Riad Zara is a very quiet place where you can feel at home. During our stay we were experiencing the earthquake and the structure is very solid and not us neither the riad had damages. The host and her staff is very open and friendly, willing to support and make the best suggestion for a nice stay in the city. The area is safe and crowded, we were two women (mother+teenage daughter) and we never felt in danger.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Riad Zara is so charming, comfortable, and clean--a peaceful oasis in the Medina. The STAFF is so kind, helpful, and accommodating. Breakfast was always delicious (our only regret was missing dinners.) You are a bit of a walk away from the center square, but you learn the way pretty quickly, and we loved being able to observe and interact with the locals on our walks. You are also very close to a main door to the Medina which makes drop offs and pick ups very easy if you're doing activities or traveling by taxi. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Riad Zara: you made our time so special <3

Very Good
The room was beautiful, really big, comfortable and clean!! The breakfast was lovely especially having it on the rooftop. Overall the experience in Riad Zara was really nice. The staff are really friendly and Monique was great with answering questions and giving advice in person and over text.
Just as a side note, the location is a 15-20 minute walk away from the main square/ areas.

Host went above and beyond all my expectations! She even borrowed us some dirhams when we showed up late without any cash for dinner. Riad is exceptionally clean and well kept. Everything we wanted or needed was always taken care of! Highly recommend!

The riad looks amazing. The decorations and furniture are tasteful, and showcase Moroccan charm. The inner courtyard (the central part of the riad) is serene and tranquil, with birds chirping away in the shades of the trees above a small pond. All this gives you a splendid place to return to and recharge after a day of exploring the Medina, which is easy to do as the main square is a 15 minute walk away (sometimes more due to the throng of people slowly moving through the streets). It's also easy to access the perimeter wall gates to catch a taxi or a bus to the new part of the city. The rooms look onto the courtyard, which is a staple of the riad, but should be something to consider as you may find yourself shutting your windows to block the chatter from the shared sitting area, which can hinder ventilation and make the room air feel a bit stale. The rooms themselves are cleaned and tidied up every day. They also do not come with a locking mechanism by default (you can ask the hosts for a padlock, which we didn't do as we weren't leaving a lot of valuables in the room - none of our things were touched except to tidy). Monique and Coco were our hosts, and they supported us with great advice and recommendations about what to do and see. As they are both European (but have been living abroad for a long time), they can help explain and navigate the local culture. They are very pleasant, and our talks with them will remain one of the hallmarks of our trip. When it comes to food and drink, the riad serves breakfast and dinner - we did not try the dinner, but we opted for having the breakfast during the whole of our stay. The breakfast is nicely balanced - some fresh juice, yogurt, butter, cheese, a selection of sweet spreads and preserves, bread and/or pastries, and some fresh fruit. You can also choose between local tea and coffee.
The breakfast is very nice, but it is mostly sweet (as it is in most places around Marrakech from what we've seen). There are savory options, like eggs, but they cannot be bought on their own, and are charged as extras (a plain omelette is 3 EUR for instance). This can be problematic if you have a diabetic condition, insulin resistance, or just don't like a sweet breakfast. While I am aware of the extra prep work, I feel that offering a mostly savory alternative would make it even better and more accessible to all guests. It would also be great if the option for breakfast could be booked directly via Booking (this was not available in our case) - just as a convenience to not have to pay the breakfast tally at the end of the stay.

I recommend Riad Zara to anyone staying in Marrakech. When choosing accommodation, I suggested the opinions on booking.com, which were all true. Monique, a wonderful person, runs the Riad. Her support and help during the stay were invaluable. We received a spacious room with a bathroom, cleaned daily. In the morning, we had breakfast at hours adjusted to our daily routine, and in the evenings we sat in a charming corner on the roof of the Riad, enjoying Moroccan mint tea. We had the pleasure of eating the best and biggest tagine in Marrakesh at Monique's. Hope we have a chance to come back here sometime.

The riad has an amazing charm. it was quiet and chill inside, the perfect place to relax after the noisy Marrakech. Monique, the owner, is an amazing host. She offers all the help you might need and gives you all the tips you need to have an excellent stay in the city.
