    The staff were excellent and the location is on the edge of the medina but easy to walk to all the attractions. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this riad.

    The Riad is very nice, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, close to all main sights. There is a great rooftop terrace and even a jaccuzzi. The breakfast was amazing too. Highly recommend!

    Dar Khmissa looks and feels like the real deal if you are looking for an authentic Moroccan stay.

    What could have been better? Well this isn't a polished five star Ritz Palace. Sure some amount of money could be spent on renovations. The stairs in particular are challenging. Narrow, railingless, steps of different heights and width. You could look at that as imperfections but I feel like it is part of the charm of the place. Also being at the end of the alley can give you an uneasy feeling if you are used to a retreat on a tropical isle, but everywhere we went we found the local people to be friendly and helpful, never threatening nor surly.

    Location - In one way the location was excellent because of the proximity to both the medina and historical buildings south of there. On the other hand it is a the very end of a dead end alley. That was a bit intimidating for newcomers to Morocco arriving to the riad past midnight. That said, said we did not have to walk the alley alone. Instead Mohammed left the riad to come great us at our taxi in a nearby street. He insisted on picking up our luggage and led us back to the riad. As the perfect host he showed us our room but then took us to the rooftop for a relaxing sweet tea and a chance to look out over the medina before heading off to bed. Breakfast the next morning was plenty of Moroccan dishes already in place on the breakfast table while staff were there to pour coffee or offer up more food from the kitchen. Delightful. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for local character in your lodging this is the place. Unlike any place I have stayed in the states or in Europe I felt like our Moroccan adventure began here.

    Lovely riad with lovely people!
    • Leisure trip

    Be prepared that riad has super thin walls, so you can easily hear your neighbours in the next room. There are about 4 or 5 rooms in total, so it was never loud or disturbing. But still we got the feeling you need to whisper in your own room when get back late at night, as neighbours sleeping. Another tiny issue is that you need to ring a bell when getting back to riad, as you are not given an entrance key. There was never a problem of waiting for too long for door to open, but when coming late it felt a bit inconvenient.

    Location of riad is perfect - very easy to find as it is near the big road, but at the same time on a small and quiet street, which you need very much after returning from the chaos of Medina. Decorations of the common area and room is very much Moroccan style, so it was lovely. Breakfast was simple, but still delicious. But it is all about the people - Nourdin helped us with transfers, showed us on where to go, and in general was very nice to communicate with. Special appreciation to the cleaning stuff, room was cleaned everyday!

    It’s located within the old city so close to all the attractions but not so close that you can’t get away from the endless hustle and bustle. It’s clean and the atmosphere is great

    We really feel greatful to have found this Riad, we were so warmly welcomed and had such a nice stay. It's a cosy place, wonderfully decorated with love and much detail. Most of the places you might want to visit are in walking distance. It is just around the corner from Jema el-Fnaa place and the Souk, but yet very quiet at any time. Vincent and his team made sure that we felt in good hands, every single moment. He gave us tips for our stay and helped with organizing a tour to the Agafay desert. The roof terrace is inviting for a rest after a day in the city, even so good restauants and rooftop bars are just aroud the corner. The breakfast was abundant and different every day. Everything tasty and home made, I just regret I didn't take a picture of the breakfast table. Thanks a lot, Vincent and team!

    I had some trouble locking my door but everytime it happened, a member of staff came to help.

    The Riad is beautiful and the staff were extremely attentive and on hand whenever we needed. They helped us arrange taxis to the airport, gave restaurant recommendations and showed us where the nearest atm was, for example. The Riad is in a great location just inside the walls of the Medina and we liked being in walking distance of everything but not being right in the centre. It was fairly quiet at night and the bed was very comfy. The roof terrace is especially nice to come back to and relax after a busy day walking and shopping.

    When someone in another room was using water, pressure in my bathroom was suddenly dropping. But it's a minor, the room exceeded my expectations.

    The breakfast was nice, everything was fresh and tasty. Hotel is completely silent, it is located very close to busy street and yet you hear nothing. Connection from/to airport is very easy with pubic bus.

    Dar Khmissa is my favorite place to stay in Marrakech. It looks beautiful, it always smells so nice. Rooms are not big but equipped with everything you need. The staff is excellent and go out of their way to fulfill your needs. I was really sick and because of their efforts i felt soooo much better. They are the best.

    Nothing. We loved everything there and look forward to our next trip back.

    Riad Dar Khmissa has become our home away from home. The staff, Abdou, Maria and Brahim, were wonderful and we had the best time there. We both took advantage of the special hammam and massage spa treatment with Yasin, and felt more than refreshed - invigorated afterwards. The calm and quiet of Dar Khmissa couldn't contrast more with the noise, hustle and bustle of the city.

    The riad is nice and clean and in a perfect location. The terrace is super nice and relaxing and if you happen to have dinner here, not only you will enjoy the view on the Moroccans roofs and surroundings but you’ll get to eat very delicious food - actually one of the best food we had in Marrakech. Breakfast is also very very good!!! But what we enjoyed the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - they did make the difference for our stay, all of them!But a special thanks goes to Tariq for going the extra mile and making our stay absolutely perfect!

    It was loud till late night (2 am) - the room was not soundproof at all. Had not chance to use the bathtub as the group of friends had alcohol party next to it/in it till 2 am. - slightly upsetting when you think that this facility justifies the price rate. Only one staff member communicated in English.

    Very good location. Warm and kind staff.
