I’d done a bit of research prior to booking my stay in Marrakech and Riad Dar Zaman came up as a “hidden gem” on several, so I booked it without too much hesitation. Even so, I was surprised at the care that began before our tip even began. Peter, the owner, began communication pretty soon after booking to let us know about amenities (including a transfer from the airport, which we booked). He also responded on the same thread when I had questions in the months leading up to the trip, which was great. After we were picked up, we were met on the street by a member of the staff who helped us with our bags and navigate the tricky streets of Marrakech. He and the rest of the team got us settled in with tea and a map to orient ourselves. Everyone felt very friendly, welcoming and natural that any sense of disorientation was evaporated almost immediately. in fact, the hospitality from the very beginning was uncharted and this was me flying in after taking a cruise!
The property itself was gorgeous! The room was small but very comfortable. The AC worked quickly to cool the room down. The bedding was naturally cooling. The riad was tucked far enough back from the main streets that you don’t hear any noise at all when you close the door. It’s clearly in an active neighborhood but at no point did we feel unsafe. Just be aware of motor bikes, regular bikes, and donkeys (yup) because they have right of way! It’s a relatively easy walk to major attraction you’d want to go to.
