We had a great stay in the Riad, the structure is beautiful, clean and staff warm and ready to assist in any need. Appreciated the guest book with useful indications. A special feature of the neighborhood is the night guardian round the corner, who cooks every night for the locals working in the surroundings. It contirbutes to give a safe, friendly and warm atmosphere, outside the touristic circuit

The Riad is beautiful but some of the areas around it were severely damaged by the earthquake. Walked through/past some dodgy masonry. Allan and M are great hosts but A has not been well and we didn't really get introduced to the Riad itself nor the services they offer - which we would have used more had we known about them. Such an interesting place.

As with all medina properties, the beauty is seen when you cross the threshold. The room was a cosy twin and the communal areas were clean and pleasant. The roof terrace was spacious and is a lovely outdoor space.

The Riad was good and the hosts were exceptional! They were so friendly and helpful that we felt like we were staying with family. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was pretty good. The only issue we had was the aircon was not working in our room. Otherwise, our stay at the Riad was great!

We had a fantastic time staying at the Riad El Zohar and the owners Allan and Malika Crump were the perfect friendly hosts. It is an oasis and hidden gem in the centre of the Medina. Riad is charming and lots of character. Rooftop terrace is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a dinner. Transport to and from the Riad was organised by the hosts and was perfect. Staff were exceptional and the ladies prepared delicious breakfasts etc. Special thanks to Morad who went out of his way to give us an orientation tour of the local area. Thanks to Erradi for his organisation and his humour. Overall a wonderful and authentic experience at Riad El Zohar and very highly recommended.

We arrived slightly earlier than planned but were welcomed by Allan and his staff with open arms. I can't find the words to write how perfect our stay was. The property is beautiful and right in the middle of the action. Allan is very welcoming and his knowledge of the area and local recommendations are amazing. I think we ended up doing almost everything Allan recommended and had such a good time as a result. If you're looking for a place to stay in Marrakech, look no further. You've found the perfect place! We will definitely be back!

Amazing riad.
Amazing riad. Really personable communicate prior to and during the stay and a warm welcome throughout. The room was perfect and well maintained. I was concerned about the location and potential of getting lost as it's so central in the medina but it was easy to navigate back to.

I truly could not have had a better stay. The property is BEAUTIFUL and so well maintained. The staff is the absolute best- so sweet and attentive. My boy, RADI is 10/10. Allan is an absolute gem and provided the best local recommendations- none of them ever disappointed. I cannot say enough good things about this property and these folks- I was a solo traveler, and they really helped in making this a perfect trip. The property itself is very centrally located in the heart of the medina, but still maintains an extraordinary peacefulness. Walkable to the local souks, gardens and my absolute favorite little spot, Cafe Arabe. Beautifully decorated rooms surrounding a gorgeous plunge pool and a relaxing terrace. Absolutely looking forward to staying there again.
