Overall Ratings & Reviews Riad Dar Zaman

I wanted to stay at a traditional Moroccan riad and this property did not disappoint. It is nestled in the heart of a vibrant community but once inside guests are greeted with tranquility, Moroccan tea of course, and lots of hospitality. I loved our room, the breakfast and eating out on the rooftop garden. I would highly recommend if you want an authentic, non-commercial experience.

Lovely hosts and great experience. Property is beautiful. Can’t recommend it enough.

A great little Riad - only 4 bedrooms, in the oldest part of the Medina - be prepared for narrow streets. The Riad was super quiet, yet really convenient for all the sites. The staff were super helpful - especially Hassan and Adil. They really made our stay a success

Been coming back to this small family-style Riad a few times now, and can´t imagine staying anyplace else. A super short walk to the Medina and the best place to come home and rest up after an exhausting day of walking and shopping.

Hassan our host was extremely helpful and so nice. Breakfast was amazing! But our room was way too small and air conditioning wasn’t working well and it was hot!!!

This was a delightful little riad! It was quiet and peaceful. They were able to accommodate our vegan diet at breakfast and it's within walking distance to one of the only vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Marrakech.

The Riad is in a quiet area, off the busy streets. The staff are wonderful and care about your stay there. Breakfast is charming and if you have your evening meal there, the food is great!

We had a lovely experience at the Riad Dar Zaman. We felt very welcomed by the super trio: Peter, Hassan and Adeen. They would go far and beyond to accommodate and make our stay was stress free. The breakfast was delicious with a lovely selection of fresh produce. It has been an absolute pleasure to stay in this petit paradise in the heart of Marrakesh. We highly recommend this jewel! LGBT friendly.

This is a great Riad. Staff are excellent, food was good and it was very clean.

I liked everything about this Riad. Yassine made sure to explained over to me as soon as I made iT. Him and the staff were incredible. I recommend staying at this Riad. It’s so low key and you wouldn’t know that it’s in the area.

I enjoyed our stay at the riad. It was centrally located and it was quiet. It is not often that you fond both features.

Awesome, best Riad we stayed at and we stayed at 3 altogether and by far this was the best and customer service excellent

Fantastic staff. Hassan and Peter were very helpful, but really so also was everyone else. If you can handle the all day length of the trip, I highly recommend the visit to Ouarzazate and Ait bin Haddou.

Very nice riad with a great ambiance. Breakfast is brilliant and the welcome from the staff is very warm. We will stay here again in the future.

This Riad is approached through narrow twisting alleys past broken buildings, buildings being mended and appears unpromising at first. Once inside this is a haven of peace and as Yasmine told us on arrival "this is your home for the next few days so you are now part of the family". Yasmine and Hassan who cover nights and days respectively are so very helpful, kind and polite. They provide yards of information and as we were first timers in Marrakech they gave us so many survival tips as well as information, directions and advice on the best places to visit and eat in 3 days. We also met Peter who is the English owner but who now lives offsite. Again he was generous and helpful and made us feel really welcome. The room was unique in our experience and appeared to be consistent with the north African styles which we experienced but very comfortable and compact. Breakfast was superb and we took dinner on the first evening which again was delightful. We had our own key to come and go and there was always a refreshing drink of mint tea on arrival from a busy day walking round Marrakech.

We can't recommend this enough, the riad is beautiful, the bedrooms are lovely and the breakfast is delicious but none of this compares to the wonderful hospitality afforded to us by Hassan and his colleagues. He met us on arrival, provided us with a brilliant welcome to Marakech. including some great reccomendations for food. Overall all the staff were so kind and helpful that we felt like royalty for a weekend.

My partner and I stayed for one week in Dar Zaman at the end of October. This charming, small riad is the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the Marrakech souks. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel part of the Dar Zaman family, by Peter, Hassan, Yassine & Karima. Their service & attention is second to none - you would not find better service at any hotel/guesthouse. I cannot recommend Dar Zaman enough. Hassan & Yassine - the day & night managers of the Riad, are so personable and show genuine care and attention to their guests. They helped arrange our day trips out of Marrakech, and helped with reservations at restaurants & hammam/spas with no trouble at all. I would recommend anyone who stays at Dar Zaman to enjoy dinner there, at least once - their Chicken Tagine is the best we tasted in Marrakech. I am counting down the days until we return to this paradise!

We wanted to stay in a riad to get a more authentic experience and it didn't disappoint one bit. The riad was lovely and what made the whole trip even better was the staff who work there. They got the balance spot on between being there to help and also giving us our own space. Having fresh tea made for us every evening and listening to stories of our experiences that day was just brilliant. Local knowledge was amazing. I would find it hard for anyone to say they didn't enjoy there stay and before booking be clear that this riad isn't in the shiny part of the city. It's in a local neighbourhood that isn't polished up for tourists. We felt completely safe at all times and there is always someone on duty in the riad. If you want to be in a really local area, within 5 mins the souks, then this place is for you. It is a slightly longer walk into the main square but we couldn't get enough of the walk through the bustling alleyways with all the sights and smells.

The riad staff is 100% dedicated to your happiness and satisfaction with every detail of your stay.

I requested a pick up from the airport since it was my first time there and I was alone. From the airport driver to the staff, to the stay at the Riad, driver of the tour, the guide at the Atlas Mountains and owner they were all simply "AMAZING". Hassan was beyond helpful and complete attentive to my needs and wants during this trip; Abdul (driver to my tour) simply sweet and always with a smile on his face; Mohamed Ali was supremely knowledgeable, attentive and always made sure to check up on you during the hike about the Atlas Mountains and surrounding area. Can't say anything else but to give them the best and honest review! I would definitely return!
