    The location is not the best

    It really value the money, Salhim was super nice with us, we couldn’t find the place and he call me and come to pick up us, as it was during the night and we were lost. Also he prepare a special breakfast for us gluten free and early in the morning because we have to leave.

    A magical riad in the heart of Marrakech

    • Stayed 3 nights

    This is a very nice riad, on a great location. It is very private and it offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The pool is small but more than enough for a quick refreshment in the afternoon or in the evening, the rooms are very nice and clean and the atmosphere is just magical. Air conditioning works great, the terrace is very comfortable to relax in the evening. Breakfast each morning is also nice with freshly squeezed orange juice, and we even got coffee and cacao for the kids. The location is safe and peaceful, close to the city gates and near Jardin Majorelle, but also close on the other side to the main square in Medina. Our pick up locations for the desert trip and cooking class were all just a few minutes away from this riad. There is a supermarket just around the corner and the hosts were very pleasant and helpful. If we went back to Marrakech we would most definitely stay at this riad. It has the most magical appeal - it is in the neighbourhood that people live in, it is not just for tourists, so you can see kids playing football in the streets and there is a market with vegetables, fruit, spices and meat very near by, it is very lovely.

    A peaceful gem in Marrakech – highly recommended! We had a wonderful stay at Riad Zen House. The place is beautiful and full of charm, with a spectacular courtyard that feels like an oasis and a lovely rooftop terrace perfect for relaxing after a day in the city. The team is absolutely fantastic — incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. They really made us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, which changed daily and featured freshly baked local products — a perfect start to the day. The riad is spotlessly clean, peaceful, and has a truly calming atmosphere. The location is a bit tucked away, which actually makes it even more relaxing, and it’s still very convenient to explore other parts of Marrakech, whether by foot or short taxi ride. All in all, a perfect blend of authenticity, comfort, and warm hospitality. We’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in Marrakech!

    The Riad is placed in a quiet area , close enough to the souk Medina, Jardin de Majorelle and parking Bab Yacout, Interiors are cozy and relaxing and the rooftop with sun-chairs is a plus.. I liked the staff attitude to help us with suggestions and services , they really pampered us during our staying. In addition they prepared for us a fantastic Moroccan dinner: at the end of 2 weeks spent in Morocco, the best tajine dinner i had.

    smaller breakfast, the door to the room was making noise since they were moving (not a usual key lock), noise from the street (which is not that busy) - in general were these marginal problems

    A beautiful riad a bit further from the tourist attractions, but overall a good location. We spent only one night but the experience was great. There is a beautiful terrace on the roof, the rooms are equipped well and the staff was always helpful.

    It disappointed us as a Riad, located in a popular neighborhood, and with limited room space. Bad wifi coverage in our room complicated our daily planning. Cats meowing every night.

    The location was at a walking distance from the main attractions inside and outside the medina. The staff was attentive and made a great job. Generous breakfast in a calm atmosphere.

    Nothing at all ! Bell needs a clean in entering the property if I had to say anything ! Oh and getting lost but that’s part of the adventure 🤪

    This hidden oasis of calm is the perfect place to see inside the Medina of Marrakech. Be prepared for utter chaos outside of the door the Riads are a maze of high walled buildings with cats motorbikes demolished buildings & people of Marrakech living their lives but don’t be intimidated by all of this behind the door of Riad Zen ( beautiful ) house is truly that ! Beautiful peaceful calm. The architecture& rooms are amazing birds coming into the open roof ( photos) a paradise from the craziness of the city ! Souks, motorbikes etc . Embrace it all as this is wonderful Marrakesh ! The room was cleaned everyday ! Clean towels & bedding, breakfast was beautiful each morning fresh coffee & Orange juice pastries etc. Nothing was too much trouble. On our last day had a full body massage which was bliss 😊 not a large pool but big enough to cool off and a beautiful roof top terrace to relaxing on. Utterly adored this place even though we did get lost a few times , don’t be intimidated by what you read this place is the friendliest most welcoming city I have visited & I travel a lot 😃

    It would be nice to be able to pay by card. But the manager had no problem waiting for us to get cash and was very flexible. So it is not even a remark, only something that possibly could be added.

    On the last day, other guests having an early breakfast were loud and woke us up (it would have been helpful for the staff to ask them be keep their voices down with an early breakfast)

    Enormous breakfast and flexibility around when it was served. Generally it was between 9 - 10am but we had it at 7:30am one time, and 7:00am another time because we had booked excursions.

    It could be a bit noisy, but just because we were in the Medina so it's normal. Otherwise, we didn't find anything that we didn't like.

    The breakfast was great and really complete. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were really nice and happy to have us there. It was great to have open space on the ground floor as well as the rooftop.

    Riad location is in a popular zone and no cars go or park there. You have to walk a little bit to take some transportation. This is important specially if you want to do tours and they will pick you up there. Streets are narrow and a little dark. Swimming pool is very tiny.

    Nice breakfast and very good room. All employees are very nice and Mustafá and Suad are excellent. Family atmosphere. Benefit/Cost relation is positive.

    There was maybe a little noise in the room when other people were using the courtyard (because our room was at the ground level), but it never happened at night so it wasn't a problem for us, they seemed very mindful of this.

    The staff was amazing, very attentive, kind and helpful in everything. The room overlooked a courtyard which kept everything nice and cool, and it was beautiful. Everything had a very traditional feel to it but with all the facilities. Although it was necessary to ring the bell to get in, this ensured the security of the hotel and they had no problem with what time we returned. Also, the breakfast was delicious, varied a little every day and they also catered to your needs (e.g. once I was not feeling like coffee and asked for a mint tea and there was no problem) If I go back to Morocco I will definitely choose this hotel again!
