Great location in the Medina but not in the touristy souk (markets). Everything is walkable, albeit in the narrow cobblestone streets where motor scooters like to reach their destinations quickly. (Walk on the right and defer to the scooters and occasional donkey carts). The staff are very nice and attentive. Breakfast is plentiful (yoghurt, OJ, breads and pain du chocolat, fresh fruit, three-four different jams, and coffee or tea, plus an egg or omelet dish that changes daily). Mohammed supervises and is very helpful. I also met the owner (an Englishman) who was very cordial. My room was comfortable. Hot water was plentiful. Tastefully decorated.

There are some stairs to negotiate, including two steps from my bedroom to the bathroom.

Staff were very welcoming and kind. The location is within a labyrinth of twists and turns; once we got our bearings, we were able to find it. We had a cart man meet our driver and deliver our luggage, and the riad concierge helped us with our luggage at 4 am when we checked out to get to the driver that was arranged by the riad. The rooftop healthy breakfast is a good start to the day, and the afternoon wine bar is a nice touch. We had a room with 2 twin beds that were very comfortable; daily room service was a bonus with luxury sheets and towels. The riad was quiet inside. No lock on doors when you leave your room (but can lock from the inside), but a good size safe in the closet; nonetheless the staff were present at all times. The riad was clean and the large common room was pleasing. Our room was above the courtyard and next to an orange tree. Birds in the morning were a pleasant surprise.

The hand-drawn map provided by the riad was helpful but could use some updating and be drawn better (adding a proper north arrow would be suggested). The entry street is very narrow and dark. We often returned after midnight. Although the riad seems a bit remote within the Medina, it turns out that it is close to some great museums within the Medina and near some artsy galleries, stores, and nice restaurants (that were on the map-see photo) that are not in the other busy end of the Medina.

we loved our stay at Dar Hanane. It is in the heart of the medina, tucked away in a quiet side street which made it a peaceful little sanctuary. The staff were incredible. Mohammed was very helpful from the beginning, provided us with a detailed map and gave us recommendations on attractions, museums and restaurants, and also told us what to avoid and best ways to haggle. Zakaria was the nighwatcher and was the loveliest person - he would make breakfasts very early in the morning and walk us to taxis when we would need a ride at 4am. The space is very pretty, has a small pool on the ground floor which is great to dip your feet in after a long day walking around and is very cool when the weather is warm. We also managed to see the sunrise two days in a row from the terrace, and lounged there in the evenings before dinner. We highly recommend this place and would visit again in the future.

we loved it

The views and bird song from the roof terrace in the morning and afternoon was bliss. The sunset was beautiful. Mohammed and Mehdi made us feel at home, Mohammed provided excellent knowledge of the area and do's and don't's which made is feel safe and confident. He even accompanied us to a local pharmacy that we needed. Mehdi made us very welcome offering us tea and coffee. The Riad is close enough to the main squares and souks but away enough that it's not overwhelming. Very Beautiful and tasteful decor. We would definitely come back.

We had a great stay at Dar Hanane : the staff was lovely and helpful (thank you, Mohammed and Mehdi for all the great tips), the room was squeaky clean and made every day. The location is great to be both close to the energy of the medina while being a safe haven. We were very satisfied with the value for money. We were glad we booked the arrival taxi directly with the hotel, it made everything very smooth.

Overall we had a great stay, if there is anything to note : the beds and pillows were on the firmer side and the breakfast is not very varied, a lot of bread and sweet things. But nothing that spoiled our time there, we would stay again anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Dar Hanane. The Riad has very easy access to the Souks, perfect for dinners, sight-seeing and shopping trips. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The roof terrace was the highlight as it had a great view and allowed us to enjoy the sun and escape the busy streets for a while. Mohammed and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough to improve our stay. If you’re looking at booking this Riad we would definitely recommend!

Nothing to fault.

I loved the calmness of this Riad, the cleaniness, lovely aisthetics, beautiful terrace and most importantly great people. The nicest and most professional people I met in Morrocco. This riad was the perfect place to relax after the noisy streets of Marrakesh. As a woman travelling alone, I felt very safe in this accomodation.

Wifi did not work well in my room. It worked when I was in the terrace. Breakfast included only sweet food, nothing savoury. The rooms dont lock from outside (although this may be the case with all riads).

Mehdi, the night manager, welcomed us upon our arrival. He had prepared the most delicious dinner with an assortment of Moroccan salads, followed by a very tasty tagline and fruit salad for our dessert. Every morning, he made us a fresh breakfast every morning, with pancakes, fresh fruit, yoghurt and bread with delicious jams. On our first morning, Mohamed, the manager, gave us some really useful tips and directions on how to explore the Medina. On our last evening, the earthquake hit Marrakech, just as we had got back from a meal out. Mehdi’s quick reactions and knowledge of the local area no doubt saved us from injury or possibly worse. He stayed with us for the entire evening when he must have been desperate to see his own family. Despite what was going on around us, his calmness and professionalism in turn helped us to remain calm. The next morning, he made us another breakfast as he had done the previous two mornings - with coffee, tea, fresh juice and all the trimmings. Riad Dar Hanane is a beautiful Riad, and really well placed for discovering the Medina. The staff are fantastic and knowledgeable, and very brave. Thank you Mehdi and Mohamed - we will be back one day.

Dar Hanane is beautiful, it is very old and evocative, but very well maintained. You enter through a beautiful ancient door and there is an amazing courtyard on the right with a plunge pool and orange trees surrounded by bedrooms. The whole building is immaculate, painted in white with lovely spaces to sit and read. The roof top is one of the best things about the place, it has an amazing view of the Medina, and has sun all day long with views of the Atlas Mountains and the call to prayer resonating all around you at sunset. We were fortunate enough to have the place to ourselves, and had a wonderful time in the sitting room with the fire burning in the cooler January nights. I cannot recommend Dar Hanane and the people that work there enough. We had a delicious supper there one night which was beautiful, and breakfast served on the roof every morning was delicious and varied. A wonderful experience, enhanced by the staff who were so helpful and full of advice about Marrakech.

The Honesty bar was poorly stocked and expensive, we bought our own drinks to put them in there and ice wasn’t easily available. The transfers from an to the airport were a lot more than expensive than the normal price when you ask a taxi driver. It was convenient to have these things arranged but you will pay a premium. some of the restaurant recommendations were a bit boring but that is more a question of taste than a criticism.

Fantastic stay, staff were very friendly and helpful. the owner went out of his way give us advice about the local area Breakfast was lovely and was made earlier than normal due to us going out on an early morning trip. Bedroom was lovely. as was the mint tea!

When coming back to the apartment at night the passageway down to the entrance was fairly dark, a security light would have been helpful.
