We have spent an amazing 3 nights in Riad Armelle. The Riad is located in a side alley, a 3 minute walk from one of the Medina gates along a market street. Staff met us from the taxi and walked us to our accommodation (Jet2 transfer, so not sure if applies to all transfers) The Riad location is around a 15-20 minute stroll from the main Medina market square along a well lit road. During our stay we always felt safe and everyone we met were very friendly. The Riad has 15 rooms wonderfully decorated in a traditional Moroccan style. There are plenty of places to sit in the central courtyard area and also a roof terrace to relax sun bathing or in the many shaded seating areas. The Riad was spotlessly clean There were toiletries and a hair dryer supplied in the room and there was a curtain that could be drawn across the shower area for privacy . The large bed was super comfy and the room was cleaned daily. We stayed half board, good breakfast of breads, croissants, ham , cheese etc .Excellent Evening 3 course set meal ( let them know any dietary requirements in advance) , beer and wine were available (around £4.00 & £20.00 bottle respectively) All staff were excellent and very helpful especially Ziad. We would definitely recommend staying in this fabulous traditional Riad.

“Lovely courtyard and kind, friendly staff”

The courtyard is stunning, the room decor is intricate and colorful, every corner or detail you see, you'll find something beautiful to stare at for a few minutes! Staff was helpful, very warm and friendly. A lovely breakfast spread in the morning.

We received a warm welcome to this lovely Riad, which is an unexpected oasis of beauty and calm from the dusty, bustling alleyways of the market. We had had a long journey, with flight delays, and it would have been nice to have been offered an evening meal, or a drink at least, but this was not forthcoming. We were though directed to a perfectly nice hotel just a few dozen yards away from our Riad, where we had an acceptable meal (a bit chilly on the terrace, which was the only available table). Our room was beautifully decorated, in traditional style and very clean. The terrace was a nice space to relax at the end of our sightseeing day, although workmen took up several hours on the terrace one day. Unavoidable, I suppose. Staff were friendly and helpful, though not always present. All in all, Riad Armelle is to be recommended.

“Well placed, authentic Riad who could up their game a bit.”

We stayed a week in the Riad Armelle, an authentic quaint Riad. It is well placed for exploring the old town. The decor is amazing and the room immaculately clean. It is a very calm place within the bustle of the city. One or 2 things could have been improved to make it 5* review.
