Reviews of Riad dar Malak

Very friendly and welcoming caretakers! They were very helpful throughout my stay and accommodated my request for luggage storage and last minute taxi. Place really feels like home as opposed to just any other hostel, because the people are like family :)

I spent one night at this home to sleep off the jet lag, nothing more. The fan in the room and the silent environment was welcome. There is also a sunny terrace to sit on at the top. The hostel was kept very clean. The breakfast was delicious, typical Moroccan breakfast with coffee, which they had on hand. I was also offered the use of the bathroom on each floor, as the bathroom on the bottom floor was very small. The water was hot.

This home is in the middle of the Madina, and as such, I was followed to the door, and begged for money. There was no filtered water at the home, because the administrator thought that if the locals can drink the water, then the foreign tourists, should as well. Ridiculous response to the question about where the filtered water was located. The closest store that had bottled water, about 250 meters away, shorted me change. Not a tourist friendly location. Furthermore, these "Riads" are peoples' homes, and as such, all their feelings about foreigners and women travelling alone come out, when in reality, they should play no role. As such, I arrived 30 minutes before check-in, was offered an orientation of Marrakesh, which I said that I didn't need, and then I was denied the check-in until the clock hit exactly 1:00pm, a very nasty response. When I politely greeted the other family members in passing, I was glared at.

The place is located on a good place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and only 15 min walk to the place jamaa el fena

It’s all perfect

A very clean hostel, they even serve a small breakfast. Hot shower. Nice personal.

Just maybe a bit the location, but it's still manageable to walk to Medina by foot

Calm and quiet place ,highly recommend

Beautiful and calm place to stay I recommend it

Nice riad, quiet space away from the busiest areas of Marrakech and some small places to talk to people, fantastic value for money and good breakfast

It is very clean place and quiet. The bed was really good not too soft or too hard and I got a good night sleep. It is a little walk to the city center like 15 mins but worth the peacefulness of the area. I like it as it is far from the noise, chaos and circus of city center Jamaa El Fnaa. The caretaker Otman are great staff making sure your comfort is their concern. They brought or bought brand new fans when I complained about the heat. As the AC unit has not been installed. I recommend this place also safe neighborhood as i goo hone from late tours or night stroll at city center.

None

The breakfast was made for each person and served nicely in a friendly atmosphere. The location was not easy to find initally and the Riad needs better signage. Staff were very accommodating and pleasant.

Like all the other old places we have stayed the bathrooms are not of the standard we would like, most have wet floors all the time.A

I would like to thank the hosts Othman and Farid for welcoming me and helping me find my way. The place is nice and clean.

the staff was so kind and helpful and the price was amazing!

i have no complaints but would be nice if there were more amenities like towels, shower products etc.

excellent

The beds were large and it was clean. I think it was a wonderful hostel accommodation for its value.

Only downside was I organised through the hostel my shuttle- the manager was wonderful but the transfer company was 20 mins late which was very stressful getting to the airport.
