“LOCATION, ATMOSPHERIC CHARM AND DELIGHTFUL HOSTS”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

Second Xmas at Riad Argan for us....and we have promised not to wait a whole other year before returning!
If you are thinking about visiting Marrakech, this is the place to stay...steps away from the best lunch cafe, and minutes from the best roof top bar and the best Italian Moroccan restaurant of the city.

“What a Delightful Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

In Marrakesh on business and decided to skip the typical business hub hotels. Wanted to experience the atmosphere of this bustling city. Great decision. From the time we arrived to the moment we left Francoise and Bernard made us feel as if we were the only guests they were concerned about and did everything to make our stay a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!!!

“Outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

My friend and l stayed four nights at the Riad Argan. From the moment we were met by Francoise who was so helpful it made us feel completely at ease. We didn't realise how much we would enjoy our stay. Salah and Kadesha particularly were brilliant as were all the staff. Kadesha took us to a market to buy food for a meal that we would help to prepare and she showed us how make a beautiful meal. The rooms were calming, clean and tidy. Breakfast was good quality and generous continental style. Francoise helped us with our tour need and Yusef the driver was very helpful in our trip into the Atlas Mountains. The whole stay was made much greater by the staff being such good fun.
A stunning and lovely time - a giggle per minute all round.

“Birthday Treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

My daughters arranged this surprise trip to Marrakesh as a birthday gift and we had a wonderfull time. Riad Argan was just perfect, they could not have been more helpful and provided a wonderful oasis of calm from the madness that is Marrakesh. The riad is located right in the heart of the Medina and was the perfect location for exploring the souks and other places of interest.
Our hosts at Riad Argan arranged for us to be collected from the airport and also provided an excellent evening meal on our first night. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive and gave us helpful advice about how to navigate the labyrinth of alleys and narrow streets of the Medina. We had a crash course in local customs and etiquette (including bartering) which was invaluable.
My highlight of the trip was visiting the Hammam, arranged at a very good rate by Francois. After a busy day exploring the city, this was the perfect way to chill out, especially as the Hammam was almost next-door to the Riad!

“The Calm After the Storm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

Marrakesh is nuts. That's why we love it. But for some it can be too much. With Riad Argan we had a calm oasis, away from the wonderful madness of the souqs and the Djema El-Fna.
Instantly, upon stepping inside, you are greeted with genuine smiles and a willingness to help make your stay the best it can be.
Service above and beyond the call of duty, wherever needed.
Francoise, the charming owner, organised a cooking course with a third party for us at a drop's notice, leaving us with time to stroll the medina streets and soak up the sights.
Half way through our Marrakesh stay we disappeared to the desert for a few days. Unfortunately Riad Argan was fully booked for our return but Francoise arranged for our luggage to be delivered to our new Riad, and it was there in our room floor upon returning from the Sahara.
The little extra bits of service are endless. So helpful, but certainly not intrusive.
Francoise, thank you SO MUCH!
