Nice, comfortable accommodation, friendly staff. A little bit out of the way, but quiet - a plus in our eyes...3 days is long enough

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!

As a tourist first time on Marrakesh, this was the best experience we could have hoped for. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Food was better than most (all?) places we went to. I honestly don't think we could find a better place to start put trip. 10/10.

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.

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.

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.

As with all medina properties, the beauty is seen when you cross the threshold. The room was a cosy twin and the communal areas were clean and pleasant. The roof terrace was spacious and is a lovely outdoor space.

We had a great stay in the Riad, the structure is beautiful, clean and staff warm and ready to assist in any need. Appreciated the guest book with useful indications. A special feature of the neighborhood is the night guardian round the corner, who cooks every night for the locals working in the surroundings. It contirbutes to give a safe, friendly and warm atmosphere, outside the touristic circuit

The Riad is beautiful but some of the areas around it were severely damaged by the earthquake. Walked through/past some dodgy masonry. Allan and M are great hosts but A has not been well and we didn't really get introduced to the Riad itself nor the services they offer - which we would have used more had we known about them. Such an interesting place.

The Riad was good and the hosts were exceptional! They were so friendly and helpful that we felt like we were staying with family. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was pretty good. The only issue we had was the aircon was not working in our room. Otherwise, our stay at the Riad was great!
