This was a traditional Riad located in the Medina. From the minute we arrived we were welcomed into the house with Mint Tea served by Said. What a lovely touch this was. The location was an easy 20 minute walk from the Main Square Jemaa el-Fnaa. The walk took us through a number of neighbourhoods so we were getting to see people as they lived on a daily basis rather than just seeing the main tourist attractions. The Riad itself was traditional, just 5 rooms, a lovely terrace and a roof terrace. The breakfast had traditional breads, fruit, yogurt and a little treat that changed everyday and was served on the terrace. It was a lovely start to each day. What really made this Riad was the staff, just a small team of 4 people who greeted us every morning and evening, always checking how our trip was going and offering advice and guidance. The welcome and friendliness went way beyond what you would get in a corporate hotel. If you want to experience Marrakesh from the Medina, Riad Dar Nadwa is a great choice.

First time in Morocco, Said was exceptional in making us feel welcome, truly accommodating all our needs, and going out of his way to make our experience the best it can be. We went to Fez for a few days after this, and Said arranged our tour guide in Fez who was the best. He didn't have to, but he called 8 people to find a good guide. Overall in this trip we have stayed in 3 Riads, and this was the best one, mainly due to the hospitality and friendliness of Said and the staff. My kids still remember Said. Lachen, the owner, is a true gentleman. In all my different Riad stays, Lachen's way of handling the costs for evening meals, excursions, taxis, etc that he managed was the most professional. He found the most value for money, and handled all money conversations with the customer in mind, and settled the bill at the end of the stay with care and professionalism. It's clear that he is a truly leading by example.

There is always something that can be improved. But they have figured out the trick that if you have exceptional and friendly service, all things not to perfect standard can be overlooked. And this is my experience here.

A quiet and cosy traditional oasis, run by the most attentive, respectful, and friendly staff. Our experience at the riad was magnificent, and we can't wait to come back. Although we arrived very late at the riad due to a flight delay, we were greeted by a warm welcome and the most delicious beef tajine. The riad is traditional, stylish, and full of authentic and impressive Berber details. The room was very cosy, with a comfortable bed and a window opening to the central courtyard. A delicious breakfast served in a quiet courtyard while listening to the birds chirping and looking at the wonderful plants was a priceless experience. During our stay in Morocco, we changed 4 accommodations and met great local people, but such wonderful, attentive, and friendly staff we haven't found anywhere. All of them - owner Lahcen, our star Said and whole team, were really amazing - l can't find proper words to describe so warm hospitality. Thank you for everything. I hope we will be back soon.

Riad Dar Nadwa offers great value for money, making it an excellent choice for travelers. The Moroccan breakfast is delicious and satisfying, adding an authentic touch to the stay. The room is spacious enough for two people, and the bathroom is clean and well-maintained and has air-con. The staff is fantastic, not only cleaning our room daily but also being warm. Omar, Zaid, the ladies (sorry we forgot the name) and Lahcen are welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. Additionally, they helped us arrange a taxi to and from the airport, making transportation hassle-free.

Saeed and Omar were friendly and attentive. Although we managed to get lost initially once we got orientated the location is good for exploring the old town. We were well looked after and it was a delight to have breakfast in the courtyard. The terrace was good place to relax.

Hardly the fault of the riad that the call to prayer from a nearby mosque was very loud early in the morning! The same could be said about the ubiquitous motorbikes and the pervasive smell of petrol fumes! We got very good advice about what to avoid but still got stung a couple of times.

The riad was extremely nice and comfy. The staff was extremely helpful and kind to us. We surely advise to eat at least one dinner at the riad, the lemon chicken tajine was delicious. The room was spacious and clean, with beautiful furnishing. The riad is in the northern part of the Medina but only 10-15 mins walk to the market and 20-25 mins to the main square. Being inside the Medina it means that sometimes the air can smell a bit but the staff always had essence burners to fight it with a wonderful orange flowers parfume.

We loved our stay in Riad Da Nadwa, its located within walking distance to everything you'd need, our room was lovely and spacious and cleaned every day, we especially loved the tasty Moroccan breakfast every morning. Although, it's the staff that really made this stay 5 star! Everyone was warm and welcoming, extremely helpful and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. They also arranged our transport to and from the airport! We will definitely be returning to this Riad on our next trip to Marrakech :)

Service quality, staff and price/performance. Faruq was very helpful and friendly. The owner of riad gave us small tutorial about city with map :) it was quite helpful!

The Riad was placed very centrally for the entire mid city. In 15 minutes the Souk is reached and everything is in walking distance. I was especially keen on the way a Riad works. It is a very comfortable and welcoming way of staying. Huge thank you to Said for being forthcoming and inclusive for visitors that ‘knew nothing’. If going to Marrakech this is the way to stay. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Riad Dar Nadwa and I would not hesitate to come back.

There was nothing not to like!

We enjoyed pretty much everything, from the Riad to the cleanliness of the place, the breakfast, the peace after a long day of walking and exploring the magnificent city of Marrakesh; but most importantly we have to thank Abdo for his hospitality, kindness and the support he gave us during our journey, he made sure that nothing was missing, gave me medicine when I got sick, brought me a chicken sandwich cause I couldn’t move from my bed, and the amount of life lessons that he thought us combined with a lot of passion and wisdom. Thank you! We’ll definitely come back soon.

The only things that we didn’t like are based on personal preferences… like the mattress that was a little bit hard and we had a little problem with the shower cause there was mainly hot water coming out and the pressure was also too weak.
