Reviews of Riad Zehar & Spa Marrakech

Really enjoyed our stay here. The hosts are so lovely and took care of us and all our needs. Breakfast was wonderful, fresh pancakes, bread, fruit, yoghurt, omelettes and delicious fresh juice and mint tea. They were happy to serve us breakfast early when we had excursions planned and were really helpful organising everything for us. The rooms are clean and comfy and its lovely to have the authentic morocco experience.

Nothing it was all excellent

Unfortunately we cannot rate Riad Zehar. When we arrived we were escorted, after much confusion, to Riad Rêves D'orient instead. We were told there was a problem with Riad Zehar which meant we couldn't stay there. I was disappointed but we were offered an upgrade and the room was lovely. The bed was the most luxurious we slept on during our time in Morocco - it was bliss! Breakfast on the terrace was lovely and all the staff were great. Location was also perfect.

There was no prior communication to warn us about the change of accommodation so arrival was quite stressful.

From the first moment to the last Abdo and his team Adnan and Ali just anticipated everything. Checking in felt like a meeting with my private banker, hot tea, debrief on the area, sites, restaurants, thorough but not intrusive, Abdo essentially gives a terrific sit rep for a new guest landing in Marrakech for the first time. But it just kept, the free tea anytime, working on the roof terrace in the breeze, cold AC in my room, a clean bright bathroom and clean sheets and towels. It was far more than I expected and it was perfect. It isn’t the Ritz it’s far better and authentic. I didn’t need or want a 7 star hotel I wanted to feel like I lived in Marrakech like a local for a week but with just the right level of training wheels a Cdn would appreciate. I’m coming back with my wife and kids and we’re staying here it was just great in so many ways.

Walking down the alley on my first night back tot he room felt a bit uneasy until I quickly realized every town looks out for each other in this Moroccan cul Ul de sac

Great Property, Great Value

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this riad in the heart of Marrakech’s old medina. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with incredible kindness by the staff, who were always smiling and attentive. A very special thank you to Ismael, Adnane, and Fatiha, who truly made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was far beyond our expectations: rich, generous, and a perfect mix of traditional Moroccan flavors and international options. What we loved the most was that it could be served at any time of the morning, a real luxury for newlyweds on their honeymoon. Unlimited tea and coffee were available at all times, making us feel right at home. The terrace was a peaceful retreat with a breathtaking view over the Marrakech Secret Garden , without the need to queue or buy tickets. The room, decorated with a beautiful touch of Moroccan tradition, was simply perfect for couples, romantic and cozy. We also appreciated the safety of the neighborhood (the riad’s streets are monitored by cameras) and the friendliness of the neighbors. The location is ideal, right in the heart of the medina, with many landmarks and places to visit just a short walk away. On top of that, the riad is connected to a traditional hammam with massages and a lot of other options, which made the whole experience even more complete and relaxing. In short, we truly felt at home in this riad. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, romantic, and serene stay in Marrakech.

Nothing to report

The Riad was very clean and nice plus the breakfast very delicious and the best about it was the staff they were kind and helpful and their service was very good Ismail and Abedfatah I want to say thank you for them for helping us I would recommend if people would want to eat homemade traditional foods to come here

The owner was super friendly and helpful. On arrival he met us on the street and confirmed our booking names so we knew he was legit. He then served Morrocon tea and cake by the mini pool. He then spent 30 minutes making on our google map all the places we might want to visit, explained about the fixed price market and how to get there - to give us an idea of prices before barterring in the market. Our room was right next to the pool and the accommodation was a traditional Riad with central couryyard, shutters and roof top terrace. Breakfast included was amazing - ommlette offered plus fresh fruit, cakes, ample amounts of bread with jam, honey etc. They couldn't have gone more out their way to be helpful and friendly. The location was as central as you could get, one minute from the myriad of lanes in the central market. We had a 9pm flight on departure but he let us leave our bags, sit around and return late where we were still offered a pot of Moroccon tea. Fab all around!

Nothing.

Super Breakfast

If you are hesitating to take this Riad, don’t The staff is so welcoming, the free breakfast is delicious, it is located near Jemaa el fnaa and so many interesting shops Honorable mention to Ibrahim, Abdel and Adnan who were incredibly accommodating and kind to us❤️ We will come back for sure

nothing, it was perfect

We really liked our stay and we were sad it was only for one night, because the people there were very nice and kind, they helped us with everything we needed and we could ask about anything. They also kindly printed our boarding passes, which helped us plenty. The accommodation was really nice and offered an unforgettable Marrocan experience, featuring a Marrocan style of housing (however, the bathroom was the European one with flushing toilets). Everything was nice and clean. Also, the accommodation offered a jacuzzi for free as well as breakfasts, and they also offered a gluten-free version, which we appreciated very much. Without a heartbeat, I would definitely book this accommodation again.

I definitely wouldn't say I didn't like this, but it was a bit hard to find the accommodation since it's in the big market. Also, the alleys and streets give of a Blair Witch vibe (similarly to Venice in Italy), so be careful about the navigation and try to remember where you're supposed to go. However, the staff was very helpful in this regard, so do not worry, the accommodation is definitely worth the search for it. So if you like travelling and exploring (as well as a great place to stay in) definitely book this one.

The room was gorgeous. The four post amazigh style bed was decadent and amazing! The riad was close to everything, food herbs and spices and friends. The spa was amazing. I had a 3 hr Hammam and massage. I literally cried after the Hammam. I felt loved and cared for in a way I have never felt in a spa.

Our stay at Riad Princesse du Désert in Marrakech was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in warmth and luxury, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Abdel, Adna, and Elias. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made our experience truly special—they went above and beyond to ensure every need was met with a smile. The riad itself is a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, featuring intricate details, peaceful courtyards, and a beautiful pool that offered the perfect oasis from the vibrant Medina. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean, blending comfort with authentic Moroccan charm. Each morning started with a delicious traditional Moroccan breakfast—fresh pastries, seasonal fruits, homemade jams, and mint tea—served with such warmth that it felt like sharing a meal with family. What truly sets this riad apart is the exceptional service. Abdel, Adna, and Elias made us feel not just welcome, but truly cherished. Their friendliness, dedication, and thoughtful gestures transformed our stay into something unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Riad Princesse du Désert to anyone looking for a magical experience in Marrakech. It's a hidden gem where luxury meets heartfelt hospitality.

There is nothing to dislike about it.

We booked for Riad Zehar, but were moved to Riad reves d’Orient due to some building works. The two young men were at the d’Orient were extremely helpful and nice. The room was fabulous and exceptional value for money. The breakfast was very good and it was a great relaxed atmosphere.

Everything was good

The Riad is beautiful, the manager and the staff are great person.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Our stay in this riad was amazing! It is located very central, just about 2 minutes walking distance from the souks. The staff was incredible, we were welcomed with tea, homemade cookies and a big smile. We were even upgraded to a bigger room since there were constructions right next to our originally booked room. The rooms themselves are very clean and beautiful. The breakfast was great; tasty and very varied. We also had a great time in the jacuzzi :D I’d honestly say it was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I’d definitely repeat and I fully recommend it. Thank you!!

The breakfast

The staff was so nice and helpful. We were treated like queens. The room was big, very beautiful and we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious and the location is right at the center of the Medina, which is great for shopping and hanging out in jemaa el fna. If you choose this ryad you won't regret it. I highly recommend.

The staff were very friendly, they greeted us with tea and biscuits. Breakfast was good and filling. The internet was quick enough for streaming a show. The location was good as it was only a short walk to the restaurants, main attractions, and cafes but far enough away that it was quiet
