Dar El Souk
"Travelled with friends. Excellent location and superb service. Madeleine's enthusiasm spills over to make the stay all the more enjoyable. Her local knowledge ensures no time is wasted going to the wrong places. Service from the staff is prompt and polite. Would not hesitate to recommend or return. Ideal place to get a real feel for the city. Go there and enjoy yourself."
E Johns, Kent, UK
"This is a beautiful riad, with all rooms furnished and decorated individually in local Moroccan style, with great attention to detail.With private seated and shaded terraces outside rooms and on roof terrace. A charming hostess with very helpful information on where to go and what to do.Excellent dinners and charming staff make this riad a comfortable place to stay. We would have no hesitation in returning"
A Guest, Sheffield, UK
"What a beautiful riad! The courtyard was truly beautiful and the little pool in the middle was very welcome to paddle our feet in after a busy day in Marrakech! The riad is set back from the main square and felt really peaceful which was really nice to chill out after the mayhem of the souks."
Sarah, UK
"From the welcome by Abdul, this riad couldn't be better. The building is tucked away along winding lanes close to the markets, but inside is an oasis of quiet. The riad has a family, 'our home is your home' feel to it. The staff couldn't be more helpful. It's well located for all the sights in central Marrakech (5 minutes walk from the main square). We only stayed two nights while exploring the city but I would definitely go back."
CM, Ipswich, UK
"The roof terrace is gorgeous. Being served meals up there was a real treat. All the staff are lovely and sorted us out very helpfully. Abdul provided lots of useful advice. They served us a delicious supper on our first night. Breakfast was tasty too. Thoroughly recommended. Convenient for Bahia Palace and the main square, hence not far from the souks."
Laura G, UK
"The free Hipmarrakech App has proved amazing for our clients. It gives them confidence to navigate the medina knowing they can always find their way back our house, even with NO data roaming switched on. Further it locates many restaurants in Marrakech that our guests like (some of which give discounts to those with the App), and then helps them find their way back to the riad easily. Further, they can also book excursions in or around Marrakech at short notice."
