This was our second time staying at Roberto’s riad. It’s a wonderful and beautiful riad. Everyone at the Riad is super friendly and makes you feel at home. Thank you Yousef, Ismael, Simo and Roberto

Riad Azahar was a gorgeous oasis tucked away from the noisy and chaotic Medina. Only a 10 minute walk from the crazy and sensual overload of Djemaa el-Fnaa, Riad Azahar felt like a million miles away. Maybe the only thing better than the Riad itself was the staff - Yusef, Ismael, and Simo were all absolutely delightful and super helpful. Between them, and Roberto (the proprietor) and the housekeeping and kitchen staff, I felt very taken care of, and very safe. Breakfast each morning was superb! I would stay at Riad Azahar again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend it to anyone wishing to vising Marrakesh.

While it was nicely tucked away from the crazy Medina, it was pretty hard to find. Luckily, Simo met us at the square where our taxi dropped us off. Still, a bit hard to find on our own, though I admit to being directionally challenged!

The Riad, the staff, and the experience was superb. We were a bit concerned about some negative comments which included some complaints about noise, location, the riad itself. The complaints, in our opinion, are completely unfounded... how is there going to be any noise when the street is a tertiary street, away from the hustle and bustle? The staff were very welcoming, very attentive and friendly. The room was perfect, and so were the rest of facilities. The dinner offer was excellent, and having the little pool at the top was a fantastic add-on to cool off on the high heat summer days. If we go back to Marrakech definitely we will go back.

Unfortunately the 2023 earthquake has affected the nearby properties significantly, so that means that some ruined properties are still under the rubble, and in some cases there's garbage accumulating in the ruins. Some of the ruined properties are used by marginal people, which can feel a bit eerie. Hopefully the restoration of the ruined properties advances and the streets can recover their full functionality.

We often hear the phrase “a home from home” but nothing could be more apt for this amazing Riad. Lovingly restored with attention to detail you’d think this was enough but on top of this there is an amazing team behind it who welcome you with open arms. Having visited Morocco multiple times, this Riad is the one I felt was a second home and will come back to again. Great terrace too including a small Hamam and plunge pool. Thank you for an amazing stay
