Amazing location right next to the souks, meant you were in the heart of the city to experience its culture to the maximum. Ilias and Hosn were the best hosts and told us everything we needed to know about the area. They provided everything we needed and printed our boarding passes as well as pickup from the airport. Excellent value for money and great breakfast.

Our stay at Riad Dar Zaida was very nice. The Riad has a beautiful inner courtyard, where you can relax, drink tea and hide from the busy street and have a nice local breakfast for 3€. The rooms are simple but comfortable and clean for a 4/5 day stay. It's located at Rue el Gza an excellent location if you are looking for a true local experience. It is very close to the Medina and the Souks, so you can walk over there. The staff was really nice and extremely helpful, specially Sahil! Excellent relation quality/price and a nice cultural experience that reminded me of my roots and of what Iberian Peninsula used to be before this stupid European dream. If you have lot's of money and want to have a postcard touristic experience or swimming pools, go somwehere else or stay at home watching TV.

There was a plumbing problem with the shower siphon, but we later realized that it was a general problem in the city and not just in the accommodation.

Place very charming and colorful, historic building, very helpful owner, offers cheap tours of Morocco.

The maid had a vacation :) In the bathroom unpleasant smell from the sewage system, poor water pressure, problems with hot water. Breakfast very modest, daily bread, butter, jam. Problems with Wi-Fi, we did not use the air conditioning. On the terrace it would be useful to have a kettle so that you could make tea while spending the evenings. Overall standard for tourists for one night with backpacks. Some of the photos of the property on the booking belong to the restaurant which operates separately.

Beautiful riad with very friendly staff and very nice rooms both in decoration and size. Great roof terrace and lobby as well. I was also allowed to use the washing machine free of charge which was a big plus. Area is super local without many tourists around which is what I expected. Many little traditional restaurants around as well as a large market with food carts and fruit and veg. Short walk to both Jemaa El Fna and Gueliz as well. Wifi also decent which isn't always the case in riads.

Only minus was the a/c not being very powerful so it was a little hot in the room but not too bad.

Quality-Price is very good. The service was very helpful and nice. Breakfast was really good and tasty, the last day we asked for some typical moroccan “crepes” and they made them for us, also they prepared breakfast earlier for us too everyday. The location is great, quiet and 15min walk through the Zouk to the Jemaa el Fnaa Square. Great places to eat very close to the Riad as well. The room was good, not too big but we didn’t need more. We asked for 2 beds so we had a big bed and a single one. The Riad is very authentic!! Decoration is really nice and they have a terrace above where you can see the city and sunrise. We also booked a trip to have dinner in the Agafay desert. Pretty nice!!

Central location in the Medina. The owner allowed us to check in and use the room in advance of the time and offered a nice tea. It is clean and it is safe as I saw someone always at the entrance of the riad. You can also book with them trips and the taxi from/to airport. Wi-fi was working in the room. I would recommend you ask to the owner to send you the google location and take note of the main entrance (number 71) as there are two.

The breakfast was easy to reserve in advance. It was a basic breakfast but included just enough to get you on your day. It also is served in wonderful seating all around the Riad.

I will warn people that it can get a little loud - but its totally worth it for the location. I always keep earplugs with me so I didn't have a single problem.

Very friendly, helpful owner and staff, if you want to experience real Marrakesh in a family hosted place and not a sterile environment in an original quarter near to the main square, this is highly recommended. The owner also told us some tips and tricks for the street. With every question and wish we could bother him.
