I must first start off by saying that I have never written a review for anything before, but felt compelled to let people know how fantastic this Riad is after a wonderful 7 nights stay there. We arrived much later than planned, and were warmly greeted by Aziz (who is a true asset to the Riad) and we were given... More

After reading other reviews I expected more really. On the bright side, the riad is indeed an oasis of peace and the people who works there are very nice. The cons are that nobody speaks english (which is fine for the basics but does not make things easy) and that even though the riad is about 20 mins walking from... More

We stayed in two Riads in Marrakech (3 nights each). Both were great, although this Riad (El Faris) had better rooms, and the decor was superb. There is a lovely roof terrace to enjoy the evenings before heading out to town. The breakfasts were tasty and we enjoyed the evening meal which we had on our first evening. One tip... More

The Riad El Faris is a clean, friendly and beautiful Riad in the North of the Medina. It offers individual, well decorated and traditional bedrooms. We stayed on two occasions over the fortnight of our holiday to Morocco and had the opportunity to stay in the Chambre Vanille and Cumin, which were both great. Aziz made our stay very welcoming...

Firstly, the riad looks exactly like the photographs! We were collected from the airport and given a warm welcome by Aziz who arranged a taxi into the square for us on our first night. He walked us into the square the following day and gave us a tour which was really helpful. The riad is not in the centre but... More

I stayed in Riad El Faris with my mom for four nights. When we arrived (the riad arranged a taxi) we felt very welcome thanks to Chouaib and Aziz. Our room was clean and beautiful and the dinner in the riad was very good. The riad is in a corner of the medina, it's about a 30min walk to the... More

We would advise anyone going to marrakech to stay here, the welcome you get when you arrive really makes you feel at home. Staff at the riad were extremely helpful and friendly. Not right in the centre of the action - but only about 20 mins walk away from the main square. Thanks to Samira,Aziz and staff for all their... More

I booked my trip to Marrakech with a friend. I'd heard very mixed reviews and wasn't sure what to expect.The riad is not easy to spot but once you are inside feels like a oasis of peace.Then, I fell in love with this place. Truly amazing, fantastic service and, still, the best mint tea I've had Definitely a place where... More
