Fijne riad met goede comfortabele kamers. Prettige sfeer en oase van rust in de hectische stad. Mostapha en Zakia waren heel behulpzaam. Vervoer van en naar de riad werd goed geregeld. Prettige gesprekken en heerlijk eten. Een absolute aanrader!

Everything was perfect. The home is well equipped and so charming. The hospitality of the staff is superb. We loved our breakfasts everyday and Mostapha was quick to help with arrangements or suggestions as needed. The location of the dar is perfect. Being near the Parking Bab Taghzout lot meant we had an easy place for drivers to pick us up for excursions outside the city. Everything else was walkable, although taxis are plentiful nearby.

A Wonderful Riad Experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed being able to experience a lovely Riad in a quiet neighborhood which was also quite accessible to the Medina. Mostapha could not have been more helpful. So willing with a great smile on his face to help us with logistics, organizing tours and giving very helpful advice. Zakia is a wonderful cook and we thoroughly enjoyed our authentic Moroccan dishes for breakfast and dinner. Everyone we interacted with were absolute all stars and would gladly stay again!

Great Place in Marrakrch

What made this property really special was Zakia (wonderful cook) and Mostapha (property manager). Both were friendly, helpful - couldn't do enough for us. Riad is well appointed (lots of stairs), clean and comfortable. Location in the Medina within easy walking distance of souks, and attractions. Highly recommended.

Lovely property - Mostapha and Zekia ( manager & cook) we’re fabulous- took care of our every need- a convenient location in that the taxi could drive into Medina and the a short walk to the Riad.

Perfect for Enjoying Marrakesh

We stayed 6 nights and found the property to be comfortable and well located for visiting different sites in Marrakesh. Nice amenities such as a rooftop terrace for catching the sunset and relaxing before dinner. The staff, Mostapha and Khadija, are very personable and helpful. It was great to feel like there was always someone there to assist us. Mostapha helped us arrange reservations and transport. Khadija is a wonderful cook with a welcoming personality. We enjoyed talking with them both. It all made for a great week in Marrakesh!

Great Moroccan experience

Our family of 4 adults & 2 children ages 2 & 4 had a wonderful stay at Dar Essattatia. The owner, Philippe, was responsive to all our questions & helpful with all the information we needed. The Riad was comfortable and the many rooms had lovely touches. It's located on a quiet street in the Bab Taghzout neighborhood in the Medina w/ easy access to taxis. The souks are an easy walk & so is the Jema el Fna. The manager, Mostapha, met us at the airport & took us to the riad. He was a valuable source of information & suggestions & greeted us every morning to help w/ any arrangements we needed. Khadijah prepared our delicious breakfasts & on request served us fantastic dinners. She shopped for fresh foods each day & spent hours preparing these traditional Moroccan meals. She also took care of all the housekeeping duties & kept the riad spotless. Both she & Mostapha were great w/ the children & we all felt like we made two new friends. We would highly recommend this riad for a great Marrakech experience.

Lovely Riad with a great rooftop

Family of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) spend 3 nights in Riad Essattatia, We received a very warm welcome from Mostapha and Khadija who has prepared a delicious chicken tajiin for dinner just as well as she served us a nice morrocan breakfast and fresh pressed orange juice every morning. Khadija is a very lovely lady, she only speaks arabic and french but we managed it anyway. Mostapha is also very friendly guy with a good sense of humor, speaking a very good english and he informed us very well to let us loose in the Medina with do's and don'ts). The riad is very beautiful with spacious rooms and lovely bathrooms, a great great rooftop with a spa and a nice corner for the hole family to relax. We hope to come back soon and we definitely recommend Riad Essattia and it's lovely staff.
