On our way from the airport to the Riad we were wondering what we got ourselves into, but Riad Dar Najat was a little piece of heaven amongst the crazy streets of old town Marrakech. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the riad our last night and it was an absolutely amazing meal. Breakfast was also fantastic. The riad itself is very clean and beautiful and we enjoyed time in the pool on the hot afternoons. Our room had everything we needed. The location was perfect for walking to the square and the souks. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Riad! A must when visiting

This place is beyond amazing! From the time you book your reservation to the time you check out you will be treated well. The owner emails you right after you book with information about how to get here and see if you will need anything for arrival. The staff is also friendly and polite especially Amine!! He has made my stay even better. And the driver Abdou was also great. Anything you need they will take care of it for you. Tours, food, recommendations, they will help. The place is clean and very welcoming. The bed is comfortable and breakfast is more than you need. I felt totally safe staying here. Oh and the location is perfect. I will definitely be back and will be staying here for sure.

Not for us!

Felt unsafe at the hotel and in the area. The streets are very narrow and the area seems very deprived. The Staff at the Riad did their best to accommodate us but we didn’t feel that we could remain there for 5 days. The rooms were smaller that what we are use too, and using a padlock to lock the room door felt like a fire hazard.

One of the best Riads in the old city

We had a great experience staying at Riad Dar Najat, from the moment we arrived, to our departure. We chose to take a taxi from the station, but feeling slightly ripped off, wet called the Riad, and they negotiated a fair rate with the taxi. On arrival, Mido walked us over and offered us a drink. He was extremely helpful, pointing us to good restaurants nearby, and walking with us through the narrow streets in the medina to show us how to get to various spots. He arranged a hammam for us, dropped us off, and once we were done, came to pick us up. We left early in the morning on our last day, so he made sure we were fed before the official breakfast time. The other staff were helpful as well, from arranging a tour to Essaouira, to offering us tips on which food stall to eat at in the jemaa el fena square. We were offered quite the spread every morning for breakfast, with a variety of items. Thank you, Riad Dar Najat, for making our first Moroccan experience a good one, and for leaving us with a lasting first impression.

Very friendly staff willing to help at every turn. Beautiful breakfast served on the roof in cozy seating with the birds chirping and sunny skies. Fresh made crepes and coffee. Amazing fresh juice, jams and honey. We had one dinner in the riad and it was fantastic. Best dinner in Marrakech. Beautiful salads and lamb tagine and served so nicely. The location is great for every part of the city you want to see. Airport pickup went very smoothly and we were glad we had at arranged it.

Nice enough if you want to visit Marrakech

Nice enough Riad and glad we had it to get away from the noise and scammers of the Marrakech Médina. It’s in a non touristy area and we found scammers hasstling us only moments from the door. The communal parts are very nice and the hosts friendly. The rooms aren’t the most comfortable or clean but about expected for a 3 star and given its in Marrakech. We found Fez a nice city in general and used this in benchmarking our review of this (just our opinion).

Absolutely lovely staff and good location but the beds were hard as rocks so we woke feeling as though we’d been camping on the ground and there was so much banging and stamping during the nights, we could barely sleep. Wouldn’t recommend.

A real gem in Marrakech, not to be missed!

Really incredible service, people that take hospitality to a new level and understand what awesome is. I highly recommend the Riad and their amazing staff to anyone. The rooms are fantastic, the location is great and the Chicken Tajine I had at the Riad was the best in Morroco. Usually I never eat at hotels but I thought their food was stellar. People you can trust!

Riad Dar Najat is a piece of Heaven right in the middle of the Medina of Marrakesh. With the most friendly staff, good food, comfortable and clean rooms it just makes you feel like home. Close to the Jeemaa el-Fna and all the touristic sites and believe me, thats would make life very easy. I will definitely coming back to Riad Dar Najat without any doubt. Thank you Olli and crew !!!

Frustrated and disappointed. For starters if you don’t get dropped off at a specific drop off location good luck finding the place. There is no driving within the medina, so when we got dropped off it was a trek in a labyrinth with no street names! The hotel blamed our drop off on us while the taxi drivers always insisted they drop us off at the furthest location. Anyway, good luck finding your way. Then the coercion to stay and not leave! Amin said we can stay one night and check out next day. Failed to mention he would charge us regardless telling us if we stay just one night we can cancel for refund. What you figure we stay a night we will get comfortable. Nice try. Forced us to give another credit card! because if the room wasn’t refundable you had a card on file! The owner (British guy) yelled and screamed and compared my 70yo mother to a 19 year old finding her way. Very professional. Don’t recommend hotel for location, safety, owner, lies, and overall damper in my trip!

Great Riad

My girlfriend and I stayed at Dar Najat in October, and we had an amazing time. The location is just a few minutes walk from the main square at Jemm Al Fna and near some nice restaurants. The riad has a nice central courtyard and a lovely rooftop lounge area with great seating and views over the Medina. The rooms were comfortable and clean and everything was well-mainttained. What set Dar Najat apart for us was the staff. They were super attentive, extremely friendly, and had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. When you are a stranger in a strange land and cannot speak the language, it is super comforting to have someone there to help you with communication and getting your bearings - and of all the places we stayed in Morocco, they were the best. Highly recommend this riad to anyone staying in Marrakech.
