I wanted to share how wonderfully memorable our stay at Riad Dar Assiya was. The food was absolutely delicious, the rooms were very comfortable, and the staff were warm, pleasant, and genuinely personable.

I would especially like to recognize Mohammed, Mouad, and Adil for their outstanding customer service. Their natural warmth, attention to detail, clear communication, and patience made a real difference and added so much to our experience. They were a pleasure to interact with and played a big part in making our stay so special.

Great welcome & brief on the area. Service was exceptional from the staff as was the breakfast. Room ( Africa) was very comfortable but is the smallest & a little tight alongside the bed. Overall ambience was very relaxing & we would visit again. Only minor issue was the temperature at breakfast.

I loved my stay at Dar Assiya. The staff was so helpful with guides, cabs, tuktuk, and meals. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The a/c worked great, and the pool was gorgeous to dine next to.
I suggest getting dinner at least one night here, they do great vegetarian tagines as well as meat tagines. The breakfast was stellar and huge. They offered a different assortment of delicious pancakes, pastries, eggs and lots of good coffee. It was well worth it to do the airport transfer by them, and I found it easy to meet up with the driver.

A Magical Stay at Dar Assiya – Exceptional Staff

Our stay at Dar Assiya in Marrakech was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, safety, and enjoyment. They truly made us feel like part of their family and made navigating Marrakech incredibly easy and stress-free. Whether it was organizing transport, recommending local spots, or simply greeting us with warmth and generosity, their attention and care elevated our entire experience.

Special shoutout to Mohammed and Moad—your hospitality was world-class, and we’re so grateful for everything you did.

The architecture of the riad is absolutely spectacular—a stunning blend of traditional Moroccan design and intricate craftsmanship. Every detail, from the carved plaster to the tiled floors and peaceful courtyard, is simply breathtaking. It’s clear that immense love and care have gone into preserving the soul of this beautiful building.

And let’s not forget the food—every meal we had was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast in the serene courtyard or a traditional dinner in the evening, the quality and presentation are top-notch.

We left feeling enriched, welcomed, and inspired. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone visiting Marrakech to stay at Dar Assiya. Not only will you find a beautiful space to rest, but you’ll also be embraced by a team that genuinely cares about making your trip unforgettable.

Thank you, Dar Assiya team—until next time!

The customer service was amazing! My husband , I and another couple enjoyed our delicious breakfasts and amazing Moroccan tea. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony beautifully done. We were scared at the beginning to leave the room since there is no key to lock the door but the riad was so safe that once we realized that we didn’t worry anymore. We asked for a dinner when we arrived and they made it beautifully in a private setting just for us. Afterwards we enjoyed the tea at the rooftop lounge. One thing though - it was hard to find the place and parking was a bit far to carry the luggage so some people at the parking offered their help and when we asked how much they said not to worry. Once they brought our luggage and helped us find the riad they charged us almost $100!!! Be careful if you accept anyone’s help it is not free and make sure you ask in advance how much so you don’t get surprised.

Because we stayed in several riads in different cities, so in comparison, this could improve in the sense that the decoration both in the courtyard and the room could be improved. Right now it's a bit chaotic. The GPS doesn't work well here that we ended up parking on the street side about 4 min walk to the raid.... Not too bad.

We stayed at Dar Assiya Le Perite and has an excellent time! The Riad was beautiful and comfortable, but the best part of our stay was the lovely staff (Abdou and Soulaiman). Both of these kind gentleman were incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. They ensured that we were very comfortable, and that all our needs were met throughout our stay. When we return to Marrakech, we will certainly stay at this Riad again because the Riad is very nice, and staff is wonderful. They really made our experience much better.

Our trip to Marrakesh was wonderful both because of the city and the staff at Dar Assiya. Abdul and Sueliman, who are the primary staff at the Riad, are both incredible hosts. There was nothing that was too much for them to do for us or help us with and we never had to ask, most everything was anticipated. They are warm, friendly, professional and helped us with all of our needs. My husband and I travel the world frequently and we have never had such amazing hosts as Abdul and Suliman. The Riad itself is comfortable and clean. It is in a great location to access everything and most of the sites we wanted to see were walking distance. DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY AT THIS WONDERFUL RIAD IN MARAKESH.

This beautiful riad is tucked away in the Medina & we were able to walk the area with ease. Although it isn’t easy the find the first time, a member of the staff meets you to collect your luggage & escort you to the location. We pinned the location to be able to easily find our way back each trip. Each of the staff we encountered were extremely accommodating & kind. The entire property was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the attention to detail; from the housekeepers meticulously organizing our belongings to the yummy breakfast timed at our request each day. I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Fit for royalty! We had a magical stay here.
The staff kindly arranged tours and visits for us which helped us make the most of our three-day stay in Marakesh. The hotel is safe, serene, and superb in every way. The breakfasts were wonderful and the dinner prepared by the hotel cook was the best meal we had in Marakesh, which says a lot because all the food was fantastic. A hidden gem.

Beautiful riad with kind staff. We asked for a taxi driver to take us to the airport and was told that alll I need to pay is 150 dh, but the guy who take you to the taxi is not the taxi driver and will ask you for money. We were not expecting this and did not have any money more than 150dh. The guy hassled and it was not a pleasant experience.

Perfect Riad Experience in the Heart of Marrakesh

Beautiful, quiet Riad just off the center of the souk madness. Amazing renovation and beautiful artifact touches. Many surviving interior and architectural elements to savor. Fantastic rooftop. Somewhat close quarters with five rooms around a single atrium but well worth the stay. The kitchen and food on site are worth a try. All around great stay.

Dar Assiya was absolutely fantastic. It is such a beautiful place to stay and the staff were incredibly helpful with everything we could possibly need- be it organising tours, taxis and restaurant bookings. Maoud (apologies if I misspelt your name!) even helped us organise an airport transfer to our hotel in Casablanca when we were having issues contacting staff at our next hotel.

This was the best customer service we have ever experienced. Dar Assiya is beautifully decorated. There were only two rooms in the whole place and three people working at the hotel. The staff was extremely attentive and kind; our every need was met. We were served a delicious breakfast in the morning and was escorted to and from our taxi when we arrived/left. The location is a little tricky to find on our own so this was really helpful.

We stayed in this riad for our first two nights in Morocco. At the time when we arrived we had been brought to the riad by a man (we felt quite insecure as the riad is located in the medina). We arrived at the main buiding but were directed to an “adjacent” building as our booking was with that buidling (it was not really adajecent and took about 10 mins to walk there). It is not very easy to find as we got lost when we were going back to the riad on the second night. The medina has been quite well-known with its narrow and maze-liked streets.

Overall, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room is comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay there.

We initially stayed at the smaller (adjacent building) and there are only two rooms in that location. We were then upgraded to the larger location which is about 10-15 minutes aways and bigger in size. Both beautiful but the adjacent building is newer. Both locations are beautiful hotels with rooftop decks for dining for breakfast. We were celebrating our honeymoon and we arranged for a private rooftop deck dinner on our last night and the staff went above and beyond to make it special for us. Definitely recommend staying. The larger riad is in the heart of the souk, so our preference was actually the adjacent building. Plus we really bonded with the staff there so were kind of sad to leave them. Lol. But definite, definite recommend to stay here while in Marrakech!

We had a wonderful stay at Dar Assiya. The property is smaller (only 5 rooms) but incredibly well appointed, clean, airy, and relaxing. Location was good-in the heart of the souks and in the medina, and about a 10 minute walk to the taxi stand. Staff were all incredibly accommodating and helped us with every detail of our stay, including booking day excursions for us and transfers from the airport. We enjoyed one dinner at the riad on our first night which was romantic and delicious. I do think we were charged for a full bottle of wine at dinner despite only each having a glass, but this seemed a small price to pay for our great experience. Breakfast everyday was incredibly fresh (amazing, fresh squeezed orange juice, a variety of fresh homemade pastries, fresh fruit, and options for eggs). Additionally, we enjoyed some hot sunny mornings on the roof terrace where one can escape the mayhem of the Marrakech streets below. Although it was slightly more expensive than the other riad we stayed at during our week long stay, the service, rooms, and staff were worth the extra money in my opinion. Highly recommend staying!

Beautiful Riad in the Medina

We spent 4 days at Dar Assiya. The staff helped to arrange a driver to pick us up from the airport and bring us as close to the riad as possible. From there we met an employee who loaded our bags into a cart as we walked through the undriveable streets. The riad is beautiful and hospitable. They greet you with mint tea and cookies. Through out our stay they attended to our needs and were very helpful. One thing to keep in mind-- everything can be heard! The doors are old Moroccan style and aren't great at keeping sound in or out. On our first night a noisy family with children could be heard for several hours.

The riad is very close to all the souks and a 15-20 minute walk to Jemaa el Fnaa.

Other than that, we had a great experience and can't wait to return!

The Best Part of My Morocco Trip

My wife and I stayed here for our one year anniversary and it was beyond amazing. I told the staff it was our anniversary and upon arriving their house chef, Habiba had made us an anniversary cake. The room was impeccable and decorated with rose petals in celebration of our anniversary. We were very comfortable with the beautiful room and the washroom was also very modern. They provided us with a cell phone to contact them if we ever got lost or had questions, which is something I have never experienced. It actually came in handy on the first night when we got lost trying to find the place. Not that the place is hard to find, but everyone talks about getting lost in the Medina.

Mohammad and Mouoad really made this a memorable stay. They were very friendly and took care of everything we need. Before setting out for our day, Mohammad ran from the Dar to find us just to give us an umbrella because the forcast called for rain. We were shocked.

The food here was also very memorable. Free breakfast everyday, and it slightly changed too, so you got some variation. We also decided to do dinner here (not free), which was excellent.

If I ever come back to Marrakesch, I will most certainly be staying here.

Wonderful riad close to souks.

This is a small but very comfortable riad close to the souks in the Medina. My wife and I were greeted by a very pleasant staff member and and he gave us mint tea and sweets.
After relaxing for a short time Mohammad showed us to our room and we were extremely pleased with the decor and the view of the center of the riad from the second floor balcony. The bathroom had a rain shower head and large sink. Super plush towels and a robes were waiting for us to use. The bed, comforter and pillows were a welcome sight and was very comfortable. We arranged for dinner at 8 pm and we were served immediately with some of the best food we have ever had. Service with a smile and we think this is 5 star facility! Two other members of the Dar Assiya that were stellar are Moad and Rhizlane. The next morning breakfast was served with different types of bread, jams, eggs, juice, coffee all of which tasted great! I don’t remember whether Mohammad or Moad arranged for a private tour guide for the second day. The guide Abdal was punctual and very personable. He was superb at explaining the different histories of the buildings, the souks and the Muslim religion when we asked. The 4 hour tour turned in 8 hour tour and Abdal offered to keep going as long as we needed him. He is truly special in many ways. We now have a new friend in Morocco!
After a long day touring the city we asked the staff if it was possible to have dinner at the riad and they came through.

also wonderful

Stop looking - it's perfect

This riad is gorgeous, very comfortable and clean and the staff are incredibly helpful. Pictures don't lie.
Breakfast (included) was the best we had in Morocco. The beds are actually comfortable, AC helped in the hot heat, the accommodation was quiet, and the rooftop terrace was a great spot to share a bottle of wine.

You will probably need a bit of help finding it in the maze of a medina (as we did - the Google maps location isn't quite accurate, but I can't imagine how it could be). That said, I'm sure the staff would come out and bring you directly to the door. Highly highly recommend.

Beautiful riad in the heart of the old Medina

Amazing riad in the heart of the old Medina! The hotel is spotless, the service impeccable, and the location is great. We got a decent deal on the room as well (and I think there are only 5 in the entire riad).

Only advice I would give is to book your own local tour guide. The guide we got from the hotel was not the best (walked fast, didn't explain a lot, brought us to stores he knew the owners).
