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.

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.

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.

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

We loved the tailored service Adil was able to provide and we felt very looked after by him! We particularly appreciated him working over Eid! We had dinner one night which was probably the best veggie tagine we had in Marrakech. The breakfast was also lovely with I think a more varied spread than other places offer. The almond butter was amazing! The rooms were clean, comfortable and stylish. We liked chilling on the roof terrace in the morning and evening. All the staff were lovely and gave fantastic recommendations on where to eat and visit.

We booked this riad because we read it catered well for vegans - there was a tofu scramble on the website that wasn’t offered in practice which was disappointing. The bread was also different to the pictures on the website - the traditional flatbread would have been nicer.

The riad is in a great location in the Medina, with a beautiful relaxing terrace and other nice indoor seating areas. It’s a bit challenging to find (like everything!), but Hassan gave us a thorough explanation of how to get around using landmarks and the maps.me app. The bed was comfortable, and since there are only 4 rooms it was really pretty quiet. It’s a nice break from the craziness of the city! A nice touch was the free filtered water - the plastic bottles really start to pile up otherwise. We loved all the suggestions of things to do and places to eat!

Breakfast and location were fantastic. Staff are absolutely amazing, definitely the best part of the stay. Hassan and Hamza helped us out so much, unbelievable how lovely they are. We already miss them!

Wish the riad were a bit bigger! Also, Marrakesh needs to do something about the pollution.
