Notre séjour au Riad Dar Zaouia a été tout simplement parfait. Le riad allie charme traditionnel et confort moderne : les chambres sont décorées avec goût, très propres et particulièrement reposantes, et les espaces communs (patio, terrasse) invitent à la détente après une journée de visite. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, d'une gentillesse et d'un professionnalisme remarquables. Ils ont été aux petits soins du début jusqu'à la fin et ont même organisé une belle surprise pour un anniversaire en nous proposant un gâteau délicieux et joliment décoré — un geste qui a rendu ce moment inoubliable. Le petit-déjeuner était généreux et la situation du riad, idéale pour explorer la médina. Je recommande vivement le Riad Dar Zaouia à quiconque cherche une adresse chaleureuse et soignée à Marrakech. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter !

We have travelled to more than 70 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels but, in all honesty, we have never seen a customer service like the one provided by the team of Riad Dar Zaouia! They made us feel at home from the first moment. The riad itself is like a safe and quiet oasis in the middle of the bustling medina. It is beautifully designed and the courtyard is trully an oasis of tranquility. The rooftop where you have breakfast and eventually dinner offers a great view to the city. The rooms are well-appointed and have all necessities (though admittedly not overly large). The riad team helped us with everything – taxis, laundry, tours – and were really willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommended!
Cons: Just a few small recommendations: - In one of the rooms the toilet door had a bit of an opening above it. It would be good to have that covered for additional privacy. - The door to the toilet is very authentic but not easy to open as it touches the floor. - The neighborhood is safe but not exactly polished to Western standards. If you want a more manicured environment go to the New Town of Marrakech. And that’s it! Do stay at the Riad Dar Zaouia if you want the authentic Moroccan experience

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful Riad . The staff organised complimentary collection and drop off from the airport .Situated about one km / 20 minute walk outside the main centre of Marrakesh it enabled us to walk through the narrow streets and souks and take in the many things to see - the old school & YSL and secret gardens . We felt safe but were greatly assisted by the phone the staff gave us with google maps on - couldn’t have done without it .We also had a great trip out to the Atlas Mountains ..As for the Riad. It was incredible. The staff especially Mustafa and Sofian couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our every need and question .. superb breakfast and a nice complimentary massage were all brilliant but our daily Berber lessons were the highlight and the anniversary chocolate cake summed up the superb service from these brilliant kind people . Tanmmirt to you all … Makain mouchkil ….ian and jen

Our stay was amazing, the team couldn’t have done more for us. From the moment we booked their communication was excellent, the driver was waiting for us at the airport on arrival. Breakfast was fantastic, a good selection with pastries, Yoghurt, fresh fruit, omelette, breads, and fresh orange juice. One amazing perk they offer at the Riad is they give you a local mobile phone so you can hotspot from it and have signal when you head out. It has the contact details for the team back at the Riad and they can help with any issues or questions you have. Such a fantastic touch. We had dinner at the Riad two of the nights, the food was excellent; and the staff engaging and it’s a perfect sanctuary to return to after the hustle and bustle of the medina. We also had a massage booked in as part of our stay, and the masseuse was excellent. The Riad is over 500 years old. And beautifully restored, it’s located in a residential area of the old town, and we felt safe walking around day or night. Thank you all for our wonderful stay. We will be coming back Ayesha and Dan!
Cons: Nothing to fault, our stay was excellent

En résumé, grâce à Sophian, Hamza, Moustafa et Laila ce fût une expérience unique. Une équipe sympathique, disponible et à l’ecoute et attentive à nos besoins qui est toujours là pour nous. On est accueilli comme un membre de la famille. Aucun stress. Le quartier est typique et on est immergé dans le quotidien des marocains. On y croise peu de touristes car un peu éloigné des zones touristiques. On y a de tout l’animation de l’animation de la grande place à 20 minutes de marche et le calme du quartier typique. En sus une piscine pour se détendre en fin de journée et déguster le thé que l’on gentiment nous apporté.

Struttura incantevole, arredata con molto gusto. Ottima accoglienza da parte di tutto lo staff. Soufiane, Mustafa, Hamza e le signore che si occupano della cucina hanno reso il nostro soggiorno speciale. Ogni nostra richiesta trovava accoglienza. Ottime sia la cena che la colazione. Letto grande e comodo. Ottimi anche il cellulare che ti danno in dotazione per contattare lo staff e per avere internet e il transfer da e per l'aeroporto inclusi nel prezzo. Soggiorno molto piacevole!
Cons: Nonostante il servizio impeccabile e l'ambiente curato, il prezzo resta un po' alto per la tipologia di struttura. La posizione è tranquilla e il quartiere è pittoresco con botteghe artigiane ma un po' lontana se si vogliono visitare a piedi le principali attrazioni (ca mezz'ora a piedi da Jemaa El Fna). Lo staff è comunque sempre disponibile a prenotare dei taxi.

Riad Dar Zaouia was by far the best experience I’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel completely at home. The riad itself is beautiful and full of charm, but what truly makes it special is the people. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about our experience. We even got to enjoy a fantastic cooking class — such a fun and unique highlight of our stay! I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a stay filled with true Moroccan hospitality, delicious food, and wonderful people, Riad Dar Zaouia is the place to be. Super friendly staff and simply unforgettable service!

The staff were very helpful throughout our seven night stay . The accommodation was very clean and all the meals were very good. The mobile phone provided was a great help finding our way around the old town . It also allowed us to use it as a hot spot and make use of our own UK phones for emails and WhatsApp. The property is situated about 20 minutes walk from all the museums and restaurants.
Cons: No local restaurants nearby but the Riad provides excellent food which we enjoyed!

You have to stay here. Authentic riad, peaceful area and exceptional staff This is a wonderful, tranquil riad in the Medina. Situated in a local area, quiet and peaceful. As two women we felt very safe walking around the medina and to/from the riad even at night. The staff are exceptional, from the warmest of welcomes, they couldn't have been any more attentive, friendly or helpful. The food is delicious, big breakfasts (we took the leftovers with us wrapped in tin foil!) , homemade tagine and Moroccan salad all served on the peaceful rooftop. They have a lovely small pool - so we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon floating and drinking complimentary mint tea, followed by a trip to an authentic hamman (Nilo) just 5-10mins walk. M Sad to be leaving, on our last day I had the free massage (included in the booking) which was wonderful. We also were given a mobile to use for free and free tea and water when requested. I couldn't recommend this more. I'll be back with my husband and son.

This Riad is lovely. We particularly appreciate it after later staying at another Riad in Marrakesh, also with good reviews, which was nowhere near as good. Soufian and Hamza were both very friendly and helpful. The Riad provided our transfer from the airport, water when requested, and a phone with hotspot to use during our stay, all free of charge. The breakfast, served on the roof terrace, was huge and delicious. Our queen room was a good size and comfortable. It is located a little way from the main sights - 20-30 minutes walk, but the neighbourhood is quiet, which was perfect for a good night’s sleep. I would recommend this Riad.

A Marrakech c’è un posto dove puoi dimenticare per qualche giorno quello che fai e da dove vieni, per immergerti in una cultura fatta di ospitalità, accoglienza, gentilezza. Tu sei il centro del mondo, e i tuoi ospiti fanno di tutto per fartici sentire. Il suo nome è Riad Dar Zaouia, una stupenda oasi di tranquillità e bellezza, costruita secondo le antiche tradizioni del luogo, portata avanti con grande passione da ragazzi eccezionali, come Mustafa e Soufiane. Io voglio ringraziarli, per avermi fatto passare una vacanza indimenticabile

Notre séjour au Riad Dar Zaouia a été des plus agréables. Un personnel au petit soin pour nous durant ces 6 jours. Un mot gentil, des attentions délicates (merci pour les pétales de roses 🌹 à notre arrivée), des aides précieuses pour qui n’est jamais venu à Marrakech (merci d’avoir pensé à l’impression pour notre embarquement), l’équipe fait son maximum pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable. Notre chambre était suffisamment grande, décorée dans le style marocain. Le Riad est très beau et le toit terrasse permet de prendre le petit-déjeuner et le dîner en extérieur. Nous avons dîner 3 soirs au Riad : Tajines et couscous royal : une cuisine familiale, goûteuse, comme à la maison. Nous nous sommes régalés et c’est appréciable de pouvoir dîner sur place après avoir marché toute la journée! Le Riad est dans un quartier populaire et calme. Les soirs où nous sommes rentrés tard nous ne nous sommes pas sentis en insécurité dans la médina, ni dans le quartier qui est à 1/2h de la Place Djamaâ el-Fna . Merci à tonton Aziz et à toute son équipe pour leur gentillesse, leur accueil, leurs sourires qui ont largement contribuer à ce que notre séjour se déroule au mieux pour cette découverte du Maroc et particulièrement de Marrakech. Nous rentrons avec plein de beaux souvenirs !

Al centro , son 30 minutos andando por las calles de la Medina.De noche no lo recomiendo. La habitación para 3, resultaba algo pequeña.

The staff at Riad Dar Zaouia were fantastic — genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One of them walked us to the restaurant we wanted to visit, and the next morning two staff members got up at 5 a.m., with one kindly accompanying me to the meeting point for the Hot Air Balloon Experience. When my daughter wasn’t feeling well, they generously extended our room until 3:30 p.m. at no charge and even went out to get medicine for her. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Their genuine kindness and warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome and very well cared for. This is one of the greatest charms of Morocco — its warm, kind, and hardworking people!

The hospitality was amazing. Clean room and the staff went over and beyond to accommodate you. It is a lovely, authentic place. The people are beyond friendly and helpful.
Cons: The distance from everything. I have hesitated to write this review because the facilities and customer service exceeded our expectations. However, the distance from the main sites is a HUGE drawback. Not one, not two, but three separate tour guides mentioned that the riad was far. Our private driver asked if we were sure we wanted to stay there. If you are okay with a long walk to and from all the sites, then this is the place for you. If you have young kids who won’t be able to handle the 20-25 minute walk to the main square, I would think twice before booking.

They went the extra mile to help. We loved the service. The staff allowed us to check in earlier and we really appreciate it as we were tired. The pick and drop off service added that extra sparkle to our amazing trip.
Cons: As others have mentioned, the location isn’t ideal. It is in the Medina but a bit further than some other options. We also experienced some uncomfortable moments with bees in the morning. Although we know it’s not the staff or hotel’s fault but not much was done. It was more than one of two bees around.

Première expérience réussie dans ce riad plein de charme. Accueil exceptionnel avec une équipe souriante, serviable et toujours à l’écoute. La décoration est authentique, notamment la salle de bain, et l’ensemble du cadre invite au repos. Malgré la chaleur, la climatisation et un ventilateur mis à disposition ont bien aidé. Seul bémol : la présence de nombreuses abeilles au petit déjeuner et un choix assez basique. Le riad est idéal en arrière-saison ou au printemps. Situé dans un quartier populaire mais sûr, à environ 30 minutes à pied de la place. Nous sommes rentrés tard dans la nuit sans aucun souci. Une adresse à recommander !

Gorgeous Riad nestled in an interesting part of the old town. This is a hidden gem and the team are outstanding in ensuring a great experience, from welcome to departure. In fact, we didn’t want to leave and added extra time to our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and there are some day beds around and sun loungers in the roof terrace to relax. The dining experience was great and the team were flexible as to when and where we could dine whether on the roof or in the courtyard. The pool is a nice touch too cool off in after a day of sightseeing. A huge thank you to all the team for a wonderful experience.

We ate there the first night after an early start travelling and the food was fantastic. The plunge pool and roof terrace were perfect after a long day sightseeing. Gorgeous breakfast and airport transfers included so brilliant value for money. The GPS phone you get saves personal data use and is essential in the souks! Highly recommend as long as you are happy with a decent walk to the main centre or they will get you a taxi. No alcohol available on site, but if you bring some, they are happy to provide glasses and ice!
Cons: Nothing not to love.

The Riad was absolutely lovely with 5 outstanding staff who just couldn't do enough for us. The bed was super comfortable and room thankfully air conditioned. Breakfast had fresh orange juice, yoghurt, crepes, bread etc. and an omelette if you wanted it. They supplied large bottles of cold water whenever we wanted and kept my husband supplied with cold milk for coffee in our room. Everyone went over and beyond in wanting us to have a good time. The use of the phone they supplied meant they were always on call if needed and the hotspot was wonderful when we were out and about. The complementary trip to and from the airport was seamless and very much appreciated by us. As you would expect there were quite steep steps in the Riad - not a problem for us (in our 70's) but wouldn't be ideal if you had mobility problems. Truly can't fault any of the Riad or its staff.
Cons: Possibly the location which is a walk or taxi ride from the centre but once we got our bearings we were happy to walk and explore the nearby souks etc

We left with tears in our eyes. Riad Dar Zaouia felt like home beyond comprehension. Exceptional facilities, phenomenal food and a great location make it an outstanding hotel, but what will embed it in our memories forever is the kindness of the staff. We have never encountered such an incredible team while staying at a hotel. Everything they do is from the heart and with a kind smile on their faces.
Cons: There are no complaints. Everything was perfect.

The stay at Riad Dar Zaouia was an absolutely amazing experience. The best part was the incredible friendly staff who were always on hand to help, answer questions and provide tips what to see in the city. Their hospitality was off the charts and made the stay a memorable and delightful experience. The Riad ouzes character of times bygone with its ornate woodwork and tiles. It‘s very pretty and was spotlessly clean and comfortable. It‘s easy to walk everywhere.

Oh my, where do we start! The staff are impeccable!!! We came back from a tour on the day of check-in. We were going to walk 25mins from our drop off location, but Soufian had called and arranged transport for us already (included in the price of the Riad). We were taken in the car straight to the Riad and we were greeted and checked in by the lovely Mustafa. All guests are given a cellphone that you can hotspot off of, google and text/whatsapp the staff anytime if you have issues. The room was so beautiful! The shower blew my mind. We hugely recommend having a tajine at the Riad, it was so delicious and the staff (Soufian and Mustafa) made the night trying to teach us Berber and Arabic. I could eat the tajine we had there every single day of my life. As well as the delicious breakfast! YUM! We had a late flight on check-out day and they didn’t have anyone checking in until midnight, so they allowed us to have the room until we had to leave (4:30pm) without any extra charge; as well as being picked up by transport to the airport again (included in the Riad price). They also went through so much of the history about the Riad… it was so fascinating! The Riad is slightly out from the main square (Jemaa El-Fnaa), maybe 15-20mins walk, but walking through the maze of little roads and past all the shops, is so much fun. Plus, it is very close to major tourist spots: - Le Jardin Secret Gardens - Madrasa Ben Youssef This is a very long review, but there is absolutely nothing to criticise, everything is amazing, beautiful, special, and even made friends with the staff.

The staff were absolutely amazing- could not be more helpful and nothing was ever a problem. They gave us a local smartphone so we could use maps to get around - and we definitely needed it! we could WhatsApp them with any questions while we were out. It was a godsend! The Riad itself was fabulous also. Beautiful architecture and so comfortable. Also loved the fact we got 30 min massages included and round-trip airport transfer in our rate.
Cons: It is about a 15 minute walk to medina. But we didn't really mind this, we got to experience all the nooks & crannies of the side alleys and streets that we wouldn't have if we'd been more central!

We liked everything, there is really nothing negative to remark! Which says a lot as I have stayed in many hotels over the years and there is always something to improve, not here. Most notable is the impeccable 24/7 service provided by the entire team. Many Kuddos to Soufiane, Hamza, Mohamed and Mr Aziz, apologies if we missed someone. Although not a staff member, we also want to highlight our recommended taxi driver Abdul. As other visitors have mentioned, getting a phone at arrival that serves as a hotspot (no roaming costs) and an easy way to contact the Riad is an extremely clever idea that is not standard for Riads in Marrakesh.
Cons: I can really not think of anything we didn't like

We really ‘fell on our feet’ when we booked Riad Dar Zaouia! It would normally have been beyond our budget but there happened to be a special offer on Booking.com for our dates. I’ll never forget the feeling of arriving hot and tired after many hours of travel, and being ushered into the cool and calm of the inner courtyard with its soft lighting and scent of orange blossom. Soufian brought us Moroccan tea which we drank at a mosaic-topped cafe table under the indoor tree, while he explained about the authenticity and care with which the historical Riad had been restored. Our room was beautiful, with high quality fixtures and fittings. There were other inviting areas for sitting and lounging. Breakfast and dinner were flavourful, well-presented, good value and served under cover on the tranquil roof terrace. The plunge pool was clean and refreshing, heated to a comfortable temperature, and attractive to look at. The location was within easy walking distance of the main square and the souks, but inside the Riad was a peaceful oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle. From the outset we were made to feel genuinely welcome in this little paradise, thanks to the friendliness and helpfulness of every member of staff we encountered. They all made us feel really cared for. We’re home in England now but won’t forget the Riad and sometimes wish we were back there being looked after again! We 100% recommend Riad Dar Zaouia and hope to be able to return in the future.
Cons: It would be nice to have the courtyard fountain running but I really can't think of any other improvements to suggest!

The food, prepared by Aziz, was absolutely amazing — fresh, full of flavor, and made with love. The riad itself is calm, authentic, and perfect to unwind. We felt truly cared for and would love to come back! ❤️

Words can't describe what a perfect little oasis Riad Dar Zaouia is within the myriad of narrow lanes inside the medina (old town). It is traditional, quirky, cool, comfortable and immaculately clean. The staff team provided a 5 * service. They couldn't do enough to help and provided exceptional knowledge and advice on exploring and experiencing Marrakesh and beyond. If you want a true experience of everyday life within the Medina this Riad is perfectly located. We walked everywhere in this fascinating city and always felt safe. Soufian provided us with a mobile phone which was genius. It contained contact numbers and places to visit and allowed us to connect our own phone using it as a mobile hotspot. Even more exceptional was his help in organising us a taxi from the train station to the airport 2 days after leaving the hotel. Highly recommend.

The riad is lovely, with well preserved decor and architecture that allows one to experience a lifestyle unchanged for decades. It is an oasis of calm, very quiet at night with no outside noises, comfortable beds, and high quality linens. There are extensive thoughtfully designed areas on all 3 levels for lounging in comfort and luxury. But what really sets this place apart is the unparalleled hospitality provided by its staff. They were endlessly patient and helpful with us, explaining how to use the android phone provided during our stay, booking reservations for tours, taxis, and restaurants, offering advice for how to navigate the Medina, offering refreshments each time we returned, carrying our luggage, and offering unlimited support in every possible way, all delivered with energy, enthusiasm, and good humour. They made it very easy for us to enjoy exploring Marrakech on foot without any anxiety about getting lost, no mean feat in such a warren of narrow streets. We walked most places and felt safe the entire time, both during the day and evening. Our enjoyment of Marrakech was ensured by their constant care for our happiness and comfort.

We liked the coziness and calmness. The lounge areas, rooftop area. The pool was heated and nice to relax. The property was always clean and smelled nice. The service was exceptional. Soufiane, Mustafa and Hamsa make a great team. The hospitality exceeded our expectations. It was extremely helpful that they provide the cell phone upon arrival, providing us direct communication with Soufiane and the hotel if needed. They also have a good connection if you need a taxi/travel anywhere safely. Breakfast and Dinner at the Riad is also very nice. I particularly enjoyed the fresh orange juice and the coffee every morning and the vegetable tagin.
Cons: There is opportunity to improve the water pressure in the shower.

We stayed at Riad Dar Zaouia for four nights in late February 2025 and had a fantastic experience. From the warm welcome with Moroccan tea by Soufiane, who helped us with everything from restaurant reservations to transport, to the incredible hospitality of Zakaria, every moment felt personal and cared for. Rabeah’s cooking was a highlight—especially the tagine and Harira soup. The riad is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a peaceful rooftop terrace perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. Its location is convenient, within walking distance to main sights, and the airport shuttle made arrival and departure smooth. All of the staff were kind, attentive, and made the experience feel truly special.
Cons: There may be small details that could be improved, as with any property, but nothing stood out or impacted our stay in any meaningful way.

Service was exceptional in this 5-room riad in an "authentic" area of the medina and it suited our group perfectly, though it is not for everyone. The main staff member was Soufaine who spoke good English and was always on hand to help which was excellent. The accommodation & public areas are characterful but compact so the pool is a plunge pool tucked away on the lower ground floor. Breakfast on the roof terrace was good and the area is a nice sun trap. A mobile phone is provided to help navigate the maze of lanes and a lifeline in case you get lost or need advice. But ...
Cons: ... the area is 30+ minutes walk from the Marrakesh sights (so take good walking shoes) and is very much a working residential area with open metalworking workshops and local culture all around the riad. It is safe and quiet but could be intimidating to many as it is the complete opposite of "touristy". It is very good value (though the bathrooms need a little TLC) and we loved it for our 3 nights as a base to explore the souks & sights and dining out at some excellent restaurants

Nothing was a problem from leaving us to certain points for our day trips to having access to a phone which the riad provided for us when we were out to giving us tips on what to do and what to avoid. The riad was so clean and beautiful loads of space to relax and the rooms were all very tastefully decorated.The food especially the breakfast with it's wide array of their local breads was outstanding. The evening meals were V good. Highly recommend this Riad it was like home from home.

From the moment I arrived at Diar Zaouia, I was warmly welcomed with tea and delicious biscuits by the incredibly kind manager, setting the tone for my stay. The attentive staff, including the sweet gentleman who handled my luggage and the amazing team responsible for preparing breakfast and lunch, made me feel right at home. The service is simply outstanding—everyone is so kind and ensures you feel comfortable immediately. The Riyadh itself is stunning, exuding traditional charm and elegance. It’s impeccably maintained, wonderfully peaceful, and provides a calm retreat from the bustling city. As for the food, it’s solid, authentic Moroccan cuisine—nothing extraordinary but definitely satisfying. However, I must give special praise to the biscuits, which were absolutely divine! I also treated myself to a massage, and it was fantastic. The therapist was incredibly sweet and skilled, making it a truly relaxing experience. The room I stayed in was nice and cozy, but there’s room for improvement. The water pressure in the shower was weak and occasionally fluctuated between hot and cold. Additionally, the wooden door leading to the hallway wasn’t soundproof, so noise from the common areas could be disruptive, especially in the mornings. If you’re a light sleeper, this might be a slight downside. That said, the value for money is excellent. They even provided a complimentary Mercedes van to pick me up and a car transfer to the airport, which was a lovely touch and included in the price. Overall, I’d rate Diar zaouia a solid 9/10. It’s a wonderful place to stay for a night or two, and the staff truly make it special. Thank you again to the amazing team—you deserve all the praise!

Big shout out to the staff! Very kind, very helpful, very responsive! They even arranged to send us the things we forgot in the room back to Belgium. Customer service 10/10. Very nice traditional riad. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable.
Cons: Arranged day trip: Overpriced for what you get. Everything is pre arranged and you do not have space to explore alternatives although you have a private driver and guide. We were also charged additional for another tour guide who took us just on a short walk. Dinning in the hotel is overpriced: You are charged double the price compared to tourist city restaurants which was a bit disappointing for us.

They couldn’t have treated us any better. They met our every need with sincerity and a smile. The breakfasts and meals were top notch and could be eaten on the cozy rooftop or in our room. Our driver could drive us right to the space, even though it is located in the center of the Medina. It was a privilege to stay here because of the space, but even more so due to the wonderful staff. This will definitely be our go-to place to stay in Marrakesh.

This beautiful, small Riad really sets the standard when it comes to hospitality and quality of accommodation. We’ve never experienced anything even close to what Riad Dar Zaouia has given us during our stay. It’s located in a genuine part of the Medina with small workshops and local atmosphere, rather free from the tourist crowd, still very convenient to get to all main attractions of Marrakech and pick-up points for excursions. Very clever to offer all guests a local mobile phone with all necessary info and contacts pre-programmed, really helps when you get lost in the souks (believe me, you will). Soufiane and the rest of the staff of the Riad is amazing. So much hospitality and helpfulness, from when we arrived until we left. Also, don’t miss out on the nice breakfast and excellent dinner served at the rooftop. Highly recommend this place and would not hesitate to come back one second!

Riad Dar Zaouia is a beautifully kept space, which gives guests a real feeling of old Morocco all with a modern update. The staff were friendly but also knew when to give guest’s their space, which was much appreciated. We also felt that they understood and easily accommodated those extra little things that can make or break a holiday. Very perceptive team. Breakfast on the roof was magical both in terms of the delicious food and the location.

Soufiane went above and beyond to help us and all the staff were amazing. He showed us where to go, helped us with our plans, and rescued us when we needed help. You will have the best service if you stay at this riad. I would also totally recommend the dinner here, it really felt like a home cooked Moroccan meal. We had an amazing time in Marrakesh, thanks to the fantastic hospitality at the Riad.
Cons: It’s in a less touristic part of Marrakesh, but we chose this Riad for this reason. It gave us the opportunity to really feel the city and walk amongst the locals to see their way of life. We felt safe at all times.

Such a wonderful Riad. The staff could not be more friendly. Soufianne especially was lovely and couldn't have done more to help. The Riad is an oasis of calm amongst the hustle and bustle of the Medina. Don't let the location put you off its tucked away down the back streets a bit but we walked everywhere at all times of night and day with the only hassle being kids telling you the alleys were closed (ignore them). We had a beautiful room and breakfasts were delicious. So much nicer than some huge impersonal hotel.
Cons: Nothing. It was all good.

This Riad exceeded all expectations! As a meticulously maintained 400+ year-old property, it offers an authentic and serene retreat. The level of communication and service provided by the staff is truly exceptional. Despite our flight being delayed, the team ensured our smooth arrival by coordinating with the shuttle driver, who tracked our flight and met us directly at the arrivals hall. Upon reaching the Riad, Soufian and his colleagues welcomed us warmly with traditional Moroccan tea and cookies. Our luggage was promptly brought to our room, and we were given a thorough tour of the Riad before being shown to our accommodation. The room itself was extraordinary, blending the authenticity of its historical roots with tasteful renovations. There are ample common areas on each floor, including a beautiful rooftop terrace that offers stunning views of the city. Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight, with a variety of fresh and delicious offerings. I cannot express how helpful the staff here is. Their hospitality is truly unmatched, as they consistently go above and beyond for their guests. Whether it was assisting with transportation or ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect, they exceeded all expectations. Additionally, the Riad provided a cell phone preloaded with useful apps, including WhatsApp, which featured emergency contacts and direct access to the Riad’s staff. This made it easy to request assistance or book transportation when needed. While we chose to walk everywhere, the Riad’s central location made navigating the city effortless. Overall, the experience was exceptional, and the service truly elevated our stay.

The Riad has been exquisitely renovated, with original features and a traditionally luxurious finish. The staff were exceptionally professional, friendly, knowledgeable and quickly dealt with any requests. One great positive is that guests are handed a mobile phone to use during their stay. An absolute godsend as The Medina is a maze of unmarked lanes making navigating a challenge so to have data / mapping throughout the stay was invaluable. And WhatsApp is set up to communicate with the staff both within and outside the riad.
Cons: We enjoyed the 30+ minute walk to / from the main square as the location enabled us to explore some genuinely authentic areas of the Medina, however as the area is difficult to navigate, i would recommend guests either arrange with staff to book taxis if they don’t want to get lost, as even with mapping on the phone, the labyrinth of narrow unmarked lanes is challenging and getting lost encourages local men along the route to offer to provide directions in exchange for a fee.

Free airport shuttle was easy to communicate with and locate. Staff was warm & welcoming upon arrival! My 3 yr old and I stayed for 2 nights and staff was amazing with him. Helped us both feel comfortable and relaxed to enjoy the pool, atrium, rooftop, and exploring around the area. They addressed every need with a smile! Their connection to my son made it hard to leave and level of service was unmatched during the rest of our stay in Morocco.
Cons: The first night, I was woken by a bug crawling on me and a strange smell wafted through our room the last night. Minor issues and I know staff would have taken care of them immediately if I told them.

Loved everything. Very beautiful and tranquil in the busy city. Staff were exceptional, but Soufian was absolutely fantastic. Couldn't do enough and showed my son how to make traditional tea, walked us to the main area and always on hand. Would always stay here in the future. Really loved having the phone with a local sim so could contact but also find out way around, and the added touch of having a list of places to visit in order was super helpful and made our day exploring even better. Got great tips about avoiding the "helpful" locals trying to redirect us...which came in handy a lot. Food was delicious. Really can't fault a thing.

I have rarely been so well looked after, advised, or served before. The location of the riad is very central, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained, reflecting the high standards of the establishment. You could feel the charm of Morocco in every detail, creating a truly immersive experience. Overall, my stay was delightful, and I highly recommend this riad to anyone looking for an outstanding accommodation experience in the heart of the city.

I think it was the most beautiful riad in marrakech. Everything was always clean and the breakfast was delicious. It’s also worth it to eat an evening there, because rabiaa is the best chef ever! My room was very nice and there are many beautiful places also to relax a bit. After a short walk you are in the center of the city. And now to the most important thing: the staff! They were all so friendly and my stay in the riad really felt like home. I’ve never been to a place before, where the staff really makes everything for you. They give you a phone with GPS what is very helpful and you could call them everytime, if you would have a problem or getting lost somewhere. They really go every single extra step for their guests. Thanks a lot to everyone! My biggest thanks are going to Soufian! He made my stay in marrakech perfect and was all the time there for me! I would recommend this riad to everyone, because it was just perfect and I hope that I can go back to this place one day.

All with no exception were extra kind and attentive, specially the manager Aziz and Soufiane who went above and beyond: talking with the taxi drivers to make sure we arrived at the Riad even going to pick up us up a few meters outside the Riad. And the cell phone they gave us was super helpful. Great time we had at Dar Zaouia!

We loved everything about the Riad which is beautiful. The staff are amazing and go the extra mile. Walking with us to where we were being picked up, making sure we didn't get lost, etc. We had a smartphone and only needed to call them if we needed help. We were confused by the MAD and accidentally spent £1400 on spices!! They called the Spice shop and spoke to the manager. Then went back to the shop with us to sort the situation out. Which resulted in getting most of our money back, Phew! We kept some spices and paid a reasonable amount for them. The Riad is in a local area of the Medina, but we knew this when we booked. Very interesting as you walked to the main square you could see craftsmen working on many things. As you continued towords the Souks, you could see the environment changing into a less chaotic one. The Riad was a peacful retreat but as soon as you stepped out the door it was like you had landed in a galaxy far, far away completey bonkers.

The Riad is a haven of tranquility behind a huge wooden door in a busy area of the Medina. We were treated like family and made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble - the hosts, Aziz, Soufiane and Omar were excellent. Food was lovely and we could eat when it suited us. The bed was super comfortable and the rooms were all individually decorated and furnished in traditional Moroccan style. It was a great experience.
Cons: Before booking I was told the room had a bath. In fact there was a bath (of sorts) - really a very large and deep stone shower 'tray" which was fine. I was looking forward to a long relaxing soak. Unfortunately there wasn't enough hot water to fill the bath which was a pity. I brought it to the attention of the hosts. Aziz said it wasn't a bath but there was a plug and low taps and spout in addition to the shower controls, suggesting a bath. Regrettably the water situation didn't improve and the hot water only lasted barely long enough for a quick shower; it ran luke warm after a few minutes. Although I was disappointed with the lack of continuous hot water, it didn't detract too much from my enjoyment of my stay.

We were offered a phone to take with us with hotspot and useful information and all the staff gave us a lot of tips for our stay in Marrakech. Aziz even organized a trip for us.

Cons: The location was slightly out of the main tourist hub on the north side of Medina, so around 15 to 20 mins to the main area. You need to wander through local communities to get to and from the hub. They do give you a phone though with Internet to get around which is very helpful.

I stayed with my brother's family, which included two small children. The staff was very friendly and helpful for the kids, and the pool was great for small children. The food was also excellent (we had several dinners and lunches there), and other services (such as laundry and arranging car services) were also very helpful. The staff goes out of their way to help their guests with whatever needs may arise. (The kids especially loved Sufian and Omar!)
Cons: Everything was wonderful for us. The location might seem a little far from the main square for some people (about a 30-minute walk), but, for us, it worked well. It's an interesting walk, but, also, it's easy to have a car arranged to pick you up or drop you off (it's a good location at the edge of the medina, so a car can take you directly to the riad door).

There was so much to eat, from a selection of fresh fruit and yoghurt, omelette, bread and homemade jams, cakes, coffee and tea and the most refreshing freshly squeezed orange juice! The offer of a smart phone with a local sim card is a 'master stroke'! It meant we were able to wander through the Medina and Souks to all the amazing places we wanted to visit in the knowledge we wouldn't get lost but if we did happen to lose our way, we were only a phone call away from Soufian's help.

As an artist I especially loved the location, it is just off the tourist track, where you see metal workers, artisans and everyone in between going about their business, such a feast for the senses!! Once inside it is a little piece of paradise so quiet and pristine, luxurious bedding, slept like a baby. I recommend eating at the Riad also as the food is top class, you can request to eat where you wish, inside outside on the terrace….Honestly could go on and on about the place and facilities. A great bonus was the free transfer from the train station and a free transfer to the airport on departure also being given a smart phone for the duration of your stay, with Google maps.

Out of all the Riads we stayed in, in Morocco, Dar Riad Zaouia was by far the best. The staff, Soufiane, and Aziz made us feel like queens. These guys were above and beyond accommodating, kind, and respectful. Aziz walked us to our first attraction so that we wouldn't get lost. It took like 20 minutes! They called taxis for us, they booked massages for us, they cooked dinner for us. When we checked in, they gave us a separate phone that had a map of the medina, phone numbers of the hotel, and the personal numbers of Soufiane and Aziz so that if we got lost, they would personally come and get us. How can you beat that kind of service? The Riad was very beautiful, clean, and peaceful. Dar Zaouia also only has 5 rooms, so it was quiet and the service was extremely personal. I highly, highly recommend staying here.
Cons: There was nothing we did not like.

The Riad is new, just renovated,it has all comforts with many areas dedicated to relax and a few rooms. It feels like being at home, but pampered and served throughout. Thank you Sofia, Sana, Omar who gave me a flawless room and Rabìa an exceptional chef and obviously Aziz, the director, which makes everything go smoothly without Troubles. Really a magical experience. Too bad that I was only a day. I will definitely come back and I will stay at least a week...

Very nice and recently renovated riad. Very nice room with comfortabel beds. Nice little pool in the ground floor with warm water (around 29 degC). The dinner and breakfast were very nice and served on the roof terasse. Very, very friendly staff. Nearby car park is available. Great communication with the manager to get to the parking and pick up from the parking was arranged.
Cons: Perhaps the location. The riad is some 30 minutes walking from the centre of town (the ‘big square’). But because of the location, it is also very quiet.
