    Pros +

    • The experience of staying in a riad. When you get to the medina hire a person to take you and your luggage to the hotel. The hotel can arrange it for you. You will NEVER find it otherwise. Hotel employee at the hotel was priceless. Helped us out a lot.
    • I think breakfast could be much better. I think the cleanliness in the bathroom would've been much better. The toilet seat was broken and the first day we showered there was water clogging
    • The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms wide and comfortable. The location is also very good

    Cons -

    • The hot water was not consistent and the water pressure was constantly changing.
    • Breakfast could have more variety of the productsIt’s not easy to get there but this is due to the location and it is the same for majority of riads.
    • I was a little nervous walking there at night.

    Perfect location, staff, breakfast, view from tarrase, clean and safety

    10KellyPosted on: 3-8-2024

    From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and welcoming, with a wonderful touch of a morrocan tea while you take in the beautiful riad.Would definitely recommend that you book ur transfer with the hotel from the airport as finding it on your own would be a challenge ?. Can't thank everyone there enough for making it a truly fantastic holiday amd feeling like part of a family.

    Great location in the centre of MedinaThe staff was there always to help Great rooftop

    Beautiful old Riad in the Medina, gorgeous tile and woodwork throughout!

    I was a little nervous walking there at night.

    10MelissaPosted on: 1-8-2024

    Good location, fantastic staff, beautiful Riad, tasty dinners and a great city guide referral. The Riad dar Zaya itself and its staff were a real highlife of our visit!

    The Medina is really hard to navigate without a guide.

    9SarahPosted on: 10-30-2023

    The location was great, right in the Medina. It is also just a beautiful building, very comfortable, with a gorgeous roof terrace. But mostly, everyone was so friendly and helpful, and the food was amazing!

    Not really a minus but I would recommend booking your airport transfer through the hotel as I can imagine it being very hard to find the first time!

    10YegorPosted on: 10-20-2023

    Wonderful cozy ambiance

    Triple room didn’t have a bed - a layaway bed was brought in which was not very comfortable

    9NicholasPosted on: 9-7-2023

    Beautiful, traditional riad right in the Medina, but very calm and quiet. Great base for exploring. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Would come back

    No onsite spa services as indicated in thr amenities list, but there are lots of places close by and the staff can help

    10RebeccaPosted on: 8-4-2023

    The place is so unique and so spectacular. I would love to stay there again if I were to return to Marrakech. The staff are all excellent, very welcoming, so genuine, and so helpful. I am so happy we stayed there; it's the true Morocco we traveled so far to experience. And right in the heart of the famous Souks markets

    Just like most other riads in old town Marrakech, the distance from the street to reach the actual Riad through multiple market tunnels on foot is a bit confusing, but the staff were very helpful and carried our bags and guided us through the rustic maze once we called them. I would not trade my experience for anything else.

    10ShelynaPosted on: 6-12-2023

    Great staff, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, something of a historical Riad. The rooftop is great, and the pool is so refreshing. Close to Medina.

    The hotel had arranged transportation, we could not have found it otherwise. Google maps does not work here.

    10SimonPosted on: 4-26-2023

    Beautiful hotel in fantastic location in the heart of the old town. Very hard to find - it's a must to get the hotel staff to meet you somewhere easy and walk you in. They are extremely helpful.

    Nothing to criticise with the hotel- all fantastic. However a general comment on Marrakech It's easy to get taken taken advantage of by locals offering assistance and asking for lots of money who see tourists as an ATM and the motor bikes that race through the Medina are very dangerous to all and should be be banned

    6IsabellePosted on: 4-11-2023

    -classic moroccan architecture -smiley staff trying to help

    -pompous “suite”: just a room with stained pillow cases and not so white towels -far from international hospitality standards -dirty upholstered chairs in room-run down place-staff good will ruined by a nonchalant attitude -water wasn’t refilled daily although no drinking water on the tap-recommended Marrakech by air excursion wasn’t up to standards +organiser/ pilot almost rude comments were borderline

    The hotel is amazing!!! It feels like you enter a palace inside it, and once you get a hang of getting to it (a bit more on that later) its like an adventure each time you reach it. Karim at the reception was so great with recommendations, and just anything we might have needed. The breakfast was great and so fresh, and they even helped my sister and I (vegan) find things to eat.The rooms were gorgeous, spacious, and the wifi was quite stable if a bit slow (only sometimes). The rooftop area was beautiful and a great spot to just hang out. When leaving the hotel you are smack in the middle of the market in old town, just a few minutes from the Koutoubia.

    Instructions for finding the hotel could have been clearer. Or at the very least a clear notice that the staff should be called before trying to reach it. Not only is it not really reachable by car or public transport but the streets to get to it are old town streets so there isn't really a map that will get you there. Nor are there visible street signs or numbers. We were driving and had communicated this to the hotel but even directions to parking were not clear (and parking was about a 10 min walk from the hotel -assuming you actually know the way). Once we were able to get a hold of the hotel staff they helped and we were able to find the parking and get to the hotel but this would have been better if we had instructions from the start.

    A M A Z I N G, the room, the windows with the warming sun coming in the room to light it up, its big, nice terrace and great location

    the breakfast could be better

    10RichPosted on: 12-27-2022

    Great location in the heart of the medina with a welcoming staff who prioritize your wellbeing over their direct profits.
