Dar Al Hayat

The riad is absolutely fantastic, quiet and beautiful place, a place you can relax and calm down after getting through bustling streets and corners of Marrakech Medina. Our hosts, Ali and Jannat, are probably one of the most kind people we ever met! They did everything and more so we feel as at home, as a part of family even. Big big THANK YOU! :) Riad has everything you'd like to have including rooftop terrace for evening chillout (mornings were still too cold), fully equipped kitchen, TV (if you need one during holidays) and centrally located living room/meeting space. With a fountain ;) Plus you can order breakfast served along with delicious mint tea :)

Really hard to find but if any, maybe sometimes we felt we could use a dish washer but it's not that inconvenient after all. We ate mainly outside.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Good breakfast with local products, fresh orange juice and water. A couple of restaurants and bars nearby.

Clean, new Riad with everything we needed. Great location and restaurants close by. Wonderful hosts who looked after us so well with beautiful food and organised tours for us.

The breakfast is nice and the hosts are very hospitable.

Wow - what a wonderful place to stay . I can’t really better the previous reviews. Everything was just perfect . The owners Ali and Janette were so friendly and helpful and really made us feel so welcome and safe . We ate in for four evenings and had the most wonderful meals on the rooftop - we didn’t find anywhere else in the immediate locality that could better the food and venue . Would stay here again in a heartbeat .

Absolutely nothing

Just beautiful....Ali and Janet were the perfect hosts and looked after us so well. We were six friends and took over the whole exquisite Riad. The rooms were so comfortable, luxurious and spotless. We left all our concerns behind the moment we stepped inside, met by our lovely hosts and served mint tea around the fountain while they gave us really helpful info on Marrakech. We ate supper on the roof terrace on the first night and it was wonderful, delicious and so lovely to sit under the stars. I had fish with preserved lemons while friends had lamb tagine. It was so plentiful and melt in the mouth. Ali's sister is the cook and created the most incredible breakfasts too with omelettes, pancakes, fruit, jams, teas, good coffee, breads. We lacked for nothing. A great location meant we were a stone's throw from all the main sights but hidden down a quiet back street, where tranquility reigned through the large wooden door. Decor, comfort, awesome bathrooms, big beds, roof terrace were all just perfect. Thank you. It felt such a safe comfortable home to return to after a busy day. Janet was a great help in planning our itinerary too. All fabulous, thank you!

Can't think of anything. My photos don't match titles but they hopefully show how lovely the place is

Our hosts set a kind and gracious tone for our visit from the start. Ali and Jeanette were there to meet us, show us the property, make suggestions, and provide us tips to get the most out of our Marrakech experience. The riad was wonderful. It was comfortable, clean, well-located, and beautiful. We also really enjoyed the breakfasts and dinner we had during our stay. We ate on the rooftop which was a great way to start the day. The meals were excellent! I don't give high scores easily, but I have to say this was an outstanding place to stay and I would VERY HIGHLy recommend it. Not just for the riad itself but for the genuine kindness and hospitablity of our hosts.

I really can't think of anything.

This was truly a bit of paradise in the bustling Medina

None

This was the perfect place to stay for our trip as a group of 6. The riad is incredibly clean and every room is gorgeous. It is very spacious and has three different "common" areas, including a gorgeous rooftop which is the star of the show. An evening up there with a cool drink is divine. The bedrooms are all excellent and very nicely designed, with good air conditioning units and sizeable bathrooms. There is also a well equipped kitchen. The location is perfect if you want to explore - it is on the edge of the walled Medina city, so it is easy to both explore the Medina and the outer city. It is a great way to get a flavour for the authentic city. Our host, Ali, went above and beyond in every way. You could not find a more accommodating owner.

There was nothing not to like about the riad. If you want a quiet stay then this isn't the right neighbourhood, but once you are in the riad it is very peaceful and barely any noise.
