Amazing stay! The staff was super helpful and the location is in the medina but away from the center so it’s very quiet and serves as a great relaxing break from the bustle of the heart of the medina.

Dreamy Marrekech
Our trip to Marrekech was amazing and Riad Dar Massi made it so. Beautiful Riad, excellent service. Nordine and Adam were very helpful and nice. Nordine always made sure we were safe and walked us to our meeting points when it was before sunrise. Dinner at the Riad was authentic and delicious. Our rooms were lovely and comfortable. Fabulous stay.

Impeccable service at the Riad. Enjoyed our stay here and they are so accommodating of any request. A bit hard to find so contact them in advance for info and exact directions but it’s a quiet and off the beaten path spot with easy access the other areas of the Medina. The calls to prayer can be heard but other than that very quiet location.

The Riad itself is decent. My room with two beds were not big tho. Staff was friendly to help us with our luggages and they are honest. I would recommend this place if you want to experience the traditional Riad setting.

The welcoming of the staff was great there were very helpful and thoughtful. Unfortunately, There was a pool we couldn’t use because it was dirty. The bathroom smelled like pee all the time. It wasn’t a 4 star hotel in my opinion.

Best Hotel Staff I've ever had
The property was beautiful, with an inside pool and roof terrace, as well as being wonderfully decorated. It was also in an excellent location, an easy walk to jamaa el fina but in a relatively quiet part of the medina. Breakfast was simple but tasty and we had dinner there one night and it was probably the best thing we ate in Marrakech. The biggest highlight of the Riad though was undoubtedly the staff, Adam and Nordin going out of their way to make you feel special and valued every day. There was another young lady who worked there too (sorry, I never got her name) who was also very helpful and nice. Couldn't recommend staying with these guys on your next trip to Marrakech more.

The staff at the Riad and the Riad itself were perfectly lovely. It really is great value for the price. We ate in Riad first night (we arrived late) and the tagine was one of the best I have had in Morocco (I've been twice and tagine almost every time). Definitely recommend spending the money to have the hotel arrange a taxi from airport, or arrange with Riad staff to meet you to walk you to the door as the route could be intimidating the first time. Location was perfect for us, everything we visited was within 5 - 30 mins walk. Only negatives (very minor!) - should have bottled water included in room price and available in room and the location would make some solo travelling women a bit uncomfortable in early morning or after dark....

What an Amazing Stay!
From the moment my wife and I stepped foot into Riad Dar Massai, I knew I had chosen the perfect place for our stay in Marrakech. Immediately, Noureddine welcomed us in with open arms as if we were part of his family. He met us at our cab (that they arranged for us) to ensure we knew the exact way to the Riad, as the streets can be very confusing. We knew we were arriving late, so we arranged with them for dinner there upon arrival, which Noureddine set us up on the rooftop for an amazing first night. It was the perfect first night in such an beautiful place! Each morning, we were made a fresh, delicious breakfast, which we could eat on the rooftop, or in the main room by the pool. Both Noureddine & Adam went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, comfortable & they had plenty of recommendations for us to do in the city! It really may have been the best service we've ever received at a Hotel/Riad. That includes the fantastic Chef & Housekeeping, as all the food was top notch, and the place was spotlessly clean! I honestly can't recommend this place enough. If you're considering other places, stop. You will absolutely love your stay at the Riad Dar Massai. It was in a great, safe area as well, that only took about 5-10 minutes to get to Jemaa el-Fna and the souks! Shkran Noureddine, Adam, and the rest of the staff at Riad Dar Massai! You made our trip extremely memorable. We will most certainly be back!

Souffian is the best!
The service at this Riad was excellent - all due to the professional and attentive efforts of Souffian. He welcomed us with a drink in the lounge area, checked us in, moved bags to our room and throughout our stay served lovely meals, gave us good directions and engaged in friendly confirmations. I would certainly employ him in my own business - he was that good!! Thanks Souffian for your excellent service!! The Riad itself was also very nice - rooms clean and well decorated in theme. Meals were delicious!
