This review is very, very late as we stayed in January/February. We absolutely loved this riad! The staff were fantastic. They were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast each morning was wonderful and it was the best orange juice we've ever had! We especially liked coming back to the riad in the afternoon for some mint tea on the patio before heading back out sightseeing. During our 2 weeks in Morocco we travelled around the country a bit, but we couldn't wait to get back to Marrakech and to Dar Essalam. We had dinner in the restaurant our last night and the staff pulled out all the stops and we truly felt like VIPs. We loved it and the staff were truly wonderful. It was a great stay!

8/10 Very good

Everything about the hospitality and room was excellent. The staff were always on hand to help and nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the Luxury Room which was spacious, comfortable and decorated nicely. However (and this is the only reason for leaving a star off the rating) it is situated beneath the roof terrace which is popular and has a bar open until 11pm. We did invest in some earplugs and they helped somewhat. If you are out anyway until late at night enjoying Marrakech then this won’t be an issue for you!

4/10 Fair

Most of the staff was so kind and helpful. However, my first night, as I put in my previous check-in review, was miserable. The construction literally right outside my window went past 5:30am and I did not sleep at all. When I called to the front desk for help, the man told me I should go tell the workers to stop. Obviously this is absurd, and I told him that in fact HE needed to address the issue. It didn’t make a difference. The yelling from the workers and non-stop construction sounds continued and kept me from sleeping at all.

Richly decorated plush riad in the heart of town
Most people went here to dine in the dining room where "The Man Who Knows Too Much" was filmed, but when we actually stayed in this location, you surround yourself in plush and beautiful decor, and we got to walk around in the morning with no other guests around from one dining room to another instead of the during the bustling belly dancing dinner time. The room is nicely decorated with only 2 small windows that your hand can barely fit in, but we were there in May so there's no need for A/C (provided in room). Very close to Jemaa al-Fna but go to the souks on the north side for better deals and selections on food and items instead. Service was super nice and the lady accommodated our requests with a smile. One of the best stays in our 3-week driving trek in Morocco.
Great breakfast in the middle of plush decor

Fantastic Experience. Exceptional
Not enough words to express how great this property is. In the heart of the old city and just steps away from all the major sites you’ll wish to see. What made this so special for myself was not only the Riad and it’s rooms as well as the building itself and the spectacular restaurant and the vast amount of history within it but the staff were always available to assist. With a friendly sincere smile in the morning to assisting with directions or setting up excursions to the Atlas Mountains or a special dinner out. I can honestly say that this is a hidden gem that will make your trip a special one. Many thanks to Soumia and all the staff. I have traveled the world and this I rate as “Highly recommended”. Don’t be fooled by the price. Read the reviews it will not disappoint.

Moroccan Dream Riad
Loved this riad. Staff super friendly and kind, Royal Suite off the chart. Great location only a few minutes walk from the action. We arrived at the end of Ramadan and celebrations were in full swing. The restaurant next door was buzzing. We arrived late evening, popped in for a drink and felt like we had been transported to another world. Belly Dancing, candle dancing and music. Fantastic.

In the heart of the Medina you are close to everything. A very short walk to get a taxi. The rooms look like the photos. You will not be disappointed. You do have to walk up and downstairs. Service staff are excellent and friendly.

This is a brilliant place to stay. It’s right in the heart of everything. The staff are really helpful. We stayed in Scherezade, a lovely room with its own terrace, just be aware it’s at the top of 3 flights of stairs.

My wife uses a mobility scooter and the hotel was located in a great area. The staff allowed us to leave the fold up scooter behind the reception desk so we did not have to carry it upstairs. Breakfasts were excellent, staff helpful and chatty. Very historic riad, the roof terrace is currently being renovated but the potential is there. The views around the riad were atmospheric. Good shower and biscuits and fruit provided in your room. We are planning to come back next year but maybe earlier in March as weather started to get a little too hot.

The room was beautiful and spaces. We love it a lot. The restaurant in the hotel is fantastic! Best Tagine we had in Morocco. The staffs speak very good English and very helpful! The room was always cleaned nicely and on time. The only disappointment was that the terrace was in renovations and we didn’t have a common area to hang out.
