We stayed at Dar Seven for our final night in Morocco. We booked the Loggia Suite, paying a premium specifically for the in-room bath, which was a key reason for our reservation. Unfortunately, the hot water in our room did not work that evening, making the bath completely unusable.

To their credit, the on-site staff were courteous and made efforts to troubleshoot the issue for over 30 minutes. Late in the evening, we requested access to another room so we could shower, which they accommodated via a shower on the rooftop.

However, this did not address the fact that the primary amenity we paid extra for was unavailable.
After the stay, management acknowledged that a boiler malfunction caused the issue and offered a future stay incentive instead of a partial refund for the affected night. As we do not plan to return to Morocco for the foreseeable future, this did not resolve the matter. Despite multiple follow-ups requesting a reasonable partial refund, no resolution was provided.

Equipment issues can happen, but ensuring that paid accommodations and advertised amenities are functional is the responsibility of the property.
Paying full price for a room when its defining feature is unusable does not align with standard hospitality practices.

I recently stayed at this riad and overall had a pleasant experience. The property is quiet, peaceful, and in a very walkable location, making it extremely convenient for exploring the Medina. It felt like a calm retreat after busy days out.

The staff were friendly and polite, and I want to give special thanks to Yusuf and Ahmed, who were consistently warm, helpful, and welcoming. Their hospitality made a genuine difference.

There are, however, a few areas that could be improved. The air conditioning didn’t seem to work, and there was a strange sewer-like smell coming from the bathroom. The door to our room didn’t close properly, which affected comfort and privacy. Additionally, the breakfast could be a bit more varied, as the options felt limited over the course of the stay.

With a few maintenance updates and some enhancements to the breakfast offering, this riad has the potential to be excellent. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful, and the location is ideal — it just needs some attention to the room facilities.

Beautiful spot and excellent breakfast. Especially loved the sounds of the birds in the morning. The team took good care of us and accompanied us to and from transportation. They even found and hand delivered some items we had left behind. Shokran!

The place was immaculately clean , the details in the design all enchanting . The room super comfortable , the breakfast generous to the point of being ridiculous . Two small details : no trashcan in the room or bathroom and smelly drain which happens in many roads in the Medinas since the sewage system is insufficient .

Yousaf and Ahmad made our stay amazing with their hospitality and service. They were able to coordinate with our driver without us getting involved and as a result everything went smoothly. The breakfast was amazing, rooms were comfortable and the overall riad was just beautiful. It is tucked away on the other side of the Medina which we liked away from the hustle and bustle. The pictures are exactly what the beautiful riad is. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to any visitor.

Dar Seven is an absolute gem in Marrakech! The hotel is cute, cozy, and full of charm — the perfect peaceful retreat after exploring the city. What truly made our stay special were Iliass and Ahmed. They made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived.
Iliass was especially amazing — he went above and beyond to help us get around the city, gave great recommendations, and was always there when we needed anything. Their hospitality was incredible, and we’re so grateful for their warmth and kindness.
I highly recommend Dar Seven to anyone looking for an authentic and heartwarming Marrakech experience!

It is the best property we ever stayed at in terms of hospitality. Ilyas proposed to walk with us to the places we wanted to go dine, especially at night and us being 2 girls. Ilyas and Ahmed and the house lady made sure that everything was perfect and they went above and beyond every single day. Highly highly recommend. We cannot thank them enough for caring so much and being so attentive. Breakfast was also amazing.

The property is comfortable, safe, quite, beautiful, breakfast was delicious ...the staff is amazing. Ilmad and iliass booked/suggested all our day trips, dinner reservations , tours around the Medina, shopping experiences..they both made our nine day stay extra extra special. Iliass always texted us when we were out late to make we were ok...and during the day. One time we were lost, he came with a taxi to pick us up. If i return to Marrakesh, i will stay at Dar Seven, its a quite hidden gem.

Our perfect stay in the Loggia Suite

This was our first visit to Marrakech and first time away as a family and Dar Seven did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty, immediately being presented with home brewed mint tea whilst sitting in the beautiful courtyard of the Riad.
Our hosts, Ahmad and Iliass were fantastic from start to finish. Their dedication to their guests is exceptional with nothing being too much hassle, day or night.
They organised a private day trip for us up the Ourika Valley, visiting a traditional Berber house, a pottery, an Argon oil cooperative and a guided walk to the beautiful waterfalls. We even stopped for a quick camel ride on the way home!
They made great restaurant suggestions, including Dar Zellij, a 17th century traditional Morrocan restaurant, just a stone’s throw away from the Riad. Another recommendation we visited was Chez Lamine, a restaurant frequented by A list celebrities, where lamb is lowered down into large ovens in the ground and cooked to perfection, in only a way the Moroccans know how.
They even provided a lovely dinner on the rooftop of the Riad, where during the day you can view the snow capped Atlas Mountains- very romantic.
The Riad itself is clean, with the suite refreshed everyday. There are multiple living areas to relax, the courtyard, the roof top and a living room. As we traveled with our one year old son, we booked the Loggia Suite which is the only room with a balcony overlooking th

A high recommendation for Dar Seven!

Dar Seven was a wonderful oasis amid the colorful, crazy, chaotic feel of Marrakesh. The staff were most attentive and accommodating to our every needs. The decor was most interesting and a delight to be around. Nothing but high praise!

Clean, nice, hotel, walking distance to the Souk

Just returned from 4 nights at Dar Seven. The hotel is quite difficult to find, so the staff will come and meet you and take you to the hotel. Once you make the trip several times it becomes easier to find. The staff will offer to walk you to restaurants, come pick you up, or arrange taxi/tuk tuk service for you. Be aware they will not help negotiate a good rate for you. As a tourist in Morocco, everyone is trying to separate your money from you. My experience at other riads was that the owner would tell you what to pay to keep you from being overcharged. This was not the case here. The hotel itself was very nice and very clean. The breakfast could be better, if you asked me. They offered bread (a lot of bread), eggs, nice orange juice, but not enough protein for my liking.

Dreamlike!

Amazing experience. An oasis in the middle of an old bustling city. Amal made us so welcome like a private home and the room was amazingly gorgeous and the atmosphere that the staff created was a constant dreamlike state we didn't even want to leave and explore the city. It felt like you were in a private home and not much of a hotel. It's definitely a wonderful place to fall in love (or again!)
