The road is beautiful! Nouhaila was amazing as well as Zacarías ! I truly had no complaints other then the sheets in my room were not clean and when I left my key to have the towels changed when I returned the same towels were there. They did immediately noted minor repairs needed and did it on the spot! Breakfast was great! The tea was great! The pool area beautiful and everything about this place was perfect. Walking distance to everything. Pick up for excursion were down the street or a 5 min walk. I truly enjoyed staying here.

During our four-day stay at Riad Faraj, we were thoroughly impressed. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and assistance throughout our visit (Zakaria, Idris & Nuheyla). Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted with an introduction to Marrakech's activities and treated to traditional mint tea. Though our initial room had a minor issue, the staff promptly upgraded us to a nicer & bigger room, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures from the Riad Faraj team.

Comfortable and close to the centre
It was pleasant to stay in this riad. It is within 5 minutes walk to Jamaa el Fna Square and a good walking distance to other attractions, therefore we did not need to book any taxi at any point. The staffs are all very nice and accommodating and I am very pleased with my short break in Marrakesh. The riad itself is clean and very comfortable. The rooftops are a great way to relax and catch more sun. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for a fee. Delicious breakfast is included with our stay and it is a good way to try authentic Moroccan breakfast. We asked for a shuttle transfer to and from the airport and it was sorted out quickly. In summary, me and my husband are very happy with our stay and definitely recommend this place !

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Riad Faraj. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and the dinner we had there was GREAT. On the downside, our room was very small and the floor mats beside the bed needed to be cleaned. The shower didn’t drain properly so we stood in a pool of water while we bathed. For the price, it was satisfactory and we did enjoy our stay. Thank you!

Good location but that's about it...
The riad is gorgeous with close proximity to the main square but the good things kind of end there. The receptionist only really cared about selling us trips and spa services. The room is basically just a room. No nightstands, nowhere to really put the luggages, no iron (as in the riad doesn't have an iron at all), no comforter or covers just a thin sheet, bathroom drain was very very slow so you are just standing in a pool or dirty water while showing. It's beyond me how this is classified as a 4 star accommodation

Amazing stay
I have an amazing stay at Riad Faraj. I was warmly welcomed with a pot of mint tea - very refreshing after a long flight. Abdullah was brilliant - he was on hand to give me advice on day trips, resturants, how to get to other cities and took care of a lot of the bookings. His welcoming and friendly persona made my trip very special. The rooms are gorgeous, and clean and the location is superb for the Jemaa el Fna Square and the souks, but remain peaceful at the same time.

Lovely hideaway in Medina
I was on a business trip with two others and the hotel was wonderful. Very nice staff, very helpful. Truly right in the Medina so lots of access. Recommend the shuttle from the airport (they provide) if you haven't driven in Marrakech. Glad we did. Though, they did help others park. Overall, very peaceful retreat considering the location.

Riad Faraj
The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great being close to the medina, square, tombs, and palace. The Bahia Palace, the Jardin Secret, and the Jardin Marjorelle were my favorite. Marrakech is beautiful and intense with many nice people to help at a price. Two very nice meals at the Riad. Great roof top patio.

Oasis in the Medina
Riad Faraj is an oasis in the heart of Marrakech. It is completely quiet on the terrace or by the pool, where the water rolls down a black marble wall and swifts fly over your head. In spite of this it is only a 2 minute walk from the Jmaa El Fnaa - perhaps the liveliest Market in Morocco. Monsieur Abdo is extremely welcoming, and is very attentive to his guests. While here I ate in the Riad almost every night where the chef prepares beautiful Tajine chicken, beef, or fish, depending on availability in the market. The one night I ate out it cost more, and the food was not as good. I also took advantage of the on location spa, where a traditional Moroccan massage will transform your day. You can't beat this gem for a stay in Marrakech.

Amazing 2 star place, not 4 stars.
Place is great for a 2 star rated accomodation. This is NOT a 4 star accomodation. PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE THEY LOCK THE FLOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE MASSIVE FIRE LIFE SAFETY HAZARD!!!! we wanted to leave at 6.30am for our hot air balloon ride - we couldn’t leave because they had locked the whole floor level from the outside. We had to knock very loud as there was no intercom or contact number to dial. The person then came rudely awoken form their sleep due to our knocking and annoyed why and where we were going at 6.30am!!! How on earth is that any of your business. You do NOT lock an egress pathway, ever !!!! There are no toiletries provided. Water is charged for. No kettle or tea facilities. Moroccon welcome hospitality at start then charged for mint tea that was offered. No tissues in room, when asked for tissue got given two pieces of serviettes. Had to ask for toilet roll. Room cleaning is NOT everyday. Towels are only every second day !!!! (How on earth is that 4 star????????). Would highly recommend to stay at an internationally recognised 4 star hotel and not a self claimed 4 star Riad. We had as silver hotels.com member beverage credit. Yet we were charged for water on check out aswell. Our credit amount outweighed 5 folds the amount of water that was charged so instead of giving us free water to the equivalent value of the beverage credit, we were charged.
