I can warmly recommend Le Farnatchi. The rooms were great, the interior courtyards beautiful. The atmosphere was peaceful and calm, staff extremely helpful. We stayed at two other riad's also during our time in Marrakech and Fes, and Le Farnatchi was in a class of its own.

I cannot say enough good things about this Riad. Please keep in mind you are in old town and you will drive through parts of Marrakech that you did not think existed. You have to go in with an open mind. Once you reach the doors of the riad you will be amazed at what you find inside. The staff is so helpful for anything you need. The owner James is usually somewhere on property all day. The rooms are huge and the air conditioning blows ice cold. I have never slept better in my entire life. I am already planning a trip back to Morocco with my daughter and we will definitely stay here. Get out explore and have a great time. You don’t have to leave the immediate area to do all your shopping. They have a restaurant across the street and it has an amazing roof top deck. If you plan to use the spa service I recommend booking asap as they fill up quickly.

In my short time there, I had a few things happen and staff was helpful and fixed my problems, Namely, I dropped an earring down the bathroom drain and they were able to retrieve it - This is not something most properties would care about trying. I loved how attentive the staff was and I can’t wait to be back!!

A lovely Riad just on the edge of the medina, great to come back too after the hustle and bustle of the medina only a few minutes away. All the staff are so friendly and will do there utmost to make your stay special. The rooms are lovely & spacious. The airport return transfer was superb. It’s well worth going to there restaurant as the food and service was fantastic & you only have to walk across the road to it. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil oasis in Marrakesh

Amazing little riad tucked away near the souk. Could not have been friendlier, rooms full of character and the warmth of the hospitality was first class. Great little spot and thoroughly recommend!!

Really enjoyed our stay at Le Farnatchi! The service was truly excellent, friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, we loved the rooftop and a big nightlight was the Hammam treatment at the spa. Highly recommend. Super quiet room and the most lux bathroom I have seen in a long time - but totally Moroccan. Thank you for having us - we hope to be back soon!

Amazing

Exceptionally friendly staff. Helpful from when we got out of our taxi and helped navigate us to the riad at 10pm at night. Hospitable and made sure we had eaten when we arrived. Ordered from the riads restaurant which was very delicious. Arranging cars and trips was seamless.

We had a phenomenal stay at Le Farnatchi. The property is beyond gorgeous, location is perfect, and the complimentary breakfast and canapes were stellar. The real stand out, however, is the staff. Everyone went above and beyond for you - from helping to book cars, dinner reservations, and even escorting us to our cabs so we would feel safe at night/not get lost. We had an INCREDIBLE time during our stay and I truly cannot recommend this property enough The spa is also wonderful. HIGHLY recommend!

Luxe riad

Wonderful stay at Le Farnatchi. All the staff were friendly and accommodating, the room was beautiful and impeccably maintained. So many places to rest and relax within the riad, complimentary mint tea and coffee on request, and breakfast served to the room was an extra luxury. Located a 5 min walk from Place Moukef, staff would come to meet us there if called in advance. Nearby is the Ben Yousef Medersa, several good restaurants including their own, and the north end of the souk. Hammam and spa treatment was thoroughly relaxing. Already planning a return visit.

What an absolute haven of tranquility and luxury in the bustle of the medina! The property is top notch, the rooms are luxurious and well appointed. Airport pickup is included which is very handy. The breakfast is sumptuous and you can have it in your room, your terrace or in any of the public areas in the riad! Their restaurant is highly recommended for the local cuisine, it was a shame it was closed on the Tuesday evening when we wished to dine there for a second time!! Their spa is meant to be fabulous although we didnt use it. Going by the toiletries in the room and the hand-made soap I have no doubt that those reviews are well deserved! The best part of this establishment was the service. Nothing was too much trouble from recommending local tours to making dinner reservations. A special shout out to Saeeda who went out of her way to make our stay special! One of the best hotels that we have stayed anywhere in the world!!

6/10 Good

The hotel itself is beautiful and clean with great staff. I wish if the hotel was in a different location. It is in old madina, in a part where you have to walk by an unsafe area (especially at night) before reaching the hotel. Google maps showed us that we will arrive by car to the hotel front door, but obviously Google maps is not updates and we had to use Waze. There is a weird tight garage that was suspicious and those who work there have an attitude. They were very rude. We went to check the hotel and left our luggage at car, but decided not to stay. It was unsafe to walk with so many luggages even with the help of the hotel. We didn’t feel safe, so we had to leave and book another hotel for the same amount of nights at this hotel. We came back during the day to stay at this hotel but with a carry on bags for 1-2 nights. The staff did their best to convince us that it’s safe but I couldn’t ignore my gut.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. Location was fabulous inside the medina. Their restaurant was excellent. Service was attentive and no ask was too small. I think there are ten rooms and they said they were full. We only saw one other guest over a three day stay. Seemed like our private home. Many places to have breakfast. In fact, could be in any of the many sitting areas or the breakfast room or your own room. We chose beside the pool. Would stay there again for sure when we are next in Marrakesh.

This Riad is an oasis of calm in an otherwise bustling Marrakech. It is ideally located, clean and well maintained. All of the staff are focussed on looking after their guests. There is nothing to not like about it. If you want to stay somewhere that feels a bit special this is the place to go.
