Riad DAR HOME

Riad DAR HOME Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked down Derb Si Hassi looking for Riad DAR HOME, I thought my GPS had completely lost its mind. The street is this narrow little alley that winds through the Kasbah, and you’re basically following ancient walls until you spot number 6. But that’s actually part of what makes this place so special, you know? You’re literally staying in the old fortified part of Marrakech, which means you’re about a five-minute walk from the Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace – but without the tourist chaos that hits the main medina.

The riad itself has that perfect balance of traditional architecture and modern comfort that’s honestly hard to find at this price point. The central courtyard is gorgeous (as you’d expect), but what really got me was how quiet it stays even when the place is full. The thick walls do their job, and the staff – well, they actually seem to care about keeping the atmosphere peaceful. I mean, you’ll still hear the call to prayer from nearby mosques, but that’s part of the charm. The rooms are properly air-conditioned, which is crucial if you’re visiting in summer, and the beds are actually comfortable – not always a given in traditional riads. What surprised me most was the attention to detail in the bathrooms; they’ve managed to install proper showers without destroying the original tilework.

Here’s what you should know practically speaking: the taxi drivers sometimes get confused about the exact location, so have the phone number ready. The riad will send someone to meet you at the main road if needed, which is incredibly helpful when you’re dragging luggage. Check-in was smooth, and they gave me genuinely useful tips about which restaurants to try nearby (there’s this little place around the corner that serves incredible tagines – locals eat there, always a good sign). The rooftop terrace is where you’ll want to spend your evenings, honestly. You get these views over the Kasbah and the Atlas Mountains in the distance, and it’s not overrun with other guests like some of the bigger places. The breakfast is solid traditional Moroccan fare, though don’t expect elaborate buffets. One small thing – the WiFi works well in common areas but can be spotty in some rooms, so if you need to work, test it when you arrive. Overall, this feels like staying in someone’s beautifully restored family home rather than a commercial hotel, and for an 8.5 rating, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for in this part of Marrakech.

Reviews of Riad DAR HOME

• Very good – Eynard-machet from France – 11 June 2025 (8/10)

  Merci mille fois à Zoubida pour sa discrétion, gentillesse, ses conseils, sa disponibilité, ses bons et copieux petits déjeuners et le bon repas qu'elle nous a préparé. C'est une personne remarquable. Mais n'oublions pas Habib, notre excellent chauffeur qui nous a accompagnées durant tout le séjour, fait découvrir Marrakech, quelques cours d'histoire, toujours disponible, même en fin de soirée. Je recommande vivement ce chauffeur souriant qui nous a permis de passer un agréable séjour. Jackye
  
  What could be improved: Le jacuzzi non fonctionnel.

• Superb – Mairal from France – 1 April 2025 (9/10)

  Pour notre séjour à 6, nous avons aimé l'accueil souriant et chaleureux de Zoubida ainsi que ses super petits déjeuner. Le Riad est propre et bien situé par rapport aux différents sites à visiter. C'est un bon rapport qualité prix. On recommande.
  
  What could be improved: Le manque de pression au niveau de la douche. Un conseil, ne pas se doucher tous en même temps et là ça passe.

• Muito bom…. Recomendo – Ana from Portugal – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  A localização, a simpatia e facilidade de comunicação com a proprietária

• ESTANCIA ENCANTADORA – David from Spain – 26 August 2024 (10/10)

  Estancia maravillosa, espacio tal y como se describe y se muestra en las fotos. Destacar la amabilidad de la ama de llave Zoubida, persona encantadora y dispuesta a ayudarte. Destacar los servicios de comida que ella misma elabora, los considero imprescindibles de probar si te alojas aquí. También destacar el servicio de Hamman incluido, experiencia muy recomendable también. En resumen… para repetir sin duda.

• Bien, mais pas de vrai piscine ! – Badre from France – 1 August 2024 (7/10)

  Nous avons apprécié la proximité avec les lieux touristiques. Grand riad avec de tres belles chambres ! Les salles de bains dans chaque chambres vraiment magnifiques
  
  What could be improved: La piscine toute petite ! C'est d'ailleurs un jacuzzi et non une piscine… Et elle n'était pas propre du tout a notre arrivée. La dame de service est donc venu chaque jour pour des histoires de pompe pour la piscine..
  Pas mal de poussiere mais bon c'était propre tout de même.

• Very good – Helene from France – 31 May 2024 (8/10)

  Riad trés sympa, jolie déco et terrasse sur toit trés agréable. l'hôtesse est réactive et adorable.
  Il est bien placé (15mn à pied de la place jeema el fna)
  
  What could be improved: Pour accéder au Riad nous passons par des rues qui ont une odeur intense de poisson qui est assez désagréable (lié au marché quotidien)

• Exceptional – Laetita from France – 11 May 2024 (10/10)

  Zoubida à l écoute, d une grande gentillesse .elle nous a donné de précieux conseils
  Elle nous a préparé de délicieux petits déjeuners.
  Le hammam, un vrai plus appréciable
  Le quartier est très sympa avec beaucoup de restos et boutiques

• Exceptional – Taroumite from Italy – 30 April 2024 (10/10)

  Riad molto bello e curato. Buona la colazione che abbiamo prenotato a parte e la gentilezza della governante.
  
  What could be improved: Migliorabile il contatto con il riad. Con la colazione inclusa servizio Top.

• Great value for money and experience – ideal for a group of friends. – Leon from Gibraltar – 29 August 2023 (9/10)

  The Riad’s blend of modernity and authentic moroccan style. Very large and spacious riad – the photos posted do not do the house justice. The pool is bigger than it appears, as are all the rooms. The housekeeper was very helpful and a phone call away at all times. The location of the Riad is close to tourist attractions and is in a neighbourhood which adds to the experience.
  
  What could be improved: The bottom floor has no air conditioning, just fans. Considering we were in a neighbourhood, it would have felt more secure if there was a gate in the front door.

• Exceptional – Yitzchak from United States – 2 November 2022 (10/10)

  The host was very nice. The riad was beautiful and a nice blend of authentic Moroccan style and modern design. Great private pool and chamam.
