Dar Touyir

Our visit was wonderful, We requested pick up service from the airport and where met even though we took 1.30 hrs to clear customs . Then we where received very warmly at the Dar ,everyone was helpful , the room was clean and the terrace lovely , They made every effort to accommodate us and make sure we where happy . Location was just a short walk from the Medina

The location of this riad was easy to find and located right inside the medina. My friends and I were greeted by Aziz who was a university student studying English. It was only his 3rd day, so he was a bit nervous and spilled our welcome tea. It was not an issue, and he was very polite and helpful.

My room located on the 2nd floor was small, but cozy. There was only enough room for the bed and a side table. My friends' rooms were a bit larger and had desks and chairs. The room had a small closet and a safe. The bathroom was clean and pretty in a terracotta color. One thing to note is that there is no shower curtain or real separate shower, so the floor will get wet. Also, none of the rooms had locks and keys. When in the room, we had a small bolt to lock it from the inside, but when we left the room, we had a small bolt to close it from the outside. But basically anyone could go into the room when we're out. Something to note if you're traveling alone or have valuables. There is someone at the front desk 24/7 though.

Breakfast was on the rooftop and consisted of bread and pastries. I was so sick of bread at this point in the trip, I just ate anything else but that -- which sometimes included pancakes or eggs.

My friend had to travel to another city for a flight and was trying to figure out whether to book a taxi, take the train or bus at 4/5 am. We asked Aziz for his recommendations for a taxi company, but he said he didn't have any. I think he didn't quite understand us at first, but came back to us ten minutes later with the info of someone they use for transportation. He called the driver on our behalf and arranged it all. At 5 am, he also walked my friend to the meetup location in front of the nearby mosque.

Muhammad was so helpful kind and friendly to us. We were collected from airport and had a beautiful 3 course meal on arrival to Riad. He answered any questions we had to navigate Marrakesh and ordered pizzas for us one very rainy evening. Nothing was too much trouble.

Room was clean and simple with a good powerful shower. Breakfast served on roof terrace if sunny which was simple but adequate.

Khaoula was also very helpful and welcoming. Together with Muhammad we felt true kindness and made our trip so special.
