    Central location, clean, wonderful staff, great breakfast included

    Smallish room and bed

    Property response:

    Dear Donald, Thank you for your feedback. We are surprised to read your comment about the size of the room and the bed. Firstly, because it is exactly the size indicated in the description and secondly, because the average size of rooms in riads in Marrakech is 14 m². Ours, including the bathroom, is nearly 25 m², which is well above average. The same goes for the bed. It is a queen size bed measuring 160 x 200 cm, as stated in the description on Booking.com. Perhaps you did not read the whole description? All the best. Sophie & Sam, owners

    A True Gem in the Heart of Marrakesh – Riad Dar Eternity Exceeds Every Expectation From the moment you step into Riad Dar Eternity, you are embraced by warmth, professionalism, and a deep sense of Moroccan hospitality. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of the Medina, this exquisitely run riad is far more than just a place to stay — it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression on your soul. The staff here are truly exceptional. Every single person you encounter demonstrates an inspiring level of professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. They don’t just attend to your needs — they anticipate them. Whether it’s arranging transport, offering local insights, or simply ensuring your comfort, nothing is too much trouble. One of the most impressive things was their willingness to go the extra mile — even sourcing high-quality local products and souvenirs upon request. It’s rare to find such dedication, and it reflects how deeply they care about their guests’ experiences. The cuisine deserves a spotlight of its own. Meals at Dar Eternity are an absolute revelation. Each dish is lovingly prepared with traditional methods and an attention to detail that rivals — and in many cases surpasses — the food served at even the most popular restaurants in Marrakesh. The flavours are rich, authentic, and clearly made with both passion and pride. If you want a true taste of Moroccan culture, do not skip the opportunity to dine in. Every meal feels like an invitation into someone’s home — it’s that personal and heartfelt. Cleanliness is impeccable. Every room and shared space is maintained to the highest standard, a testament to the meticulous care with which the riad is run. The peacefulness and order you find inside contrast beautifully with the buzzing energy of the Medina just outside the door. Riad Dar Eternity is a must for anyone visiting Marrakesh.

We'll pass on your compliments to them too, because they feed off them. It's their energy. Hospitality is an ancestral value in Africa, and in Marrakech in particular.

They made us feel safe and at home, helping with everything we needed including all our bags and gave us a lovely tour of the beautiful riad. We were completely blown away by the stunning view. Khadija prepared amazing food and was incredibly kind. We were just two girls on our first trip to Marrakech, and they made it such a special and unforgettable experience for us.
