Riad Dar Housnia

Amazing Hotel Employee. Our stay in Marrakech would not have been the same had we stayed anywhere else. Perfect location, but the hotel employee itself and the staff are what make it so special.

Loved the property staff were super helpful, pleasant.and accommodating. Zenab is a great cook the food was really good and great value. The whole property,particularly the roof top are beautifully furnished. The pool area although small was relaxing.great to have a good hairdryer in the bathroom too

Would have like the pool heated, as it was a little cold. Would have liked better quality products in the bathroom e.g hair conditioner not just shampoo and cotton wool pads

the spacepeacefulnessthe kindness of the staff teamthe food

nothing worth noting. maybe felt a little cold at night

Beautiful riad just like in the photos. Amazing staff who were always available but respected our privacy. Calm oasis in the midst of the chaos of the medina!

A bit noisy from the sounds of the medina at night but we soon got used to that and just slept in on the amazingly comfortable bed!

A small bespoke Guest house of 4 bedrooms. Nice people, clean and tidy and the room was excellent ! We had an amazing sauna, massage and scrub. Dinner and breakfasts were good and private.

Rather difficult locality to get to !

The staff were very friendly, breakfast was excellent, very clean and tidy

Not a lot really

What an oasis of calm. Walking in through the door you would never know you were just metres away from the noisy motorbikes belching smoke and the hum and buzz of traders in the medina.The detail, the quality of the furnishings and the understated elegance of the decor was outstanding. And the peace was wonderful. A fabulous dipping pool that was not heated at the time we stayed and a wonderful terrace for breakfast and aperitfis. We had dinner one night. Too much food for three people, but excellent quality and a fabulous range of Moroccan cooking - topped off by one of the best Tiramisu's this side of Italy!

There is a mix-up between the drivers and luggage carriers regarding who is responsible for paying—this needs sorting out.

Everything. A superb location, exceptionally comfortable and staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay.

Nothing. But people with limited mobility might have trouble with the steps.

Beautiful rooms and food. Staff very attentive.

We stayed in the Douiria - it was a beautiful set of two bedrooms, sitting room area and roof top terrace, with access to the shared pool. Staff very friendly and always helpful (lots of mint tea and helped with local advice and restaurant reservations)

Price of a bottle of water. 60 dirhams (~ 6 euros) on end of stay bill (when a bottle costs 6 dirhams a few minutes walk from riad and the information pack in the room stated 25 dirhams) seemed a bit much.

Breakfast was very generous, and the location was great.

The wait time for service was very long at times and our bath didn't fill up which was disappointing.

Everything. We were given the warmest of welcomes and looked after throughout our stay. The staff were amazing especially Abdu who was always happy to help us with anything or give any advice on where to visit, or to arrange transport for us etc. We were given the most wonderful home cooked food on the first night, which my children enjoyed so much, we asked for it again before we left and the staff were more than happy to cater to our requests. The location was just perfect, a short walk and you were right in the middle of all the madness of the medina, but the riad was so peaceful, a lovely little oasis. We felt very safe walking to and from the riad. Our apartment was just beautiful with everything we needed, my children especially loved the roof terrace and pool. I must mention breakfast too….one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had and so much of it, all bought up to our roof terrace for us to enjoy in the morning sun. Thank you all again for a wonderful time and we hope to visit again.

Nothing!

Not the best area in the medina

I booked this for my birthday weekend in marrakech and after visiting just two years ago I was very excited, unfortunately I think the facilities had been a bit misleading and so I wasn't satisfied upon arrival. A few notes as to why below1. We had the room with the stone tub, we booked this room specifically to use the beautiful tub but when we arrived there was no hot water, we asked for it to be fixed but it just became slightly warmer and not suitable for using a bath.2. The door that lead directly onto the patio had about a 3 inch gap so there is no real privacy/noise from inside and outside is heard both ways.3. The toilet in the room doesn't have a door, it is covered with a curtain, so for those who are perhaps a bit shy doing a number 2 this isn't ideal with your partner sat in the bedroom.4. Except for tea/coffee you can't actually order any snacks or something from a small menu - I think a small snack/drink menu would be good just because the riad is not that close to anything like a shop and the walk to other establishments isn't that close by.5. The location of the riad itself is quite a distance from anything/a main road to grab taxi. We had plans to be out in the evenings and noticed there isn't much lighting and also unlike on the other side of the medina (near the koutobia mosque) where there are many roads and hotels and plenty of lights in the alleyways, this side doesn't have as much, so if you are a bit less adventurous those won't be suitable for you as it's a little scary.I have no qualms about the staff as they had been kind and lovely, just a bit misleading as a 4 star riad I expected more of a hotel feel and yet it was more like a serviced airbnb... there are people to help a bit but not hotel standards.

A beautiful property which exceeded our expectations. Loved the two separate bedrooms each with ensuite, the lovely family room, the terrace and the shared pool area. Staff were so welcoming and friendly.

Nothing - it was all amazing!

The staff was super nice and was always there to help. Abdul who I assume was the manager always made sure we had everything we need. The service surpased our expectations.

The riad was beautiful and extremely peaceful. The staff were very welcoming and attentive providing 5 star service. The location is ideal, in close proximity to attractions, restaurants and souks. We felt very safe walking the area at night. We will definitely be back!

Located in a quieter less touristy area of the Medina, although still near the hustle and bustle…in the old town you are never far from the busyness of the City! Porters were arranged to take luggage to and from the nearby small square to the Riad ( a short walk through a busy covered souk/alley used mainly by locals for food/provision) and this was efficiently done. We had a private transfer to/from the airport that the Riad arranged which was timely and efficient, the drivers were always prompt and courteous and escorted us to the Riad. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and delicious, especially nice on the rooftop terrace. We had two dinners at the Riad, lovely home cooked food, plentiful, and the staff were happy to take requests for certain dishes which were always fresh and well presented.Staff were always on hand for questions, concerns and requests and were polite and helpful. Room was beautiful, lovely traditional style decor and features, bed was comfortable, room always clean.

Sometimes, later in the evening, the comings and goings of staff and guests could be a little noisy - our room was located near the entrance/kitchen, but this is an old building with a courtyard so it’s to be expected that noise would travel. But this is a minor point and did not spoil our stay.

The Riad was amazing from start to finish. The personal touches were wonderful, the food was delicious, the staff were amazingly attentive and super helpful. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The wifi was strong enough to facetime home. They helped to accommodate any wish or request we had. We got to experience the beautiful private hammam they have and got massages which were great value. Overall a very relaxing and beautiful vacation!

Be aware that you can't arrive directly by car, you will be dropped off and taken by foot and luggage cart through the medina. This was a surprise and if i had been a solo female traveler would have been very intimidating as no one had mentioned this should be expected. Ultimately it was totally safe and normal but having not known this it was nerve wracking.

It was hard choosing a Riad in Marrakech. There are so many beautiful ones to choose from, but we really lucked out with Dar Housnia! The rooms, living spaces and pool were so much more than the photos could show. The staff was always around the corner for questions or requests. The location made it so easy to step out for shopping in the maze of markets or to find a restaurant without getting a taxi. We were greeted at the airport and driven into the city where we walked the last 100 paces to the Riad while they carried our bags. Our stay at Dar Housnia will be one of our top ten must do’s in our travel recommendations to friends!

The only problem we had was not paying attention to the location of the Riad. The twisting maze of pedestrian only streets can get confusing when you are ready to return. Luckily they give you a business card with their name and address. A local boy guided us back our first time when we had stopped at a corner looking lost.

location, away from the square so not as crazy aroundthe personal were really accommodating the food is amazing for both breakfast and dinner, we ended up eating the most of the nights after trying other restaurants in town (nothing to compare to other contorts food)

service could be very long (wait for 30min for a cocktail ) food gets served late
