Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse

We stayed at Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse for 5 nights in April during Spring Break with our 16-year-old son, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived late at night, the manager, Houdaifa, made us feel incredibly welcome — meeting us right outside the car, helping with our luggage, and even having warm tea and snacks ready for us. Houdaifa was so caring and professional throughout our stay. He helped us plan all of our activities in a way that was both high quality and budget-friendly. Every transportation and excursion he organized was through excellent local companies — it felt like we were being taken care of by friends. Every morning, we woke up to a beautifully prepared breakfast table, full of fresh pastries, fresh orange juice, and delicious food. Two wonderful ladies made the best eggs — the breakfast alone was a highlight of our trip! Some nights, my husband and I would relax outside our room, and Yunis, another amazing team member, would bring us fresh mint tea without us even asking. He was so polite, thoughtful, and always seemed to know exactly what we needed. We also want to mention two gentlemen who took care of the riad itself — from maintenance to keeping the building beautiful and comfortable. They worked quietly behind the scenes, always with a smile, making sure everything was perfect. Their hard work and pride in the riad really showed and made the whole experience even better. Our room was huge, spotless, and super comfortable, with fresh fruit waiting for us every day. The riad was so peaceful and quiet that we had the best sleep every night. The hospitality we experienced was truly next level — 100% hospitality, 150% heart. Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse has become one of those special places we will never forget. We truly felt like we were at home. Marrakech itself is full of energy and amazing things to do, and thanks to Houdaifa’s help and recommendations, we were able to experience so much in a comfortable, stress-free way. Whether it was arranging the best private car service or helping us by phone when we needed something while out and about, Houdaifa was always there for us. Thank you to the entire team at Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse — you are truly the best! We will always think of you and are so grateful for the memories you helped create. We cannot wait to come back one day!

Marakesh is pretty full on and this riad was a total oasis. The main plus is the staff who are absolutely superb and extremely helpful. They speak Arabic, English and French and for complex matters the owner is on Watsapp. They helped us so much with all sorts of arrangements and advice. The room was excellent. We picked one with a living room and large terrace which was a perfect oasis from the craziness of Marakesh. The food at breakfast was plentiful and really tasty. Nothing was too much trouble. You won't regret your choice.

My wife and I recently visited Marrakech. We had a wonderful sojourn there, not only because it is a great city, with many places that we thoroughly enjoyed visiting (Djemaa el-Fnaa, the Bahia Palace, Medersa Ben Youssef, the Saadian Tombs, and the Jardin Majorelle were our favourites), but also because we had a great place to stay at while we were in the city for six nights – the Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse. The Riad, housed in a building dating from the 17th century, is designed and furnished in the traditional Moroccan style, and is strategically located, very close to the Djemaa el-Fnaa, the Bahia Palace, the Medina, the Saadian Tombs, and Marrakech’s famous souks. We had a very comfortable stay ... we had a spacious suite, with a lovely large bathroom. But most importantly, the owners of the Riad, G. Paolo and Kader, and their staff (Mohamed, Younes and Fatima) were very welcoming, hospitable, and helpful. Breakfast was served as early as 7 AM, when we requested it. The freshly squeezed orange juice, and the freshly brewed coffee, were both superb. We also had afternoon tea – on request -- by the wading pool in the lovely inner courtyard, and on the terrace. G. Paolo and Kader made the time to chat with us every day, and gave us lots of helpful advice on places to visit, restaurants, commuting within the city, and even where to get a haircut in Marrakech. They also helped with taxi bookings when we needed them. Mohamed organized for us at short notice to go on a day trip to the lovely historic city of Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, on the Supratours Confort Plus bus, and organized a taxi drop off and pick up at the bus station. We felt like we had become good friends by the time our stay came to an end. All in all, we had a most enjoyable stay at the Riad Maison Arabo-Andalouse. Merci beaucoup, G. Paolo, Kader, Mohamed, Fatima, and Younes!

A fabulous stay in Maison Arabo Andalouse. We had a 5 day stay in the Riad and we couldn’t have had a better time. Gpaolo and Mohamed are superb hosts and the staff are all so incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much and they will take time to really ensure your stay in Marrakesh is the best. When we arrived late on Sunday night someone was there to collect us from our airport transport and help us with our luggage back to the raid and then we had the MOST delicious dinner cooked for us before we went straight to bed. It was the first time my mum and myself had visited the city and we had a few ideas of what we wanted to do but gpaolo offered lots of guidance and particularly good restaurant recommendations. The raid itself is beautiful and all the rooms have their own charm. The breakfast is 10/10 with amazing juices, fruit, pastries and of course Moroccan tea! There is also the option to have eggs as well which we grateful took. We left to explore Marrakesh each morning feeling very full. The riad is really well situated to explore the city and once we knew what we were doing to explored almost all of it by foot. I have fallen deeply in love with this vibrant city full of colour and life & I definitely will be back. I can’t thank everyone at Maison Arabo Andalouse enough!

This is a fantastic and unique place to stay in Marrakech. The whole Riad has a great atmosphere and the attention to the guests is extraordinary. GPaolo and his team makes you feel very special since the first moment… they are all super kind and always alert to help with any thing / information you might need. Our room -I would say suite- was very nice and comfortable for the whole family (4 in total). The breakfasts in the terrace were excellent. We also had two memorable dinners. Overall, fantastic stay. Very recommended.
