We arrived slightly earlier than planned but were welcomed by Allan and his staff with open arms. I can't find the words to write how perfect our stay was. The property is beautiful and right in the middle of the action. Allan is very welcoming and his knowledge of the area and local recommendations are amazing. I think we ended up doing almost everything Allan recommended and had such a good time as a result. If you're looking for a place to stay in Marrakech, look no further. You've found the perfect place! We will definitely be back!

Amazing riad.
Amazing riad. Really personable communicate prior to and during the stay and a warm welcome throughout. The room was perfect and well maintained. I was concerned about the location and potential of getting lost as it's so central in the medina but it was easy to navigate back to.

Property was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The weather was great and a fridge in the room would’ve been nice to keep drinks cool. No option of a tv either

Wonderful riad right in the centre of the Medina. Everything is very walkable. The owners Allan and his wife are wonderful hosts who really care about their guests. When we arrived he spent over an hour explaining the area and giving recommendations. Then he walked us over to the cafe for lunch so we wouldn’t get lost! Once you get used to the area it’s surprisingly simple to find your way around. Do not hesitate to book this property. The staff are also very welcoming.

As charming as this property is, it is the personal touch of the staff that made my stay so special, and left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I entered, I was treated like family, and seated at the table for delicious Moroccan mint tea, while the charming proprietor explained the history, art, and architecture of the place, as well as to offer help with any reservations I might be looking to make. My room was lovely, with a bathroom nearly as big as the bedroom itself. The way a riad is arranged allowed me to meet some of the other guests, which I enjoyed, as well as to allow more interaction with the staff, all of whom are wonderful. The rooftop was my favorite part of the riad, so much so that I chose to have dinner up there, where I enjoyed a succulent meal provided for by the staff's excellent cooks. The riad was quiet, safe, and charming, but I can't say enough about the staff. I will always remember them. I was even escorted early in the morning to my awaiting airport transfer, just to make sure I was safe. Thank you for the fantastic riad experience.

This was a real gem. The riad was beautiful and centrally located, the 5 course banquet was a great introduction to Moroccan cuisine and I was very well looked after by Allan who went the extra mile. I highly recommend staying here.

The historic riad is beautiful and our room was clean and comfortable. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Allan is a genial host with an extensive local knowledge; arranging transfers and providing a crash course on how to best negotiate this wonderful and complex city, which included a brief walking tour Services included booking tables for us at recommended restaurants though the meals at the riad were the best dinners we ate in the city. Also, we gained so many tips from the excellent cooking class. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to come back soon.

Great Value for Money
This was a gem of a Riad in the middle of Marrakech. It was centrally located, and had such warm and welcoming staff. It was great value for money and would definitely recommend staying here!

Riad El Zohar We have just returned from a wonderful stay with Allan and his amazing team at Riad Al Zohar. The location, at the heart of the Medina makes it a haven of tranquility. Previous reviews and the Riads own website say it all. The Riad is charming, very comfortable and steeped in history. However, it is Allan’s vivacity, encyclopaedic knowledge and meticulous attention to detail which completes the experience. His excellent advice on restaurants and how to enjoy Marrakech was invaluable. Do ask his team to assist with any bookings. The support Team at El Zohar, particularly Eraddy, are efficient and inobtrusively attentive - thank you all. I thoroughly recommend the breakfast and if you can draw yourself away from the plethora of excellent restaurants, do book a quiet meal (in advance) in the Riad

This was our first trip to Morocco. But the team at Riad El Zohar made it such an enjoyable trip. They made us feel like we were right at home in this small Riad. Loved the security and being a part of this small family for a few days. Reminded me of our ancestor homes back from our country. I fell in love with mint tea and having such a delicious breakfast was such a treat to start our day. While the area around the Riad is hard to figure out, we were able to safely get around and get back and forth from the plaza and the shopping. Thank you all for a lovely time and for making our trip to Marrakech so enjoyable.

10/10 Exceptional

I don't usually write reviews of ordinary hotels, but Riad El Zohar is not an ordinary place! Like most riads inside the medina, it is reached by a walk through narrow alleys off the main drag – once through the door from the street you are in a wonderful Tardis-like space. The photos underestimate the quality and beauty. The mastermind of the operation (Dr Who?) is actually Allan Crump, a most affable and friendly Londoner who has created a masterpiece -five beautiful rooms with traditional Moroccan furnishings, but with all mod cons (no TV, but excellent wifi). Allan is most helpful and a fount of knowledge about what to do and where to go. His wonderful team keep the place going – cooking, cleaning and looking after the guests. Very strongly recommended – we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
