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.

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.

Terrible experience- Avoid this hotel
My stay at this hotel was nothing short of awful. At the end of my stay, I was overcharged for the city tax despite having a confirmation email from Hotels.com clearly showing the amount due. The staff refused to honor it, which felt dishonest and left a bad final impression. The hotel itself is extremely noisy. A rooster crowed loudly every night, and it sounded like it was right next to my ear. It was impossible to sleep with the constant noise, which completely ruined the experience. Combined with the dated and dusty rooms, it felt more like a poorly maintained hostel than a hotel. The property desperately needs renovations and a thorough cleaning. The breakfast was disappointing and inadequate. It consisted of just two small pieces of bread, a dry, sweet bun, a tiny portion of yogurt, and a small glass of orange juice that wasn’t even filled. When I politely asked for a refill, I was refused. It was insulting. To make matters worse, the heating/air conditioning was broken, and the worker at the hotel was downright creepy. He seemed to be watching us all the time, monitoring what we were doing, and even followed us to the supermarket in a suspicious manner. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable throughout our stay. On top of all this, the worker at check in didn’t speak English at all, making communication a nightmare. Overall, this hotel was a complete letdown. I would never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We felt like family when staying here! The staff is incredibly helpful, hospitable and kind! Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience in Marrakech! We would definitely recommend this place! The food is incredible! Breakfast was such a treat and we dined there 2 evenings and it was like having a private dinner on the rooftop terrace.

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.

Impeccable service at the Riad. Enjoyed our stay here and they are so accommodating of any request. A bit hard to find so contact them in advance for info and exact directions but it’s a quiet and off the beaten path spot with easy access the other areas of the Medina. The calls to prayer can be heard but other than that very quiet location.

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....
