The atmosphere is some of the best I've ever experienced, thanks in large part to the staff. Rachid will make sure you have everything you need, tell you where to get certain products and what is a realistic price for them. The location is great, 2 mins walking from Jamaa El Fna. Rooms are cleaned daily. There are plenty of bathrooms. Breakfast is plentiful and the timing is flexible. Tea and coffee are free all throughout the day. Occasionally, there is a group dinner for the guests for 60 MAD, great taste of Moroccan cuisine and very much worth the price. Highly recommended overall!

One of the good thinga i loved about Riad Dia was the Tub/Small Pool you can enjoy during the hot days and we were even chilling around it during the late night while having a gd talk with other travelers. I liked the location aswell it is close to almost everything. And The man in charge was Nice.

Amazing location just in the heart of Medina ! Great value for the money ! You really wont find any other place that close to the main square at this price! The hostel is colourful with a tree inside, be sure to visit all the bathrooms before taking a shower / some of them are way nicer than the others ! There is a nice roof top pity nothing happens there and the hostel is missing some social life.

Very close to the main square, but tucked away in a corner to be quiet enough. Breakfast was delicious. Chill vibe. Luggage storage after checkout was excellent. Clean bath towels were available to use for free, which was useful.

The staff was very friendly, they were serving mint tea for free all the time. They even served couscous for a dinner for free. The Riad is very beautiful, the main area isvery chill. The rooftop is outstanding, very good for gathering in the evenings. I reckon it is a very good place to stay for solo travelers.

Very nice location, close to the central square but also other attractions, you can easily walk to any place of interest. The staff picked us up from the taxi that brought us from the airport and walked with us the short way from the drop-off to the hostel. All of the staff members are very, very friendly, they help you with everything, and as soon as you come back from an exhausting day, tea is gonna be served for free. The breakfast was quite tasty and brought to you quickly. The beds are comfortable, a fresh towel is provided every single day. The bathrooms are good, water was warm and I never had to queue up for the shower or the toilet. Definitely check out the amazing terrace on top with comfortable sitting areas. All in all, this hostel is more than recommended!

Guests are allowed to stay on the lobby the whole night, and of course the noise is heard on the rooms and the kitchen is a totally messy, if you have intention to cook something, forget about it. They don't have lockers and sometimes hot water in the showers.
Staffs are super friendly and kind, an amazing rooftop, cleanness on the rooms, free towels and sheets.

Rashid was amazing and so generous with his time. From check out to check in he was always available to help (even though he was very busy) he made a great vibe paying great music and always having tea for you as soon as you walk in the door. The location is great and the guys working There will point you in the right direction should you need a SIM card, snacks or a good place to eat. The pool is not filled all year round so know that or ask before you book

No cons.
I stayed two nights in this Riad during my trip to Marrakesh. Clean, well maintained and organized. Zaccaria came to pick me up when I left the cab coming from the airport. Atrencious staff, helpful and willing to help at any moment. Definitely one of my best experiences in Marrakesh. Strongly recommend if you want a great location, make friends and feel at home. Whenever I come to Marrakesh Riad Dia is my first stop.
