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.

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.

Had an absolute amazing stay. We were welcomed with nothing but care, love, and respect throughout our entire stay. The staff are extremely attentive, and will do nothing less than take care of you every need. Can't wait to go back and stay further nights.

The Riad itself is decent. My room with two beds were not big tho. Staff was friendly to help us with our luggages and they are honest. I would recommend this place if you want to experience the traditional Riad setting.

The service was exceptional
The location was apt for visiting local attractions.
The staff were very knowledgeable about the history of Marrakech and the origin of its cuisine
The entire stay was splendid and didn’t expect to have such a relaxing holiday without televisions in the rooms.

The welcoming of the staff was great there were very helpful and thoughtful. Unfortunately, There was a pool we couldn’t use because it was dirty. The bathroom smelled like pee all the time.
It wasn’t a 4 star hotel in my opinion.

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....
