Everyone can see the beauty of this place through the pictures so my words about that would be redundant. But what can't be seen, until you get your own experience, is the amazing staff who makes this riad different from the others. The communication before my arrival was absolutely great, very smooth and very fast. During my stay, I had the chance to meet Hamza and Adil who were absolutely phenomenal! You feel with them like you met your friends from many years ago. And then, I tried the dinner made by Karima, what an unforgettable culinary experience! If you're looking for a place where you don't want to feel just like another guest, and if you appreciate deeper human connection, this is the place to stay.

The terrace room wasn't spacious and it was a bit challenging to move around there but you probably will spend most of your time outside exploring the mesmerizing Marrakech. Plus, riads are old traditional buildings so it's not that the rooms can be expanded easily.

The riad is really nice and everyone is pretty welcoming from our arrival until our departure. Since we were the only hosts, we got the terrace room, that allowed us to chill before our road trip to Merzouga. Riad Dar Zaman certainly raised the bar for our next accomodations. Breakfast had a lot of fresh and homemade things that I will for sure look for in the souks or try to find recipes for. Make sure to use the local app suggested by the host to get around and understand the closing times for the medina and you'll be fine walking around.

I only booked for one night. I would probably extend that on a next visit.

Absolutely loved our 3-night stay at Riad Dar Zaman in Marrakesh! From the moment we walked in, it felt like a little hidden oasis— beautifully decorated with that perfect blend of Moroccan charm and cozy comfort. The vibe is so peaceful, warm, and welcoming-truly like coming home after a long day exploring the medina. The staff? Simply the sweetest people ever. So helpful, kind, and always ready with a smile or some great local tips. We felt safe, cared for, and genuinely looked after the entire time. If you're heading to Marrakesh and want a place with soul, style, and the best hospitality -100% recommend Riad Dar Zaman. We'll be dreaming of coming back!

It was lovely. Very relaxing. We were away for my birthday. All the staff are very friendly. We were welcomed with drinks and advised of places to visit, eat etc which was really nice and gave us ideas of where to go. The hotel is beautifully decorated and full of Moroccan charm, rooms are comfy, breakfasts are delicious. We sat next to the open fire. There is a lovely roof top garden for lounging though we didn’t really use it as it is a little chilly in January. The location is great, tucked away but walkable to everywhere. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Riad Dar Zaman. The host/owner, Peter, was lovely and a great source of local knowledge. The staff, Hassan, Hamza and Adil, were fantastic. The property is in the perfect location, close to the old town markets but still in a quiet and secluded area. Was a little tricky to find on the first day. We would highly recommend using the airport transfer offered by the property. It’s slightly more expensive than a taxi but is well worth it to be brought directly to the riad. Accommodation was cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Food was delicious, especially breakfast. We stayed in the room on the terrace. It was quiet and very private. The shower was a generous size and, although the room was compact, it was well laid out and had everything we needed. I would recommend this property to anyone travelling to Marrakech.

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

This property is an oasis in the old city. The accommodation is comfortable and with a limited number of guest rooms it feels like your own private residence. The staff are exceptional! They are knowledgable, extremely helpful and go beyond expectations to make sure your stay is comfortable and assisting with the arranging of sightseeing excursions. The breakfast offers a fulsome choice of items, from freshly pressed orange juice, buttery avocado and a wonderful assortment of other items. The cooking class was informative, fun and delicious! The dinner menu items of fluffy couscous Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved lemons and the Lamb with Prunes were both sublime! The rooftop terrace provides an additional oasis within the Riad.

The Riad exceeded our expectations.

The staff with so helpful! Adil gave us such a warm welcome, and Hassane was so helpful with recommendations and directions - they really made our stay so enjoyable. The riad was very sweet and had a great roof terrace. We were only there for one night before we were heading on a trek, but I would have happily stayed for longer

Nothing. The water went off in the whole area, but this wasn’t a Riad dad zaman issue, it was all of the area, but the staff did everything they could to get it back on quickly.

having no idea what to expect from morocco or marrakech i can honestly say that myself and all of my companions loved every bit of our stay at riad dar zaman. every staff member was so kind and welcoming. we all want to come back and stay again. the beds and rooms were FANTASTIC (i want to buy the sheets) the breakfast alone is worth every penny but the dinners are insanely wonderful. all 4 of us in our group think the soup we were served was quite possibly the best we have ever eaten. again we were welcomed so warmly and made to feel like family, please look no further for your stay in marrakech.

Beautiful small Riad. The staff is exceptional and really catered to our needs. The food was excellent. Can’t say enough about Karima’s cooking and Hamza’s and Adil’s pampering and wealth of information. They made our first visit to Marrakech a much better experience. Also, there was a great group of guests at the Riad. We all became friends and ventured out together. Overall a great experience.

The only negative I would say is that it’s very tight sleeping quarters and a small bathrooms.

Everything was amazing! The welcome, the property, the room, the perfect location and the food! I cannot recommend this Riad highly enough. In particular the amazing staff who were as welcoming as they were efficient and friendly; and the food, if you can have dinner here at least once! The location right outside the Medina is fantastic too. If you are coming to Marrakech and want to stay in an authentic and amazing Riad, you cannot do better than Dar Zaman

Not a single bad word to say
