Excellent stay in Marrakesh. The property is very central located close to the Djemaa el Fna and the souks. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They greeted us on the first day with tea and they helped us with everything that we asked for.Each time we left the room, the staff came in and cleaned the room. For sure they pay a lot of attention on cleaning, which is excellent. The breakfast was also amazing and they also have a nice roof top terrace where you can enjoy the sun. We highly recommend this place for a stay in Marrakesh!:)

Check in and check out was super easy, and they were so helpful with everything we needed, booked us a place for dinner right away, walked us out to get a taxi on our last day at 7am with to go breakfast packages! Breakfast was included and was awesome! The room was a bit on a dark side, shower with hot and cold water can be tricky to handle.

The Best Riad
From the moment my friend and I were greeted by Noureddine and staff, we were welcomed and made to feel at home. I totally screwed up our booking and Noureddine adjusted to our needs, very kindly and made it stress free! The room was STUNNING and clean with fresh fruit and water everyday! Breakfast was amazing every morning and so fresh, as soon as we came out of our rooms we were met with our bread basket and asked if we wanted the fresh offerings of the day. I’ve never been waited on so greatly as I have in this Riad and in Marrakech!! Any time we wanted tea they were so kind to indulge us. The excursions were all handled by Noureddine who was so gracious and patient with my friend and I. He made it very simple for us to do all the activities we wanted to in Marrakech and we did many! One note, do have cash for your excursions and tipping, next visit I will have more cash rather than relying on cards (although you can use your cards in many places). This was the best trip I’ve ever been on with everything working so seamlessly and most definitely the best place I’ve ever stayed! Super close to the square, Jemaa El-Fnaa also!!!

The property has very few of any amenities besides wifi (which was unstable) - no tvs or speakers, no pool, no gym, no room service - very minimal so two stars were given for property facilities and for $250/night I have higher expectations. Most conversations can be heard in the room from other guests since the rooms face inward to the courtyard. The riad is a 10 min walk from the closest street where a taxi can drop off. The service is very nice and the hotel can help with luggage. However at night it doesn't feel safe, there's no security presence in the dark alleys and boys are zipping through the alleys on scooters at 30 km/h which are quite dangerous. On a positive note, the service provided was very warm and hospitable and the breakfast was wonderful.

Thank you so much Noureddine and staff for the most pleasurable stay at Riad Joya. Noureddine was quick to reply to my emails and arrange airport transfers before I arrived. On arrival, you are dropped off by the medina gates and warmly greeted by Noureddine. He takes you to the riad via it’s small alleyways. Seems a bit weird as you walk through a dark alleyway but as you enter the riad, you walk into your own little haven! It is a stunning Riad with all rooms overlooking a beautiful courtyard. Room was beautiful and spacious. The standout of the stay was the kind and friendly service by all the staff at Riad Joya. They helped booked excursions and spa treatments at the riad. The hammam treatment was definitely a must if staying in Marrakech. The food was absolutely delicious. The pastilla and chicken tagine was sublime. They even whipped us up a lunch when the weather was too hot to venture out during the day. There is a roof terrace where you can sunbathe in one of the sun loungers. I found the experience of staying in a Riad better than staying in a hotel. It just felt more intimate and felt we were immersed in the life of Marrakech by staying within the medina area. Our flight wasn’t departing until the evening and Noureddine was kind enough to let us have the room to until we left. It’s these little touches that made us feel so welcome there! Don’t hesitate and please stay at Riad Joya!

We loved Riad Joya. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We were trying to find a room at a different Riad to be with our friends but luckily we ended up here. It is conveniently located in the center of the madina yet tucked away from the noise. Great dining spots around the block. Room is clean, spacious and bed is very comfortable. The breakfast area is shabby chic, simple and lovely. Staff are friendly and helpful. We got lost at night and Noureldin quickly came to our rescue. Marrakech is such a magical place with lots going on. Riad Joya was the perfect resting place after an exhausting day. I recommend reserving the entire Riad with a big group of friends, I wish we had done that :)

I would highly recommend this property not only for its great location in the Medina yet quiet enough from the hustle and bustle but more for the service provided by Nourredine the owner. It felt like you were staying with family, talking care of all your needs, walking you to and from places so you don’t get lost and are safe. He set up a tour and driver. And the rest of the staff was so friendly too. Lastly the room and property was so beautiful, clean and everything you see in the pictures. It was sad that we were there for one night and wished we could’ve stayed longer. Would stay here again!

Riad Joya is hidden gem that needs to be discovered. Situated at the heart of the Medina of Marrakesh, and still, once you enter the complex it is totally quiet. The riad is beautifully designed and mostly important, the staff is amazing. Nouradin and his team - they are the big joker of the riad. He helped me a lot: from escorting me from the airport, arranging a guide tour, joining me to pottery shopping, and being available on whatsapp for any question I had etc... The breakfast is great, and the big plus is that once you get out of the riad you are in the middle of everything. I really recommend this place for people who want to feel the beat of the medina. Prepare yourself to walk a bit, as in the medina vehicles are limited.

This is one of the gems in Marrakech. We arrived and were catered to like royalty. The house keeping and kitchen staff are amazing. The rooms were extremely clean, large and comfortable. We enjoyed the bathroom and sky shower. Noor the manager will provide whatever you need and escorted us through the Medina. The location is perfect, close to the square and close to shopping. You’re also in the middle of the restaurant’s and spas. I’ll definitely do this again.

Super friendly and helpful staff! Everything was so easy. Had a ride arranged from the airport. Someone met us outside of the medina and walked our bag to the Riad. Nour even made us a reservation and walked us to the restaurant on our first night. The room was beautiful, and the Riad was in a great location. The chef made us dinner on our last night and it was delicious! Had a glass of wine on the rooftop terrace pretty much every night :)
