Wonderful riad with attention to every detail without the commercial feeling. The owner, frenchman Oliver resident in Morocco for 25 years, and his wonderful staff makes their riad the perfect oasis in between excursions in the charming and "exotic" but rather kaotic city. When we arrived, we were immediately shown to the rooftop, seated in the warming sun and served "breakfast" (even though 11.30 am) by the smiling staff. And the genuine hospitality lasted until we left our escort at the airport going home. They also arranged a one-day trip to the Atlas mountains with a very nice guide, including a visit to a Berber market (on Thursdays only!) making you feel 1000 years back in time (I really recommend not to miss this!) and a nice walk to the waterfalls.
And please note that Dar Najat has their own kitchen/resataurant, although you always have to book in advance. We had one dinner here and it really made me convinced that Morroccan cuisine is one of the absolute best in the world.
As long as you are not after a large, luxury hotel with multiple restaurants and a mega-gym, it it virtually impossible to be disappointed with this place! Thanks Oliver!

“A place of irresistably laid back vibes, Highly Recommended.”
I travelled to Marrakech with my mum, Lynda and My sister, Vikki for my first venture abroad. We were warmly welcomed to Riad Dar Najat by Oliver the owner, who immediately made us feel comfortable in our surroundings, on arrival we were presented with breakfast, easily comparable to any sort of banquet, the food was authentic fresh and delicious consisting of warm breads, omelette, pancakes, fruit and a range of beverages from Mint tea to freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee. Meal times were immediately something to look forward to. In the evenings we were served Tagines of Chicken, Lamb, Beef Kofte all cooked beautifully and accompanied by exotic salads and vegetables.

I am not very travelled to put it mildly, and in other circumstances I think a place as culturally different as morocco could have been slightly daunting. However Oliver gave us excellent advice on were to go, what to do, and also importantly what to pay and when. He supplied us with maps, and also set us up with a very good guide when necessary.
The Riad was populated with a brilliant team of staff all of whom were friendly, extremely efficient and always willing to put themselves out to ensure we had a comfortable stay, even showing us around the Souks and markets to ensure we didn’t get lost. We were also provided with a pre paid mobile phone so we could contact the Riad if we had any trouble.

The Riad was organised with a meticulous attention to detail, the rooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. They were also cleaned and restocked with fresh towels every day. The whole place radiated good vibes (Aided by Oliver’s superb music collecton). There was an irresistibly laid back atmosphere suited to young people and more mature travellers alike. For me, my time at the Riad was integral to my experience of Morocco. The Riad Dar Najat Comes highly recommended.

Oliver, we can’t thank you and your team enough for an amazing stay.
