Riad Al Faras was a perfect place for us to soak up real morocco for 2 nights and enjoy the peace and quiet after the hectic crazyness of Jaama main square! Yousef greeted us on the main square from the arranged taxi transfer (highly reccommended), it was a very crazy 5 minute walk from the main square to the Riad... More

After booking 3 nights at Riad al Faras through hostelworld, we were immediately contacted by Anne marie via email, she was really helpful and even helped us book an overnight trip to Zagora, finding us a cheaper option when the private tour was beyond our budget. Definitely get an airport transfer or arrange to meet Youssef by the square as... More

We spent a wonderful time in here, amazing entrée to Morocco for us. Staff was friendly and helpful. It's in great location, just a short walk from Jaama and not that hard to find after one or two trips. The offer of pickup from airport was really appreciated by us. Even though it's bit more than the price you should... More

We were looking for a simple comfortable place to stay for our first few days in Morocco before setting off on a three week vacation in Morocco. We selected Riad Al Faras because it had air conditioning and a pool and the forecast was for extremely hot weather in Marrakech. We weren't all that interested in luxury or a full... More

This riad is lovely in that it is charming and authentic! It is also very clean and has a lovely atmosphere. The breakfasts were also really good and the location was perfect...right in the medina and close to everything. What made it special was Youssef...kind, relaxed and pleasant host, and always wanting to help. In addition, there is also a... More
