Riad Dar El Assafir

The hotel is down an alley and the door is always locked so you feel secure. So Someone has to let you in. Jibrel is the hotel manager and very friendly. He is very well dressed and accommodating. Omar the 2nd in command is the absolute BEST. He goes over and beyond to make you feel welcome and answer all your questions. As soon as you arrive you get your tea and cookies that are yum. You get that the whole time during your stay. Omar gave me directions no matter where I was going. Reda is the one who does EVERYTHING! He takes your luggage, he brings you tea or towels. He calls and confirms my excursions and taxis. He went shopping with us so U could find everything I needed. He is all around hardworking and hardworking individual. You can ask him for anything. Reda’s mom works at the hotel as well as the cook and to help clean the rooms. You do not want to miss her breakfast! Also if you want a true Moroccan home made meal Reda’s mom, Rarida is an excellent cook! One night instead of going out for dinner to a restaurant, we stayed in and had her dinner. Omg it was better than some restaurants and not expensive at all. There is a beautiful pool when you walk in that you can go swimming in. There are many other rooms to eat breakfast or dinner. The rooms are obviously Moroccan style that are beautiful. There is no TV in the room, but you’re on vacation you should be out and about. A very good size room with lots of space. You can ask for an iron to use. The location is perfect to go sight seeing and shopping! A lot of shopping and variety of restaurants. I bought so much stuff. Plus all my excursions that were so different and once in a lifetime experience. For the type of service we received, there is no doubt to recommend staying here. Omar and Reda made you feel like family.

Lovely rihad excellent location no need for taxi rooms very large .such a lovely relaxing place cannot fault the place and you can get a beer.what makes the place is the staff from top to bottom.one big happy family and big mention to Omar who in my opinion is a star.would I come back to right I would xx

We enjoyed a lot our stay here. It was an authentic moroccan experience in an old traditional and beautiful riad. The service personnel was very nice an friendly, they help us with everything we needed and even prepared for us a special traditional dinner with tangia and moroccan salad. Next time we will definitively come back again for a longer stay!

Omar and the whole staff were amazing. Our room was very clean and spacious. The pool was beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious! Omar was always there to help us with directions, taxi, and anything we needed. The entire experience was so relaxing and effortless. This Riad is so beautiful you will not want to leave!

We stayed here for a week in February. Summary: highly recommended. We were well looked after by all the staff and especially Omar was very helpfully with advice and great recommendations. Reda got the huge telly going for us to watch a movie on amazon prime (their account). Very filling breakfast and well accommodating. We appreciated being able to sunbathe on the roof terrace. When the temperature was low we were kept warm by the warm fires in lounge and breakfast rooms. Enjoyed having baths and having air conditioning in the room. Very peaceful considering the central location, only about 10-15min walk from the main square and many attractions.  They organise airport transfer for a better price than the average. (Best to call to arrange). Also printed our boarding passes. If you are looking for a safe, welcoming and friendly Riad this is the place!

Two friends and I have just spent a wonderful few days in Marrakesh, based in this Riad. We shared the 3 bedroom apartment which was perfect for all our needs, clean, lots of individual space, plenty linen and great service. Jibril in particular could not have been more helpful, a couple of times we literally don’t know what we’d have done without him to sort us out. We highly recommend everything about this place. Thank you to everyone. Julianne Duncan, Scotland
