Dar Soukaina

Dar Soukaina is a little slice of Marrakech magic. From the moment we stepped through the carved wooden doors, the riad’s tranquil courtyard, lush greenery, and soft lantern light felt like a hidden oasis away from the bustle of the medina. The rooms are tastefully decorated with authentic Moroccan details and kept perfectly clean. Breakfast each morning was fresh and generous—served with a smile that made us feel at home.
A special thank-you to Bashir, whose warmth and attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. He went above and beyond to guide us through the city and ensure we had everything we needed.
If you’re looking for a riad that blends quiet elegance with heartfelt hospitality, Dar Soukaina is a true gem.

It's a quiet riad with very good service. Comfortable and cozy rooms with a large bathroom. Very well located in Medina. There is a taxi rank nearby. I come back here often.

Beautiful, well-maintained riad. We went almost everywhere by walking. Good restaurants around. The rooms are not soundproof, but the riad is peaceful. Very clean.
After walking around, it gets easy to find this riad, but consider taking airport transfer when you arrive.
Thank you Bashir, Nadia, Fatima and all the staff for your work in this riad.
Our room was called Curry.

The host and the rest of the staff are very welcoming. The courtyard is very nice and fresh. The rooms are carefully prepared and the location is perfect for wandering round Marrakech.

Plus points:
Location was easy to find and near to everything.
Inexpensive.
Bed fairly comfortable.
Hot and powerful shower.
Attractive central courtyard area.
Low points:
No locks on doors (unless you lock from the inside), which I wasn't concerned about in other riads I stayed in, but with this one the door to the street was often left open, so it would have been easy for someone to come in from the road and then enter your room whilst you weren't there. As there often was nobody 'on duty', not to mention no safes, I saw this as a major security problem.
It was quite noisy — from my room you could hear constant noise in the central part of the riad. At night it was other guests talking loudly and playing music, and in the morning it was pots and pans clattering. The walls and windows are obviously very thin.
Mediocre, limited breakfast compared to every other breakfast I had whilst in Morocco.
No water, tea etc left in the bedroom. Everywhere else I stayed offered plentiful water throughout our stay, as well as tea and coffee making facilities.
Pretty dated rooms in need of a refurb.
They booked me a 'private' transfer to the airport, which was in fact a shared transfer that I had to wait for the other passengers for. I don't mind sharing, but it meant that we all definitely overpaid for the service that we ended up receiving, as they had sold us all a 'private' trip.

Very relaxing athmosphere, clean cozy rooms and clean bathrooms, breakfast with a variety. Especially Bachir and all the other staff were very friendly and helpful and made our stay here very enjoyable. We will definetly come back. The Medina and main attractions are all walking distance from the riad.
