    The hotel is lovely and the staff are fantastic. Zac is an exceptional host, he is extremely helpful. He even went to the station to buy our tickets, which we could not manage online. The cook made delicious pizzas for us on our last evenjng, in fact, we wished we had tried her tagines. Next time we will eat in the hotel more often. This riad us looked after with care, and provides an authentic, comfortable, peaceful environment, with trees, plants and many small birds enjoying the pleasures of the green plants, even nesting in the courtyard. The area is very interesting, with Bahia palace just round the corner, and the herb market. We discovered lovely restaurants in the area. It was a far better location than nearer to the medina.

    Nothing, everything was great.

    The staff was very nice and did everything to make you feel like home, especially Mahdi. Also the Riad is in the city center, but very quite. The room was very clean as well.

    Beds are very hard - not good if you have back, neck or hip problems.

    Friendly, clean, beautiful. Gorgeous layout, with an oasis in the middle of the building and a sun terrace on the roof. Great location (if you don’t mind wiggling through the alleyways). Fabulous breakfast.

    Our room wasn’t soundproof at all. We felt like everyone could hear anything we said and we could also hear everything that was happening in the main hall (altough it was very quiet most of the times)

    All the staff was super nice and helpful! The breakfast is very simple but exactly what we needed! The location is right next to the Bahia Palace, 10 minute walk from the main square.

    Dar Crystal was a beautiful riad in the Marrakech medina. The location is excellent; short distances by walking everywhere, but still a quiet place in the night. Our room was beautiful and cosy. The best thing was staff; Zak and Mehdi were friendly and Zak especially gave us a lot of information and advice regarding where to visit, how to go there and how much should we pay for things. The warm breakfast was cooked and served to us the time we wanted (between 8-10). We can warmly recommend Dar Crystal!

    Our room was a bit tiny for the price. There was very little space to move around.

    The location is very good. Close to Bahia palace and the Djema el Fnaa is less than 10min walk away. The Dar is beautiful, the courtyard is very well set. The terrace is a nice place to chill in the evenings. At the check in we were greeted Mehdi, a very kind and competent guy. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and settle. He shared us the map for Marrakesh Medina and gave us some helpful hints. He also gave us his contact number to contact if needed. He prepared for us fruits for the day we had to leave early for a tour. It was a very pleasant experience for us.

    A cool, calm, quiet oasis with welcoming staff and the best views from the roof terrace!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    Worth downloading maps.me (which works without wifi / data but uses your location - lesson learned) to help find the Riad as it's not a street a taxi can pull up in front of, so the last few metres need to be on foot.

    This was sweet and blissful stay! The Riad is located down a quiet side street at the mouth of the Medina, near the Jewish quarter and nestled between the Bahia and Badi palaces, which made the location feel a wonderful secret yet central. It also sits at the start to streets that lead up to the Medina, so you are near to everything you need to visit and explore. The interior is beautiful; like all Riads, the magic is on the inside, behind old wooden doors that you wouldn't think housed such an oasis. Inside here were cool white pillars, a plunge pool, an open atrium, and in the centre an old palm tree as tall as the building, proving this Riad's authenticity (whilst providing homes to the birds that great you with a dawn chorus on sunrise). They have a superb terrace from which you can see the Atlas Mountains and across the city. The room was comfortable and I slept well. The staff, Zaq and Mahdi, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I initially had trouble finding the street, yet Mahdi kindly ventured out to collect me. They later helped with orienteering, pointing out where to go on the map, explaining the history of the area, best places to eat, so you wouldn't need a guide book. They also took care of my luggage so I could explore the city before a late flight, post check-out. I only stayed for one night, and it was hard to leave.. The memory of watching the sun rise from their perfect terrace is one of the best memories from my trip to Marrakesh. I will definitely return, to the city and to this Riad.

    Our room was facing the patio which made it a bit noisy. Also, we had to keep windows closed when we wanted privacy because the windows were facing the patio were other guests were sitting. The bed was too hard, it wasn't very comfortable.

    Dark Cristal is beautifully decorated, it's patio is astonishing!. Such a stylish place :). It's staff were welcoming, helpful and true professionals who enjoy their job. Mahdi was such an attentive staff who looked after us taking care of every detail. We really appreciated Mahdi's recommendations, good manners and sense of humour. We'll definitely visit Mahdi in our next trip to Marrakesh. Thanks Mahdi! A real pleasure meeting you !!

    The beds are a little bit hard but it is something very common in all the country, we found the same kind of beds in every hotel.

    The Riad was very nice, near all the attractions but in a quite zone. It is a kind of peace oasis in the caos of the city. In the night the street to arrive to the riad could seem a little bit scaring but I think that it is something very common in Marrakech, anyway we didn't have any problem. Mahdi the host is a fantastic person, always ready to help you, and he is a plus to the place. Breakfast is very very nice. I recommend this riad to everyone that want to pass some nights in Marrakech
