The property is comfortable, safe, quite, beautiful, breakfast was delicious ...the staff is amazing. Ilmad and iliass booked/suggested all our day trips, dinner reservations , tours around the Medina, shopping experiences..they both made our nine day stay extra extra special. Iliass always texted us when we were out late to make we were ok...and during the day. One time we were lost, he came with a taxi to pick us up. If i return to Marrakesh, i will stay at Dar Seven, its a quite hidden gem.

Our perfect stay in the Loggia Suite This was our first visit to Marrakech and first time away as a family and Dar Seven did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty, immediately being presented with home brewed mint tea whilst sitting in the beautiful courtyard of the Riad. Our hosts, Ahmad and Iliass were fantastic from start to finish. Their dedication to their guests is exceptional with nothing being too much hassle, day or night. They organised a private day trip for us up the Ourika Valley, visiting a traditional Berber house, a pottery, an Argon oil cooperative and a guided walk to the beautiful waterfalls. We even stopped for a quick camel ride on the way home! They made great restaurant suggestions, including Dar Zellij, a 17th century traditional Morrocan restaurant, just a stone’s throw away from the Riad. Another recommendation we visited was Chez Lamine, a restaurant frequented by A list celebrities, where lamb is lowered down into large ovens in the ground and cooked to perfection, in only a way the Moroccans know how. They even provided a lovely dinner on the rooftop of the Riad, where during the day you can view the snow capped Atlas Mountains- very romantic. The Riad itself is clean, with the suite refreshed everyday. There are multiple living areas to relax, the courtyard, the roof top and a living room. As we traveled with our one year old son, we booked the Loggia Suite which is the only room with a balcony overlooking th

A high recommendation for Dar Seven!
Dar Seven was a wonderful oasis amid the colorful, crazy, chaotic feel of Marrakesh. The staff were most attentive and accommodating to our every needs. The decor was most interesting and a delight to be around. Nothing but high praise!

Clean, nice, hotel, walking distance to the Souk
Just returned from 4 nights at Dar Seven. The hotel is quite difficult to find, so the staff will come and meet you and take you to the hotel. Once you make the trip several times it becomes easier to find. The staff will offer to walk you to restaurants, come pick you up, or arrange taxi/tuk tuk service for you. Be aware they will not help negotiate a good rate for you. As a tourist in Morocco, everyone is trying to separate your money from you. My experience at other riads was that the owner would tell you what to pay to keep you from being overcharged. This was not the case here. The hotel itself was very nice and very clean. The breakfast could be better, if you asked me. They offered bread (a lot of bread), eggs, nice orange juice, but not enough protein for my liking.

Dreamlike!
Amazing experience. An oasis in the middle of an old bustling city. Amal made us so welcome like a private home and the room was amazingly gorgeous and the atmosphere that the staff created was a constant dreamlike state we didn't even want to leave and explore the city. It felt like you were in a private home and not much of a hotel. It's definitely a wonderful place to fall in love (or again!)

Wonderful stay!
The guest experience has been thought about in depth at this delightful Riad. The personal mobile phone & collection by staff from the local square whenever needed meant we felt confident to explore fabulous Marrakesh. We were travelling with our 1 year old daughter and were looked after extremely well. Breakfast was always delicious & the peppermint tea at any time of day was so good! The staff even provided a beautiful gateaux for my husband's birthday as a surprise. The whole experience was an absolute delight & every room was stunning. Thank you all at Dar Seven.

Great taste, confortable, impecable service
went to Marrakech for work and I stayed at the Dar Seven Riad for 17 nights, it was perfect. The house is decorated with great taste, making waking up in that setting a beautiful experience. The linens, the lightening, the quietness, everything was carefully chosen to make the guest feel confortable and safe. I though Rachid and Ajmel were going to get tired of me because my stay was so long, but they were always courteous and did everything to answer my requests. There were bottles of water in the room every day and the bathroom was huge with everything one can need from nice amenities to plugs in the right places. Breakfast was always served impeccably and the moroccan crepes were absolutely delicious. The fact that they give you a local phone to be able to call in order for Rachid or Ajmel to pick yo up at the Place Sidi Ben Sliman is an the absolute evidence that the owner though about all the details to make your stay - long or short- confortable and very pleasant. I stay a lot in hotels because of work and I am not easy to please. Believe me when I say that the Dar Seven Riad is the best choice you can make in Marrakech.

Quiet, attractive riad on the edge of the medina
This riad provides the experience of staying in the medina, but is a bit away from the hubbub of the souks and the Jemaa el Fna. We took the train from Rabat to Marrakech and had arranged ahead for Dar Seven to send a driver to meet us at the train station. He was there waiting for us and drove us to the closest spot to Dar Seven that a car can get to. There, one of the hotel staff, Rashid, met us with a porter to bring our bags, and showed us the way through the winding streets to the riad. It would have been impossible to find otherwise. It was then quite surprising to enter through an obscure door at the end of a dead-end, partially covered walkway into a bright, airy, sunlit, nicely-decorated courtyard where we were greeted with tea (and paperwork). We were shown to our room and then were on our own. But the staff was very cognizant of the challenge of navigating through the medina, offering to guide us at any time back and forth between the place where the driver let us off (we managed to learn the way ourselves), and giving us a pre-programmed cell phone so we could call them at any time if we got lost (we ended up not needing it). We had dinner at the riad one night and it was the best meal we had had in Morocco to that point. The staff would make mint tea on request, and cookies were available in the courtyard. Another hotel staff member, Amal, took care of my wife when she stayed in one day with stomach issues, including making a special soup for her.

Dear Matt, Thank you so much for your lovely review and many apologies for only acknowledging it now. It's so nice to read about your experience and how much our team have helped. Amal and Rashid are still very much part of Dar Seven and continue to provide the same dedicated service you receive; nothing is too much trouble. The medina can be overwhelming indeed and like you, many of our guests appreciate being escorted or find our mobile phone if not useful, reassuring (it sometimes ends-up not needed indeed!). We hope you'll soon be back in Marrakech and at Dar Seven! All the best for now, Beatrice.

Notre séjour s’est très bien déroulé, avec un accueil et un service très au delà de notre attente, Ahmed et Illias étaient aux petits soins , nous nous sentions en totale sécurité. De plus ils nous ont très bien conseillés pour les restaurants et les choses à faire. Le Riad est très confortable et magnifiquement décoré.

Es la casa en Marrakech de una princesa italiana. La casa, con un patio central, es bonita, esta bien decorada y cuidada y carece de extravagancias. Tiene 4 habitaciones muy agradables (especialmente la habitación blanca) y el personal es servicial y amabilísimo. Desgraciadamente no habla inglés (a excepción de Simo y, en menor medida, Ahmed, ambos encantadores). Siendo una estancia agradable en un entorno que aún estando bien ubicado, no lo es tanto (Sidi Ben Slimane), sí se echa en falta la presencia de un "dueño" o encargado. Dar 7 está gestionado (magníficamente eso sí) por su propio personal, el que hace tu habitación o te sirve el desayuno. Por tanto le falta ese valor añadido que ofrecen los pequeños alojamientos con encanto: la supervisión y control cercano del dueño o del encargado cualificado. Como antes decía, su ubicación es buena pero en un entorno lúgubre que no invita a pasear libremente. El staff, sabedor de esto, se ofrece constantemente a acompañar a los huéspedes hasta "zona de libre tránsito". Esa dependencia lo hace algo incómodo, especialmente por las noches cuando se regresa de cenar, que el acompañamiento del staff es casi obligatorio. Tan es así que Dar 7 te entrega un teléfono local para tener contacto permanente en caso de necesidad. En definitiva, es un alojamiento agradable al que no acompaña el entorno, donde el personal que lo gestiona día a día, te tratará de forma excelente y muy amable. Las fotos de internet responden a la realidad.

Ganz besonderes Hotel mit super Service.
Wurde selten so nett und individuell betreut. Wir bekamen ein Telefon damit wir im Notfall telefonieren konnten und wurden zu sämtliche Restaurants und schwer zu findenden Örtlichkeiten gebracht. Morgens gab es ein tolles Frühstück auf der Terrasse. Kleines ganz besonderes Hotel, etwas versteckt dadurch relativ ruhig!!

Bel hotel, un peu trop cher pour ce que c'est
Nous avons été déçu par ce riad en comparaison avec les autres. À notre arrivée, nous avons demandé s'il était possible d'avoir une plus grande chambre puisque nous étions les seuls clients à cette période. Je suis consciente que tous les hotels n'offrent pas d'upgrade gratuit... mais c'est quand même un hotel de 4 chambres complètement libres... bref, après un appel, la gérante a refusé. Le fait que nous étions les seuls clients de l'hotel a peut-être joué contre nous. Le petit déjeuné étant inclus, nous avons commandé l'assiette de fruits frais pour nos 3 matins: 2 pommes, 1 banane et de quelques raisins... il n'y avait plus de banane la 3e journée. Les employés de service sont vraiment très gentils mais la nourriture laisse à désirer. Les espaces communs sont restraints et qu'il n'y ait pas de piscine et peu de verdure, mais ce riad est agréable et calme. L'hotel est propre et les chambres sont faites chaque jour. La literie achetée chez Ikea, est très confortable. L'idée géniale est de nous avoir prêté un téléphone marocain pour que nous puissions faire nous-mêmes nos réservations aux restaurants.
