Riad Dar Oulhoum

Everything was great and I was well taken care of

Espectacular la atención, el desayuno exquisito, muy bueno, muy amable todo el personal, muy recomendado

Les hôtes ont un goût très sûr pour la décoration : chaque objet est magnifique et authentique. L’ensemble du Riad est digne d’une revue de décoration d’arts. Les hôtes vivent sur place. Ils sont accueillants, force de conseils et très à l’écoute tout en sachant se faire discrets. On s’y est senti très à l’aise. Petits déjeuners variés et très bons. Très calme et très propre. Seulement 3 chambres : calme et tranquillité.

Accès en voiture impossible. Il faut être accompagné pour trouver le Riad la première fois. Heureusement, le service de transfert depuis l’aéroport, proposé par le Riad est parfaitement adapté et agréable.

Bruno was a wonderful host and the dinners prepared by Moustapha and his wife on the rooftop were spectacular. We felt like coming home to a lovely family every evening.

Beetje zoeken om de riad te vinden, zoals zo dikwijls in Marrakech, maar eens binnen een mooie kleine riad, aangezien er maar drie kamers zijn. Wat ons vooral plezierde was de stilte! Van de hectiek buiten merk je niets. Sympathieke uitbaters en personeel die klaar staan om je te helpen. Het ontbijt was lekker, met wat dagelijkse variatie. Op 5 minuten bereik je de ingang van de soek, op 15 minuten sta je op het centrale plein, alles dus perfect op wandelafstand! Heel correcte afwikkeling!

Niets viel tegen.

Excellent stay! If you have a collector’s heart, you will love the beautiful antiques throughout Dar Oulhoum. This small riad has a lot of heart—from its decor to the owners who are kind and welcoming from the start. Highly recommend!

Bruno and his staff are the ultimate hosts, and the Riad itself is stunning. I have visited Marrakech several times, and this Riad truly stands out as one of the best places I have stayed.

I loved the peaceful quiet and beautiful sun terrace where we were served delicious breakfasts, different every day, by the most charming staff. A delight in every way. The hosts are wonderful and helpful in every way. Assisted us with the taxi from the airport and booking and recommending restaurants and a hammam (which was fabulous)

Beaucoup de charme et de quiétude dans ce riad proche des lieux culturels de la ville. Merci à nos hôtes et leur équipe pour leur accueil, disponibilité et gentillesse.

Rien, tout était parfait.

Our room was comfortable and spacious with an old-time elegance we really enjoyed. The owners and staff are all very attentive, and we felt very secure and well looked after. Breakfast on the terrace with flowers and sunshine was a delight.

Our stay was lovely and enjoyable.

Tutto. Bellissima location. Affascinante. Pulita. Silenziosa. Un viaggio da mille e una notte.

Beautiful property with great personality and originality. Marvellous hosts, delicious food in a stunning rooftop setting

Le Riad est très confortable, calme et propre. Il est bien situé dans la Medina. Ne pas hésiter à demander conseil aux propriétaires qui connaissent très bien les lieux et les bonnes adresses. Nous recommandons ce riad sans hésiter.

Décoration authentique, propriétaires très accueillants et personnel aux petits soins. Petit-déjeuner exemplaire.

Séjour sans fausse note, du début à la fin.

Der Gastgeber Bruno und sein Team sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und variierte jeden Morgen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Es war alles zur Zufriedenheit.

Staying at this Riad was like staying in your favorite uncles’ house. The property owners live in the riad and they make sure every detail is taken care of. They are really lovely people, and the staff is top notch. Everyone is really kind and lovely and we could not have asked for anything more.

Nothing. Every single thing was amazing. I would highly recommend paying for the airport transportation. The riad is very central and right by the Medina, but there are many alleyways and even with Google maps, it is difficult to find, especially if you arrive at night.

What a wonderful surprise to find this beautiful riad in the backstreets of Marrakesh within the walls of the old city. Our room was above the front door and gorgeous. The beds were really comfortable. The bathroom was to die for, gold and opulent and rustic all at the same time. The hosts were really friendly, helpful and just what was needed. Breakfast on the roof terrace daily was a delight every day. We met Carla the tortoise one day. Joel arranged a wonderful trip into the Atlas Mountains for us. Bruno and his partner have built an amazing place for travellers to stay. I would not hesitate to rebook and one day I will. They could not do enough for us and we are grateful. Great location nearby to the souks and around 12 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of the main square. A taxi dropped us at the nearest place it could to the riad where we were met and our cases were loaded on to a trolley and we had a 5 minute stroll to our riad down the backstreets. We felt safe and relaxed. Lovely five days spent staying here and in Marrakesh. Thank you

Struggling to find anything I didn’t like

We liked the abience, the traditional, elegant style , the rooftop terrace and our freshly prepared breakfast. We also really enjoyed the host, Bruno's hospitality and chat. He was always keen to ensure we had the best stay we could. Jemmad was exceptionally helpful getting us orientated and organising trips when we asked for guidance. We will recommend this property to friends and family.

No, all good

Accueil, accompagnement et cadre formidables Des hôtes et un personnel au "petit soin" - très attentifs , sans être intrusifs. Petit déjeuner copieux, préparé au coup par coup et diffèrent chaque matin.

Pas grand chose...

JUST BRILLIANT - If you are thinking about this, just book now. More detail: - An amazing Dar (house) in a lovely and super quiet location. It is a real oasis from the hubub of the city and just lovely. It is more interesting (personal artifacts of the owners) and beautiful than the photos suggest - This Dar has only 3 rooms. You will get to know the owners Bruno and Guy (a little French will help). They are lovely and could not be more attentive or interested to hear about your stay and plans - The owners are lovely, and will help you explore the city. - Beds are comfortable and nights are silent. - We will be back Food for thought: - We love the small size, eclectic mix of objects and charm. You need to be aware that this comes with narrow staircases and would not be good for disabled guests. Equally, having only 3 rooms may not work for everyone. - We would recommend asking the owners to arrange transport from the airport (price is ok). Otherwise a taxi will take you close, but there are no signposts for the last 300m and no sign on the door. One you are here you will love the peace but it is hard to find.

Nothing!

Very good breakfast (each day a little bit different) on awonderful terrasse

Magnifique Riad au calme dans la médina de Marrakech. Excellent accueil des propriétaires. Un Riad qui a une âme avec les traces de son passé. Décoration exceptionnelle. BRAVO!

Bruno, Guy, Jawad and Dris, will make you feel cosseted. A great place to stay if this is your first experience in Marrakech and also if you appreciate intricate architectural details and a mix of artefacts from exotic parts of the globe. You will be in the very safest of hands and enjoy roof top breakfasts.

Nothing to dislike. Take ear plugs if you don’t wish to be woken by early morning prayers which blurts out of city wide speakers.

The Riad Dar Oulhoum is deep inside the northern end of the Medina and an exciting place to stay. The photographs on the website, on Booking.com and Trip Advisor etc. are accurate. It’s traditional, classy and very well maintained. The owners and staff only add to the experience. The hosts, Bruno and Guy, are excellent. They certainly make you feel like real guests, caring for your needs. This can start with meeting your plane at the airport for a reasonable return cost and this is definitely worth doing, as finding your way to the riad is difficult on the first occasion. The taxi rank is a good three minute walk through winding alleyways with no signs but you can be met at the drop off point and navigated to the accommodation. Everyone is interested in what you want to do, and will give you help and ideas. They speak English as well as French and are very forgiving if your French isn’t that good but you want to practise! They will also help with other transport if you need it, eg taxis to golf clubs, trips to the Atlas Mountains. Breakfast on the rooftop garden is a good way to start the day. It’s a tranquil space with great views over the city and towards the Atlas Mountains. You can watch dawn and dusk across the city. Abdul and Driss, cook and concierge, are very helpful and always available. They will accompany you to taxis, carry cases, make wonderful mint tea at all hours of the day... The interior of the riad is beautiful. Every room is individual – some definitely bigger than others. Rooms are well appointed, with furnishings that are tasteful and artistic. Everything works, e.g. the heating and showers. Riad Dar Oulhoum is definitely an oasis amidst the hurly-burly of the old town. It’s full of character and very relaxing. It’s five minutes’ walk to the entrance to the souk but it will take you longer than that because you will be distracted by people, shops, motorbikes, just hustle and bustle. It’s brilliant. We felt very well looked after and very sa

Bruno and Guy are exceptional hosts, present, helpful, discreet, jovial. Their team also offer excellent service with big smiles. The riad is in a quite corner of the medina and the room was dark and quiet, which made for great sleep (of course you can hear the call to prayer, but that's true everywhere in the city). Slightly off the beaten path but still well-located, so easy to walk everywhere. The riad is beautifully decorated with local art and furniture, and has a wonderful rooftop terracce. There were also small touches like local soap and scrubing glove, to try out local products. Nice breakfast that changed a bit every day.

Nothing really.

Guy, Bruno and their team were all fantastic and super welcoming. They also have the most incredible taste and our room and the riad were beautiful.

Nothing!

Family owned - very friendly and provide u advice

Finding it is difficult so may be best to get the owners to book a taxi for you

The location was handy for taxis. Mint tea was lovely.

Beds were hard. The room was very hot and the aircon didn't work. The room smelt musty. Water wasn't replaced daily. Breakfast was barely adequate, crepes were inedible. Bread was not fresh. Coffee was cold. We were offered an omelette one morning but it was undercooked. The Riad has a neglected feel, it was dark and completely overpriced. We paid 165 Euros per night. The alleyway into it had no light the night we arrived and felt very unsafe. I wanted to turn around immediately.

We stayed four nights in this beautiful Riad. It was the highlight of our trip. Place looks so much better in reality than in photographs. Staff all amazing- can’t do enough for you. Breakfasts were fabulous. Enjoyed dinner there too one evening and that was superb. It’s a little tricky to find as there are many unnamed alleys, so definitely ask the Riad to book a taxi for you and then they meet you.

All amazing

We loved everything about the riad. Our room was very comfortable with good air conditioning. Impeccably clean with a luxurious feel. Breakfast was delicious and served on the terrace,it really set us up for the day. Everyone was very helpful and informative.

Hey traveler. You are probably here, reading reviews and trying to find the best riad in Marrakesh. Search no more. Book one of three rooms in this riad of dreams. It has everything you need. Warm, fairytale interior that will want you not to leave. You will be protected here from the rush of lively medina. You’ll feel relaxation when you’ll open the door of riad. Passing by all that books on the staircase you’ll be greeted by Mr.Drizz or Mr. Cherif who will make your stay here pleasant and without stress. Those two gentlemen are worth booking this riad. Feeling always welcomed and greeted with smile is something you cannot buy. Enjoy breakfast on the rooftop terrace in the sun, watching Atlas mountains, have an afternoon mint tea watching the sunset… It is a small, typical riad tastefully decorated with love for details. We did not get the chance to meet the owner who also lives in the house but he was away for the time of our stay. All three rooms are located on the first floor. We chose superior double room and it was perfect! Some useful tips: accept airport to riad transfer if offered, since it is almost impossible to find it if you do not know the place from before. It’s a walking distance to Jemma el-Fnaa (15-20 min through vibrant streets of medina). Visit hammam, YSL museum and enjoy company of friendly Moroccan people. Find your little corner in medina and let it go… Morocco once a year is a good health treatment from too much organised Europe.

This was a wonderful property that we absolutely loved. The hosts Bruno and Guy were absolutely fantastic and made us feel like family. Beautiful and tranquil property, fantastic service. We loved every minute of it. A gorgeously restored riad with a central atrium and only 3 rooms, so very quiet and private-feeling. Also, just a 10-15 minute walk to the main square. Highly recommend!
