The service at this Riad was exceptional. From greeting and checking us in, checking in to make sure everything is okay and making sure breakfast is available for the time we were starting our day. They even set up something small for us on the day we were leaving at 7am. The rooms are clean, spacious, the bathrooms are great and the rooms are cleaned each day. The area is also very nice and walkable. It's beside a meat market but you'll only notice it when walking to and from the hotel. It's very easy to walk into the souks area and the square. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay in Marrakech.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We really enjoyed our stay here, even though it started off a little confusing! We went to the address shown on our booking and ended up at their sister property, Dar Massaï Spa, instead — so there was a bit of a walk with our suitcases to the right riad. Once we got there, though, everything was lovely. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and the riad itself is beautifully decorated and very peaceful. The beds were really comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was excellent. It’s a little bit out of the way of the main centre, but once you get your bearings, it’s a great base for exploring Marrakesh. All in all, a great experience with wonderful hosts — just make sure you head to the right Dar Massaï when you arrive!

Amazing stay! The staff was super helpful and the location is in the medina but away from the center so it’s very quiet and serves as a great relaxing break from the bustle of the heart of the medina.

Dreamy Marrekech

Our trip to Marrekech was amazing and Riad Dar Massi made it so. Beautiful Riad, excellent service. Nordine and Adam were very helpful and nice. Nordine always made sure we were safe and walked us to our meeting points when it was before sunrise. Dinner at the Riad was authentic and delicious. Our rooms were lovely and comfortable. Fabulous stay.

First of all, the staff is just the best. The riad itself is just as it looks in the photos. I had the room off the main room and it was quiet. I could hear the rooster and birds chirping and loved it. The bed was comfortable, I had all I needed. Wi-fi was great and they have WINE The staff wants you to feel like a family member in their home and they do just that. The riad's location is safe and easy to get to once they show you how to get there. The taxis are just a five minute walk. I would absolutely stay there again and especially as a single woman guest.

Best Hotel Staff I've ever had

The property was beautiful, with an inside pool and roof terrace, as well as being wonderfully decorated. It was also in an excellent location, an easy walk to jamaa el fina but in a relatively quiet part of the medina. Breakfast was simple but tasty and we had dinner there one night and it was probably the best thing we ate in Marrakech. The biggest highlight of the Riad though was undoubtedly the staff, Adam and Nordin going out of their way to make you feel special and valued every day. There was another young lady who worked there too (sorry, I never got her name) who was also very helpful and nice. Couldn't recommend staying with these guys on your next trip to Marrakech more.

The staff at the Riad and the Riad itself were perfectly lovely. It really is great value for the price. We ate in Riad first night (we arrived late) and the tagine was one of the best I have had in Morocco (I've been twice and tagine almost every time). Definitely recommend spending the money to have the hotel arrange a taxi from airport, or arrange with Riad staff to meet you to walk you to the door as the route could be intimidating the first time. Location was perfect for us, everything we visited was within 5 - 30 mins walk. Only negatives (very minor!) - should have bottled water included in room price and available in room and the location would make some solo travelling women a bit uncomfortable in early morning or after dark....

The Riad is very nice. The decoration is fabulous and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I also liked the terrace up on the top. The food and breakfast was also very good. Unfortunately, though the walls are thin, and there was a guest in the room next to me who was snoring very loudly every night, which was making it very difficult for me to sleep. I wanted to change rooms, but unfortunately, this was not possible. There is also an annoying rooster next door that starts making noise early in the morning so probably not the best place to stay if you are a light sleeper or bring ear plugs.Also important to know that if you use the hotel’s hammam , it is a 10 minute walk away and the lady who does the Massage gave me only a 30 minute massage instead of a 45 minutes. After complaining, I got an extra 15 minutes so if you do book the service, just keep an eye on the time.

There was water damage in riad and smelled like musty mildew. No tissues, ran out of toilet paper. We ended up with a different room due to the water damage. No welcome drink and no one to greet us. We had to call and wait for letting us in for checking in. We decided to go to the square for dinner. Asked the staff how to come back since we had an issues at check in. We were reassured to just ring and/or knock and we would be let in. We arrived at the riad to knock and ring over and over. Called 15 times without any answer. Waited outside, late at night for almost 20 minutes before we were let in as the only staff member was sleeping. I would definitely not stay here again!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and always willing to help with a smile. The location couldn’t have been better close to everything yet still quiet and relaxing, making it the perfect spot for both exploring and unwinding. The amenities exceeded my expectations: modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with all the details carefully taken care of. I also really enjoyed the common areas, which had a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. What stood out the most was the people the service was consistently outstanding, making me feel truly at home. Every interaction was genuine and added to the overall charm of the place. I honestly can’t recommend this hotel enough. It’s rare to find a place where everything from location to amenities to hospitality comes together so perfectly. I will definitely be coming back!
