    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!

    The road is slightly off the beaten track but this was not a problem. Suifran made sure we could always find our way and even came to pick us up and drop us off for a tour.

    "Is everything good?" Everything is perfect. We were treated like royalty. The staff are exceptional and cannot do enough for you Suifran is a delight.

    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.

    We stayed here on our 1st trip to Marrakech and what a fantastic stay it was. The Riad is a little bit out of the way but reading the previous reviews, we knew this. The Riad is beautiful and the staff are fantastic and attentive. The food is very reasonably priced and superb. Breakfast on the rooftop was excellent. The free airport shuttle was a big plus. They also sorted out our private tour of the Atlas Mountains. I'd highly recommend staying here and we'll be back.

    The riad is located in the old town of Marrakesh. It is not so easy to reach it by car if you drive yourself as the streets are very narrow. But that is to be expected due to the location.

    Nicest hosts that I have met so far. Exceptionally comfortable, detailled and lovely accomodation.

    Lovely riad that served perfectly for our first trip to Morocco and Marrakech. We were well taken care of by the attentive and nice staff, and big bonus for the free shuttle and the mobile phone with Moroccan SIM that we could use throughout our stay. The riad itself was beautiful, traditional and very relaxing. Perfect for reading a book and sip on a mint tea. Will come again.

    We had a great time here in Marrakech at Riad Dar Zaouia. The Riad is located in an authentic and safe area. It is about a 15-20 minute walk from the centre with the square. Our room as well as the whole Riad was very clean. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were offered a phone to take with us with hotspot and useful information and all the staff gave us a lot of tips for our stay in Marrakech. Aziz even organized a trip for us. We ate dinner at the riad twice and the food was delicious! An airport transfer was included. We couldn't be happier with the choice we made!
