Riad Zahir

Beautifully fitted out Riad. Splendid terrace. Pretty bathroom. Good location. Kind staff.

On arrival, one in our company (a 60+ female solo traveller and who the staff were expecting) found herself outside a locked front door and there was nobody who answered the phone. Thankfully this was during the day and a kind gentleman from the local shop down the road provided her with a chair while she waited and continued to ring for 30 minutes for someone from the Riad to welcome her.

We had a wonderful stay! The lovely women were so welcoming and helpful — communication before and during our visit was excellent. Our room was cozy, with a beautiful blue bathroom, and we loved having breakfast on our own private terrace. The riad felt authentic and peaceful, yet it was very central.

The only small downside was that the pool and rooftop terrace could use a little care, but overall it didn’t take away from the experience. We’d definitely come back!

Lovely riad in quiet area of Marrakech

Price was on the higher side compared to similar riads available at the same time

Almost everything!

Maybe the rooftop terrace should have gotten some love and care and breakfast could have had some fruit or some healthier options. (But it was still delicious!!!)

The room was lovely and the staff were all very friendly and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble. The riad is quite peaceful once inside, we only saw 2 other guests the entire time. The beds were super comfortable and the air con kept the room at a perfect temperature.

It's a pretty long walk to get to the main square and it's next to a very busy road / taxi rank area once you get out of the smaller street, so it often felt stressful to get through that part before you reached anything you wanted to see. That said, having taxis close by was also useful at times. The pictures on the website are a bit deceptive as they give the impression that the pool and surrounding areas are much bigger and more glamorous than they were. Overall it was a nice play to stay, but next time I'd go for something much closer to jemaa el fna sqaure, that has more space and a bigger pool as it gets very hot.

We loved all about the property. We don’t have any negative to say. Riad is in the Medina. Beautiful Riad. Ladies cleaned the room and everything in the Riad every single day. They was so welcoming and friendly. They asked us every time they saw us if everything is good and asked if we want a tea. They helped us and we felt us very safe. These ladies who work in this Riad are the most amazing people I met.

Everything was perfect.
