walk you there if you need help with directions or your bags. My room was lovely and clean as was the rest of the main areas. Thank you for the great experience!

A lovely oasis from the Medina/Souks (which are busy and delightful in their own way). The common chatfinches were a delight.

The room itself is a bit old and the aircon was not cool enough. Overall it was okay and staff were kind.

Riad was in a great location, Mohammad and the staff were so amazing and helpful. The only thing I have to complain about is that the AC was dripping lots of water, which we had to use a bucket and the main big lamp wasn't working. Beside that, we were very happy.

Marrakesh was amazing, and the beautiful Riad Zarka was truly a great choice for accomodations. Fantastic staff. Delicious breakfast! We felt very at home in this unique property. Steps away from all the action!

Wonderful staff. They were very accommodating. Set up breakfast early for us. Had the best beef tagine there. And even had our boarding pass les printed. Beautiful quiet place. Don’t forget to go up to the roof. If we had more time we would have spent the day and night there
