    Nothing….its a 20min walk to the markets and main square but we enjoyed the walk watching locals at work. There was no hassle as in other markets….you were allowed to look at leisure.

    This Riad is beautiful, lots of areas to roam throughout the property including a very pretty roof top restaurant and sun terrace.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful riad, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The staff were extremely courteous, cheerful, and provided excellent service. 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.

    Just 15 mins walking distance from the centre, the breakfast is amazing and we had dinner also a few times and was delicious. Everything was super clean but above all the staff. 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 door to the room did not lock from the outside, just had a bolt. The place felt secure but would have preferred a lock and key. The beautiful old doors may not have allowed it?

    Beautiful, peaceful place with a lovely terrace and a small pool in the courtyard. Room was gorgeous. Soufiane who ran the place could not have been more helpful.

    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.

    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.

    Fabulous little gem of a hotel in the centre of the Old part of Marrakech. Soufian was absolutely the epitome of how you should look after guests. Nothing was too much.. giving us a phone during our stay was a good touch.. The room was excellent, and the breakfast on the rooftop terrace was delicious. When we come back to Marrakech, we will stay here again.

    Wonderful Riad, great people, amazing service, beautiful rooms, wonderful atmosphere, great breakfast. Situated in a local area with no tourists. The Riad gives you a phone during the stay, so you can always find your way on the map, and call them if necessary. A truly great and needed service since it can be really difficult to find the way without.

    The staff were amazing, especially with our young son. They gave us a phone to use for navigation, which was really handy. The pool was heated so perfect for winter. The roof terrace was also really nice. It’s a little distance away from the busy centre but that’s quite a good thing. Also meant taxis etc can get right to the property, unlike elsewhere.
