    Nothing was really nice and good value for money. Breakfast was really nice.

    Tastefully decorated and interesting. Had some nice touches in the room. Great people Adeel was fantastic very helpful and friendly. Peter the owner got in contact beforehand to give us his number to assist to the Rhiad and Adeel met us to take our luggage. Was a short walk from the taxi drop off.

    The staff were wonderful. Thoughtful, unassuming, gracious, helpful, courteous. The food was AMAZING, I need to eat gluten free food and we're not big meat eaters and they accommodated all our needs and the breakfasts were tasty and nutritious, the 3 course evening meal we had was the best food we had in Morocco - fresh, delicious and lovingly prepared. The decor was stunning, it felt luxurious and homely. It was all wonderful and made our holiday really special.

    A jewel and oasis in the old city!

    The Riad exceeded our expectations.

    This property is an oasis in the old city. The accommodation is comfortable and with a limited number of guest rooms it feels like your own private residence. The staff are exceptional! They are knowledgable, extremely helpful and go beyond expectations to make sure your stay is comfortable and assisting with the arranging of sightseeing excursions. The breakfast offers a fulsome choice of items, from freshly pressed orange juice, buttery avocado and a wonderful assortment of other items. The cooking class was informative, fun and delicious! The dinner menu items of fluffy couscous Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved lemons and the Lamb with Prunes were both sublime! The rooftop terrace provides an additional oasis within the Riad.

    The staff were lovely and so helpful. We were delayed in arriving and a meal was still provided late at night and Adel even helped to book us train tickets for our onward travel. The room was small but comfortable and nicely decorated. The location was great for us. It is between the new town and 10 minutes walk from the crazy part of the Medina. This meant that the streets were full of locals and were hassle free compared to a lot of the Medina.

    You could hear all the other guests in their rooms, but if you want to stay at a riad in the Medina that should be expected.

    The stuff was wonderful, made me feel very welcome and i could not have asked for a better introduction. The riad was beautiful and the breakfast was perfect, I would have loved to stay longer than two nights.

    Beautiful riad in the Medina with great staff

    The riad is in a great location in the Medina, with a beautiful relaxing terrace and other nice indoor seating areas. It’s a bit challenging to find (like everything!), but Hassan gave us a thorough explanation of how to get around using landmarks and the maps.me app. The bed was comfortable, and since there are only 4 rooms it was really pretty quiet. It’s a nice break from the craziness of the city! A nice touch was the free filtered water - the plastic bottles really start to pile up otherwise. We loved all the suggestions of things to do and places to eat!

    We liked everything!

    The Riad was the ideal experience for our stay in Marrakech! The staff was warm and welcome and very attentive throughout our stay. The location is ideal - right in the heart of the medina and walking distance to everything you need to see. They give you a helpful map and explanation of the area when you check in, as well as advice for how to navigate the city. They were also very accommodating to our gluten-free dietary restrictions. The included breakfast on the terrace every morning was a highlight!

    Amazing staff (everyone says that). I booked a room during a heat spell that prevented the air conditioner from cooling the room properly. They bent over backwards to put me in a more comfortable room during my stay. Over and above service. I will never forget them. Thank you Peter and staff!

    Peter, Hassan and Adil were amazing hosts, and Riad Dar Zaman was the perfect place to spend our first night in Morocco. After a small crisis at the airport when our car rental falling through, Peter was able to organise a like-for-like rental once we arrived at the riad with a trustworthy local company. As two males travelling together, we didnt find all places in Morocco to be truly relaxed and welcoming, but the opposite was the case at the Riad, with Hassan being incredibly welcoming and helpful on our arrival, giving us tips on all the local places to visit and eat. And when I developed a migraine late in the evening, Adil didnt hesitate to go out and get some paracetemol for me. It was like staying with family, we loved it.

    Beautiful home from home in the Marrakech medina. Lovely peaceful retreat from the hectic world outside its doors. Lovely pretty roof terrace, perfect location for breakfast. the staff were all so friendly and welcoming - Hassan, Adele, Kamile and the owner Peter. Make sure you let them cook dinner for you at least once as it’s sensational cooking.
