This is a brilliant place to stay. It’s right in the heart of everything. The staff are really helpful. We stayed in Scherezade, a lovely room with its own terrace, just be aware it’s at the top of 3 flights of stairs.

Absolutely stunning property if you want to stay in an authentic Morroccon property. The pictures don't really do the property justice. The staff at the property was very friendly and the restaurant next door had amazing food. The location is excellent, a few minutes from both the sqaures in the market. Absolutely worth staying and well worth your money.

This review is very, very late as we stayed in January/February. We absolutely loved this riad! The staff were fantastic. They were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast each morning was wonderful and it was the best orange juice we've ever had! We especially liked coming back to the riad in the afternoon for some mint tea on the patio before heading back out sightseeing. During our 2 weeks in Morocco we travelled around the country a bit, but we couldn't wait to get back to Marrakech and to Dar Essalam. We had dinner in the restaurant our last night and the staff pulled out all the stops and we truly felt like VIPs. We loved it and the staff were truly wonderful. It was a great stay!

Amazing Riad in Marrakech

We have stayed at a lot of hotels and this is definitely one of the best. We stayed at The Royal Suite for 5 nights. The Royal Suite is spacious. The Riad is beautiful, location is great, but what made it so special was everyone at the hotel was amazing, especially Soumia. From day1 when she checked us in, she gave detail information about Marrakech, helped us book local tour and went above and beyond to make our stay special.

The room was beautiful and spaces. We love it a lot. The restaurant in the hotel is fantastic! Best Tagine we had in Morocco. The staffs speak very good English and very helpful! The room was always cleaned nicely and on time. The only disappointment was that the terrace was in renovations and we didn’t have a common area to hang out.

In the heart of the Medina you are close to everything. A very short walk to get a taxi. The rooms look like the photos. You will not be disappointed. You do have to walk up and downstairs. Service staff are excellent and friendly.

Moroccan Dream Riad

Loved this riad. Staff super friendly and kind, Royal Suite off the chart. Great location only a few minutes walk from the action. We arrived at the end of Ramadan and celebrations were in full swing. The restaurant next door was buzzing. We arrived late evening, popped in for a drink and felt like we had been transported to another world. Belly Dancing, candle dancing and music. Fantastic.

My wife uses a mobility scooter and the hotel was located in a great area. The staff allowed us to leave the fold up scooter behind the reception desk so we did not have to carry it upstairs. Breakfasts were excellent, staff helpful and chatty. Very historic riad, the roof terrace is currently being renovated but the potential is there. The views around the riad were atmospheric. Good shower and biscuits and fruit provided in your room. We are planning to come back next year but maybe earlier in March as weather started to get a little too hot.

Everything about the hospitality and room was excellent. The staff were always on hand to help and nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the Luxury Room which was spacious, comfortable and decorated nicely. However (and this is the only reason for leaving a star off the rating) it is situated beneath the roof terrace which is popular and has a bar open until 11pm. We did invest in some earplugs and they helped somewhat. If you are out anyway until late at night enjoying Marrakech then this won’t be an issue for you!

Our 2 night stay at Riad Dar Es Salam was fantastic. We stayed in the Royal Suite and the name was absolutely apt. The mosaic on the walls and the wood paneling on the ceiling along with the staff’s attention made it a place we would highly recommend. Soumia who was the person at the front desk was probably the best customer service person we have interacted with in all our travels across the world. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to help us be comfortable and well informed was amazing. Thank you again Soumia and Dar Es Salam staff for providing us a great time in Marrakech.
