Have just arrived back in the UK after 7 wonderful nights here!

The Riad itself is beautiful, the decor is lovely and it was really nice to relax on the roof after a day of explporing. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfy. After a day out in Marrakech it was great to come back here, in fact a relief at some points as it was so serene.

Nicolas makes everything so easy for you. He arranged for our airport transfers (15 euros each way, but definately worth it). He then meets you from a drop off point and takes you to the Riad. This is a must as without his help we would have no chance finiding it. On arrival he also gave as a Marrakech mobile, and a map to get to the Riad and up to jemaa el fna. He also organised for us to go on a trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls which was for a good price and was a brilliant trip.

Only 2 small things, the alley way leading to the Riad, although we were told it was well lit, is actually very dark. I had my phone with me and we had to use this as a torch for a little while. Without it, part of the street was very dark. As well we had also arranged for a meal on our arrival night, and although the meal was lovely, Nicolas had forgotten I was vegetarian (and I perhaps should have reminded him on arrival) and I was served a beef tagine. Although apolgetic, it would have been nice if the price of the main was not charged. Not a big deal though as starter and dessert were lovely and both filling.

I would definately stay here again, and would definately advise others to book here too.

I and my mother stayed at the riad for 5 nights, and Nicolas and Jean-Rèmy managed us to feel like we were home.
When we arrived a car was waiting to take us to the riad (previously booked), Nicolas met us close to the riad and walked us there. After we left everything in the room, he showed us the way to Jemaa el-Fna, in details, pointing every reference he could. It was perfect and we never got lost in Marrakech. He also gave us a little map (which was really helpful) and a cell phone in case we needed.
They where really helpful with everything that we've asked, since booking a desert tour, until changing the date of our train ticket.
Our stay was perfect, every day we got an amazing breakfast at the rooftop. We also had dinner two times, and Hicham cooking was perfection.
We spent my mother's birthday at the riad, and for desert Nicolas managed to buy a cake. Lovely!
The riad is located in the medina, 15/20min to Jemaa el-Fna, there's some restaurants and some shops close to it.
We stayed at a beautiful room, with a double bed, and a bathroom. It was a little bit dark, but for what I've noticed that's how the rooms are illuminated in Morocco.
We just wished we spoke French (my mother only speaks Portuguese), so we could spend a few hours chatting with them!

A beautiful and traditional Riad with a central courtyard and roof top terrace. Whilst difficult to find first time (the offer of a taxi from the airport and being met by Nicolas on arrival at the nearest vehicular access point is worth taking up), once you have been taken to the riad and also to the main square, navigating the twisting alleys of the medina after this is easier. Riad Zahr is a 20 minute walk from the main square and is in a very quiet location away from the chaos of the souks and square.

Nicolas and Jean-Remy are excellent attentives hosts, and nothing is to much trouble. The provision of a mobile phone to contact them if required is a nice touch. The breakfatss were always fresh and tasty and even in February it is warm enough to eat breakfast on the roof terrace.

The room and riad were traditionally decorated and very comfortable. The ensuite bathroom always had hot water available for a shower. Wifi was also very efficient.

We would recommend this beautiful riad to anybody visiting Marrakech. Excellent value for money in a homely setting.

There is overwhelming choice for places to stay in Marrakech, but Riad Zahr is definitely a safe bet for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Nicholas met us from the taxi (a necessity, as Riad Zahr is well hidden and not sign-posted) and gave us a mobile phone, map and a tour of the area to ensure we could safely navigate our way around. Nicholas and Jean-Remy are perfectly attentive hosts and we couldn't have asked for more from them. The meal they prepared for us on our arrival was superb, and they were only too happy to arrange a day-trip to Ourika-Asni for us.

Our room (the superior double) was clean, simple and tastefully decorated, with a private toilet and shower. There isn't a key for it, but it is a secure building and our belongings were safe there everyday. Breakfast on the roof-top every morning was a treat - the weather was beautiful even in February, and the various pancakes, breads and jams were delicious. The coffee was the best I have ever tasted, and the location of the Riad means that it is very peaceful and quiet, but still only a 15-minute walk from the main square.

They also have a young cat, which was a plus for us feline-lovers, but might not be if you don't appreciate loud meowing in the early hours of the morning.

We paid 45 euros per night for the superior double room, including breakfast, which was excellent value. I would happily stay here again, although there didn't appear to be any air conditioning which might be a problem in the height of summer. Highly recommended.
