The Riad was perfect! The location could not have been better. Just down a quiet side street from the main street of the medina. You cannot drive to the Riad because it is within the pedestrian zone but its location is only a few minutes walk from where your taxi will drop you. There are also people ready to cart your luggage for a small tip if you can't manage on your own. The riad is 3 stories and the stairs are a little work, but it is so charming and so well decorated that it's completely worth a few extra steps!

Hidden Gem in Heart of the Medina

This is a hidden gem in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech -- we can't recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly received and LOVED the ambiance and decor of the riad. Our room was *very* comfortable and provided a uniquely local Moroccan experience. They offered to serve breakfast at the time that worked for our schedule (it was a WONDERFUL, homemade, multi-dish breakfast). Dining in the open-air courtyard was a delightful start to our day. Riad Dar Al Amal is easy to access from the street, and in a quiet corner, nestled at the end of a Medina passage. We had an interest in a particular restaurant in the Medina, and they called in advance to ensure a table would be available for us and gave us walking directions. The hospitality, comfort and cleanliness of this riad are exceptional and we won't stay anywhere else on our next trip to Marrakech!

This is an ancient property. We loved the experience of staying in this riad inside the medina. This property has old furnishings with old fixtures and no updates. We were able to look past that for the experince of staying withen the medina. No regrets but would not repeat.

Not what we expected

This hotel is perfect if you are backpacking and want to stay in “old town”. We had several bags and carrying them up a small spiral staircase was difficult. Ladies who ran the riad were pleasant but didn’t speak English.

The Riad Dar Al Amal provided me with a memorable experience amongst the wonderful surroundings of the Riad/ Medina in central Marrakesch. The ladies who hosted me in the hotel were warm, welcoming, kind and helpful. They provided an appetising local breakfast with the famous mint tea, served on the ground floor amongst traditional and elegant architecture. My simple double bed room, was sufficient and classic, where I enjoyed the peace and quiet within the facility. The roof terrace was also another welcome addition for views and relaxing. Thank You Riad Dar Al Amal for a memorable vacation. Warm Regards, Andrew

Good location, but avoid ground floor room

A good central location in the Medina area but the room was lacking. There was no proper separation of the bathroom and sleeping area, an air freshener spray was all that was provided. Also there were loud arguments between the staff and arriving customers. The room was very compact, I would.advise against the ground floor room. Higher floors look better. The stairs to the roof garden were steep and difficult, if you are tall you need to constantly duck down. The roof garden was pleasant and peaceful, a good place for a relaxing sunset.

We loved staying here and didn’t want to leave. We loved the decor of our bedroom and bathroom and loved having breakfast in the courtyard every morning. The roof terrace was lovely too. I also can’t say enough about the women who run the riad who were so lovely despite the language barrier. It can be a little hard to find at first as cars can’t access the road and the door can’t be seen inmediately, so I would advise looking on Google Maps first

An absolute gem in the middle of Medina. The staff ladies are especially welcoming and kind. Theyre always aroubd to help even when you arrive late. Both the ladies always had a smile on their face and despite our language barriers, made us feel right at home. The owner is always available on whatsapp and offers great recommendations. Walkable distance to souks, jemma el fenn and the medina market. Taxi stand is 3 mins walk. Overall a great place to stay

This is an incredible place for someone who wants to have the unique experience of staying within the walled Medina. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The room was very large with a nice sitting area and the tile kept it comfortably cool even in the scorching heat. The location was extremely walkable and provided easy access to some of the best sites in Marrakech, especially the Musee de Confluences. The area felt very safe and there was a nighttime security guard on the street nearby. Staff were lovely and provided a nice daily breakfast (included in the cost). Staff do not speak much English but it really wasn’t a problem as everything was able to be understood with a few words each in French, Spanish and English combined with hand gestures and demonstrations.

My experience is amazing in this Riad. I managed to stay for two nights and spent in a lovely room on the ground floor for very affordable price. The room is clean and the lady who cleans and manages the place are very nice. Contacting the owner/manager of the place is neat with just whatsapp. Thank you for the lovely place.
