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.

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.

Great place to stay in Marrakech
Had a wonderful few days staying at Riad Zarka. It is situated in the heart of the action, close to all the markets and yet very quiet and peaceful to relax and sleep. Simon went out of his way to look after me, even leaving out a flask of coffee and some breakfast for a 6am start for a tour.

Cute and relaxing Riad in central position
I stayed there for 1 night, I was traveling alone and the central position was perfect to walk around alone even at night. They were nice and caring.
The breakfast was very good and relaxing in the patio

Great stay
Friendly service and great breakfast. Riad is steps away from the Medina. Only issue is taxi availability, need to coordinate transportation with front desk ahead of time. Front desk did a good job getting us help to bring our luggage and connect with taxi driver. Riad is a bit difficult to find but once located, it is easy to get to.

Brilliant stay and much needed
The stay was very calm and the staff was brilliant and very sweet and talkative especially Oussama who helped us a lot and generally was a nice person. The room had good aircondition, a nice bed and a big and good bathroom.
The only negative is that it's a bit difficult to find especially at night so be sure to download directions or get a SIM card with internet from the airport.
