    It is very comfortable and good traditonal maroce house. The staff was very friendly and helpful they understand anythging, Mohammed and Amin. As well the owner Sobha gave me very warm welcome and goodbye. I felt there as I am between my family and in my house.

    This was a pretty cool spot, my room was a cleverly converted tent on the rooftop into a single bedroom complete with ensuite. I only gave a slightly less rating for the cleanliness because although I felt the place was fairly well kept overall, there was a lingering smell from either the carpet... more

    wasnt the best start to a new country and was very disappointed in the staff as they made it out to be all our fault when clearly they had the wrong prices on hostelworld, which we cant really control!! so just check before arriving that what you are suppossed to pay you wil be paying!! but apart...

    Se trata de un bonito Riad situado al lado de la muralla de la medina, aunque un poco escondido para encontrarlo la primera vez. Esta a 15-20 minutos de la plaza Djemma el-Fna y al lado de la estación de autobuses. Nos toco una habitación sin aire acondicionado (nos dejaro un ventilador),... more

    Very good Riad, Sobha was a very good hostess and the breakfast delicious!. The location is very weird but once you have already settle down in Marrakech is very easy to get. Is near of a Internet Cafe, banks, taxis and bus. I really recommend it!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dar Salam. The location was perfect; it's right around the corner from the central bus station of Marrakech, in the Medina. It was like walking into a mini palace; a peaceful oasis in the centre of all the action. The staff were very friendly and the owner, Sobha... more

    Very friendly staff, but knowing some French is an advantage. The riad is not located in the touristy part of the Medina, but in a more local area and close to the bus station. In general, we had a good time there!

    Absolutely beautiful riad (small hotel) away from the craziness and tourist hub but still in the medina. The neighbourhood is full of locals but the souks and all the action are easily and enjoyably walkable. One of the best showers I've had - so hot! The landlady is lovely, although the other...

    A nice hostel, friendly owner. Still in the Medina, but on the outskirts of the absloute inner Medina. Great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place and don't mind to walk a bit. Very conveniently located just beside the main Bus station.

    Very nice guest house with charming staff and faultless cleanliness in a traditional maroccan riad. The house is very quiet in a popular part of the city at 15mn away from Jamma Efna place. We've appreciated the stay and will return as soon as possible !!!

    This is a fairly basic but homely and comfortable place that is a good deal for the price. Though it's not that central it is a very convenient location if you want easy access to both the central Medina and the Ville Nouvelle.
