Great location, quiet and clean.. right in the middle of the Medina. Best part was the staff. Abdul was great and made us feel safe and welcome and also helped us with all trips planning and provided recommendations on do’s and don’ts

Abdul was an amazing staff member, really helped us out when we got to the riad, as well assisted us when we mentioned needing a driver for the next day to take us to the train station. The riad was really nice, very lovely presentation and atmosphere and definitely recommend to others

The property was easy to find, extremely clean, and matched the description and photos. The bathroom was great and the bed/bedding was super comfortable and the AC worked great! Our host, Abdul, was fantastic. He made us feel extremely safe and comfortable and even made us an early breakfast for our early checkout. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

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.

Grundsätzlich ein hübsches Gebäune in zentraler Lage. Doch leider nur Probleme. Das Hotel hat es nicht geschafft die zusätzliche gebuchte dritte Übernachtung zu den beiden anderen hinzuzufügen obwohl bei der Buchung noch mehrere Zimmer frei waren. Man dachte wir würden nur eine Nacht bleiben und wir mussten nach einem Tag umziehen. Man konnte uns außerdem nicht den Unterschied von Standard und Superior erklären. Wir haben für alle 3 Nächte Superior bezahlt. Die Zimmer waren aber nicht anders. Außerdem hat man uns die Citytax zwei mal berechnet. Die inkompetente Dame die uns geöffnet hat, hat uns trotz vorheriger Absprache der Uhrzeit nach einer langen Tour noch 45 Minuten auf das Zimmer warten lassen. Sie hat und dabei schon die Citytax abkassiert und hinterher behauptet sie hätte es nicht. Wir zahlten dann doppelt weil wir nicht mehr diskutieren wollten. Die wiederholten Schwierigkeiten hatten uns lange genug von unseren Vorhaben in Marrakech abgehalten. Sehr unangenehm. Schlafen war auch kaum möglich. Das Personal hört bis Mitternacht laut Musik.

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.

I stayed at Riad Zarka overnight before a tour and the staff were amazing. Ayoub greeted me on arrival and was very accommodating with my entire stay. He made sure I was able to have breakfast before I needed to leave. He also ensured I felt safe and comfortable in the area and that I knew exactly where to go to meet my tour in the morning. I was able to request in advance to be picked up from the airport and brought to the Riad by a private driver. The Riad itself is down a few non- drivable streets but I had no issue finding it, and you can also have someone help walk you there if you need help with directions or your bags. My room was lovely and clean as was the rest of the main areas. Thank you for the great experience!

Riad was in a great location, Mohammad and the staff were so amazing and helpful. The only thing I have to complain about is that the AC was dripping lots of water, which we had to use a bucket and the main big lamp wasn't working. Beside that, we were very happy.

Wonderful staff. They were very accommodating. Set up breakfast early for us. Had the best beef tagine there. And even had our boarding pass les printed. Beautiful quiet place. Don’t forget to go up to the roof. If we had more time we would have spent the day and night there

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.

What a beautiful place to stay!! Right near the bustle of the Medina and pure Moroccan beauty!! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were delicious!! It could be tricky to locate but Google maps and our phones made it easy!! We felt safe walking around the area and at night it was very quiet. If you’re looking for a modern hotel this is not for you. If you are looking for a place with more of a Moroccan flavour you will enjoy this!!

Riad famigliare vicino ai Souk, la struttura è molto bella, la camera con un po’ di restauro sarebbe stata perfetta. La colazione fatta da loro ogni mattina ottima ! I padroni gentili e disponibili. Abbiamo usufruito anche del trasporto per l’aeroporto e il Driver Haziz è stato simpatico e gentile. Nel complesso un buon soggiorno !

Riad Zarka è un posto veramente piacevole, pulito e confortevole. Si trova a pochi minuti a piedi da Jemaa el Fna, e nel bel mezzo della medina di Marrakesh. La camera non è molto grande, ma rispecchia in pieno l'essenza del soggiorno in un riad tradizionale marocchino. Simo è un gestore gentile e preciso nell'esaudire le richieste (noi abbiamo chiesto colazione fuori orario per escursioni varie). Consigliatissimo!

I just arrived and my room is okay but the stress is sitting on a piece of plywood - the bathroom is a wreck - chipped and peeling paint on the bathtub and sink, a very old shower, and signs of mold in some areas - I’m forced to stay as I paid in advance but I advise you to avoid this Riad. I’m told there is no ther room available. So I’m stuck with it. In addition I wrote twice before arriving ! once by text and once by the app. I’ve recieved no reply

Prijs-kwaliteit een uitstekende plek om Marrakech te ontdekken. Aangename rooftop, propere kamers zonder grote luxe maar perfect voor een kort verblijf om te stad te ontdekken. Ideale locatie en zeer vriendelijke service! Zeker een aanrader.

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.

The moment I stepped into the Riad, Simo greeted me kindly and welcomed me in with some Moroccan tea. My room was really nice and clean and enjoyed my stay. I would like to extend my gratitude to Douaa who prepared meals for me for breakfast and dinner which was tasty. I would totally recommend this place ymif you want to live in a Riad deep in the Medina. I hope to see you guys again during my stay in Marrakech

A few minutes walk from main Square. But in quiet alley. Room was spacious w all the amenities. The night manager walked me to the square to catch my airport transportation which was a big help as it was @ 4 am. Definitely recommend if one wants a quiet but accessible location.

Lovely riad as perfect location in the Medina. You can't get a taxi there have to walk 5-10 mins through Medina. Clean and staff were amazing. Only thing I've left a star off is practically no WiFi and also bed was like concrete and pillows like boulders.. maybe because I was in the basic room. Definitely recommend with these two things in mind. Staff went above and beyond to help me out as a solo traveller. Many thanks

Breakfast excellent Top roof great view Simo was great the entire time we were there, he helped us get taxis, helped us get our bags and show us the way to the Riad upon arrival. The room we reserved was great It’s usually possible to get to the café de France until mid day so if you’re looking for excursion pick ups, it’s roughly a six minute walk away. However, after mid day, they block the access to the Square so you need to walk a little bit further. A few good restaurants in the Square otherwise you can venture out a little bit further and find a whole slew of restaurants. As mentioned perfectly located as it’s right on the edge of the Medina, so it’s easy to access to Medina, and easy to exit if you wish to do so. Simo was great with us the entire time we were there, often taking the time to chat with us and give us some recommendations. We highly recommend Riad for the reasons mentioned above.

A beautiful traditional Riad in the heart of the souk. The decor was artistic and our room comfortable. The staff, Abdhul and Oussama gave us just the right amount of attention and help. The best lemon chicken tagine we've tasted. All the food was delicious and well presented. Thankyou.
