Riad Zaouia 44 | House in Zaouia Sidi Rhalem, Marrakech-Safi

“If I could give 6 stars I would have given it to Riad Zaouia 44, Mohamed was so thoughtful and very helpful. This was our first time visiting Marrakech, he had WhatsApp me several times to make sure I had everything I need. During our stay, he went on and beyond to help me with a lost item, even it’s not found but I really appreciate his efforts. The room we stayed was the suite, big enough for us and the two kids. The breakfast was awesome and the courtyard was just so peaceful and away from the hustling and bustling. It’s a bit walk from the Medina, about 6-8 mins but once you know the area it was easy to get around. Mohamed and his crew also helped us moved the luggage up and down the stairs. They even carried them to the car service that was stop one block away from the Raid. All and all, if u don’t mind walking an extra two mins from the center of Medina, this is def the great choice, our kids age 10 and 7 had no problem walking with us. highly recommended this Riad.”

“We had a great stay. Thanks to Mo and his team. they were so generous and we felt so welcome. Would absolutely come back.”

“Both Mohammed's are absolutely excellent. They are always happy and smiling and want to help but also remain mega professional. The Riad is stunning and super relaxing. We had an incredible stay and cannot wait to go back - would recommend to everyone. ”

“This was a perfect Moroccan stay! A beautiful and private property with the kindest staff imaginable. Mohammed and his team did everything to make me feel at home. I would recommend this property to anyone and will most certainly return again soon! Many Thanks!”

“Very nice.”

“We had a great time in the Riad Zaouia 44: a relaxing oasis in the exciting hustle and bustle of the city. Very nice reduced and homogeneous design and the tagines of the house were the tastiest we ate during our 5 day stay in the city. Moha and his super friendly and nice team were extremely hospitable and always available for helpful advice. We recommend to use the pick up service from the airport. By taxi this can quickly become adventurous... A la prochaine fois!”

“The staf is great! The house is really baultiful very well decorated but needs renovations. ”

“The riad is very far,about 30 min walk by the easy route.But navigating through the souks is a bit daunting but w/ a gps app you can get there eventually.The riad isn’t well signed & no no. on the entrance doors & being pestered by the local kids offering help to get there through a longer route isn’t very settling.All these is compensated by the Riad beautiful architecture & the nice staff.They’ve taken a simplistic approach to the Moroccan style w/ clean hints of the Moroccan ornamentation.The bedroom we stayed in looked very sleek & contemporary.Our room didn’t have any locks, which we found a bit strange.There was no tv in the room,it didn’t bother us, but others may think differently.The shower was great but the water hitting the floor can be very noisy to others as most of the surface are just concrete & very echoing.We felt that the sheets weren’t well cleaned as I had running nose & sneezing due to the dust-mites.We must comment about the safe which isn’t bolted to anything,so I wouldn’t recommend leaving money in the safe as it can be taken w/ no problem. There is only one bin in the room, which we used in the W.C., leaving us to use plastic bags or cotton bags(which is largely used in Marrakech)to discard rubbish.We appreciate the minimalist looks of the riad but acoustic treatment solutions are much needed as during our stay some guests had children & we could hear a lot of banging & stumping noises throughout the day so falling asleep was a challenge. ”

“Beautiful Riad but needs some updating and a good cleaning in places. Difficult to find but manager came out to meet our taxi and gave map and cell number in case we got lost. "Welcome dinner" ad fireplace on first night were lovely. Quite chilly in morning. A bit concerning that room is not locked when we were out.”

“Lovely Riad in a silent area. Beatuiful rooms, friendly and helpful staff. In End of November it was cold in the mornings having breakfast outside. ”
