Charming Riad 'Dar Jawd' 3 exclusive rooms, breakfasts included.

Perfect location and lovely traditional Riad. Bashir was beyond helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Overall phenomenal experience

The property is superb, luxurious, spacious, private, and in the heart of the Medina. It was booked for our group of adult and three teenage children. Each room was comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and the and felt private and secure at all times. Bachir, a wonderful host, helped us with advice on many things and brought a delicious breakfast each day to get us ready for Marrakech. Huge thanks to him, a truly kind man. Overall , the break met and exceeded our expectations and we had a superb start to the holiday ?and genamongst men

The riad was perfect for our group of friends. The a/c kept bedrooms and salon cool during very hot (110+ F) days and nights. Riad very close to some outstanding restaurants and pleasant souks. Bechir was very attentive to our needs and all went smoothly.

Fabulous stay right on the edge of the medina so experienced the culture of Morocco first hand. Bachir was on hand every morning to provide breakfast and advice. Abdou took us to Ourika valley and camel rides in Palmeria. Overall I cannot fault this stay - highly recommended and thank-you from me and my family. We loved it and particular thanks to Bachir and Abdou

Well it was the best choice we could have possibly done. Very central located, yet no noice or through traffic. Walking distance to anywhere. The place is clean, well organized and well equipped including AC wich you want in Marrakesh. Very charming design. You feel home in minutes. We stayed with 5 and it was very comfortable with 3 sleeping rooms all with their own bathroom. The transport from the airport and back to the airport with 5 people and 7 pieces suitcases was handled smooth and professional by the Abdel - a great guy to work with. The house manager Bachir is very professional, charming and helpful. All smooth and comfortable. Next time in Marrakesh? Same please of course. Best regards from Norbert and family USA

We visited this riad during covid times and loved that it was a small riad which allowed us to make it a private rental for the entire unit. Every evening I contacted the owner with any questions I had and they were always available to answer. The property uses a driver who was always available via WhatsApp and provided driving locally at affordable prices without the need of looking for a cab. The cook made a delicious breakfast. She does not speak English but that was easily resolved with our limited French and google translate. The cook is also available for dinners for an additional fee. This was very helpful as restaurants would close at 8pm during the covid curfew. There is a pool at the property but it is a soaking pool. The location is walking distance from the marketplace. Be careful of locals that may come over to you inviting you to come see the market of colors or the market of spices. They take you simply to one of the little shops who charge the highest prices in the market even after you bargain. The dar bacha cafe is located at the entrance to the community as well as some government office with lots of military and police. We never needed assistance from police but if we had they would’ve been less than a two minute walk from the riad. The dar Bacha café is also a great landmark to offer tour guides who may be meeting you for any excursions. There is a laundry washer on property but like most European properties clothes is hung to dry. There is a stove top but no oven. This allows you to still make many meals but plan your grocery shopping knowing that you cannot bake any items. There is a lovely terrace on the roof. During warm months you can sunbathe up there on the chaise loungers or you can have a meal up there any time of year. I loved the privacy, safety, and conveniences of this property and would visit again in the future. We stayed there as a family with 15, 17, and 20 year old children and found that there was more than enough room throughout the property for all of us.

We have just returned from an amazing stay at Riad 'Dar Jawd'. It is a beautifully appointed property and very comfortable. The pictures show the quality of the finish, but it is far more spacious than it appears. However lovely the accommodation, it is the people who contribute so much to the enjoyment of a holiday. Hasan, the housekeeper, gave us such a warm welcome with Moroccan mint tea and pastries when we arrived very late in the evening. He had prepared a traditional tagine with accompaniments as we had requested a meal due to the hour of our arrival, and he provided a delicious fresh breakfast for us each morning with Moroccan specialities. Hasan was charming, helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. Mohamed drove us from the airport, arranging for our baggage to be taken via trolley to the door of the Riad as no cars can enter the narrow streets in the immediate area. He is a delightful person and incredibly helpful. On our last day he took us on an incredible trip up to the Atlas Mountains, organising a Berber guide called Abdel who led us on a trek up to the waterfalls and then took us to have a traditional couscous lunch at his family home in a small village on the mountain-side. This was a very special experience, at a very reasonable price. Other highlights of our trip included walking for miles through the narrow streets of the Medina soaking up the atmosphere of the souks and the Kasbah, visiting the Place Jemaa el-Fnaa at night, walking through the cool and colourful Majorelle Garden, and experiencing a Moroccan hammam. We also treated ourselves to early evening cocktails at the splendid La Mamounia hotel, with its sumptuous interior and beautiful gardens. Marrakech is an exciting and vibrant city with much to offer, the people are friendly and helpful, and it feels very safe (if you manage to avoid getting hit by one of the many mopeds that zip through the souks at quite a pace!). Riad ‘Dar Jawd’ is the perfect base – a huge thank you to JacquesPierre and Valerie.

A surprisingly nice riad in the medina of Marrakesh. This riad is tucked away in a small backstreet and the entrance door is very low. But when you enter the property a very nice, spacious and quite home is awaiting for you. All the things you need are very close to the riad at walking distance. We arrived in the evening and Saida prepared a tasteful dinner for us as we requested before. Communication with the owners is perfect and they are very responsive, a small issue we had was quickly resolved. One small side comment, don't expect the levels of cleanliness as you might expect at home, but this not concerning. We had a very pleasant stay in Marrakesh however be aware that if you walk down the medina that scooters are driving fast and very close to you in what should be actually a walking area.

The Riad was everything we hoped for. The location was fantastic. Saida, our housekeeper, was wonderful. An overall great experience!
