Beautiful Riad. Good location, great value, very very friendly, pretty pool, nice decor. Super kind staff.

The staff smoked continuously and the smoke drifted into our bedrooms. We didn’t feel comfortable asking the manager and staff not to smoke in the Riad since they were in charge. It was difficult to get away from the smoke while trying to enjoy the sitting areas and the pool. The only place to escape their constant smoking was on the highest level of the roof. If you are a smoking guest then you will feel right at home.

My stay at Riad Dar Najat in Marrakech was absolutely fantastic! This charming riad is a hidden gem in the heart of the medina, offering an authentic Moroccan experience with unparalleled hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the service was second to none—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The staff went out of their way to ensure every detail was perfect, making us feel like family. The riad itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms, a serene courtyard, and a rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views of Marrakech. Every corner exudes charm and tranquility. Riad Dar Najat is a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and exceptional service. I can’t recommend it highly enough for an unforgettable stay in Marrakech!

The Riad was beautiful, set across different levels from the cool shady seating at the bottom with the level that we stayed on. Our room had a four poster bed with a tiled stone floor and Moroccan features. The ensuite bathroom was clean and spacious. We were unprepared for how cold it can be in Winter so we had a hot shower to warm up, put the heater on and added the spare blanket and duvet. In the morning we headed upstairs for breakfast. This level housed the tiled pool, potted plants and mosaic tables. Stairs led up to a sundeck. We sat at our usual table to soak up the morning sun with our freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee. Breakfast was perfect - Moroccan breads and dips, pancakes, croissants, fruit salad - the variety changed each day. The staff were so happy and friendly, giving us tips on where to visit. We booked the taxi to and from the airport via the riad which saved on any unwanted stress on arrival in Marrakesh. The location was ideal making visiting sights walkable - usually wandering through the souks of the Medina and making the rowdy Jemaa el Fnaa our base point. There were plenty of rooftop restaurants and bars nearby for sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Marrakesh and will be recommending Dar Najat to everyone! Three nights, 4 whole day was good length of time including a day trip to The Atlas Mountains and the stunning Jardin Majorelle.

We liked everything

I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Riad. In no particular order, the aircon was very quiet (recently replaced I believe); the room was cleaned daily and thoughtfully, with the rest of the property demonstrating a similar cleanliness; the breakfast was varied and extensive; I felt well supported by Ollie and his team; the plunge pool was larger than I expect and well maintained; 3 sun loungers on the upper level seemed sufficient. The Riad was located centrally giving easy access to sites - 45 mins walk to Jardin Marjorelle was the longest I did (must pre book). At no time did I feel threatened or out of my comfort zone.

Being English, I like my "sundowner" - however the authorities in the city are clamping down on the sale of alcohol - something to do with licensing but not sure. So it was actually quite hard to find a restaurant that allowed alcohol to be served on the upper/outside terrace inside the Medina. I understand from others that this is not the case in the modern hotels outside the Medina walls. But that said, the mint tea Ollie served was excellent and a great digestive.

Beautiful riad with a fantastic staff, all of them really go out of their way to help. Best example is the hammam that Achmed pointed out, very local and not existing on google maps, but exactly what we were looking for. Nice extra is the minimarket right across the front door that seems to be always open and seems to sell everything from batteries to water to snacks to soap. Another nice extra: the wifinetwork of Dar Najat has a printer that you can use and that is on a table in the open area, so printing our boarding passes (which is mandatory at Marrakech airport) was never easier. Breakfast was awesome.

The safe in our room could be opened with a screwdriver and was standing loose, so could be taken away as a whole. Useless.

This Riad was the best thing about our stay! Essam and the rest of the staff were soo lovely and always went over and above. From answering any questions via booking.com to helping us with getting around in Marrakesh. The breakfast was such a lovely experience, the Riad was beautiful and the room was cute. I messaged to ask if we could leave our luggage there as we were arriving well before check in, they replied no problem bring your luggage, have breakfast and we will get you your room as soon as we can. Such amazing service! Essam was an absolute star! Such a kind and funny man. I cannot recommend this Riad enough. It’s a good central point to everywhere you want to visit.

The bed was a little hard for my back but that’s just preference. Everything was perfect!

All of staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was always a lot, we were well fed all the time. The instructions given by host was useful, everyday room cleaning service was spotless. The location was perfect, in the middle of the old town, easy to access the big square. Wifi was available and good reception. It was good value to stay, I would definitely come back and stay in here again in the future. Thank you for making my family comfortable during stay.

The room was a bit cold and damp, as there was no sun coming in the room, however, I can imagine that it would be similar in other accommodations, because of the house structure in Marrakech, high buildings, no windows from outside in the each room. While you are staying in Dar Najat, you can always go upstairs, there are open areas to sit and chill, sunbathing, also extra blankets in the room were enough, so it wasn't a problem at all.

We had the most wonderful stay at this riad, and it was truly made special by the incredible staff. Hajiba is a gem—her care and attention to detail are unmatched. She kept our room spotless and added such thoughtful, artistic touches that made coming back to the riad a joy every day. Her breakfasts were simply outstanding, a perfect start to our mornings with fresh, delicious dishes made with love. Aissam was equally amazing—always kind, cheerful, and full of great recommendations. He served breakfast with such warmth and charm and made us feel so welcome. His tips for exploring the area were spot on and added so much to our trip. The riad itself is nice and quiet, but it’s really the people like Hajiba and Aissam who make it a truly unforgettable experience. We can’t recommend it enough and would return in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic single night at Riad Dar Najat and wished we could have stayed longer! All of the hosts were very warm, friendly and helpful with landmark attractions and food recommendations. The riad was in a very central location, yet was quiet during the evening for a good rest. The Riad itself had a beautiful courtyard in the middle with fantastic architecture and was beautifully furnished. The room was cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast selection in the morning and also the friendly exchanges between the hosts. Would recommend to future guest to stay.

Nothing :)

If you’re looking for a truly warm and welcoming experience in Marrakesh, Riad Dar Najat is the perfect place to stay. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted not just as a guest, but as part of the family. The staff’s friendliness and hospitality are simply unmatched, making you feel at home in an instant. The owner, Olivier, and his incredible team go above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a memorable stay. Whether it’s offering insightful local tips, arranging excursions, or simply sharing a warm conversation over Moroccan mint tea, their kindness and attentiveness make all the difference. The riad itself is a beautifully restored gem, with charming décor, comfortable rooms, and a stunning rooftop terrace where you can unwind after a day exploring the medina. Breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared, and the atmosphere is peaceful despite being just a short walk from the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel truly valued and cared for, Riad Dar Najat is an absolute must. The warmth of the staff, combined with the beauty of the riad, makes for an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended!

All good
