We had a fantastic stay at Riad Azzar and the best service we have experienced in years of travelling. Ayoub met us from our airport transfer and helped us navigate the chaos of the Medina to the riad. It is situated off a main route so whilst it's calm and quiet inside you only have a few minutes walk to all of the main sites, restaurants and Djemma el-Fnaa. We were greeted with tea and Moroccan biscuits and sat in the lovely courtyard enjoying the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our room was large and tastefully decorated, we enjoyed the private terrace and everything was spotlessly clean. We appreciated the fresh fruit, flowers and water. Dinner on the first night was delicious and plentiful, you are able to order wine, beer and other refreshments whenever you like. Breakfast was different each day and freshly cooked, also extremely generous in size so you can skip lunch! The plunge pool was a refreshing haven after long, hot days in the Medina. The riad is very centrally located so it's convenient to pop back to if you need to drop off souk purchases or have a mid day plunge to cool off. What made the stay really special for us was the team at Azzar, genuinely friendly and always willing to accomodate our requests. Hicham and Ayoub are caring, professional and work really hard to make sure that their guests have an exceptional experience. We can't wait to return!

Everything was perfect.

Riad Azzar is a quiet riad located about 7 minutes from the main square of Jemaa el Fna. We booked the room with the balcony. The bed was comfortable and we had fresh fruit and water on arrival. There was a small pool on the ground floor where we dipped our feet in. Breakfast was continental with jams and spreads. The ladies cooked something different each day for the main part of breakfast. The staff here were lovely and friendly and helpful. The main two men - Hachim and Ayoub were great to deal with. Don't hesitate to book this place. The location is in a great spot and it gave us a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the Medina.

Nothing

We had the most wonderful experience at Riad Azzar! The location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of Marrakech yet easy to navigate, because the staff were there to meet us from where our taxi dropped us off. It was such a peaceful oasis to come back to after exploring the vibrant medina. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, always there when we needed anything. One of the highlights was how they went out of their way to prepare an early takeaway breakfast for our train journey to Tangier — such a thoughtful touch that we truly appreciated. On top of that, they kindly offered to store our large suitcase so we could travel light with just hand luggage for a few days. That made such a difference! Breakfast at the riad was superb every morning — fresh, delicious, and beautifully served in a serene setting. It was the perfect start to each day. We loved our stay so much that we’re actually coming back in just five days! Thank you to everyone at Riad Azzar for making us feel so welcome — the fantastic location was just the icing on the cake.

Great, quiet little Riad with breakfast included. The room was small but it was what we needed for our budget in an ideal location in the Medina of Marrakesh. As we were in a central location, we were in walking distance to the majority of tourist sites! The staff were very accommodating and were quick to assist us from fixing our bedroom light and ensuring we got to our airport taxi correctly by walking with us. While the Riad was a bit tricky to find as taxis can't directly drive into the area, you will have to walk around to find the Riad (so having data for Google Maps is a must). We had a minor incident with a local who helped us find our Riad but refused to leave us alone unless we paid 50DH (we only had 20DH change) but the staff were incredibly wonderful in making sure we were safe and checked in on us afterwards.

We noticed that there was a card machine and had assumed we could pay by card for our airport shuttle but it wasn't clear about the minimum amount to spend (even though we were happy to pre-pay for two different airport shuttle / taxis which were around 60 Euros), which meant we had to spend some time looking for a ATM in the Medina (located by the post office). It also wasn't 100% clear on the timings for lunch and dinner options as it was on the menus so we didn't get a chance to try them. I think clearer communications on what the minimum spend and lunch/dinner timings would be improve our stay.

A true oasis of calm in the middle of the medina madness! When you walk through the door, the noise levels drop entirely and Asma has managed to create a beautiful peaceful courtyard that you just have to spend time in. The staff are amazing, nothing was too much trouble - Hicham and Ayoub did a great job. The comms with Asma were great via What’s App too. And as for breakfast….just wow! Beautifully presented, different every day and served on the gorgeous roof terrace - an absolute treat to start your day and fuel you for whatever you have planned. We will be recommending Riad Azzar to anyone who’ll listen 🤩

Nothing, it really was wonderful (though if you had mobility issues, you may find the staircases a little difficult). The prices in the Riad are in Euros (the only place we found doing that in Marrakech). We tried to exchange some dirhams to euros in the main square but kept being told it was only possible at the airport, so make sure you take plenty with you (though the Riad will accept other currencies, at their own exchange rate).

We loved the staff- they were so friendly, warm and accommodating, would defiantly recommend this to friends or family. The location was very good, safe and close to the main square. The manager and the kitchen staff were super nice and made us feel at home!

The Riad was “based on trust” so there are no locks on the room when you go out (you can lock from inside at night which was good). As two female travellers we would’ve preferred to lock our room when we went out.

Located in the heart of the Medina, near the main square, the Riad Azzar is a little oasis. Quiet, with the sound of bird song, is the perfect place to return to after dealing with all the huddle and bustle of Marrakesh. The staff cannot be faulted, friendly and attentive, who go out of their way to assist guests with anything they need, Isham was particularly helpful :) A fantastic breakfast is provided which is the perfect way to start your day. Asma was extremely helpful in arranging taxi transfers from the airport as well as booking us a souk guide, Omar, who was excellent and well worth doing. She also arranged for our boarding passes to be printed as you cannot use your phone at the airport - 5 stars!

No bottled water in the room (it’s easy to buy locally but would have been handy to have)

Staying here exceeded our expectations. The rooms and property were comfortable and beautifully decorated. Everyone that worked there was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was beautifully presented and delicious, a perfect place to start the day. The pool was fun to take a dip in. The location made it easy to walk and shop and also rest during the day. It was wonderful to have air conditioning, and it was very sweet and helpful to have the owner personally help with booking our travel to and from the airport. It was also very helpful to have the staff personally escort us to and from the airport rides. It was a wonderful trip.

One thing to be aware of: it's a long walk from the place a car drops you off or picks you up, to the hotel. It's fine if you are young and able, however this was a little tough on my mom, so we hired a tuktuk a few times or she would stop and rest and then continue on.

Lovely Riad with friendly staff. An oasis of calm but in the middle of the medina, among the souks. easy to pop in and out when you want a break from the city. Nice plunge pool in central courtyard and design is simple and not overstated. breakfast is traditional Moroccan food plus yoghurt and a pastry. Very nice. Staff friendly and helpful.

You have to go down a dark, covered back alley to get there. First time felt a bit sketchy, but after being there a bit realised this is pretty standard for a riad in the medina and the young men hanging around on motorbikes were actually very friendly and polite.

All of our arrangements made with Asma worked out perfectly in terms of collection and transfer from the airport. We wanted to experience a traditional Riad in the centre of the Medina and Riad Azzar was the perfect choice for us. The staff at the Riad are absolutely fantastic and nothing was ever a problem for them especially Samir. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful on the lovely rooftop terrace. The Riad is a beautiful old building behind the most inconspicuous of traditional doors down a quiet alleyway. We felt very safe and comfortable here. We also used the services of their recommended local walking guide (Omar) who was a lovely and very knowledgeable gentleman indeed. It was well worth doing this in order to get your bearings in what can sometimes feel like a maze.

Nothing at all.
