My friends and I just returned from a week in Morocco. We spent our first three days at the Riad Dar Dialkoum and were most impressed with the calm and peaceful feel of the place. From the moment we arrived we felt most welcome as Muriel offered drinks and treats and indicated places of interest on a map with recommendations for restaurants in the medina. The staff are very friendly and the standard of service is high. Beyond the bed, breakfast and option for dinner, Muriel and Laurent's hospitlity includes water, mint tea, coffee and "normal" tea free of charge. They also provide delightful home made treats and snacks.
Basically nothing is too much trouble for this lovely couple (they provided transfer from the airport, ordered taxis, booked restaurants and Hammam and spa treatment appointments).
The Riad is beautiful inside with orange trees and a fountain in the area where you breakfast and dine. This is a traditional building with seven rooms which only have windows to the interior of the courtyards, so expect to put the lights on in your tastefully decorated room. The room was comfortable with plenty of soaps, shampoo and lotion in the bathroom. The only thing that marked me down from an "excellent" was a bed I personally found too firm and a curtain to my ensuite - I am partial to a bathroom door.
I would recommend this Riad to anyone who likes to feel like they are in a home away from home. It was a lovely experience.

Following our taxi driver from where he parked just inside the old city walls, we were delighted to find ourselves inside Riad Dar Dialkoum, stepping inside to an oasis of calm. The busy streets felt miles away but it still felt very central. Muriel and Laurent made so much effort to help us, right from the first email exchange to the day we left. We loved the food and ate there twice in the evening, the breakfasts were delicious too. The roof terrace is a very relaxing place to sit, and we had the luxury of mint tea brought to us whenever we wanted it. Setting off on foot to explore the city we realised the usefulness of its proximity to the city walls, we could use them to navigate to the main square and avoided getting lost. This was after our first attempt at walking straight into the centre and getting completely lost! A magical three days.

So glad to have found this absolute gem Riad in Marrakech. Muriel and Laurent were lovely and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived.

The room was lovely and we enjoyed meals offered as well. Coffee was brought to our room when required which for us was greatly appreciated.

The environment in this Riad is extremely tranquil, a very big change from the souks outside so you get a lot of variety.

This riad partners with Easyspa which is very close by and we decided to take advantage and get a massage there on our last day. It was just what we needed.

Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Marrakech and recommend this place to others.

We’ve just come back from 3 nights at Riad Dar Dialkoum and it was fantastic.
Correspondence with the owners prior to arrival was excellent, they arranged an airport transfer for us and suggested day trips etc.. nothing seemed too much trouble. We were met at the airport by a driver, all very easy. The trip from the main road to the riad seems a little daunting: following a local cab driver into the unknown craziness of Marrakesh’s streets got the heart racing a bit but we soon arrived at the grand wooden door of the riad. Flanked by peeling painted terracotta walls, the entrance was everything you expect from Marrakesh and a riad. Behind the door really was an oasis of clam: two courtyards, one with plunge pool, a stunning roof terrace, beautiful decor throughout. We stayed in the Maleka room on the first floor. The room was a great size, wonderful bathroom, queensize bed etc.. The staff were fantastic, Muriel gave us a thorough introduction to the city, maps etc.. and tea, water was available as we wanted. We had breakfast at the riad and one evening meal there- the discovery menu. Food at the riad was more expensive than in the city but I guess that’s the price of convenience. That said our meal was excellent and they catered for my veggi wife- the only place we found that seemed to!
The riad is easy walking to the main sights of Marrakesh and is easy to find (2nd right, 2nd left!). We;d totally recommend it to anyone, we paid 100euro a night for our room which we thought was good value, but I think some rooms were cheaper. I know some riads are cheaper but we tried to book somewhere else first and they didn’t get back to us well on email. Muriel and Laurent and their staff were excellent. I should also mention click excursions whom we did a trip to the Ourika valley with- worth a look if you’re after getting out of the city for a day.
Big thanks to Riad Dar Dailkoum for making our first trip to Morocco so wonderful- we'll be back!
