My heart was warmed at the warm welcome and from the staff. Cici was really sweet and caring. They also arranged a hotel shuttle service pickup which was nice to have after a long flight. The interior is so elegant and charming. I would definitely recommend this Riad and also stay here again!

Staff is very nice especially Ziad. If it wasn’t for him, I would have given the property one star only. I checked in, put my cloths out and left to explore the city. I came back and there was water all over my cloths and the floor that was coming from the AC unit. They changed the room for me but the toilet in the other room wasn’t working properly and water kept running all night. Ziad made sure it’s fixed the next day. Not easy to get to the hotel as cars don’t reach the area. Bottom line, the property is beautiful but needs a lot of repair. I will never go back to it. Ziad stands out as an excellent employee of the property

We stepped at night into a very busy old market street, full of donkeys pulling carts, buzzing vespas hovering around smoky areas, it felt like being on a set of a Jacky Chan's film. It took us 10 minutes walking to a second little turning to find our riad. We found a pretty tiny wooden blue door. We knocked on it and bent our heads to walk in. As the door opened we walked into an oasis. A beautiful courtyard filled with gigantic climbing plants , marble flooring, and massive mirrors was leading to a second courtyard flanked with timber lacy type wood carving balconies. The place was full of tranquillity. It felt like a mind spa hanging around downstairs, rooms or a magnificent roof top. The gentle Moroccan music was waving through the different areas. We felt completely disconnected from the rest of Marrakech, which was a few minutes away. The staff was lovely and helpful. I would not pick a better accommodation.

Very beautiful hotel.

I really impressed with hotel's decor. I was in Riad Armelle when the earthquake happened last Sep 8th in Marrakech, but the hotel got only minor damage. Everything is good. There's about 15-20 min walking distance to many famous places in Old Madinas.

We loved our stay at Riad Armelle. The property is amazing, and is its own oasis in the middle of a bustling Medina. You can feel the sense of history, and the furnishings and roof top terrace only make it better. Staff was very helpful and attentive, even accommodating our need for an early breakfast as we left early for an excursion one early morning. Fantastic value, too. Would definitely recommend.

The lady managing the Riad was so helpful and made us very welcome. Expedia had not sent the required voucher to them and I spent a frustrating time “talking” to computerised Bots and ultimately to a human( not having humans available to deal with queries wastes time and is so frustrating as they keep repeating the same silly mantra instead of dealing with the issue). Eventually they did what they should have done months ago and sent the voucher which then mysterious disappeared from my screen! The Riad however is excellent. An oasis of calm right off the main track in the Souk.We ate there and the food was local specialities imaginatively served. Breakfasts too were filling and with wonderful breads. Rooms are comfortable and individually styled in the local colours. Bathroom showers was hand held and not fixed to the wall. A/C but we used the windows which opens onto the central courtyard and safe. Riad is a 200 year old former home. Roof garden is equipped with sun beds and shady spots and is excellent for sipping a beer after a long days sightseeing. Wi fi works but is weak but that’s not why you go there, it’s fine for emails. Taxi’s can’t reach the Riad and so they drop you nearby leaving a 50 years walk through a crowded souk. Make sure you get directions on how to find the Riad from where the taxi drops you. Pick-ups too can be challenging but the manager was willing to contact our tour companies to ensure they were actually coming to the right place!

An original old boutique hotel in Moroccan style. The entrance is in an alley (Derb) near the city gate (Bab Doukkala) within the walled inner city. (Medina); The hotel is old with a lot of atmosphere but clean. The breakfast was good. The taxi can get to the gate, after which you have to walk another 100 m through the chaotic busy street with local shops, restaurants and souvenir shops. The staff is is friendly as are the people on the street and we always felt safe.

A lovely authentic Riad within easy walking distance of the sites. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Riad isn't easy to find, so asking the Riad to organise an airport transfer is a good idea as the driver will walk you right to the Riad's front door. Marrakech is a busy (and therefore) noisy place, so bring ear plugs to sleep.

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL Riad! This little Riad is an oasis of quietness in the middle of the bustling medina. The place is gorgeously decorated, and the staff are so lovely that they make you feel at home from the start. Food is great. They really have an outstanding chef. The property had some minor internet issues on my last day, but they were quick to fix them. Ill be staying at this Riad again when returning to Marrakech.
