The Riad was located in a very accessible area of Marrakech - only a short walk from the access to the Medina and near the Jewish Quarter. The Riad was very well presented and had lots of interesting artwork and furnishings. The staff were all very friendly and polite and Houdaifa went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, from mint tea on our arrival, giving us a very detailed map of the Medina and booking us a table at one of the best restaurants in the Medina one evening. We stayed in a suite on the top floor and enjoyed views of the storks in their nests in El Badi Palace from our terrace. We felt a sense of calm and peace when we got back to our Riad after a day of sightseeing - just what we needed.

This is my favorite of all the places we stayed in our 2 week tour of Morocco. The multilingual staff is the absolute best; offering advice on where to go and what to see complete with maps, buying spices for us in the market to ensure we paid an appropriate price, making reservations, ordering takeout for us one night when we were too exhausted to go back out and welcoming us “home” at the end of a long day exploring. We stayed in Nours, which has a bedroom, bathroom, private sitting area and private rooftop terrace, and enjoyed a few hours respite from the hustle of Marrakech each afternoon. Delicious breakfast is served each morning, fruit is always available and whenever we asked for anything the staff was happy to help. The RIAD is on a quiet street away from traffic but just minutes walk from the Bahia Palace and main sites. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this your home in Marrakech.

We wanted to get an authentic Moroccan experience and Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse was perfect! The medina is just as you would expect, but we were still surprised when our driver stopped and said, \"We are here\"! The chaos and heat on the street is a perfect introduction to the peace and beauty of Mohammed's oasis.

The building is beautiful, with a courtyard and dining area on the ground floor. Our 2 room suite was perfect for our family of 4. The beds were very comfortable and clean with The rooftop terrace is so pretty although we didn't spend much time up there. The breakfast is wonderful, with a wide variety of fruit, quiche, pastries, coffee, tea and fresh squeezed juice. They will prepare it for whatever time you'd like, no pressure.

Lovely Riad & hosts who were more welcoming than you could imagine. Our room on the roof was spotless & comfortable & we enjoyed to sit on our terrace in the evenings. Breakfasts were plentiful & good & the dinner we enjoyed in the Riad one evening was really good. Thanks to all the team for their wonderful attention.

Fabulous Riad in great lcation

We stayed for 3 nights. The riad is lovely, our room (bahia) was a nice size for a couple. Nicely decorated, comfy bed, and hot shower! The owners go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The breakfasts were tasty and plentiful. The terrace was a nice place to relax, especially fascinating was watching the storks nesting on the adjoining badii palace ruins. The location is perfect. I thoroughly recommend.

We had a short stay in Marrakech .The hotel Maison Arabo Andalouse was excellent. The owner Mohamed made sure we had anything we wanted ,all the staff were very friendly .they helped getting my boarding pass printed .The breakfast was lovely and I cannot fault the hotel at all .Marrakech is very interesting and we enjoyed taking an hour long horse driven carriage to see the sights.The local people will expect you to barter for their goods which is good fun , Restaurant prices are reasonable but many places do not serve alcohol .

I spent 2 weeks in different countries/cities on a big trip I just returned from, and this Riad was by far my most favorite accommodation out of everywhere I went. The staff was incredible! They far surpassed my expectations, and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and extremely pleasant. The Riad is absolutely stunning in person, the atmosphere is everything you could ever want, and the location could not be better. I plan to return to Marrakech again in the future, and I would absolutely stay here again! I highly recommend it.

This hotel was amazing. There was nothing I can complain about them it was perfect. Above all, the whole staffs are super kind and nice. Although I can't speak French, Arabic, we were still able to understand each other and they tried their best to support and help their guests. I had to leave every morning while I was staying, they prepared great breakfasts and called taxis that I could leave on time. If I have a chance to visit Marrakech in the future, I would definitely stay here again! Last, special thanks to Mohamed! shukraan lakum!

stay was lovely. Mohammed, the riad host, could not have been sweeter, nicer and more accommodating.
1. airport pickup easy. They messaged immediately after booking to set up and had driver waiting for me with a sign in my name. Van was large and held all our luggage.
2. Checkin was easy with mint tea and cookies. Mohammed gave us a map and showed us where to go and to eat. He also insisted on carrying luggage to room.
3. room was large and quiet and cool. had an AC and heating unit. We were there in cooler rainy November, so option for the latter was nice. room also had large private terrace overlooking the courtyard.
4. Breakfast is served in dining area, but when I asked for coffee in my room, the whole spread was delivered to our room. Strong coffee, juice, fruit, croissants, pastries, bread, local jam, and “pancakes”, etc.
5. Every time we left, Mohammed made sure we knew where we were going, how to get around, and had his info just in case. He was like a dad in a good way. He genuinely cared about us, yet didn’t make us feel judged for coming home late after a night out on the town.
6. Location was perfect. 5-10 min walk to souls and main square and all tourist attractions. I even went running.

What to know: It’s not resort style. Accommodations are more than sufficient, but not luxury. Minimal ammentities. WiFi is unreliable. When it works it’s great, but don’t depend on it if you need to get work done.

The best place we stayed in Morocco!

We stayed here for three nights and it was the best place we stayed all trip. The Riad is gorgeous, the room was amazing, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The place can be a little hard to find at first (the street it's on doesn't load correctly in Google Maps) but the staff were extremely helpful and the owner came out to collect us when we were dropped off from our desert tour, which saved us having to find it at night. The location is great, it's right next to the main palace (in fact you can view the walls up close from the Riad's roof terrace) and the main square and souks are only a 10-15 minute walk away. We will definitely be staying here again when we are next in Marrakech and would recommend it to anyone!

Best riad imaginable 4 solo women & first-timers

I booked Maison Arabo-Andalouse last-minute, and I was a bit nervous as I've never booked a 3 star hotel in Europe/Africa before (I travel internationally for work and fun, and I'm a bit spoiled!). Turns out my nervousness was entirely unfounded - this was one of the best stays I've ever had anywhere! The location couldn't be better, the riad itself is like something out of a movie, and the service is unlike anything I've experienced before.

Staying here is like learning you have an eccentric uncle with a FABULOUS riad who's been sending you invites for years that all got lost in the mail - that is actually how Mohammed treats you on arrival. After insisting that I relax and enjoy some mint tea, he immediately arranged a fantastic guide, PERSONALLY WALKED ME to dinner every night (and adorably waited up until I was \"home\"), found me a cosmetics store when I realized I'd lost my makeup, and miraculously packaged my enormous shopping haul into something the airline would check.

The thing about Marrakech is that it isn't so much a place as an experience. It's exciting and mesmerizing and overwhelming and amazing, but it's full of unwritten rules and hidden gems that are incredibly difficult to navigate the first time around without an insider who really cares that you have a magical trip. Are there more modern/higher end riads in the medina? Yes. Can you find a place with 10% \"fancier\" decor? Yep. Are they worth it? Not a chance. I'd take Mohammed and his riad every time!

Excellent Riad for Single Women Travelers

This was my first time in Marrakech. When I arrived in the city I felt it was very intense. Mohammed the Riad Manager sensed this and made sure that my stay in Marrakech was a wonderful one. He made sure to offer services to me that he felt would make it easier for me to get comfortable in his city. He arranged my transfers to and from the airport since I had very odd flying hours. He made sure that I didn't have to put any money in the hands of the drivers or other vendors, as he took care of it completely for me. He also arranged two places for me to have dinner, a horse and carriage ride, hammam appointment, and got me a really great personal guide. On my first night Muhammad even had to come find me in the city as I had gotten lost. That was a great relief! I really appreciate Muhammad and his staff for all of their help while I was there. What's even better is I don't speak French nor Arabic, only English, but Muhammad and his staff and I were able to communicate well. I appreciate their patience. Lastly, he put me me in a room at the very top of the Riad. It had its own beautiful patio and it was very well appointed. The suite was clean and comfortable. The bed perfectly firm and it had its own individual AC that worked very well. He also made sure that my breakfast was served there on my personal patio if I wanted. I really appreciate the team there again. It was a beautiful stay. I would come back again and bring my family and friends.

The staff and location really can't be beat.

We had a great stay at this Riad. The location is amazing - right in the heart of it all, yet quiet. The staff was super helpful and friendly and truly enhanced our stay with their friendliness and helpfulness. They booked a session at a hammam for us that was quite a treat. We could explore the Medina and come back to cool down or rest anytime, it was so convenient. There was a miscommunication and the staff were under the impression that one of us was handicapped, so we were given a the first floor accessible room. I would say that the other rooms on the higher floors (which we saw) were nicer, but if you are handicapped they will go out of their way to make sure you are accommodated! Our room stayed quite cool without a/c, but they have them available if you need it - that is a bonus in the hot climate of Marrakesh.

Staying at the Riad was one of life's special moments. The building itself is so beautiful and historic whilst the teams only wish is that you have a fabulous stay.

Nothing was a problem for the staff and they went well above and beyond all expectations to make my stay with them enjoyable.

The Riad itself is perfectly positioned to avoid getting lost on your way back to it. I've previously stayed in another Riad where I got lost several times.

Lovely Moroccan decor and welcoming staff at Riad.

Was advised to phone ahead to and have taxi driver speak with hotel. When we arrived Mohamed met us and took our bags and guided us the short distance into the medina where the Riad is located. Once there the service was nothing but exemplary. We were tired but wanted lunch close by. No problem. A tasty lunch was made up and delivered to our room. After a rest Mohamed showed us how to get around in the surrounding walking streets. Breakfast was delicious and served where and when we wanted.
Our room was a mini suite with terrace. Very exotic, to us, decor with comfortable bed and roomy shower. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Maison Arabo- Andalouse. Also it is well located in the medina to most of the tourist sites which a previous house we rented (and loved) wasn't which had us lost in the medina more than a few times. At the Maison it was easy in comparison to find our way around.

Authentic Riad with outstanding customer service!

My partner and I spent 4 days at the Arabo-Andalouse - it truly made our fist visit to Marrakech a special and memorable one. The location was 5 minutes from the souk yet the Riad was situation in a quiet alley so it was perfect for us. The most remarkable point that made all the difference was the personable service and hospitality we received from manager Mohamed and his wife. No request was too much - the attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel extremely spoilt during our entire stay. The Riad was clean, organised, with good wifi and air-conditioning and the room was very spacious. We especially loved having a home cooked breakfast every morning on the rooftop surrounded by beautiful plants and a great view. If you're looking for an authentic Riad with a personal touch and excellent service - I would recommend the Arabo-Andalouse

Authentic Place. Personalized service

If you want to experience authentic Marrakech at its best, stay at this Road. Old world to the core (there is no television) this place will be known for owner Paolo's attention to details and information about Marrakech, manager Mohammed Janat taking care of all nitty-gritties and Fatima's yummy breakfasts - cheese omelettes and crepes are to die for.
It is very close to Medina and Jemma all Fena.
Only two disappointments: they don't serve lunch or dinner and the bathrooms should have more modern amenities.
While it is old world, there is a very good free WiFi in the rooms. And the air conditioning works too.

Excellent location - great service

This was our first time in Marrakech and we didn't quite know what to expect. What a great welcome we got from GPaolo and his staff. Nothing was too much trouble - even arranging for me to visit a dentist having broken a tooth while flying out! Recommendations for eating, places to visit and trips to take helpfully provided by GPaolo; and all proved reliable. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight, and we enjoyed an excellent full Moroccan meal one evening in the riad, provided by the staff. The staff took care of us to the extent of one of them waiting on the street corner - on one occasion for a couple of hours - just to make sure we got back to the riad safely at night! Helpful tips on local customs including how to handle bartering in the souks. Excellent value all round.

The entire hotel was immaculate (even the bathroom in our room was beautiful & clean). Our room also had air conditioning and wifi. Since we were there in August I just want to point out that the hotel has a plunge pool (although small, we were very grateful for it!) The raid was close enough to the main square to walk, but far enough to have a quiet's night's sleep. Also, we were able to do laundry for very cheap. A large laundry bag cost us about 200 dirhams ($25). A great breakfast (including fresh fruit, coffee, tea, croissants, fresh bread, jam, etc..) was served beside the pool every morning. Mohammed attended to our every need and made us feel like family. The raid would not have been the same without the attentiveness of the staff.

Close to the main attractions but basic

First the pro's: Maison Arabo Andalouse was very well located for all the of the main attractions (5-10 mins walk away from the main square and Souks). Additionally, Mohammed and the other staff were incredibly helpful. Mohammed really went out of his way to ensure that we found the right places and you could not have been a nicer host. Room is large, the bed is comfortable and the breakfast is fine.

Now the cons: We did not find the Riad to be particularly comfortable - with cold floor and dull lighting - very difficult to find your room at night. We had booked for 3 nights but left after 1 as it did not meet our requirements of comfort (the shower and bathroom were cold and overall the room felt very basic), not really what we were expecting. The pool is also only available in the summer months and is small.

I liaised with Paulo who was in Italy but responded to my emails.

This is an ok Riad - but not value for money. For the same price, you can stay in pretty decent 4* hotel which is more comfortable/superior. Although, the hotels tend to be away from the Medina (20 min walk or short cab ride away).

Home from home but a traditional Marrakesh Riad

One of the smoothest trips we have had from being met at the airport and driven to hotel through to checking in, receiving a welcome traditional Mint tea and shown to our room. Paolo and his staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay. We felt very at home and would happily have stayed longer if we could.
Everything was just as we had seen and read and we would recommend this Riad for anyone to stay in.

Like staying with family

The day after booking we were emailed by the owner to ask about our flights and introduce himself. We continued our email correspondence right until departure, arranging airport transfer and looking at some tour options.
We were met as arranged on arrival and taken to the Riad in a small road in a back street within a few minutes walk of the Badii Palace (the top floor of the riad has a view of the ruins) and 5-10 minutes to the Jemaa El Fna square.
We were given tea and biscuits on arrival, shown our rooms and explained the procedure for locking the doors, heating etc. The room was very impressive - a huge private terrace, the bedroom, shower room and a lounge. It was all tastefully decorated and furnished in the Moroccan style. There were plenty of plug points for charging laptops etc but the wifi didn't reach our floor. However the views and terrace more than compensated for that!
Paolo could not have been more helpful - any time we wanted to visit somewhere, be it an attraction, somewhere to eat or an excursion, he was on hand to help and advise, as well as providing endless glasses of mint tea!
Everything - service, price, breakfast, decor is excellent. Paolo and his staff are, without exception, superb - friendly, courteous and helpful.
We had a brilliant meal on the last evening, cooked by Fatima and served by Paolo - a delightful ending to a memorable stay.

Great place

Our flight was delayed so we didn't get in until very late. Mohammed met our taxi and rolled our bags to the hotel and showed us to our room. We were starved, so Mohammed walked us to the square to get a bite to eat in the cold, rainy weather late at night! The next morning he gave us suggestions and instructions of places to see, a tour of the riad which is gorgeous! Breakfast was included in our price, though it was sparse, yet great with fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, bread, butter, apricot and strawberry preserves and bananas and oranges. Something warm like eggs would have been greatly appreciated. To their credit, the last morning our bread was still warm because we had to eat it very early. They only speak French, Arabic and a limited amount of english so communication was challenging at times. Even so, we plan to return later in this summer. We recommend this riad!

Charming and welcoming - a peaceful retreat

Well-located in the centre of Marrakech but far enough from the hustle to feel like an peaceful haven. Our room exuded Moroccan charm with beautifully carved wardrobes, lanterns, tiling and romantic lighting and made us feel like royalty. GPaulo and the staff went out of their way to ensure that we felt welcome and safe in a city that can be intimidating for those without experience. We only had a couple of days and their suggestions for places to visit and eat were invaluable to make the most of our short stay. The room was spotlessly clean, the air conditioning / heating worked brilliantly and there was an excellent shower with endless hot water. We managed to spend just a short time on the terrace but found it a welcome spot to retreat with a book and appreciate some sun. GPaulo ensured everything was arranged for our onward journey to the mountains, even calling the hotel to check the booking and arranging for them to send a taxi to pick us up at a very reasonable price.

Fabulous stay!

Maison Arabo Andalouse was a beautiful Ryad, but what really made the stay was the little man running it! Mohammed was AMAZING!so helpful so kind and generous - really made our stay what it was. We were trully looked after and the Ryad was in mint condition and very homely. The neighbourhood was fairly quiet and a bout a 5 minute walk from the main square. We prefered that as we got peaceful nights sleep. Once again,. THANKS MOHAMMED!!! Shukran!

The entire hotel is wonderful, with a beutiful marroco decoration style. The best is the owner, Paolo. He always helped us and gave us excellent advises. The location is excellent, very near to the main square. Totally recommended!

Best Riad in Marrakech

The Riad is a traditional Moraccan house built around a courtyard with a plunge pool and garden. It is superbly decorated and furnished, it is an oasis of calm and tranquility in the midst of the madness that is Marrakech. The staff are friendly and hospitable, nothing is too much trouble. Your host Paulo is knowledgeable about the city, the sights, where to eat and drink and goes to great lengths to ensure you enjoy your stay - far better than any concierge service I have used in large hotels.

This riad is highly recommended for its location, style and comfort - I will be going back!

Haven of peace

A lovely riad in a great location in Marrakech
Really helpful owners who go out of their way to make your stay in the city as interesting and informative as possible and ensure nothing is too much trouble.

Home made breakfasts of fresh fruits and breads. The riad is in a very small passage but minutes from the main square and adjacent of the Badi Palace but is so peaceful and quiet.

Amazing Service

After a bit of confusion on the part or the taxi driver (he clearly did not know where to go) we were greeted at the front door by Mohammed. He ushered us into a gorgeous central courtyard and served us tea and cookies while we filled out the obligatory forms. He was a fountain of knowledge and made sure to ask us about any specific requirements we had. He even scheduled a time to show us how to get to all the major attractions from the hotel and made sure we knew where we were going. His recommendations for tourist sites were impeccable and he told us how much items SHOULD cost when we were haggling in the markets. He then went to the trouble of booking our train tickets for our departure because since we were travelling on a holiday he worried that they might be sold out. The Riad is beautiful....has an amazing view of the storks at the Badii Palace and is well located. A short walk to the Djemaa el Fna (the main square) as well as other major tourist sites within the Medina, it is also far enough away from the night time noise that you get a wonderful relaxing get away. We will definately return to this Riad for it's prime location, beautiful rooms and of course the BEST SERVICE we received in Morocco. I would sleep outside on the roof just to have that service again.

O Riad Maison Arabo-Andalous, além de
muito bem localizado, é um lugar maravilhoso. Daqueles que dá pena ter que partir. Com arquitetura típica com pátio interno e balcões, decoração charmosa e quarto amplo e confortável, café da manhã delicioso e o serviço atencioso de Hassan e sua equipe, sempre muito prestativos e com um sorriso no rosto, eu não poderia ter tido uma estadia melhor.

Fantastic

Fantastic Riad to stay at for our family. The facilities and rooms are great, beautiful and clean. The breakfast was great as well. Our host, Houdaifa, was very nice, friendly and helpful, and so was the rest of the staff. The location is perfect and safe. It is located at the back of El Badi Palace, so it is quiet and peaceful, yet in short walking distance to everything. We would definitely choose this Riad again, should we return to Marrakesh, and we can highly recommend it.

Extraordinaire séjour de 7 nuits

Un séjour tout simplement merveilleux dans un véritable havre de paix en plein Marrakech. Le Riad est magnifiquement décoré, propreté impeccable et surtout avec un accueil très chaleureux, une équipe aux petits soins des hôtes. Mohamed saura organiser vos excursions Younès Zara et Fatima sauront vous régaler de leurs petits déjeuners délicieusement gargantuesques. Un immense merci à toi Paolo pour ta passion à rendre notre séjour le plus merveilleux possible, merci à Kader également pour tous ses bons conseils. A bientôt nous reviendrons merci encore.

Very nice and quite Riad with a great staff

We stayed in Marrakech for Christmas 2019 for four nights. GianPaolo and Mohammed were really helpful with the arrangements around our stay. They organized a pick up from and shuttle to the airport. At the Riad the futher staff Younes, Fatima and Zahra were always really nice and forthcoming with just about everything.

Our room itself was on the upper floor and had a nice rooftop where we could sunbathe during lunch time. The riad itself being quite close to the main attractions like Mellah, Jamah el Fna and the Baadi palace for instance, was really quiet. In December it can get really chilly at night and in the morning. But we had a heater in the mail living room and bathroom and an AC that can heat in our room. One day when we got back from a day trip to Casablanca late in the evening, Younes even pre heated our room, which was awesome.

Breakfast with fresh Orange juice and great marmelade and Morrocan style Omelette for instance was always really plenty and very delicious. When we left very early for Casablanca they even prepared a take away bag for us und arranged a cab from the street so that we don't pay more than necessary.

All in all we really had a great time at the Riad Maison-Arabo-Andalouse and can deeply recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place not too far from the main attractions with great staff. Thanks again to GPaolo, Mohammed, Fatima, Zahra and Younes.

Une petite équipe qui prend soin de vous quoi que vous demandez, merci à Gpaolo, Mohammed, Younès, Fatima et l’autre dame dont le prénom m’échappe.
La chambre Bahia est très spacieuse, belle salle de bains avec douche, très bonne literie.
Les petits déjeuners, un délice et très copieux.
La terrasse avec vue sur les cigognes un plus!
On a passé un excellent séjour.
Merci beaucoup et ne changez rien!
