Stepping through the Riad door into a peaceful paradise from the noise and bustle outside to receive a wonderful welcome was perfect. Isabelle was very welcoming and the staff efficient. Would definitely return and recommend without hesitation.
Where do I start - the Riad itself was beautiful, a real oasis of calm in the hectic world of the Medina - just a couple of minutes walk away from the throng of the souks and Djema el F'ner. Isabelle was a fantastic host and made a real effort to talk to and make her guests feel welcome. The food was fantastic, the service great and it was a really peaceful place to stay after a mental day on the markets. I would certainly recommend this place, and sugget anyone who does decide to stay to take Isabelle up on the offer of an airport transfer as it is a bit difficult to find initially and it takes the stress away of being dropped in the middle of nowhere! Thanks Isabelle and team :-)
i loved everything at the riad. the staff were excellant. isabelle is a wonderful lady who is so helpful ; she goes out of her way to ensure you have the best possible time at her riad.the rooftop is fabulous and i loved the tent. i would reccomend this riad highly to anyone.
Ambience and comfort superb going during Rammadan we literally had the pool and terrace to ourselves- very peaceful.
We were not able to speak French and without an I pad staff could not speak English so we couldn't get much information. The Riad is hard to find and if you arrive late at night be prepared to feel a little daunted going through alleyways to find it! Isobel would benefit from explaining both these points before arrival to prepare stayers who travel by bus or taxi not linked to her riad.
Riad Hizad is an oasis of calm in a chaotic city. Isabelle and her staff were wonderful; friendly and welcoming :) Dinner on the terrace is beautiful and a definite must! We would definitely recommend Riad Hizad
We loved the location as it was very close to the main square,the breakfast was delicious French of course,we liked Isabelle the owner who was most entertaining and very likeable and offered every assistance to make our stay comfortable, we liked our room and a comfy large bed,we liked the roof top pool area where breakfast was served, the area was quiet except for the occasional call to prayer from a mosque in the distance ,we would have hesitation in referring this property,also you must pay in cash as credit cards are not accepted.
A wonderfull surprise to arrive at after trekking thru the Medina. A marvellous restored Riad which has been done with a good sense for detail and in very good taste. stunning rooms all with some fantastic doors an with big comfortable beds. the rooftop terrace was beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast there in the mornings and drinks there in the evening. Isabelle the owner and createur is an excellent hostess - very helpfull and at the same time discret. Her recommendations were very reliable.
If we had know the position of the riad we would not have chosen it - but after a day or two it added to the extra charm and in the end (4 days) we became very clever to find our way thru the souk.
The owner has spent a lot of money to recreate this riad to it's former glory and has done it with great style and taste and in fact it is like staying in your own home in Marrakech ,
As I have saiid the location is in a down at heel back street of the Medina which at first sight looks dodgy however after a few days you realise it is very safe and the local people are very friendly . We spent four nights at Riad Hizad and did not meet the owner apart from a brief telephone conversation on arrival , For such a personal Riad it would have added to the experience to have met her although Hassan and the female staff were extremely nice and nothing was too much trouble for them .
Perfect 10/10!! Location = 10. Service/Staff = 10. Cleanliness = 10. Rooftop terrace/pool = 10. By far the best Riad I have ever stayed at, do not miss this new hidden Gem!! Riad Hizad is located just minutes away from the world famous Souks, and also minutes away from the Jemaa el Fna. Isabelle and the entire Riad staff are super nice and very welcoming. They prepared a romantic dinner for myself and my girlfriend which was breathtaking with Moroccan charm. Isabelle even took us out shopping to the best local shops which was lovely. Definitely book this Riad if you are looking for location, friendly staff, pure Moroccan culture and cleanliness.
Nothing, this Riad is perfect!!
