No air conditioning and the bed was hard and the room very small but the breakfast omelet was very good!

Disappointing service received

We did not feel particularly welcome right from the start both before and after our arrival. You have a very specific arrival window and if you don't meet it then you have to pay extra. Everything above and beyond the absolute basic costs extra at this Riad and by extra I mean significantly higher than average prices in Marrakesh. This was very disappointing as we had stayed in another Riad by the main square a week or so earlier which was run by a Moroccan family and everything was included in the price such as water, tea, snacks, and breakfast. The family also went out of their way to esure we had an amazing experience which you certainly do not get at Riad Zara. Whilst the Riad is very clean and nicely furnished, I would suggest staying at a different one if you want to receive a proper Riad experience.
George, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Riad Zara was a devine oasis. The staff were helpful, kind and friendly. The room was clean, with a magical quantity, making me feel like some sort of Moroccan prince. The old town can be a bit hetic, with the bustle of the souk at your doorstep. But upon entering Riad Zara it all disappeared, and i was wrapped in a blanket of colors and calm. I highly recommend Riad Zara for anyone who is looking for a touch of bohemian class in there visit to Marrakech.

Quite Riad

If you like walking and experiencing the real Marrakech this could be the area for you. Away from the brightly lit souks it allows you to meet the residents in their everyday life. The Riad Zara is tucked away and very peacefull. Monique is very helpfull and her Riad is well run.

Incroyablement chaleureux, propre, idéal pour faire des rencontres de gens provenants de différentes nationalités grâce aux lieux communs. Monique est une hôte extraordinaire et pleine de bons conseils pour vos visites des environs, excursions etc. Vous serez charmé dès votre entrée! Je recommanderais à tous sans hésiter!

Charming, authentic and romantic Riad

I had a really nice and pleasant stay at Riad Zara. The place is beautiful, charming, aesthetic and decorative and makes a perfect place for resting. Monique is super helpful and even though my room (ground floor) had no locker I felt safe. Bring your own locker if you're worried. She also cooks tasteful and delicious food! Only things are that it's a little far from the midtown and I felt a little bit unsafe when walking home at evening time (solo traveller). Also no food is allowed in the Riad, but I would have appreciated to bring home some snacks in between meals. Also be aware there is plastic above 1.floor which made the outside space a little less bright, but warmer during the winter time :-) In total a great experience and highly recommended.

Repetiremos

El Riad estaba perfecto, limpio, cómodo, agradable, muy bonito, y un trato por parte de Mónica excelente, incluso antes de que llegáramos se puso en contacto on nosotros para aconsejarnos y ayudarnos con el traslado desde el aeropuerto. El entorno al principio aún europeo le puede asustar un poco, pero no tuvimos ningún problema y todo fue fantástico. Sin duda volveremos toda la familia.

Riad typique, convivial et authentique

Monique est une personne très chaleureuse qui met tout de suite à l'aise ses clients. Le riad est propre et calme, les chambres sont confortables et le petit déjeuner est excellent. Grâce à ses conseils, nous avons visité l'essentiel efficacement. Nous avons aussi fait une excursion d'une journée qui regroupe normalement 4 circuits. C'était fantastique! Je recommande vivement!

Tolle Atmosphäre

Nach einem herzlichen Empfang fühlten wir uns sofort wohl. Die Zimmer waren sauber und schön eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war lecker und uns wurde jeder Wunsch erfüllt. Auch gaben uns die Besitzer tolle tips. Eine runde Sache. Echt empfehlenswert und bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Marrakesh das Riad unserer Wahl. Top
