Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast with pancakes, and some fruit. Overall a comfortable room with quality bedding and nice bathroom.

In January, it was a little bit chilly in the hall of the hotel where breakfast and other meals are served. If you are booking a standard room I'd recommend to ask for a quite room. We did not, and our was a little bit noisy as the kitchen was on the other side of the wall from our bed and the only window was looking in the main hall. Rooms on the 2nd flor seemed to be nicer, but were not available when we were booking. I recommend asking for those.

We loved the feeling of escaping from the streets at this Riad. A beautiful, quiet contrast to 'the outside world'. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The room was generously spacious especially as a family of five, we had plenty of room. We really enjoyed breakfast served to our balcony! The kids enjoyed the pool even though it wasn't very warm. Even just sitting beside the pool was very nice. We had a lovely time!

The pool was not heated. The king sized bed was very very -very- firm. One morning breakfast was served in the side room adjacent to the entrance, by the pool but not around the pool and that was a bit odd and uncomfortable. They covered/were covering the opening to the sky above the central courtyard with what looked like large sheets of dirty plastic used for construction. I guess that's done to keep it warmer during the cooler months. But it certainly wasn't attractive, if anything it distracted and took away from the ambience and atmosphere.

Loved how calming and beautiful it is - a lovely break from the madness outside! It almost felt like a spa with the scent they put in the air and the music they play. The staff were incredible too, so smiley and friendly - really felt they cared about making our stay comfortable. They even did little birthday poster and balloons in our room to celebrate my day! Would definitely recommend, great location to everything too.

If you need an early night, it was fairly noisy in the evening with music/voices (we were on the ground floor). Wouldn’t usually be a problem, just something to bear in mind if you have an early morning trip. The beds were also quite hard but got used to it. I’m vegan so there wasn’t much to eat at breakfast but I understand that’s out of the ordinary.

We were dropped off near the mosque, and one of the staff came and took us from the main road and walked us through alleyways to get to our riad. When you approach the door, like many of the things seen in Marrakesh, seem like Nothing, but when you get inside it’s absolutely magnificent ! The courtyard was somewhere where you could relax and take a swim. We had the large private suite and breakfast was served every morning on our terrace. The riad and rooms smelt wonderful. Staff member Hussayn gets a special shout-out who were lovely and kind to my young kids. We all had hammam massages done also at the hotel and honestly it was one of the best we’ve ever had ! Location of this place was also great

I would have expected a kettle and tea making facilities in the bedroom. Considering you are paying a premium. They also do not allow any outside food into the hotel, which was a bit of a nuisance as our children are fussy with food.

I have just come back from a lovely stay with my friends and I honestly do not know where to start. Everything was perfect! The Riad was beautiful, very clean and the staff honestly could not do enough for us. It was very local to the souks and you can easily access places. Mohammed the manager couldn’t do enough for us, he really looked after us so much. It was my friends birthday and he organised a few suprises for her. What I loved is that you feel like they care about you and will look after you like your family. Also the spa is the best!

I would say they need to improve the breakfast as it was very limited.

Our stay at Riad Dar Al Farah was truly unforgettable, and the team, especially Hussain, Mohammed, and their colleague (I forgot his name :( ), took great care of us. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with tea, helped us book taxis, and even surprised my sister with a beautifully decorated room for her birthday. They were always available to offer helpful advice, whether it was tips on bargaining in the souks or recommending experiences to try (and always answering us even late in the evening/night). The riad is beautiful and is super cozy & intimate Our room was spacious and clean, with a large bathroom. (I only took videos unfortunately so not many photos to share here). While some outside noise can be heard from the bedroom, the guests were quiet between 22:00 and 09:00. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a highlight—there are only a few tables, and we usually had the place to ourselves. The pool was a perfect place to relax, and although we didn’t have time to try the hammam or massages, we’re already looking forward to doing so on our next visit. The location is great, with several must-visit spots within walking distance. If you’re looking for a riad experience in Marrakesh, I highly recommend it!

- It is not really about disliking it but rather be prepared for it: the call to prayer in the morning was something we had to get used to. First night was rough because we arrived late and weee bot expecting it. However we highly respect their religious customs and just got used to it. Once we new, it was easier to adapt :). - The bed are also quite firm (not hard). It did not bother my family or myself but it is good to know.

Loved the full Moroccian experience of staying in a raid. The decor of the place was splendid. Loved the beautiful touches of every single place. I loved the aroma of fragrances is they used in the rooms and in the lobby. Very centrally located to Medina square and all attractions, restaurants and shopping. A lovely spa they offer Hamman and message. Fantastic experience. I highly recommend the spa. They do a great job giving the Moroccan hamman experience. It the best massage I ever had. The spa lady focuses on every knot and pain you may have and making feel so much better. The food in the restaurant is very good. Loved there chicken skews. Housenn the staff is a wonderful gentleman that works there. That helps you to your room with luggage and serves you food. The staff is super lovely and kind and amazing hospitality.

I would say that when using the keys to unlock and lock your room was challenging to unlock and lock the doors. But that is due too the old way of how the raids used to be back in the day.

The riad had a beautiful surrounding atmosphere and really great staff. The staff were the most friendly and helpful staff ever, they went above and beyond at every request, no matter the time. Everything about our suite was good. It was clean and roomy with excellent service in where we had breakfadt. Food was good and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was very comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future

As a group of 7 traveling with 3 children the breakfast wasn’t very filling. Options were limited and had to pay extra for things like eggs and milk.

Riad Dar Alfarah is a beautiful, quiet oasis right next to the medina. From the minute we arrived, all of the staff were extremely welcoming and gave us recommendations for what to see and do during our stay. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable and the food was excellent. It was also great having the pool and rooftop terrance to relax. Mohammed was very helpful in booking drivers for us to go to places further afield and also organised an excursion to the Agafay Desert (one of the highlights of our trip). Overall we absolutely loved our stay at Riad Dar Alfarah and would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Marrakech. Thank you so much to Mohammed and the team for your exceptional hospitality!

Pretty riad, close to the action. Very helpful staff particularly Hussain. Probably the best massage we had in Morocco. Organised an enjoyable private transfer to Essaioura.Enjoyed our stay even with limitations and would go back.

Difficult to find and taxis won't or can't take you to the door (but staff will come to drop off point and help with bags, but need to ring of course and explain where you are!). It was cold at night and no working heating in the room. No TV in room either which is a surprise these days. Quite limited breakfast.
