Riad Zineb

"A beautiful small riad in heart of the medica. About 15 min walk to jamal el fnaa square. Pool is very cold but is perfect after a hot day exploring. Beds slightly on hard side but were comfortable. Thomas the cat is a sweetheart and loves a belly rub. But the star of the show is Aziz who goes out of his way for every resident and nothing is too much trouble. He did more than I could ask when I was poorly for a couple days and he is so pleasant and empathic. He is a credit to all that have raised him. Thank you Aziz. I hope ( I know) you will be successful in your career."

"I’ve just returned from a 4-night stay at Riad Zineb and couldn’t wait to share what a wonderful experience it was! Tucked away in the heart of Marrakech’s bustling market streets, Riad Zineb is a serene and beautifully kept riad — the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and spotlessly clean. It truly felt like an oasis amidst the vibrant chaos of the city. The highlight of our stay was without a doubt the exceptional staff. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. We booked through EasyJet, and upon arrival, a team member met us, wheeled our suitcase, and guided us through the busy streets — something we’d have really struggled with otherwise! As noted in other reviews, check-in takes place at the sister property, Riad Karmela, just a short walk away. Throughout our stay, the staff were consistently helpful and responsive. They answered all our questions, offered great local tips, and even arranged tuk-tuks for us — including one late at night via WhatsApp! When we had a minor issue with the air conditioning, it was resolved promptly. On our departure day, they ensured we were well-fed before our early flight and personally walked us to our pickup point. We genuinely felt looked after the entire time. Riad Zineb is small and quiet, with only a few rooms, which made it feel even more personal and relaxing. It’s just a short walk to the main square — they’ll show you the way and provide a map, though we found Apple Maps worked just fine too. While we didn’t book any excursions through the hotel, there were plenty of options available if you wanted to. We had a light lunch at Riad Karmela which was delicious, and while dinner is also offered, we opted to dine out in the evenings. If we had to mention one downside, it would be the lack of a mini fridge in the room — especially important when temperatures soar above 40°C, as it did during our stay. It would’ve been great to keep drinks cold. That said, overall, we loved our stay. The riad was beautiful and peaceful, the location ideal, and the staff truly made it special. We would absolutely return without hesitation!"

"We loved our stay here! The riad is stunning, the room is beautiful and super comfortable! Staff is very kind and helpful! Helps us with our reservation, with the luggage and also arrange a quick breakfast for our early departure. And the location could not be better!"
