We really enjoyed staying at the beautiful Zampa Riad. The staff were attentive, kind, and helpful in every way. Rachida made us delicious breakfasts every morning. Abou was kind, friendly, and pleasant to talk to. We provided everything we needed at the Riad. Thank you

The riad is located in a small alley near the medina, and there are some children and young adults who will attempt to be your "tour guide" to get you back to the riad in exchange for money for them and their friends. A simple "la shakran" is usually enough to get them to back off.

The staff were helpful and hospitable, the rooms were lovely, and the food was good. It's a relaxing place to stay. I loved the terrace area at the top, and there's a sweet housecat that may join you for breakfast on the terrace!

Abdoul from the staff was very helpful and kind. The Riad is a little hard to find and I had trouble finding the nearest parking lot because of a Google Maps error, but Abdoul came to meet me where I was stranded, helped me get to the parking and then walked with me to the Riad, also helping with the baggage. Room and bathroom were very nice, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was good. <it takes a little walking to get to the main tourist attractions, but the Riad itself is excellent and well priced. I would not hesitate to book it again if I return to Marrakech.

The riad was very pretty, and in a good quiet location at the north end of the medina. The manager, Abdul, was super friendly and very helpful. We would definitely come back here to stay again.

One of the three single beds was very uncomfortable.

We were looked after by Abdul, who went the extra mile to ensure we had the best stay possible. His service alone was enough to make us feel we would be very happy staying there again. The breakfast was delicious, and the location is an easy 20ish minute walk into the centre. We found it was nice to have the centre within walking distance, but not too close that it was too loud. The room was very clean and was serviced daily.

Personally I didn't have any problems with the narrow foot paths which share the same route for both walkers & motorcyclists into the centre from this location. Shared walking & motorcycling space is characteristic to Marrakech & so too this neighbourhood. The locals are tuned into tourists on foot but if you are of a nervous disposition or unsteady on your feet then this location may not be for you. Personally I loved this as part of the authentic adventure & experience of Marrakech - so different from our very well defined highways!!

From the moment I arrived at this Riad I felt I had hit the jackpot! The daily warm welcome of the hospitable staff was very special, my bedroom & ensuite were beautiful, the food was varied and of a high standard, the facilities felt spacious, I loved the terrace for morning & evening meals, the inside dining spaces were beautiful too. The photos don't do the beautiful interior and exterior space justice. I loved staying in the heart of a neighbourhood, mingling amongst local folks going about their daily routines, children on their school commute, others returning from the local Souk family shopping trip or just chatting on street corners. All ages at all times of day, evening & night, walking & motorcycling about. I found the location to be friendly, authentic & entirely safe. The surrounding area may feel run down but the locals are 'the salt of the earth' and only a smile or hello away from making you feel welcome amongst them. They readily reciprocate your interest in them, just a hello in passing on route is all that is required to feel at home. I LOVED my daily commute in & out of the characteristically gentle bustle of this neighbourly area. Once you get into the heart of Marrakech the pace is busy and necessarily slow so I loved the good 20-30 minute stretch of a walk in, with plenty to entertain the senses on route. So much quieter than being in the touristy centre too. A beautiful end of day retreat to this peaceful Riad. It was tricky remembering my route to & from my location because of so many (wonderfully intricate) paths turning left & right but that is all part of the authentic charm of this ancient Medina location. Google Maps was essential for finding my route in & out each day. There are also good Riad speciific signage nearer the final location to guide you in too. Keep your phone charged & you'll be fine.

Bed was a little hard and pillow on the tall side.

Excellent breakfast. Quiet environment on the terrace. We unfortunately had a cancelled flight, so we contacted Isabella and she kindly gave us a free meal as compensation despite not needing to do so as we had booked through 3rd party and not directly with her.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riad Dar Zampa in Marrakech, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the riad's beautiful design and peaceful atmosphere—a true oasis in the heart of the city. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the incredible hospitality. Abdoul, the hotel manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His warmth, attentiveness, and knowledge of the local area made my visit extra special. He even arranged some fantastic tours for me, which were well-organized and gave me a wonderful glimpse into the beauty and culture of Marrakech. The rooms were spotlessly clean, a testament to the riad's impeccable standards. The food was absolutely delicious—each meal felt like a lovingly prepared experience of Moroccan flavours. And I can’t forget Bella, the sweet and friendly riad cat, who added an extra touch of charm to my stay! If you're visiting Marrakech and looking for a charming, welcoming, and authentic experience, Riad Dar Zampa is the perfect choice. A huge thank you to Abdoul, Bella, and the rest of the team for making my stay so memorable. I can't wait to return!

I don't post these as 'negatives' per se - just for others awareness of some things to consider. - mattresses were a little on the firm side and the beds were a little creaky. - as much as I loved the location, as it's situated outside the main tourist area in a more local area, you're around 15min walk from restaurants in the evening (if you're not eating at the Riad). You're around 35-40min walk to Jemaa el-fna square, but it's pretty enjoyable (and sometimes exhausting) stroll through the souks.

Had a fantastic stay at Riad Dar Zampa. I wanted somewhere with a terrace that I could sit and do a bit of work from during the mornings and then use as a base to explore Marrakech later in the day - RDZ ticked all those boxes! Lovely authentic Riad feel with great decor and a relaxed, peaceful, and homely atmosphere. A special mention to the staff at the Riad for making my stay extra enjoyable - the place was spotlessly clean, and the food was delicious. (Make sure you eat at the Riad during your stay, the couscous is fantastic!). Abdou is an absolute credit to the Riad - friendly, helpful, always on hand to assist, and most importantly a really great guy to chat with. I had read a few negative comments about the location to the Riad in comparison to some others, however with RDZ being in the Northern end of the Medina away from the main tourist trails it gave me the authentic and peaceful experience I was hoping for. I loved that it was nestled in amongst homes for many local families, and that to get some snacks or drinks I could go to one of a few 'hole-in-the-wall' small shops nearby to practice my very rusty French with the shopkeepers. I can understand some of the comments from people about the area perceptiona little unsafe - but this was far from my own experience. Everybody I met was very pleasant (just local families living their lives!). Yes there's a few groups of kids around who maybe want to make a few Dirham from you by 'showing you the way' to where you're going - but you'll get that everywhere in the Medina. Around RDZ I got the impression the kids just liked practicing their English/French with you and chancing their luck that they might be able to make a little pocket money! Another special mention to Bella the cat. I'm not usually a 'cat person' - but Bella and I were best of friends by the end of my stay!

Rough surrounding area for tourist, but nothing to do with the Riad itself.

Abdelhak was the most helpful person I’ve met so far. He was very nice and polite and went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable. He made sure we had everything we need and more. He made our trip 10x better! We also want to thank the women for the delicious breakfast and make sure everything was clean. Thank you again! Armani and Stephan

The breakfast was not what I expected, bread and marmalade… terrace full of bees. No extra lock for once you’re inside or leaving the room

It was clean and welcoming

Close to medina, excellent breakfast on the terrace everyday. The dinner was also very good, best tajin I had in Morocco. Abdul was an excellent host and made us feel right at home, was always happy to give advice.
