Reviews
A fantastic Riad to match all expectations. Impeccably clean and comfortable. Added bonus of a small pool, plus a constant blasting of cool mist on the terrace in order to cool the guests, delivering attentiveness in every detail. Set in a perfect, peaceful location , immediate access onto the Medina, where you can soak up the atmosphere of the noise of the people in this magical place. The staff at the Riad are very welcoming, happy to help, offering advice on your interest of places to visit. I love that this is only a few hours flight from the UK, warm all year round. Don't worry about it being a closed currency, just take cash, then exchange at the airport, or plenty just off the main square in the Medina. Happy Moroccan travels folks 😍
What an incredible place is this. We stayed the weekend from friday till monday with them. It is really a paradise inside the Medina you can walk to the main places within minutes. The staff is outstanding and really welcoming you feel at home at this place. We will come back here.
We’re so glad we found this wonderful riad in Marrakech! The location was perfect, right in the medina and just a few minutes from the souks and restaurants, yet on a quiet street away from the bustle. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the rooftop terrace was perfect for relaxing in the sun. Breakfast was a highlight, freshly cooked traditional food served with a smile. The staff were fantastic, always welcoming and they couldn’t have done more to help. We usually don’t eat dinner at hotels, but the food here was simply amazing, the best we had on our trip. The lamb tagine we had was outstanding. A huge thanks to everyone at Dar Najat for making our stay so special and memorable. We’ll be recommending this riad to friends and can’t wait to return!
Our stay at Riad Dar Najat was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for 5 nights on a bed and breakfast basis. Even before our stay communications with Olli was good and he was able to answer all our questions before we arrived. This was our first time in Morocco so it was good that airport transfer was included and our driver Abdou was there to greet us. The Riad itself was well maintained, clean and authentic. Our bedroom and ensuite met our expectations and were cleaned everyday with beautiful towel arrangements (by Aisha and Ajiba - I think these were their names). The weather was a little cooler in the evening but our air con heated the room well and the hot shower was spot on. Our hosts at breakfast (Issam/Aisha/Ajiba) were informative, and quite funny and was always a good start to the day. There was a fantastic freshly prepared breakfast (breads, eggs, pancakes, pastries, coffee, tea, fresh orange juice). Definitely filled us up and ready for the day ahead. The Riad was well placed for the main square (Jemaa El Fna), 5 minutes away with lots of souks and restaurants. It did rain sometimes but they had that covered in the Riad. We did book a meal in the Riad on our final night and it was actually the best meal we had across all the restaurants we'd been to. Definitely first class starters, tagines and dessert and good value. We would just like to say this Riad is a 10/10 (or 5 stars) and would recommend it for a stay in Marrakesh. A nice apartment but the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is what made it super special.
We have just returned from a wonderful three nights at Riad Dar Najat, which comes highly recommended for a place to stay in Marrakech. The location is brilliant - really close to all the main attractions so you can easily walk everywhere. Our room was quiet and comfortable, nice and dark at night, plenty of hot water and reversible air conditioning. Breakfast was great, expertly prepared by the staff and served with a smile every morning. The staff are really friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough to make their guests feel at home, whether that’s offering tips for exploring the city, making a delicious mint tea, teaching some basic Arabic or organising a transfer to the airport. Thank you especially to Ahmed and the whole team and I wish Riad Dar Najat every success in the future.
