Dar Najat is a beautiful cosy riad located in the heart of the medina in Marrakech, just 5 minutes' walk from the famous square, Jema El Fna, which makes it an ideal place to stay! The owner and his team are clearly dedicated to making their guests feel at ease and create an environment full of fun but also very relaxing.

The rooms are clean (I stayed there a few times and have never been disappointed), comfortable and quiet, ideal after a busy day in the souks! Olivier is available most of the day to give you tips and organise a guided tour of Marrakech if you would like one. I also loved the fact that there is an outdoor jacuzzi on the terrace where you can enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a mint tea (the berber whisky! Yummmmy!). Breakfast is delicious and served by the smiley and friendly staff who are always there to help and make sure you get the best!

Forgot to mention dinner is also available on request and Souad, the chef, is a gem in terms of cooking! I definitely recommend the riad for any kind of travellers - young, older, married or single you will just have an unforgettable experience at Dar Najat. Thank you again, I'm coming back soon and with friends this time!

Riad Alma is a great Riad situated away from the hustle of the main medina of Marrakesh. The Riad is at the end of a quiet alley in the Kasbah or fortified area of the old town. It has been recently refurbished and is built around two courtyards. Michelline who runs the Riad does a commendable job in ensuring the pleasure of the guests.

The charming Riad de l’Orangeraie is located in the Mouassine district of the old Médina. This beautiful house has two courtyards – one with fountains, flowers and trees (Côté Jardin); the other with a small blue mosaic swimming pool and hamman (Côté Oasis).

Around these patios are seven bedrooms, each decorated in warm earth tones and a modern, minimalist style. There are three suites and four standard rooms named after spices. (Paprika, Muscade and Coraindre for the suites; Safran, Gingembre, Cannelle and Curcuma for the standard rooms.) The bathrooms are immaculate: all clean, smooth surfaces and the facilities in perfect working order.

One of the most stunning features of the riad is its roof top terrace, with views over the Medina that stretch as far as the Atlas Mountains. A great place to sip one’s mint tea! The terrace has lots of hidden corners for a discreet spot of sunbathing or to take a romantic meal prepared on demand and to your taste.

Riad staff are attentive, friendly and discreet, playing no small part in creating a familial and relaxed atmosphere.

Well-located for further excursions into the city – which the concierge will happily organise – the riad is only 5 minutes from the main square Djema El Fna.

To stay at the Riad El Cadi is to stay at one of the finest Riads in Marrakech. The interior, with its abundant artwork, is totally astounding. The food, service and ambience make this probably the most enjoyable place I have stayed in the world over.

Lounge around, long after your breakfast is served on your rooftop terrace, sheltering from the sun under your canopy. Sneak out now and again to catch some rays and savour the moment. Come lunchtime, stretch and slowly make your way to the main courtyard and lounge once again in one of the decorated alcoves, while sipping beer and awaiting your freshly made meal.

As evening dawns, slowly make your way to your upstairs, pick up your clothes that you left dirty in the room last night, and wonder if you wore them at all, since they're clean once more. Get dressed, and prepare to be dazzled in Jemaa El Fna, which is just a stones throw away.
