Hotel review

English owned and run, Riad Dar Zaman offers a very Moroccan welcome! Here you'll find traditional decor featuring Berber rugs and cushions, plus original handcrafted pieces in all the rooms. With only four rooms (and no children allowed under 12) you are guaranteed an intimate stay, but equally you can take over the entire property for a break to remember. Food is gourmet Moroccan with freshly prepared daily changing dishes featuring ingredients sourced from local markets and farmers. Chef, Karima, also offers cookery lessons; she'll take you to the souk, help you select some goodies, then teach you how to make them into something delicious. Outside you can relax and enjoy the views (over the medina and to the Atlas Mountains) from the sun terrace and if it gets too hot you can cool off in the courtyard plunge pool. Come here for a taste of Marrakech that certainly won't break the bank.

Riad Dar Zaman is in the heart of the old historical city (medina), within easy walking distance of the main attractions - the souks, historical monuments, spas, cafés and restaurants.

Our breakfasts include hummus, avocado, olive tapenade, fresh fruit, natural yoghurt, eggs, Moroccan pancakes, bread, jams, almond nut butter, fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee and tea. For vegans we provide alternatives to the eggs and yoghurt. Gluten-free available. Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? We offer delicious lunches and dinners freshly prepared with locally grown seasonal produce. There are several excellent restaurants within easy walking distance of Dar Zaman and our team can make recommendations and take care of reservations for you.

What Dar Zaman may lack in size it makes up for in heart, with extraordinary personal attention from Peter, Hassan and Karima....
