thanks for lovely post and be sure we'll be greatly happy to receve you an other time in dar najat with lot'sz of plesure!sincerly yours,oliver&souad&browny

I have just come back from Marrakech where my boyfrend and I stayed at Riad dar Najat which was great. An authentic house with three floors and a fabulous roof terrace. Our bedroom was decorated with local artwork. It took us a few days to take everything in - a delight to anyone who has an interest in other cultures. The roof terrace was a perfect place to relax in the morning sun while having breakfast or pre-dinner drinks (the rose is the best ) while listening to cool jazz or Buddah Bar type music. Moo Moo (Mustafa) was always there when we needed anything and Siad the local celebrity who has recently worked alongside Tom Hanks is also a bit of eye candy for the ladies. We had a fabulous time in Marrakech, certainly helped by choosing this fab riad.
My only other suggestion would be, is to take some warm clothes as it is very cold at night once the sun has gone down.

My partner Nikki & I stayed four nights in late November. We had a great break, enjoyed the chaos of Marrakech immensly and more so thanks to Olivier and his team at Riad Dar Najat. If you book make sure you take up the offer of the transfer from the airport - while its only five minutes from the main market square you wouldn't want to find it on your own: with a taxi you'll arrive, as we did, exhillarated from the taxi ride and happy to find the sanctuary.

The Riad is traditional Moroccan in style, friendly and very relaxing. Waking up in Marrakech hearing the bird song is lovely. After getting up you go to the roof terrace for the inclusive breakfast, served by the resident local staff who are always pleased to help.

We found a real plus-point to be one of th services offered by the staff - they will walk you to the restaurant/hammam and make sure you dont get lost and even give you their number if you get lost on your way back. It really is only five or six minutes walk to the centre of everything and the souks.

Lastly, the Riad's most valuable asset is its owner, Olivier, he made our stay so much better than those of people staying in perhaps 'more expensive' western hotels. He speaks very good English/French and made excellent recommendations for restaurants and hammams and activities. Nothing is too much trouble for him. In fact we did have a problem with a hammam we had foolishly sourced ourselves - he recommended the action we should take , made many phone calls and in the end we had an apology from the hammam and a full refund with some compensation.

We were quite surprised by how cold Marrakech was in the evenings - coats were needed and our room had a radiator that worked. The only thing stopping me giving the Riad and 'excellent' report was the bed, it was a bit hard for our liking. It wouldn't stop me booking again!

It youre looking for a good place to stay in Marrakech - this Riad is the one!
