You can't go wrong with this place. Abdou, especially, was wonderful. He took the time to go over the map, highlight important places like ATM and banks and, of course the main attractions. He was extremely attentive towards my stay. In fact, the whole staff is the reason I booked another two nights at the hotel before my return trip.

A lovely oasis from the Medina/Souks (which are busy and delightful in their own way). The common chatfinches were a delight.

Great place to stay in Marrakech

Had a wonderful few days staying at Riad Zarka. It is situated in the heart of the action, close to all the markets and yet very quiet and peaceful to relax and sleep. Simon went out of his way to look after me, even leaving out a flask of coffee and some breakfast for a 6am start for a tour.

Surprisingly luxurious gem on nondescript alley

Dont be put off by how hard it is to find. About 7 minute walk from central market thru several crowded skinny pathways. You'll need Google Maps with turn by turn. And last 100 meters look intimidating...but you will be walking down sidewalks of local homes, and they are most welcoming/helpful, so it is perfectly safe.

Great stay

Friendly service and great breakfast. Riad is steps away from the Medina. Only issue is taxi availability, need to coordinate transportation with front desk ahead of time. Front desk did a good job getting us help to bring our luggage and connect with taxi driver. Riad is a bit difficult to find but once located, it is easy to get to.
