“Welcoming, central and friendly hosts...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

We stayed at this Riad and found on arrival and throughout our stay, the hosts/owners, Massimo & Giorgina very friendly and helpful. On arrival we were given a map, shown where the local sites were and offered the owners, local views on where to visit, dependent on what we wanted to see & do, considering time available during our stay in Marrakech. The room was clean, tidy, tap water was drinkable. Riad 10 mins walk from the centre. Safe to be out at night, and walk back. All the staff happy to help, great freshly cooked breakfast, local fruit, tasty yogurt. We recommend the local Spa which the owners know. We ate at the Raid one night and the food was delicious, traditional tangine. We would definitely return again for longer. We booked the room, last minute through Escapio. There was good wi-fi, a roof top terrace to relax and eat breakfast from on later morning meals. Architecture, design and decoration of the Riad was stunning. Highly recommend this Riad. Thanks for a great stay.

Room Tip: Citrine Room, clean.

“Fantastic Riad in the heart of Marrakech”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

We stayed here, like others on the strength of previous reviews and every positive comment made is absolutely spot on. We could not imagine a more wonderful welcome and a stay with such lovely people. Giorgina and Massimo go out of their way to make you feel at home and have built a super team of staff who are just as friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable and full of fun and we are looking forward to coming back. We especially want to thank everyone who took extra care to make wheat free vegetarian food, and that lovely chocolate birthday cake, so thoughtful and so very much appreciated. The location is amazing, the lovely rooftop terrace is a lovely peaceful escape and the whole experience was great. Loved Marrakech

“Wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

We spent 4 nights at the Riad le Clos des Arts in February. We had booked on the strength of previous reviews and were certainly not disappointed. The Riad is beautiful, a real oasis of calm - in a peaceful location yet only a few minutes walk from Jemaa El Fna and the souks. The food is delicious. Our room (Amethyst) was lovely and a very comfortable bed. But above all, what makes this such a special place is the people - Massimo and Giorgina and their staff could not have been more helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. We would certainly recommend The Riad le Clos des Arts to anyone visiting Marrakech and we hope to return one day.

“Fantastic Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

We stayed at Riad le Clos des Arts for 2 nights in March after our Desert Trip and it was a welcome oasis of calm. The location is great, the service is excellent and the quality of the decor was fantastic. The style and finish of the Riad was really exceptional.

Massimo, Georgina and their staff were very helpful. Nothing was too much to ask be it booking taxis, storing luggage or plying you with biscuits!

I would highly recommend staying here and it truly justifies its high ranking on Trip Advisor. Very good breakfast too!

As with most Riads in Marrakech you will need a guide to get you from the Taxi drop off to the door - the Riad has their own cart that they use to transport your bags so use one of these guys. The Riad also pays them some money to help out so make sure you give them no more than 20 Dirhams as they will no doubt try and as for a lot more!

“Awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

Our brief stay of three nights at the Riad was outstanding. Super location, excellent rooms and decor, and first rate service. Massimo and Giorgina, as well as the all of the staff at the Riad, are as helpful and accommodating as can be. We were there with a party of six, and every aspect of our visit was flawless and excellent. We will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Marrakech.
