Riad Armelle

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.

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.

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.

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...
