  Lovely place to stay!

  05 Jan 2026

  This is a lovely riad in an amazing location where you can explore everything in the medina with ease.The bed is comfortable and there’s a lovely little courtyard to eat breakfast in and sofas to relax. We saw the fireworks on New Year’s Eve from the roof terrace and enjoyed mint tea in the courtyard. This place is made extra special by the housekeeper Mohammed who makes the stay amazing. He is so friendly and it feels like arriving home when you are greeted by him. He makes a lovely breakfast and you eat in the courtyard with little birds who come to visit. Jamal the owner arranged a tour for us to the Sahara desert which was excellent. Mohammed gave us an extra large breakfast and helped us with some snacks for the journey and when we returned to pick up our larger bag he offered us tea after a long journey. We would 100% go back! The staff really go above and beyond to make sure it’s a wonderful time in Marrakech.

  Bit disappointing

  10 Nov 2025

  Very pretty riad but no windows for natural daylight and the room was literally just the beds. Insane banging from construction next to the wall, noisy a/c, sketchy dark street to walk up to it and having to knock every time to get in was kind of annoying.Night staff was so friendly but the owner tries to scam with crazy prices for trips which you can get if you follow the main rd towards Jemma el fna there’s a shop where you can book for a fraction.Really great location but i would not stay again, room descriptions in advertisement is laughable compared to what you get.

  Truly morrocon experience

  10 Oct 2025

  Absolutely love this place, very welcoming. All the staff very lovely & Mo so helpful & chatty. You have to knock on door to get in, but always answered straight away no matter what time of day. The rooms were lovely, clean & the roof top terrace perfect place for breakfast every morning & chilling later in the day with the jacuzzi.The place is right in the middle of everything, easy to walk everywhere, next to the Palace & close walk to the souk/markets & in the middle of those is the secret garden which is stunning. The owner organised a trip for us to the desert for a camal ride, drinks, meal & a show, cost £60 each but worth every penny, absolutely amazing experience. If you want a truly morrocon experience, this is the perfect place, will definitely be going back ❤️ Riad Dar Attika, Directeur général at Riad Dar ATTIKA, responded to this review Bonjour.merci pour votre comentaire qui nous aide a amiliorée notre service.l equipe de RIAD DAR ATTIKA vous souhaite la bien venu

  Holiday from hell

  13 Jun 2025

  I stayed at Riad Dar Attika in Marrakech and there are many negative online reviews warning that the owner is a scammer (they are not exaggerated), I booked through a package and discovered just how accurate those warnings were. What followed felt more like a punishment than a holiday.I paid for a luxury suite with private amenities, I disputed the tiny dark room with no window on arrival and I was told every room was the same and no such facilities exist. I eventually managed to swap rooms. The room was the same, except it wasn’t in the dining room and had a window. The photos and description are pure misrepresentation.I paid the city tax in cash at check‑in (no receipt was offered). Several days later the owner claimed I hadn’t paid. After a heated discussion where I was called a liar and I had removed myself from the owners presence. A man appeared at my room claiming to be a rep, intimidation tactics were used by saying owner had a video of me not paying and police will be called. I stood firm and refused to pay twice.The owner contacted Love Holidays with fabricated lies about my conduct to discredit me and increase the pressure.As a woman travelling alone with my young son, this orchestrated intimidation was disgusting and clearly aimed at making us feel vulnerable enough to hand over more money.The stress and poor conditions drove me to book a night at another hotel (Labranda Targa) for a break. The tax dispute flared up only after I returned.After being dropped by a taxi close to the Riad, where men were waiting to scam, by quickly taking ur case and escorted you to your hotel. As it’s up alley ways, cars cannot take you there directly. It felt very unsafe and scary, especially for a woman and her young son. This man demanded the equivalent of 50 pounds for this 2 min walk. After I complained, the money was suddenly returned and the owner phoned urging me to trust only him—then started pushing overpriced excursions the very next day.The owner pushed excursions relentlessly. One day‑trip was quoted at €230, a tour I later found online for €20–€30—nearly ten times the real cost. This happened for another 2 trips plus on overpriced taxi fare of 50 euros which he instructed I pay to him. Every opportunity was turned into a way for the Riad owner to line his pocket. When I refused to pay the city tax twice, staff insisted there was video evidence (never shown) and called me a liar. A staff member sat at our table uninvited, which I found uncomfortable and over familiar and made comments (“Turkey good country, England bad country”). As a Scottish guest, I found this offensive and unprofessional.Meals were tagines every day lunch and dinner with no choices offered. Which for a bit repetitive after a few days. These were also big portion sizes, which may not be a bad thing, but we are but big eaters and were made to feel uncomfortable with comments such as “You no eat?, why you no eat, this is good food”, turned every meal into an ordeal. While possibly cultural, the repeated pressure made mealtime stressful and The riad was dirty and grubby, nowhere near professional standards. Bed sheets were never changed once during the week, and I doubt they were changed between the previous guests.Overall: Riad Dar Attika is mis‑sold, badly maintained, and operates on intimidation and overcharging. The environment felt manipulative, unsafe, and unhygienic from start to finish. I left feeling scammed, stressed, and exhausted. Avoid this riad at all costs.

  Nice, but mixed feelings

  03 Oct 2024

  Well. I have mixed feelings about this. It's a delightful building. The bedroom was beautiful in its way. The sole staff member we saw was charming. But. I found the bed pretty hard. You don't get a key to the front door so have to knock or ring - but the doorbell was broken. There was some issue with the air conditioning remote controller. The staff member found one which worked, but then reappeared several times later asking us to try other remotes, none of which worked. The last time he knocked on our door waving an alternative remote controller (non-working again) for us to try was 11.30pm when we were in bed! We suspect from half heard conversations that people in another room went that night with no remote controller for their air conditioning. Finally, we were only asked to pay the tourist tax as we were leaving. Naturally, there was "no change" so we had to overpay slightly.
