We had the best food in our entire trip in this hotel. The hotel staff were WONDERFUL! They were like family. "This is your home!" they would tell us. A beautiful, beautiful hotel. If you've never been to a riad, this is where you should go!

Not recommended Trip type: With Friends "Ehhh"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 20, 2008

It was in an interesting location but you could not get around with a tour guide. If you want to stay in the Medina, this is perfect but I would recommend not staying in the Medina (rather only visiting it during the day as it is dead at night). Beautiful, lavish rooms.

Riad Arabesque 2008.05.12
Recommended Trip type: With Friends "Riad Arabesque"

Reviewed by kathy of naples on May 12, 2008

The Riad was more than we expected. We stayed 2 nights. The staff is above friendly and helpful and the chef is terrific. His dinners were the best we had in Morocco (1 week). Walking to it I had some apprehension but it is truly a beautiful place. Downside - the room was very poorly lit. Put on makeup in the daylight. No air conditioning; didn't need it but when it gets hotter it will be a problem. All rooms on 2nd floor so be prepared for some steps. All in all a true Moroccan experience. I would highly recommend this Riad.

Reviewed by D of Paris on Nov 17, 2008

Riad typique, très agréable et parfaitement placé sur les hauteurs de la Medina. Le personnel est très attentionné; bref on s'y sent chez soi. Inutile de chercher où diner, le restaurant du riad est excellent.
