I love Lolita. She is the Dar Maia Owner/manager, and is just charming, always smiling and at our service. She's also a great team manager. Her team, Yassine and Mohammed, speak Spanish, French and just enough English for us to communicate. Amina communicates with sign language and warm smiles. An intimate, 5-room Riad perfectly located at a 5 min walk... More

We arrived as a party of six to celebrate a landmark birthday of mine & were welcomed with charm & simple efficiency. A wonderful place to stay, quiet & peaceful but central to all the fantastic Marrakech bustling sights & sounds. Breakfasts & rests on the always sunny rooftop terrace were especially poignant. Lolita & her staff are simply fantastic... More

Having spend time in Marrakesh before, I had certain expectations in mind. We only had five days away from work and being the first time away from our babe, we were determined to have a great time, what ever happens. Without a shadow of a doubt, arriving at this Riad was a beautiful surprise, and set standard for the rest... More

Our stay was only a short one, but the owner and staff, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Very conveniently situated. Near to all the main sites and tourist attractions. But in a very quiet position. Breakfasts on the roof terrace were a great bonus.

Had a really great time in Marrakech, Riad Dar Maia made it even better. Situated in the centre of the city. It is very comfortable and is 5-10 mins from most of the main sights.Friendly staff, great breakfast and sunny rooftop terrace. Will go back to marrakech and would stay here again. Thanks Lolita

We spent 10 days in Morocco and used Marrakech as base, staying at Dar Maia on 3 separate nights. Rooms are clean and so quiet - hard to believe its only 5 minutes to the main square. Beds were comfortable and offered a decent breakfast. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would stay at Dar Maia if we were... More

My second visit this year, this time I booked the whole Riad for a friends 50th birthday on my recommendation. All six guests were over the moon, pretty spotlessly clean rooms, a wonderful roof terrace, attentive staff, brilliant location in the hub of everything but an oasis of peace inside. Bliss. Till next time.....

For those who seek a warm welcoming riad in the centre of the city, with clean rooms and an excellent view from the roofterras: Riad Dar Maia is your choice! Owner Maria and manager Imane take care of the place with love for it's customers and personell and this is what you feel once you've entered the narrow door in... More
