Just outside the Medina wall means it’s easier to find! 100dh for a taxi from the train to Bahia palace + 4 minute walk with google maps. My husband got mostly hot water for his shower, but I only got warmish. Our room was at the front which gets street noise at night and early in the morning. But that’s likely the case with all Riads on narrow alleyways. We found the platform bed awkward to access

A fantastic break in Marrakech.

Fantastic hospitality - staff were brilliant and prepared to satisfy all our requests. The hotel is quaint but very comfortable - look past the few missing tiles and a couple of almost manufactured cracks, it is original. The location can be a bit noisy - but you're in the Medina and experiencing what a traditional neighbourhood feels like. The bed was surprisingly comfortable although it felt hard at first - the room very comfortable with the sitcom / heater. Will definitely revisit this hotel.

Excellent staff

We stayed here for 2 nights in February. The room we had booked was not available, we were given a ground floor room for the first night and offered the suite on the top floor for the second. This offer was made several times, but we couldn't face packing and unpacking for one night. It was also cold when we visited, and the suite on the top floor was quite exposed. There were two issues with the ground floor room. The first was a platform bed that was difficult to get in and out of. The second was that it was necessary to have the door open on to the courtyard as there was no window. Unfortunately this meant that the room was filled with cigarette smoke when people were smoking in the courtyard. This gave us sore throats and we came back with our clothes smelling of smoke.

gem in Marrakech

It is a hidden gem in Marrakech. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but from the inside it is quite nice. Friendly service and a convenient location make this a great choice.

Faded glory

Apart from a hiccup at arrival (taxi wasn't at the bus station tower us as arranged) and a hiccup when leaving (taxi driver thought he was taking us to the bus station not Casablanca airport) we really enjoyed our stay. The riad is in need of a little tlc but Zak and Shakib were very friendly and helpful hosts.

Impossibly Nice

I normally prefer to say at least one thing negative about each place I stay in order to ensure it is a real review. Unfurtunately Dar Crystal was outstanding in every respect. The location was close to many interesting venues, the staff were helpful and the environment was relaxing.

Great lace to stay.

Lovely place to stay. Good traditional design, not too in your face showy. Staff wonderfully helpful and friendly. Great breakfast, effective wi-fi. Roof top well-designed. Within walking distance of the centre of the old city. Situated in the v interesting old Jewish quarter.

There were several alley way turns,

and a small sign at the door, but opening the door, the interior courtyard is beautiful. If you ask Abdul at the spice store near Bahia Palace, he will tell you the alley way turns. The room and bath were very modern and comfortable. The evening staff person did not speak English, but he worked very hard to provide good service. I would definitely stay there again. Although the alley way route was formidable at first, I (an older single woman) felt very safe in the medina.

Parfait !

Riad situé dans la médina à dix minutes à pied de la place Jemaa el-Fna. Magnifique, sur trois étages avec une terrasse ouverte avec vue panoramique sur toute la médina et sur l'Atlas. Chambres propres, décoration typique, calme avec petite piscine. Nous avons été accueillies par Zacharia, qui a bien pris une heure pour nous faire visiter le Riad, pour nous expliquer avec un plan tout ce qu'on pouvait faire à Marrakech et les alentours. À notre arrivée thé à la menthe et gâteaux offerts très appréciable ! Lui et son collègue Hamza étaient là pour nous tout les jours, prenaient toujours le temps de nous écouter et de nous conseiller sur la vie à Marrakech. Plus que serviable, deux personnes avec le cœur sur la main, que nous sommes heureuses d'avoir rencontré et tristes d'avoir quitté ! Petit déjeuner frais et excellent qui change tout les jours. Un grand merci à Djamila pour ces plats et son sourire ! Peut organiser des excursions. Les garçons nous ont organisé une excursion à la Palmeraie, nous ont commandé un taxi pour l'aller et pour le retour. Si nous devons retourner sur Marrakech c'est avec plus que plaisir et sans hésitation que nous retournerons au Dar Crystal ! Encore merci à Zacharia et Hamza pour tout.

The hotel itself is nice. It has a pool in the inner courtyard that is really refreshing in the summer heat. The bed's mattress however is really hard and was uncomfortable. The address of the hotel is wrong and no taxi driver knew how to get there. It is also impossible to reach by taxi as we found out and it is quite hard to reach and a long walk especially in 45C heat. We did not have an accurate phone number from the website and so we had terrible trouble getting there. Fortunately the locals are quite helpful and helped us find it eventually. The breakfast is nothing special but the atmosphere is good. its near the big square and the staff are helpful. The staff try to advise you on a number of activities but the ones they offer to arrange in their hotel brochure are quite expensive.

Ottima location

Riad molto confortevole, le camere sono tutte carine e pulite. La posizione è davvero molto pratica per visitare tutte le attrazioni principali della città (10 minuti a piedi dalla pizza Jemaa El Fna, 5 minuti a piedi da Palazzo El Bahia). Personale gentilissimo, disponibile ad assistere ad ogni richiesta, colazione ricca e varia ogni mattina! Nel complesso davvero una bella esperienza.
