Always a fantastic stay at Le Farnatchi. All of the staff are wonderful and so helpful, the rooms are absolutely beautiful and

Beautiful property , well situated , amazing and friendly staff and service

A treasure of a riad. Suites were appointed beyond expectations. Staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. Breakfasts were amazing, and afternoon tea and treats lovely.

A very special riad. The hospitality is luxe. Their mint tea and pastries served complimentary is the best quality. Right in the midst of the best galleries and shopping in the Medina so everything is walkable in the shade. It's also in a safe area we felt. A lot of locals who all knew each other. A truly authentic experience that was not touristy in the packaged sense. The owner is an English gentleman in the truest sense who has lived in Marrakech for more than a decade. So there is also a western sensibility to the paired back restrained elegance which we loved. Everyone there were really attentive to us as a family enjoying our first experience of Marrakech. I found their local knowledge very helpful. Also they are expanding into another building opposite with a rooftop pool. All I can say is discover this gem before it gets too expensive. We left after 1 night and wish we could have stayed more. As a contrast, we transferred to another pre booked Riad La Maison Arabe and we found the riad although lovely to look at, was not as authentic or luxe nor the hospitality as genuine.

Beautiful Riad 5 minutes walking to the souks and Ben Youssef medersa. The service is impeccable and the room is spacious, well decorated and comfortable. Thank you again for the upgrade and wonderful stay!

Nothing

The hotel itself is beautiful and clean with great staff. I wish if the hotel was in a different location. It is in old madina, in a part where you have to walk by an unsafe area (especially at night) before reaching the hotel. Google maps showed us that we will arrive by car to the hotel front door, but obviously Google maps is not updates and we had to use Waze. There is a weird tight garage that was suspicious and those who work there have an attitude. They were very rude. We went to check the hotel and left our luggage at car, but decided not to stay. It was unsafe to walk with so many luggages even with the help of the hotel. We didn’t feel safe, so we had to leave and book another hotel for the same amount of nights at this hotel. We came back during the day to stay at this hotel but with a carry on bags for 1-2 nights. The staff did their best to convince us that it’s safe but I couldn’t ignore my gut.
