We had a wonderful stay at Riad Zarka. Firstly, the staff are amazing - Dua, Fadua(hope i got her name right) and Mouad. Their hospitality was expecting, all the warmth and love especially towards my kids, loved it. The breakfast is phenomenon, the fact that it's all prepared within the Riad and there is a new layout everyday was the highlight. It helps to get a flavour of all the different types of breakfasts you could eat in Marrakech. Riad is very clean, our room was very spacious, cot was placed in advance and the bed were very comfortable. The location is quite central to all the attractions while it's hidden away from the main souk so it's not noisy at all but very convenient.

The cons i am listing is more of good to haves and cannot shadow the pros because if i were going back, I would definitely go back here. Our room had non working bulbs and was a bit run down but did not affect the stay, but a little refurbishment would help. There are no high chairs so it can be a problem especially for under 2s. The pool is not temp controlled, so though we planned to get in it was too cold for my daughter so had to skip it. They could add some fruits for breakfast, maybe its not traditional Moroccan breakfast but Morocco produces so many lovely fruits so having them would be nice

What a little gem of a Riad! An oasis of calm right inside the chaos of the bustling medina. We spent 6 nights with a group of friends, including 3 children and were made to feel like family from day one. Some found the beds a little hard but soon got used to them, beautiful decor in every room, comfortable communal areas, including the rooftop for that all important vitamin D and there was always hot water. The breakfast was carby standard but if you asked, eggs would be served, we just bought some tomatoes and feta in addition. An extra special shout out for Simmo, Fadwa and Ouwa, just gorgeous, kind and helpful people. Always courteous and very professional, nothing was too much trouble, even printing boarding cards for our return home. Highly recommended, Marrakesh is fabulous 🤩

The Riad is very nice inside with a terrace on the top if you'd like to relax. Our room had the air conditioning which was great for the heat in Marrakech! Abdul is very kind and always available to assist you - he also organised the villa for us for a day which was beautiful! The staff is very kind and thank you to the lady who made us coffee at 6am in the morning as we had to leave early! Merci beaucoup !

I loved the location, very central of the bazaars and found it easy to go out to places. The place felt very much at home and was really lovely. Day and night there was a specific staff, Abdul, he was very excellent and helped my family and I to be accommodated properly, he helped us with any inquiries quickly, took extra time to go above and beyond for me. I am really grateful I experienced Abdul’s hospitality, he made our trip to Marrakesh feel more at home.

The staff was lovely but Simo was an absolute gem! His kindness and friendliness were outstanding! Thanks for been the best host Simo! The riad is in the middle of the Souk, however it was super quite, silent and a proper hidden gem. Breakfast was included and super filling. Simo provided us with some cake and coffee whenever we were unable to have breakfast at the property (early start excursions). I totally recommend to try dinner as well: we had the best beef & prune tajine ever! As well as their / Simo’s mint tea, what a dream! The toilet was provided with lovely argani oil shower gel and shampoo. Should we get back to Marrakech, we would totally book here again!

The en-suite bathroom doesn’t have a door but just a thin curtain. I would have appreciated to know this in advance. We had to ask for toilet paper because the cleaner didn’t realised it was finished in the bathroom, twice.

Great start to our Morocco trip. Warm welcome. Large room. Bonus of sun loungers on rooftop terrace. Helpful staff and homely vibe. And the breakfast was freshly cooked and varied each day. Location was perfect for us - quiet corner of Medina, but very close to main covered souk areas, and walking distance to the Square etc.

Room was a bit dark (one of the main lights didn’t work). And could have done with more heaters at breakfast time in courtyard. Check in instructions should make clear you’ll need to walk or hire a man & cart (5 euros) a fair way to get from taxi drop off to riad - it is confusing to find first time, but straightforward after that!

In the middle of the souk, but an easy find by using Google maps. The riad is in a quiet area despite being in a centre of it all. Easy 10min walk to Jemaa El Fna. Beautiful internal courtyard where breakfast was served (tea and biscuits were served on arrival). Top roof terrace to relax and read your book. The room was typical of what you find in a riad: simple and authentic. The breakfast varied slightly each morning: pancakes, bread, eggs, jams and cake. Staff are very nice and attentive. Good WIFI. Superb stay!

Location is perfect. Room was nice and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was super tasty. It is very nice Riad.

Everything was great and then at the end when we settled the bill, we paid for the taxi to go to the airport which was supposed to be waiting for us at 3:00am. In the end, the taxi did not come. The gentleman who carried our luggage helped us so that we wouldn't be late for the plane. Because he had a phone and that's how we found out that the taxi wouldn't come no matter paid 16 euros (160 dirhams) in advance.

We had an amazing time at Riad Zarka! The place itself is beautiful and the location is perfect to explore Marrakesch, but what made our stay so great was the whole team at Riad Zarka. Nader, the absolutely kind host, and his colleagues made sure that we had everything we needed and we felt absolutely welcome.

The position is in the center of the medina, very close to the Place des Epices, one of the nicest part of the city. 5 min by walk from the Secret Garden and the main square of Marrakesh. The deluxe room is as big as a suite. The inner garden is super elegant and comfortable, perfect for having a moroccan tea in total relax.

The wifi sometime is very slow from the room
