We stayed at Dar Najat for two nights after a short holiday in coastal Essaouira. There we had been staying in the excellent Riad Bab (see 5 star reviews), also owned by Olivier, but as the wind got a bit chilly, Olivier embraced our revised plan to arrive in Marrakech a day earlier. We were met at the bus station and driven the short distance around the city walls (with a wonderful introductory commentary from the driver!) and into the medina where Olivier's staff met us and took us by foot through the tiny streets to the riad. It is beautiful! We arrived in the dark so everything was lantern lit and the terrace was completely magical. We had such a good supper and, on reflection, should have enjoyed the excellent cooking of Dar Najat's Kitchen for both nights. Our bedroom was perfect: beautiful, spotless, comfortable, quiet and with gorgeous antique mirrors, lanterns and furniture. It felt palatial and yet completely accessible and friendly too. In the mornings, we had delicious and plentiful breakfasts of eggs, pastries and fresh fruit, and were shown the way to the main square and advised about safety (food and physical), where to shop, where to eat, what to see and why for a short stay it really was worth doing the most touristy of things and taking a kalesh ride around the Medina (it was -- we went and saw things we would never have seen on foot). The staff prepared a perfect last lunch for us on the terrace before arranging for and taking us to the airport-bound taxi. This was included in the price as was our arrival taxi and one of the meals. You couldn't ask for better service, fresher food or a warmer welcome. We will certainly return.
