Pros:

Great hotel, excellent service, great location. Dinner was excellent.

Cons:

The design aesthetic of the annex is slightly different than the main building. Both are quite nice, but our preference is for the main buidling.

A forever memorable Moroccan stay. A beautiful sense of place, history and exceptional staff.
Pros:

Our stay at La Maison Arabe was an amazing part of our Moroccan holiday. We enjoyed choosing accommodation that contributed to the experience of the destination, and this stay had a distinctive character that made it memorable. It felt like a meaningful part of our travels rather than simply an overnight stop between activities, with the added surprise of a bottle of champagne and our very own rooftop lounge area and spa.

What I appreciated most was the friendly and very accommodating staff and the atmosphere and central location of the hotel. On a trip involving several destinations, it is wonderful when a hotel gives you a reason to pause and enjoy where you are whilst feeling like you are the only guests. We valued having time to settle into the surroundings and appreciate a different style of accommodation from the other places in our itinerary.

There is something especially appealing about a hotel with its own identity. Those are the places that tend to remain clear in your memory afterwards, because the accommodation and the destination become connected. We look back on this stay as a lovely part of our journey through Morocco.

I would recommend La Maison Arabe to travelers who appreciate character and atmosphere in their choice of hotel, a great option to consider when you want your accommodation to form part of the holiday experience itself. Our time there was memorable, and we were glad to have included it in our plans. It added another enjoyable element to a trip filled with varied destinations and experiences, and we remember the stay very positively.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful riad. I would absolutely stay again and recommend it as the perfect place for your stay
Pros:

Everything!
Decor- the photos are beautiful but still don’t capture how gorgeous the property is in person. Stunning tiles, rugs, art, lamps and lighting in every room and hallway.
Facilities- we had a balcony, bath, shower, twin sink, desk, and fridge just in the room. On site a Hammam spa where we had the most relaxing experience, a pool and area for loungers and tanning, a jazz bar, restaurants, a library, study area, multiple seating areas, and parlour for complimentary afternoon tea. Just round the corner is the cooking school, boutique shop, and rooftop bar and restaurant. The lane to get there is super safe and adorned with lights and greenery. We did get a little lost but the porters were more than happy to guide our way. There was even a complimentary shuttle to their country club with its own pool and gym.
Staff- the staff were so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We were given a tour when we arrived with our welcome drinks. Anything we asked they tried to accommodate. We had a tour booked where we needed to be up at 4am which was no issue as the front desk was manned 24/7. They send sweets to our room and gave us change when our notes were too big. They called us taxis for good prices and generally just made the trip so easy.
Location- the riad is located far enough from the medina that you can get a taxi to directly outside the cooking school door and then it’s a minute walk down the large well lit alley to the riad itself. There was always a security man at the front door you could see from the alley entrance and there’s no wandering down tiny lanes but it’s close enough (10-15 min walk) to the souks that we had no problem popping out for food or shopping.
Food- the breakfast buffet had it all from fresh fruit and chia puddings to an egg station and on demand made Moroccan pancakes.

Cons:

Nothing except that we didn’t book a longer stay to get better use of all the facilities.
