RIAD MARRAKECH
“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic owner”
“Fantastic Riad in good location”
Stayed in Riad Dar Najat for only one night, because our previous Marrakech riad, Riad Celia, was full. My husband and I were travelling with two teenage daughters. We loved Celia but Dar Najat was even better. It is smaller than Celia with only a handful of rooms but the atmosphere was wonderful. The rooms were small but beautifully decorated. The lighting and artwork are fabulous. The roof terrace is a great spot to relax and get away from the wild wackiness of Marrakech. The owners are on site — Olivier, the husband is French and speaks excellent English, and his wife is Morocccan. Olivier was very helpful getting us transportation out of Marrakech.
Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful — fresh squeezed orange juice, cafe au lait, french baguette and jam and pain chocolate!!!! This was perhaps the most relaxing spot we found in Morroco. Our daughters loved playing with Olivier’s puppy on the terrace. The views of the mountains from the roof were super.
Only problem — had to fiddle with the hot water — kept getting cold but if you turn it off then on it comes back hot. (This was a common issue in most of the Morrocan hotels we stayed in).
You will need help to find the place the first time — it is in a small lane off other small lanes in the medina — but when you get there it feels wonderful!!!!
Whichever riad you choose — and Dar Najat is a great choice — stay in the medina not the new city. The atmosphere is unforgettable.

“The BEST PLACE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH”
We got to the Medina just as it was getting dark and followed our friendly taxi driver into a crowded street. It was like some strange rush hour. Masses of moving people, but mixed with donkey carts, push barrows, weaving bicycles and buzzing mopeds. Deeper and deeper into the heart of the old city and my senses were working overtime, so much to see, so much to hear, so much to smell, and, whoops, ‘Pardonnez moi’, so much to avoid. We suddenly turned down a quiet back lane and found ourselves at Dar Najat. A lovely warm welcome, and then the beautiful courtyard and… It’s so quiet. I felt my worries melt away.
Our room was delightful, little alcoves set into the walls, tastefully lit and decorated, and as I later found out, with a comfortable bed, and cleaned and tidied every day. During a welcoming mint tea, the owner Olivier, kindly enthused us with the delights of Marrakesh, and as he explained about the wonders of the Call to Prayer, it suddenly started… Totally amazing! As was the evening meal of vegetable tagine. And breakfast on the sun drenched roof terrace is a perfect way to greet the day.
Dar Najat is a wonderful oasis of peace, yet so close to the lively hub of the old Medina. The staff are happy and helpful at all times and our stay in Marrakesh was enhanced to a magical level because of the unseen hard work that undoubtedly goes into the creation of such a wonderful place. Dar Najat, my soul thanks you. http://www.dar-najat.com

Thanks to our guests &friends for kind words about Riad Marrakech-Dar najat and Riad Bab Marrakech
Dar najat http://www.dar-najat.com
is run by Olivier the owner . It’s a lovely and intimate guesthouse with a great sun terrace and views over the Koutoubia Mosque. The service is impeccable and the ambience very relaxed. He is a very accommodating host, ready to help organise transfers/tours and offer advice on anything you might ask him about, great to chat to – he has led very varied and interesting live and enjoy sitting with his guests to chat. The atmosphere is very chilled out.
The room we had was comfortable and quiet; we got up when we felt like it and breakfast was served to suit us. There are only seven rooms available for rent at this riad which means it is very intimate. He has a second riad, dar bab marrakech http://www.riad-bab-marrakech.com
just up the road which is also lovely . The vibe is different at the two riads so it is nice to use the facilities of both.
We had a marvellous stay and wouldn’t hesitate to go back
We enjoyed a great table d’hote evening with the host and a group of guests from both Riads, and sampled a delicous Morroccan salad, Sardine dish,tagine of all kind, Morroccan crumble and pastries to go with the obligatory mint tea.
A beautiful and reasonably priced riad in a great location – 5 minutes walk from Jemaa el Fna.

This wonderful Riad Dar Najat is at the very heart of the historical part of Marrakesh, the Medina,
patrimony of the whole Humanity, according to UNESCO, being at the same time absolutely quiet.
We breathed the magic of this Riad http://www.dar-najat.com
when the colors of the sunset matched those of the lanterns, shaping on the walls and columns surrounding the courtyard patterns of imaginary figures reminding us the marvels of The Arab Nights, told the Sultan by the daughter of the Grand Visir.
The magic and beauty of the Riad atmosphere is largely due to the charm of Olivier the owner, and to the delicacy of the whole staff. We will remember forever the dinner with OLivier in his new riad bab marrakech tasting excellent taijines prepared by the staff of the Riad http://www.riad-bab-marrakech.com
The luxury rooms, each different from the others, make you part of the wonders of this
magic city. Dar najat thus helps the guest to enter immediately the atmosphere and beauty of Marrakech.
We thus advise smart and bright travellers in Morocco, to take advantage of the enchantment of those Riads

romantic riad in Marrakech by black zitoun
The best « french post »on riad dar najat we ever had!thanks to our great guest!
Entre les divers endroits propice à la dérive, Dar Najat se définit comme une L’ENDROIT du passage hâtif à travers des ambiances variées. Le concept de DAR NAJAT est indissolublement lié à la la joie de vivre et à l’affirmation d’un comportement ludique-constructif, ce qui l’oppose en tous points aux notions classiques de voyage « all-inclusive » et de promenade FRAM.
Une ou plusieurs personnes se livrant à la douce et délicieuse dérive DAR NAJAT renoncent, pour une durée plus ou moins longue, aux raisons de se déplacer et d’agir qu’elles se connaissent généralement, aux relations, aux travaux qui leur sont propres, pour se laisser aller aux sollicitations du terrain et des rencontres qui y correspondent. La part de l’aléatoire est ici moins déterminante qu’on ne croit : ce lieu est rêvé et mis en symphonie par votre hôte Olivier.
Il n’est pas douteux que de tels endroits, exemples d’une poésie moderne susceptible d’entraîner de vives réactions affectives – dans ce cas l’indignation qu’il soit possible de vivre de la sorte – , ne doivent servir aux progrès de la rencontre humaine.
Le sentiment de volupté et d’une vie différente à DAR NAJAT se rattache naturellement à une façon plus générale de prendre la vie, qu’il serait pourtant maladroit d’en déduire mécaniquement.
Tout porte à croire que l’avenir précipitera le changement irréversible du comportement et du décor de la société actuelle. Un jour, on construira des villes pour dériver et rêver…

This was a truly amazing experience, and the staff were an assett to Morocco, with african/reggae tones and tunes underlying this vibrant and chilled out Riad. We visited with our two children aged 11 & 17 who were thorougly cherished by all of the staff. We were made to feel welcome from the outset. This Riad comes complete with its very own Bob Marley and Jerry Lewis to name a few of the staff. African decour throughout provided a chillaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy and homely. The home cooked food truly exceptional and the prices even more so. I have not stayed in such a happy enviroment abroad before where the staff are entertaining and laughing all day.
