Such a beautiful property right inside the Medina. Rooms are very well kept and clean! Everything is walkable and the staff are so friendly! Highly recommended booking this riad for your trip in Marrakech!
Really good service and location with a nice breakfast. They even packed us breakfast when we had to leave early at 6:45 am which was very nice. Hotel facilities were good as well. Would come back again.
The property is beautiful. The staff very friendly and helpful. Location is close to site seeing and shopping area. We were very happy with our stay at this Riad, and I recommend it. I would love to stay at this Riad again should I visit Marrakech.
We had a lovely time at the Riad and was very comfortable throughout. Service and housekeeping was perfect.
Breakfast was a good variety and fresh.
Lovely stay and thank you for your hospitality!
This property is a hidden treasure in the heart of Marrakech. The breakfast was amazing & traditional, the staff are always smiling & finding ways to enhance your experiences in Morroco.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this riad! It was super clean, the room was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and location was very central.
Moustapha was amazing and really made our experience, he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provided us with everything we needed.
Beautiful small Riad near the Medina square. Felt very safe and quiet even as a solo traveller. Room was lovely and cosy with a gorgeous bathroom. Moustapha was a brilliant host and went out of his way to help with anything. Would definitely recommend.
The property was in the perfect location, very walkable. Everything was perfect, especially the staff. The only downside was the bed wasn't very comfortable. Other than that it was truly great!
Riad Dar Bayane, is a well maintained wonderful Riad with exceptionally great staff.
It is located close to the Medina in Marrakech and is walking distance from most other historic sites. Even so it was still in a quiet location and was very restful to be in.
The staff were wonderful and helped us in every way possible, even when we were in a pinch and needed to make adjustments to our bookings they were able to accomodate us easily.
The Food here was great as well, worth the price.
Would highly recommend.
Very pretty Riad! The rooms are modern and clean, and they provide you with a nice breakfast. The property is in a convenient part of Marrakech and less than a 10 minute walk to the Jemaa el-fnaa square. The manager Moustapha is extremely friendly and helpful. He booked spa and dinner reservations for us as well as set up airport transportation. We really enjoyed our stay here and wish we were there for more than one night!
We had an amazing stay at Riad Dar Bayane, everyone was so lovely and helpful, going above and beyond for us while we visited Marakesh. Before arriving I had messaged about airport transfer and a booking at a restaurant both of which were sorted for us which made it super easy for us. The riad was in an amazing location located next to the main square but yet was so peaceful and quiet. We had an amazing time and can’t thank the staff enough! Hannah and Jonny x
We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Dar Bayane. The property itself is gorgeous, just as it looks in photos and is also in an amazing location being only a few minutes away from the main square. Whilst it is so close to everything, it also feels very private and quiet. Moustapha and the staff were incredibly friendly, giving us recommendations and making us feel very well looked after. They even made us a packed breakfast for the airport when we left! Our room was cleaned every day and was spotless. The breakfast provided was also incredible, with a range of Moroccan foods. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and would definitely recommend! Thank you for such a wonderful stay.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming riad hotel in Marrakech, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The hotel was impeccably clean, and my room felt incredibly cozy and well-maintained. I also loved the location, which was perfect for exploring the city—it’s within walking distance of all the key attractions and some fantastic restaurants.
One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. Every morning, I enjoyed delicious, freshly prepared food on the hotel’s beautiful rooftop garden, which added a special touch to the experience.
However, what truly made my stay memorable was the staff. Every team member was friendly and considerate, making me feel genuinely welcome. I’d particularly like to recognize Moustapha, who took the time to introduce me to the area around the hotel and ensure I was well taken care of. On the day of my early morning check-out, Moustapha went above and beyond by arranging a take-out breakfast for me, so I wouldn’t go hungry before my journey.
Overall, this riad provided an exceptional experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech.
The room was beautiful as was the whole hotel. They met up with us outside of the medina since our driver called them and let us check in a little early and served up tea. There is no check in counter. The pool looked more like an accessory than something to enjoy, but hey, go for it! A little down the alleyway was an incredible hamman where my friend and I enjoyed our 1st experience including a massage after a 24 hour trip, which the hotel booked for us. It was incredible, but you cannot be shy about your body. One. Bit. As for the hotel, the room's A/C got nice and cold, the room was spotlessly clean, the shower pressure was enjoyable and the bed was rock hard (but it seems that is the way of most beds in Morocco) and I loved the down comforter! We left the next morning too early for breakfast, so I was a bit disappointed not to taste test my 1st Moroccan petite dejeuner, but we survived til our next Hotels.com destination of Fes
Moustapha and his team were superb. They could not do enough to help us enjoy our Marrakesh stay. The riad itself although only 6 rooms is very nicely decorated. Location is walkable to all major tourist attractions in the medina. Our room was spacious and very clean, with a traditional decor. I must admit we arrived late on our first night as our flight was delayed and Moustapha had arranged a meal for us, which we felt guilty as we didn’t eat much, but the food was traditional Moroccan, and was as good as any other meal we had. Moustapha I think the next morning could sense we were nervous of the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh so sat with us and explained some do’s and don’ts with some great restaurant recommendations (and bars)for which we were super grateful. We had a walking tour guide arranged by the riad too, which was great, highly recommended. We took a trip to the mountains which is a full day, but it gave us a lot of culture and sights we wanted to experience, and not expensive. The riad or tripadviser can tell you all you need to know. The souks and main square are madness. Prepare yourself for this and you’ll be fine. It feels safe, and everyone you meet is very friendly.

Hotel.com should have researched this property more thoroughly before listing it. Parking is about a 20-minute walk from the riad, and the cost is not the 30 DHS indicated—it is actually 60 DHS per night. Because the walk is long and through narrow pathways in the Medina, you will also need to hire a porter to transport your luggage to the riad.
Riad Dar Bayane is very difficult to locate within the old Medina, and the property itself is extremely small. The rooms are compact to the point of being uncomfortable. The beds are too small for an older couple, and both the mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. The room was so tight that when one person got up, the other had to sit down just to make space. The online photos appear zoomed in or taken at angles that make the rooms look much larger than they truly are.
The shower also had almost no water pressure, making it nearly unusable.
To be fair, the staff were very nice and extremely helpful—our experience had nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, the facilities and overall comfort level did not meet our expectations. This riad may be suitable for younger travelers who don’t mind very tight spaces and minimal amenities, but it is not suitable for seniors. We ultimately forfeited one of our nights and booked a different hotel just to breathe and rest comfortably.
Our stay at Riad Dar Bayane was absolutely incredible, and we truly can’t praise it enough. Moustapha and his wonderful team made us feel so welcome, offering a level of hospitality that far exceeded our expectations. Moustapha was an exceptional host, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be. His generous assistance, from providing local tips to helping us navigate unfortunate situations with taxis and merchants—despite managing his own busy schedule—was invaluable. We are deeply grateful for his support.
The entire staff was incredibly kind, attentive, making our experience feel personal and heartfelt. The Riad itself is beautifully designed, with a rooftop and a few sun beds, seamlessly blending traditional Moroccan charm with modern comforts. The peaceful atmosphere offered the perfect retreat for relaxation in the midst of the Medina. A special mention goes to Jamal’s unforgettable Moroccan mint tea—after trying mint tea all over the city, we can confidently say his was unmatched (even compared to Royal Mansour)! His kindness in offering us tea when we returned to the Riad at night, knowing we had fallen ill before the trip, was deeply appreciated.
From the delicious breakfasts to the impeccable service throughout our stay, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. We can’t wait to return to this hidden gem in Marrakech. Thank you, Moustapha, and the entire team, for making our stay so memorable and unforgettable.
Nice riad, the road to the riad is through some abandoned alleys that might feel a little uncomfortable at night. Very friendly staff. The hotel was being painted while we were there. The rooms are a bit noisy as you can hear other guests entering the court yard at night.
