Just what the doctor ordered
Pros: Breakfasts were good, the eggs and tomato tagine was lovely. The Riad is in a very quiet area, away from the crowds. Charles is the perfect host and his team can’t do enough for you. Jeli was a star.

A great find and I’m so glad we did, don’t hesitate, just book it!
Pros: We booked this last minute and went from the reviews and the fact everyone mentioned Charles! True to the reviews we were not disappointed, Charles was a fantastic host, nothing was too much trouble, the facilities where authentic and rich with culture, the property was located so close to everything but so far away from the hustle! A special mention for Jerry, such a cool guy and really helpful!! The BONUS detail not a lot of people mention where the two small dogs Sam and Lucy, a true family run business and a pleasure to be hosted there. Well don’t to the entire team for making our stay so enriched!
Cons: Totally my fault for booking so late but I would have loved a bigger room with a bigger bed!

Pros: Can't recommend the Riad El Arsat highly enough. It's a beautiful oasis of calm right in the Medina. Charles and his team couldn't have been more helpful and make you feel instantly at home. The rooms are just gorgeous, and along with the wonderful garden and pool, it's the perfect place to retreat to after wandering through the Medina.

Beautiful well-placed riad
Pros: Fabulous riad with a beautiful garden. The staff are attentive and kind, the decor is lovely and carefully done, and it is very quiet yet right in the heart of the medina about halfway to everything.
Cons: Nothing negative to say at all.

Some try few succeed, this place is a sanctuary.
Pros: Our appearance in Marrakech was met by a storm, mix Marrakech with any storm a combination I wouldn’t wish again. Out of the darkness shone a light a bright and fierce light, a Riad the likes of which dreams await Mr Charles or Charles Arbousset to the unfamiliar awaited with a crew whose existence is the embodiment of service which is rarely achieved. Salma & Abdeljalil lieutenants of our host complimented the establishment beyond measure. Their commitment to their craft is palpable and it’s to be nurtured. The place is an oasis to be savoured before such a place is no longer exists. Spend time there, experience what this place is was is going on to be. Pass by this place and your loss is another’s gift. We consider these friends in an outpost far from home a home from home what more is there?
