10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Dar Massai. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The Riad itself is beautifully decorated, peaceful, and full of charm, a perfect escape from the busy streets of Marrakech. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and I really appreciated the attention to detail throughout the property. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh ingredients and a lovely setting to enjoy it. The location is ideal, 10 min walk to Jma el Fna but tucked away enough to feel quiet and relaxing. The team were always available to offer recommendations or help arrange anything we needed, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would happily return. Highly recommend Riad Dar Massai to anyone visiting Marrakech. Special thanks to Nourdine and Adam for the lovely service provided.

8/10 Very good

The staff was incredible, the mattress could use a change up. Quite possibly the best coffee we have had at any of our Riad's. A great experience overall.
Ollie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Melissa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Getting to the hotel can be a bit of a pain at first with luggage as the cobble streets and navigating around the locals and bikes. Once you find it the Riad is so nice inside. The staff are the kindest and nicest people I’ve ever encountered in any facility. The hotel was kept so clean! The room We had was perfect for us (definitely make sure to bring your own toiletries and maybe extra toilet paper/ wipes. They have one roll provided but it’s not as much in a roll compared to rolls in the states. We luckily had wipes so had no issues. Also remember to have a water bottle to brush your teeth. If you’re from the states- Morocco isn’t probably your first trip but just a reminder to get an international wall outlet (the two prong stick looking wall plug). The streets come alive at night! -I don’t recommend going too far off the beaten path at night. Also be aware of the children in the area they will tend to ask for money and will follow you to the hotel. Overall if we were to come back to Morocco we would stay here again!

The staff was friendly, dinner was amazing and the place is very clean. The rooms are very unique, although the sheets.blanket could be softer. Overall great location and would recommend to others! I am also still thinking about the desert we had at dinner, I want it every night.
Kallie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Misti, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
