Very beautiful riad hidden in the old Medina. The hosts were very welcoming and made sure our staying was as comfortable as possible. The rooms were spacious and clean. On our departure day we had to leave around 6.45am to take a tour and the hosts volunteered to make breakfast for us at 6am in the morning. We really appreciated the hospitality we experienced there.

Okay with room for improvement
The staff were hospitable and helpful. We arrived to a lovely tea and cookies and Hassan gave us a map and gave us good explanation on some of the main attractions. Unfortunately, our room was disappointing. Upon entering, there were two floor cushions that were very dirty with visible. The rug was dirty and the towels looked dingy. There was nowhere to put suitcases except the floor. The shower didn’t drain, so after five minutes, you had water up to your ankles.
Excellent customer service. All the staffs are Very Friendly, patient and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you for making our stay pleasant.
We had a wonderful stay in this tranquil place set in the heart of Marrakesh. Samira and her team made the whole experience so easy, and couldn’t do enough for us! The room we were in was ideal, and opened up onto the central courtyard which was just great! We can not fault any part of our stay, and would recommend this Riad to anyone
The aesthetics of the Riad look beautiful, but sadly it was all lost due to incompetent management and communication. We lost a nights sleep and spent a day back and forth trying to resolve the issue with the house 'manager' trying to contact the owner. Given the numerous available Raids in Marrakesh, you are better off finding one that can resolve an issue when it arises.
Do not hesitate to book this Dar. It is stunningly beautiful, clean and provides the most welcome respite from the intensity of Marrakech. The staff are very friendly, accomodating and do their utmost to assist. The Dar is also very well located - it is in walking distance of the main square and Le Hardin Secret. It is also located close to a palace which means the area is well patrolled. I stayed here with a female friend and we both felt safe and secure. Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again!
Beautiful Riad the is centrally located yet very quiet and peaceful. Stayed for two nights. We were provided with tons on helpful information in advance as well as priceless information while there. Absolutely lovely. Will return
I cannot fault the riad. Our stay was absolutely amazing and all of the staff were so helpful and friendly. Particularly Rachid (Rashid?) who was very attentive and courteous. The room was lovely (we stayed in the twin bed Berber suite) and the central courtyard was so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was a good selection and good portion sizes, served whenever you were ready. The instructions sent to me after I booked the hotel were detailed and gave great tips for the area and also how to find the riad. We arranged airport transfers which were easy and convenient. Rachid came to meet us from our drop off which made it lots easier to find. The riad had excellent wifi and a bar service, including alcohol. It was well-located as it didn't take long to walk to the Koutoubia mosque and central square. It was even closer to souks which you could walk right into. It felt safe enough - it doesn't matter where you are in the city, you need to keep your wits about you. We were two unaccompanied females, and felt totally safe in the riad. We encountered a problem with our pre-booked trip and the riad staff were so helpful in trying to sort it for us, allowing us to use their phone to call the local company and tried to sort another trip out to replace the one that went wrong (we didn't need it in the end). Absolutely brilliant and would recommend it to anyone.
Beautiful and peaceful riad in a great location. We did not want to leave! Breakfast was wonderful and Rasheed and Samira were always there to help. It felt like we were staying with family!
Place was lovely, well decorated and very quiet at night. Breakfast was delicious and staff super friendly. Place was clean and you could tell that the owners really took good care of the place. 15 min walk to the Jemma al Fna. Hotel signage from the drop off point would be helpful.
Our stay at Dar Charkia was perfect. Rasheed was really kind and helpful to us during our time in Marrackech. The place is quaint and makes for a lovely time in an otherwise bustling city.
We had a great stay at Dar Charkia. The staff was amazing and it truly was an oasis from the chaos of the city. The breakfast was amazing too. We dined one night for dinner, the meal was really good but a bit on the pricey side. The only downside to our stay was that the shower in the bathroom had limited hot water so you had to take quick showers and it was hard to contain the water from reaching the bathroom floor which always left it wet. We often put our towels down to soak up the water and then found them hanging again so not sure if they were laundered. Aside from that, a great stay.
Great experience! On arrival we were greeted with delicious virgin lychee mojitos with ice made from mineral water. Staff was very courteous and helpful, especially when I was not feeling well. Everything was sparkling clean including the awesome waterfall shower. My only complaints is that the AC in our room didn't work super well and the wifi was pretty poor. We stayed at two different riads while we were in Marrakesh and this one was superior by far!
A quiet environment that makes you feel relaxed once stepping into the riad, away from the hustle and bustle of the streets of Medina. And not to mention the great breakfast they serve.
The stay was very good with excellent staff especially Sammi and Rashid and wonderful breakfasts which changed daily.
The Riad was cold because of the time of year, but the convector heater was governed and the air conditioning heat kept switching off so our room remained very cold.
The terrace was beautiful and the patio was furnished and decorated in local style.
Our room floor and bathroom floor was in need of attention.
Our overall impression of the Riad was good but Dar Charkia appears a little tired in need of some TLC.
Great location for restaurants and the souks
I highly recommend this Riad. The decor is fabulous. They welcome you with home made cookies and tea. It is very well located as well. I would definitely go back.
