Perfcef, just perfect

Absolutely perfect. Amazing service and staff. Felt like being at a family friend's. For anyone visiting I would recommend a Riad, and definitely Riad Zohar! The twin room was a great size, clean and cool, with Air Con but only used it once. The pool and roof top terrace were great after a hot day out. The hosts are lovely and all the staff attentive. 10/10!

This Riad is a real gem - we were looked after so well and the building was beautiful with everything we could need. The staff are all friendly and attentive, and Allan was very approachable and helpful the whole stay. The food was amazing and the location is really central to everything we needed. The rooftop was a real bonus too - especially for relaxing evenings. Highly recommend.

The staff at Riad El Zohar are exceptional. The checkin lady helped us select safe and reasonable cost restaurants, took us to a spice shop (with no commercial links to the Riad) and was very friendly, great with information.. The after hours staff member (Radi) was also exceptional. He arranged bus tickets for my wife and I to Essouira, including a man with trolley to carry our luggage to the taxi pickup. Travelers must accept that because this Riad is in the old town (Medina) which is a labirinth of narrow laneways, it is a reasonable walk to the Riad especially if pulling luggage. The Guest Information booklet is comprehensive and informative. Excellent info for folks new to Marrakech. My only request for improvement is that while Allan (the owner) has listed his UK Whatsapp contact details, I sent a couple of messages to him via Whatsapp but received no replies. I would highly recommend this Riad.

Thoughtful and personal hosts.

Only 2 nights but I have recommended this already to a friend who has also booked. Lovely team who work to make sure you are comfortable. Amazing food for breakfast, no options but none needed as it was delicious, homemade and plentiful. Right in the middle of the medina, don’t refuse the hotel pick up from the airport, you may never find the riad! We got lost a lot but it was part of the experience and anyone we asked, helped. It was peaceful within but straight into the chaos of the medina once you walked a few minutes. We’d come back for sure.

The staff was excellent, especially Erradi and Morad. This is a small quiet boutique hotel very close to the center of Marrakech but tucked away in a quiet alley/walkways inside the medina. We enjoyed a beer or glass of wine each evening after shopping or touring on the rooftop. We enjoyed dinner there our first night after a day of travel. Allan was very helpful in all of his responses to our inquires.

I cannot recommend this Riad enough. Allan, Malika & all the staff are exceptional. They make a wonderful team. Nothing was too much trouble. Allan showed us around Marrakech & how to navigate our way around the alleys & was full of really helpfull tips & info. He even took time to take us to his favourite spice shop where we purchased amazing spices. The Riad itself is beautiful & very well situated in the centre of everything. It is a calming oasis amongst the hustle & bustle of the city. Our room was lovely with an amazing bathroom. The breakfast is very good & there is a constant supply of tea, coffee & mint tea if you want it anytime. There is also a beautiful roof terrace you can enjoy. If you book this Riad you will not be disappointed. We had a wonderful 3 nights stay here & would definitely return. Many thanks to Allan.

We had a lovely stay at this Riad. It’s very quiet and clean. The staff are lovely and unfortunately I can’t remember the guys name who works night but he is very helpful. My advice would be to read the guest guide when you arrive as there so many helpful tips in there. I would also recommend asking for transfers to and from the airport as that was very well organised. Breakfast were great , I wish we had of tried an evening meal but unfortunately we didn’t have enough time. Thanks again to all the staff.

Our stay in our Riad was amazing, the best meal we had during our whole day. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was always someone who spoke English, which was helpful. Breakfast was lovely. The accommodations were clean and they were very accommodating. My only struggle was that when we returned at night, it was hard to find our way back to our door. We did feel unsafe at one point. In hindsight, we should have called the Riyadh and I know that someone would’ve come and met us. It was a true traditional, Riyadh and very pretty.

We had a fantastic stay at Riad El Zohar. Its location is ideal for exploring the city—right in the heart of the Medina, yet offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. We especially loved watching the sunset from the rooftop terrace and waking up to the sound of birds in the morning. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. We highly recommend this beautiful riad to anyone visiting Marrakech.
