La ubicación
No tiene aire acondicionado
Heel vriendelijk personeel, afwisselend ontbijt, gemakkelijk te bereiken met taxi (dus je moet niet lang met je bagage door de binnenstad) en toch overal dichtbij. Goed bed en mooi dakterras.
Il Riad è molto bello ed è come ce lo si aspetta
Non ha la chiave alla porta ma un chiavistello
La gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel. Les petits déjeuners sur la terrasse. La propreté et l'aménagement du riad.
A reggeli elegendő egy nap indításához. A személyzet kedves, segítőkész, dolgos, érdemes kikérdezni a vásárlási és egyéb információkról. A tetőteraszon kellemesen lehet reggelizni, lazulni, barátokkal összeülni. A szállás nagyon hangulatos, a madarak csicseregnek, biztonságos (zárt kapukkal, éjjel-nappali személyzettel). Mi biztosan visszatérünk, mert ha betartod a kultúrális minimumot (öltözködés, viselkedés) nagyon jól fogod magad érezni ebben a meglepően zöld, barátságos városban. A közösségi parkokat is érdemes meglátogatni, nem csak a fizetős kerteket.
La acogida de la chica de recepción, Paula. Nos dio un cálido y bonito recibimiento y se encargó de que la estancia fuera estupenda. El desayuno es maravilloso , tienen una terraza preciosa
La cama hacía ruido cuando nos movíamos y la puerta de la habitación no se podía cerrar por fuera, genera un poco de inseguridad
Vriendelijke mensrn
Een beetje gehorig
La struttura è a 10/15 minuti a piedi dalla piazza centrale e nel cuore del Suk. Posizione ottima per ogni spostamento. Il letto era comodo. Il personale molto disponibile voto 11!
Struttura davvero datata, le foto sono credo di 5 anni fa almeno. Purtroppo per loro perché la struttura merita di più. Faccio un test al proprietario dicendo che nelle foto scattate era uscito bene (era più giovane e con la compagna ) ma lui nemmeno sa di questa foto. Ciò significa che non ha interesse al sito che pubblicizza del suo Riad. Deludente... Terrazzo senza alcuna vista, solo palazzi accanto. Colazione minimo indispensabile con termos di caffè ed uno di latte, 2 cornetti, 2 formaggini, 2 crepes o 2 panini, un po di burro sbriciolato nella terrina contenitore ed una brocca da 1/5 lt di succo d'arancia non filtrato. Le sedie in corda quasi tutte distrutte, e un tendone che copre a modi coperta una serie di divanetti e tavoloni nel terrazzo che sembra una tenda del deserto. Tovaglie, dove le trovi usurate e credo non lavate molto su tavoli in legno bassi scomodi. Divani con coperture bianche e cuscini idem, credo quasi mai rimpiazzati. Nella mia camera la doccia era avvitata male e spruzzava da tutte le parti, per fortuna sistemata dal Mohamed ( il tutto fare che meriterebbe UNA STATUA per la disponibilità ad ogni ora ). Due letti uniti in mezzo alla camera, luce poco illuminante, bagno con doccia totalmente in penombra, doccia in pietra con lavandino, mobiletto in bambù rotto. Tendaggio del 1950 credo. Mai lavato in cotone pesante come il copriletto. Una vasca, simile ad una gebbia delle fattorie, che dovrebbe essere valorizzata, ma invece abbandonata con acqua stantiva. Se ci tornerei? NO! C'è di meglio allo stesso prezzo. Purtroppo non sempre ciò che si vede nelle foto e si legge nelle recensioni altrui è realtà...
Beautiful, quiet & cool riad with wonderful trees and flowers! The staff were phenomenal, especially Khaolua, Mohamed, Fatima, & Buchka (apologies if I have mis-spelt names)…they looked after us so well and were incredible hosts.
Nothing. Would love to come back!!
Beautifull and quiet place in Marrakech, perfect to withdraw when the city gets a little intense and you need a break. Very friendly people!
The traditional Moroccan breakfasts were good and served in a lovely spot
Although things were very clean, quiet a bit of the furniture was broken or very worn looking which made the place look neglected and shabby.
Excellent experience staying here. Collected from airport and had a beautiful 3 course meal at Riad when we arrived. Muhammad was so kind and helpful to us. Nothing was too much trouble. He answered any questions we had about navigating Marrakesh and even ordered a pizza for us one evening when it was heavy rain. Room was clean and cleaned properly with fresh towels daily. Breakfast served to us on roof terrace if sunny or at table inside. Lovely simple continental style breakfast with fresh orange juice and bread. Khaoula was also very efficient, kind and helpful to us. Together with Muhammad they were so welcoming.
Maybe some fresh fruit and cheese for breakfast
Erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Leuk gesprek gehad en ze konden veel vertellen over de omgeving. Daarnaast heeft de Dar allemaal leuke kamers die erg schoon waren. We hebben ook fijn kunnen zitten op het dakterras. Om binnen te komen, klop je aan en maakt iemand de deur open, dat maakt het ook erg persoonlijk!
Tolle Lage, super Betten, sehr sauber, schöne Terrasse, eine Ruheoase. Richtig gut und lecker Frühstück
La struttura è molto caratteristica e accogliente. Arrivando prima del portone di ingresso tuttavia l'impressione non è la stessa per la presenza di una area di una vecchia casa in rudere trasformata in un po di discarica. All' interno cambia tutto, io mi sono trovato molto a mio agio. Consiglio.
El personal muy amable y atento. La habitación era amplia y cómoda. Nos trataron fenomenal
Amazing staff, perfect position, good breakfast
niente
Considerato il prezzo pagato, ci aspettavamo molto di più. In camera non c’era un buon odore, l’acqua della doccia arrivava dappertutto in quanto non esisteva il box doccia, la pulizia della camera era inesistente, la colazione era sempre la stessa e di qualità non eccellente e veniva servita in un terrazzo all’aperto e al freddo, la stanza era molto piccola e priva di mobili dove riporre i vestiti, l’ingresso dell’albergo presentava un gradino molto alto e si faceva fatica a entrare, le scale erano molto ripide e prive di corrimano, di fronte all’albergo c’era un deposito di rifiuti, la zona era molto degradata, la via era molto stretta e i taxi non potevano transitare, quindi si dovevano fermare a circa duecento metri dall’ingresso dell’albergo. Struttura che necessita di una profonda ristrutturazione. Durante la nostra permanenza a Marrakech, abbiamo visto strutture in zone molto più accoglienti e di livello superiore, e soprattutto a prezzi notevolmente inferiori. Hotel da evitare, a cui attribuiamo un voto di 1 su una scala da 1 a 10.
Very welcoming, kind staff and charming atrium and walled roof top terrace. House of Birds is very apt as little house bunting flitting in and out.
Liked everything.
Personale gentilissimo, ottima posizione
Bagno umido e colazione poco variegata
The hosts were very friendly. They assisted us with everything. We had an emergency going to the Clinique and Mohamed was very attentive. He called for us a taxi and arranged our way back, waited for us ti check whether everything went well. Overall, we are very satisfied with the stay.
Ottima posizione, appena fuori dalla medina e apparentemente molto sicura, ottimo staff, ottima cucina, soprattuto la tajina di pollo di Mohamed, pulizia, e una splendida terrazza. Mohamed è stato disponibile e gentilissimo.
Forse non il riad più caratteristico che si può trovare a Marrakech.
When we were looking for a place to stay in Marrakech, everyone kept recommending that we choose a riad. We weren’t quite sure what it was or whether we would like it, but we wanted to experience the full atmosphere of Morocco. Luckily for us, we stayed at Dar Touyir. The place was so cozy and beautiful that we honestly didn’t want to leave on our last day. The room we stayed in was very comfortable, and the view from the rooftop terrace made our morning coffee and breakfast even more enjoyable. As for the host, I can only say good things. They responded to every need and request we had (like helping us print our boarding passes) and made our stay truly exceptional. I highly recommend it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we return to Marrakech and stay at this exact place again!
Nothing to complain. It was perffect.
Posizione e gentilezza.
Colazione migliorabile
Il personale della struttura è gentilissimo e sempre disponibile : Khaoula mi ha persino aiutata a prenotare una meravigliosa giornata di hammam e spa fuori dal circuito più turistico. La colazione, preparata sul momento è ricca e varia ogni giorno. La stanza era pulita e la zona comoda a tutto.
The location was great, near the center of the medina while being isolated and quiet. The riad was beautiful and our room was really nice. The roof top terrace was also a must. A big thank you to Mohamed from restaurant recommendations, to managing airport transportation for us, he has been an excellent host.
La sympathie du personnel et leur attachement a bien faire un très bon accueil et un vrai sens de l’hospitalité. Le toit terrasse est également très agréable et l’endroit est très joli.
Il n’y a pas de véritable isolation phonique du coup les bruits s’entendent beaucoup. Le débit de la douche est assez faible par ailleurs.
The location is okay in terms of main attractions being within walking distance.
The immediate surroundings are not very attractive. An open landfill just around the corner downgraded the whole. The stench of the sewerage, both outside the facility and in the room, was quite disturbing.
Hospitalitat i Dar molt acollidor, l'esmorzar és excel.lent.
Hi ha humitat als banys
The riad is beautiful, the staff is very friendly, it can't accommodate many guests which makes it intimate, the atmosphere is calming, it's easy to get to, the breakfast is not too abundant but it's good.
In front of the riad is a demolished building with garbage containers, which doesn't look very nice, but since we didn't stay there for long, it didn't bother us much.
Nuestra estancia en el Dar Touyir ha sido maravillosa. El recinto tiene toda la esencia marroqui, y además valorarmos su limpieza, comodidad y ubicación. Lo más destacable para nosotros ha sido el trato de Mohamed, Khaoula, muy amable y cercano, con sus exelentes recomendaciones. No dejamos de lado los fantásticos desayunos de la cocinera. Vale la pena incluirlo en la reserva. Volveremos muy pronto. Francesca y Vicent.
We were warmly welcomed, the property is beautifully presented and in a great location. My dietary restrictions were catered for happily, superb breakfasts each morning.
L'emplacement était idéal. Le petit déjeuner très bon et très copieux.
Gentilezza, disponibilità e accoglienza
Tutto estremamente pulito
Everything was perfect, room was clean, with all required amenities in place. Location was good for what we needed. Good breakfast offered on the roof top made our stay even better! Special thanks to house bunting bids (touyir in Arabic) to show up and sing beautiful songs to us :))
Everything was good.
Super mignon et le personnel très chaleureux

just perfect, welcome tea, beautiful room, great breakfast, TOP!
Perfect location. Very friendly staff, ready any time to help and provide all necessary. A very delicious dinner was waiting for us late in the evening when we arrived. Very early breakfast the day of our departure. Very good breakfast. Very clean room.
Disponibilité du personnel Navette aéroport Repas du soir Conseils de visites
Mirror in the bathroom was to high for my mother ;).
L’emplacement du logement, le personnel accueillant, la beauté du Riad
Le petit déjeuner est moins copieux que dans d’autres Riad par rapport au prix de la nuit
We have visited Marrakech many times. The location and staff are excellent. However there are issues that need addressing
This Riad does not match the photos shown. It is time for some upgrades a strong manager and investement to bring it up to its full potential. Cleanliness, smell from the drains, general maintenane is noticeably not up to standard. The garbage site outside the main door has been there for 5 years at least. Why cant the local Riads get together and clean it up ? There are many Riads of a much highter standard for the same price. With a little effort so much could be better.
Le riad est idéalement situé dans la médina. Il est au calme et tout est accessible à pied.
Riad muito bonita, bem cuidada. Um espaço seguro e silencioso no meio do caos das ruas da Medina. Receção calorosa e staff super prestável e atencioso. Pequeno almoço ótimo, no rooftop encantador na companhia dos passarinhos que dão o nome à Riad.
A canalização da casa de banho tem algum odor, o que infelizmente é comum em Marraquexe.
El trato increíble, todo el personal muy amable y el desayuno en la terraza muy bueno y muy completo, no faltó de nada y todo recién hecho (incluso zumo de naranja natural)
Nada, todo perfecto
La ubicación y la atención
Se escucha mucho de otras habitaciones
El personal muy atento y simpatico/a. ubicación Riad muy comodo y limpio
Posizione perfetta, vicino alla medina, ma lontano dalla confusione, a soli 10 minuti a piedi al souk. La struttura è pulita, bella, sicura, ti senti un vero e proprio ospite in una dimora locale. Ci hanno accolti con una colazione al nostro arrivo, e ci hanno preparato anche la colazione alla nostra ripartenza, nonostante fosse alla mattina molto presto. Possibilità di organizzare transfer per e dall’aereoporto. Personale cortese e sempre disponibile. Consiglio vivamente per un’esperienza a contatto con il vero Marocco e con la gentilezza delle persone del posto :)
be careful that on your google profile you have a picture with a swimming pool and it is misleading. i was expecting a swimming pool. and i did not like i can not close the room.
Schöne, saubere und sehr ruhige Unterkunft. Freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Gemütliche Dachterrasse. Frühstück war nicht abwechslungsreich aber in Ordnung.
Amazing stay. Stuff is amazing and the location is really good.
Very good and very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent.
Dar Touyir team was superb, make our stay in Marrakech superb, quiet place perfect to recharge, breakfast on terrace with real Moroccan taste.
Enjoyed our stay very much, very nice and helpful staff, lovely room and breakfast. After the hustle and bustle of the markets and squares, the peace of calm of Dar Toujir was wonderful. We hope to return again.
The dar is only a short walk from the heart of the Medina, offering a more quite refuge from the hustle and bustle of the centre. The staff, especially Aziz and Khaoula are very kind and helpful. They went the extra mile to help us with some travel arrangements. We are very grateful.
N/A
All of the team working at Dar Touyir were extremely helpful, they helped with getting us from and to the airport without any hassle. The location was nice and quiet with easy walking distance to Jemaa el-Fnaa. The room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was a perfect amount to set us up for the day with the ladies who prepared it adding new things to eat each day. The host Amir was really helpful and kind, helping us to and from our taxi. The receptionist even printed our boarding pass which was super helpful. All in all I would highly recommend staying at Dar Touyir.
Really friendly staff and very helpful. They helped with taxis to/from airport, arranged a delicious dinner. The Riad is amazing. Traditional, quiet, cozy rooms, nice terrace, situated in a good location. Wonderful place to stay in Marrakech.
Breakfast can be improved. Not so diverse. Mostly sugary pastries.
We have just returned from our 4 night stay at Riad Dar Touyir and had an amazing time. The staff were wonderful and welcomed us with mint tea and highlighted places on the map we might like to visit and also printed our boarding passes on departure. We arranged airport pick up and drop off for €15 each way which was worth it. The breakfasts on the sunny roof terrace were delicious with different breads and jams served each day along with coffee, juice and tea. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the bed was very firm, but I believe this is typical of Morocco. It was quiet and peaceful with only the call to prayer from the mosque and then the birds tapping on your window to disturb your sleep The riad is in a lovely, little area with shops, market and restaurants nearby and a 10 minute walk to the Medina and Koutoubia Mosque. (Call in to see Imad, in his blue gown for a green tea in his herbal shop.) Some people may find it a little unnerving at first to discover it's down an alleyway, but it was fine, and everyone we saw, even late at night were pleasant and respectful. Even a group of young men who were sat outside one evening, greeted us and knocked on the door and were just sitting playing Ludo on their phones! 😅 There are more luxurious riads, but the price was great here and we wanted a more authentic, vintage feel, which Riad Touyir has. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The staff were lovely. Quiet location close to everything. Beautiful room and facilities.
The hotel has a very friendly staff, a great breakfast, and a nice roof terrace, is well-located and very quiet.
Facilities are a bit basic for the money.
The staff was very helpful and always paying attention to everything, the entire place was amazing, the position is very centric and easy to move around.
Schöne Unterkunft und sehr hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter.
The staff were extremely helpful - organised taxis, checked over our trips etc… The location was perfect for us. Not too close to the chaos of the main square but a good 15 min walk away so it wasn’t too far to walk to and from the centre if needed. Great layout of the Riad with a rooftop terrace. You MUST have their evening meal. 3 courses and the best food we ate whilst in Marrakesh for a week!!
We had problems with our safe. We kept our passports safe in there for the week but we struggled to open it so we had to get the staff to help us late at night. Personally better pillows - there was 1 super big pillow and 1 normal bed pillow. Wasn’t always very comfortable.
A Riad full of charm And character centrally Located in the Medina. Suppers cooked to order with fabulous flavours.
I really liked the family feel we experienced from the the Riad both the receptionist and Abdul Aziz went out of their way to assist us. Abdul Aziz even took us to have a look at the markets with tips for our stay.
Wonderful place to stay. Beautifully laid out property. Excellent breakfast every morning on the rooftop terrace and an ideal location for walking distance to all the major tourist spots. The staff were always helpful, with knowledge, information and booking us into places as well as just generally being lovely people to talk to. 10/10 would go back.
Lighting perhaps a little dark in the bathroom for applying make-up but a very minor inconvenience.
Good breakfast, great location and outstanding staff. One of the best Riad's I have ever stayed in.
Cute place, love having breakfast on the rooftop patio.
The room really smelt bad. Smelt like pee or something. Not sure they can do anything about it but it made us feel like the place was dirty. I think it was coming from the bathroom pipes but im not sure. They also had no key to each bedroom so anyone can walk in and no good airflow in the bedroom. Thankfully they provide a fan.
Friendly, looked after us, sorted transfers and helpful too
Lovely staff and welcoming environment.
Room wasnt very clean and breakfast wasn't what we expected for the money we paid.
Had a wonderful stay, Mustafa met us at the main parking close to hotel and guided us to the place and explained everything to do and avoid in Marrakech while serving us mint tea. Beautiful terrace and lovely breakfast. Would recommend!
