My daughter and I stayed in the beautiful Riad Joya last week for 8 days and it didn't seem long enough! The Riad Joya is perfect and a Joy to stay there. The staff were all so lovely to us, we felt very safe and cared for. The rooms were large, warm, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. On our check out day they allowed us to have the room right up until our departure and even cleaned it and replenished our fruit. We ate there twice and it was lovely, the wine was wonderful and service personalised. We were a little worried when we arrived as we had never been to Morocco before and had heard all sorts of tales. The Riad staff escorted us as long as we wanted them too. They suggestions of shops, restaurants and places were great. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Thank you all so much, we miss you all!

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this beautiful riad for a week in Novemer 2012, and it really was amazing. If going to Marrakech, staying at a riad instead of a hotel is a must. This is the best one. Not only were the rooms stunning, and so well kept, but the riad was so quiet. Coming home after spending a day in the busy Medina was such a pleasure, we really felt at ease here. Everything was so serene, and we often enjoyed a glass of wine at the room before dinner.

Best of all, though, was the staff. Everyone was so nice, and as a young couple we stayed out a bit late a few nights, but each time, our dear friend, Nordin, stood there waiting for us as we arrived back at the riad. We felt so well taken care of. Riad Joya is a true gem, and everyone should experience hospitality like the one shown to us there.

Thank you again to everyone at Riad Joya, for making our trip to Marrakech so perfect!

Best regards, Lars and Stine, Norway.

We stayed three nights at Riad Joya. It is right in the middle of the medina, making it very convenient for shopping in the souks and night time trips to the square.

The rooms were tastefully decorated and very quiet. The showers were great. The breakfasts were also terrific. Joya provided us with a very nice atmosphere for relaxing after a day of exploring.

The staff were incredibly helpful. Every concern was addressed promptly, and the staff went out of their way to make our visit a delight. They also arranged for local guides and an excursion outside of Marrakech.

But, we also had some small issues with our stay. We visited during a time when it is quite cool in the evenings. The heater for one of the rooms had limited capability and the room always seemed to be two or three degrees cooler than we prefer. Also, the lighting in the rooms is very subdued and reading at night became a challenge.

We stayed in the Riad Joya for six nights and could not have enjoyed a better stay. Our suite, Naos, was perfect and we enjoyed spending some time each afternoon on the roof terrace - cloudless blue skies and quite warm (20C) for January. Very different from the snow and ice on our return to the UK. Above all, though, we enjoyed the highest level of service, from Nourdine and the rest of the staff. Very highly recommended.
