Riad Dar El Gnaouia

Pros: The owners were lovely and friendly and helped us the first night when we got lost. Fantastic breakfast each morning. Lovely clean and large room with gorgeous cotton bedding.

Cons: Nothing to not like.

Pros: The staff were lovely, the place was clean, and the riad was surprisingly quiet, given its location. We had some issues with the air conditioning, but the staff was very responsive, and worked with us to sort things out. The pool was unheated, but clean. Breakfast was tasty, with tons of food each morning. I think we would have had trouble finding the riad after dark on our first night, and we were very glad we paid the extra to have them arrange an airport transfer for us. I would recommend it for families traveling with children..

Just perfect for a family travelling with Granma!

Pros: We loved this Riad, felt like a private oasis in the middle of the Medina. Very organised, amazing breakfast and staff!! As a family we also appreciate the fact that it was super quiet… all the time!! No music, no people drinking / making noise … total silence. If someone is looking for a busy lounge / reception to meet people, than this may not be the right place. For us, Wonderful!

Cons: It is a little walk from where the taxi drops you off- we knew about it so it was all good but we had an elderly Granma that found it a bit long (some 15 minutes walking slowly).

Pros: The riad was compact and well located just minutes from the central square. The staff were very friendly and provided a sufficiently large breakfast every morning, which was lovely to wake up too!

Great Riad！ I love it.

Pros: It was a very good experience staying at the Riad. The staff were wonderful and welcoming. The atrium-style Riad looked so beautiful. I loved the welcome drink, which was mint tea. I highly recommend staying here if you visit Marrakesh. It’s very close to the old city.

Cons: Actually, I asked about this before my visit, so it’s not an issue with the staff. I have a house dust allergy, so I was concerned about house dust. The staff explained to me that the Riad is atrium-style, so it might be difficult to completely avoid house dust. I understood this and decided to stay there anyway. Although I did experience some allergy symptoms, the Riad itself was very clean. I believe most people can stay there very comfortably. However, if you have allergies, I would recommend staying at a hotel in the newer part of the city center. Also, this is not the fault of the Riad, but you can hear sounds such as flutes, drums, and the adhan coming from the plaza. If you are a light sleeper and have trouble sleeping with noise, you might also prefer staying at a hotel in the newer part of the city center.

Thank you to the staff at this Riad for a great stay.

Pros: This is an excellent Riad. It’s a great location within the city walls and only minutes from the main square. The staff are also very lovely people always happy to help. It’s a great place.

Cons: Nothing - a great place in a fantastic location staffed by lovely staff. Also as other reviewers have said / the family room is even better than the description.

Pros: Very good location, close to Djemaa El Fna, so feels very safe to walk back home as it's just one small street from the main street. Realy good price/quality. You get welcomed with tea & breakfast is really good! Large rooms & soft beds!

Pros: We loved the location, which is very central yet very quiet. The hospitality was great, and the breakfasts superb. They were flexible regarding check in and check out.

Cons: You have to love your roommate because there is no door to the bathroom, only a curtain.

Absolutely brilliant stay, ideal location and service. We had our baby with us who was a bit poorly for some of it and t

Pros: Ideal location and very quiet dispute being so close to the square. They couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to help with anything and would highly recommend

Cons: Nothing but be aware that you can’t get a taxi directly to the riad (not their fault). We would get it to cafe de France then walk from there (2mins) but after midday taxis are not allowed into the square so we would get dropped off at the shell petrol station and walk 10mins. We used google maps for directions - you don’t need to listen to the street guides who will charge you.

Pros: Everything means everything. The owner, the Lady and the gentleman who were in charge of management and breakfast are the nicest and humble people I have ever met. 10 out of 10. Very clean and neat. The rooftop is awesome.
