RIAD DAR ALFARAH

Reasons why I'm highly satisfied with my choice to stay at Riad Dar Alfarah: 1. Incredible location - quiet and safe neighborhood - with parking very close to the Riad 2. Very well decorated rooms and hotel with a nice swimming pool 3. Homemade breakfast served at request (not a buffet) 4. 24/7 staff that provided us an official tour-guide and an awesome 2-day desert trip

A great Riade with a good guest service. The pool and patio are places of rest and peace after a visit to the bustling and noisy city of Marrakech. The rooms were very well maintained with a great breakfast service. The employees were very nice and friendly. I suggested that it would be possible to have a key to enter in the Riyadh, because when we arrive at night, the employee was sleeping and we have to ring the bell. Sometimes he takes time to wake up, which leaves us a few minutes outside Riyadh. Making a loud bell where the employee is resting is also a suggestion. The trip to the desert was a great experience, much due to the company and attention of our guide Mounir Essaleh. He took us to several places, always asking if this was our wish, not imposing anything. He was always available to clarify doubts about Morocco and the experience of the desert. He was a very nice company. In the desert, our camp was fantastic and our guide to the desert, Ali, was always quite attentive and close to us, he was relentless. We stood near Zagora

We spent a week here in July 2017, 2 adults, 2 teenage boys. The whole place is beautiful. The wifi worked (! essential with teens); the rooms were clean, spacious and efficiently air-conditioned (40+ degrees outside every day so again, vital), and the staff unfailingly polite and friendly - especially Sam! The pool was bigger than it looked in the photos - significantly bigger that a 'plunge' pool. Fab location, right by an ancient mosque (good landmark) and 10 mins walk to the bustling souk. Delicious breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice, pancakes, yogurts, fresh fruit and unlimited tea/coffee. Highly recommended.

From the initial booking through to departure, the staff and management provided a warm, friendly and helpful welcome! The facilities are excellent in a good central location but I would recommend taking the Riad's offered Airport collection service - (about Euro 20 for four adults). The food is wonderful and the rooms are well appointed and spacious. Local knowledge freely shared and a Medina map was most useful. A day trip to the Atlas Mountains with driver/guide Munir was fantastic even although a thunderstorm meant an early lunch and the wise decision not to pursue the walk to the waterfall. 'Walk' is a misnomer as the slopes at the start appeared steep and rough with the 'bridges' being crude and of dubious construction!! With the extra time available, Munir took us to several distant places high in the mountains where the scenery was incredible. The transport was an extremely comfortable, air conditioned Minibus

To start the Riad exceeded all the basics- really spectacular location, comfortable rooms and amenities, food was fabulous and the service was exceptional. Our room was decorated in rose petals leaving a romantic ambience and the pool was so nice in the mid afternoon heat. The people were such a joy to meet and all were so warm and welcoming! I had thought that would be all. However, the manager saw we needed a little bit of advice with our trip and ended up putting us together with a driver/ guide so we could maximize our time and see everything. Mounir became the best part!!! He literally helped make our journey perfect. He took the time to listen to what we wanted to see, made extra stops that were off the "tourist" route so we could experience more than we had even imagined. On top of it he was a great person and very funny. I highly recommend him, so much that I literally created an account just to leave a review, as I think he and the riad deserved the praise!
