    The staff were super helpful and looked after our every need . The Riad was very traditional with many original features. The atmosphere was very calming . Very central. I met the owner who was really lovely. The staff when I asked said that he was a great boss to work for ... that means allot to me actually.

    Please be aware, that it is an authentic Riad and the walls are quite thin. Also the hot water supply is a litlle bit slower than in the chain hotels, we might be used to. Keeping it in mind, you will get a great experience!

    Very romantic place, beautiful inside garden with plenty of flowers. Easy to reach because correctly placed on google maps. The interior of the rooms will bring you into fairy tale of "1001 nights". The personal is very friendly and will do their best to make your stay comfortable. The riad is in the old town; thus, stepping out of it, you will dive into Medina directly.

    Nothing

    The Riad Armelle is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The decoration and ambience of our room was exceptional (very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom, spotlessly clean), and the inner courtyards and rooftop area were out of a storybook. The staff was outstanding and most helpful (arranged for laundry in same day at a bargain price, etc.). The we had dinner there also, and it was delicious -- and the dining atmosphere was delightful. It is a true oasis in a well-located and easy-to-find location. One of our very best experiences in Morocco -- highly recommended ((would give it 6 stars if rating scale allowed)!!

    Armelle was everything you could want. A welcoming oasis in a busy but not too touristy part of the medina. It's close to Bab Doukkala which makes getting a taxi or to the bus station very easy. They served a consistently good Moroccan breakfast (the omelette especially was outstanding). The staff are funny (esp Cici!), helpful, and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The riad itself is a stunningly beautiful property, and the rooms no less so. Spend your time on the rooftop for sunrise or sunset. 10/10 would stay again and again.

    The hotel is beautiful and is in a brilliant location - in the heart of Medina, walking distance to the markets and main square. The staff were very friendly and the activities and excursions they recommended we were very happy with - good experiences, fair prices. Overall we are very happy with our time at Riad Armelle and we stayed 7 days! Would happily recommend to others.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    Beautiful Riad, superb location, the staff were exceptionally efficient and friendly, nothing was any trouble. We had dinner at the Riad and it was superb, the ambience and decoration so peaceful and relaxing. They also arranged a great excursion to The Ourika Valley and arranged airport transfers with their "in house" driver...

    This is a beautiful Riad. Gorgeous traditional architecture and interior design, with numerous plants, small, free-flying birds, water feature in the square, adding a little bit of nature and plenty of tranquillity. Riad Armelle is relatively easy to find, entering through the Bab Doukkala gate, its just a couple of minutes walk to the Riad. In contrast to the busy streets of the Medina, the Riad is quiet and peaceful. It also has a lovely roof top terrace with plenty of comfy seats, great views, wonderful cactus plants. I did some work on my laptop up there enjoying the atmosphere and the muezzin singing the call to prayer. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They made me feel totally comfortable, safe and at home in the Riad. They gave great advice and directions for things to see, places to eat etc. My room was next to the terrace. It was luxuriously decorated, very comfy bed and I loved the shower set up. There was a good free wifi which I did use for work and held up well. Just a note - there was no TV. I preferred this, it helped me relax and enjoy the peaceful environment in the Riad. I'm just adding it here so visitors know this in advance. You do need to buy bottles of water to have in the room, but staff are happy to help with that. The breakfast is great and I had dinner at the restaurant one evening, it was delicious. Again important to note that in order to have dinner in the Riad you need to book it with the staff in the morning. Also you can book an airport pick up and drop off for an extra fee. The rest of the time I walked around Marrakech. I had to attend a conference outside the Medina, in a modern part of the city called Hivernage. It was very easy to walk, the pedestrian roads are big and clean. Walking in the Medina is nice as well, if you don't like crowds and/or are a solo traveller like I was, then walk the Medina in the morning. Definitely visit Le Jardin Secret! I loved my stay here and hope to return for another visit.

    Upon arrival, I coordinated several excursions in which a price was given for the tours. The staff insisted we pay at the end, and at check out, the price had increased without an explanation.

    The property location was 10 min drive from the square.
