Dar Rocmarra

We stayed at Dar Rocmarra for 3 nights. We were met at the taxi drop by Jamila who took us to the riad where we were served mint tea and sweet snacks whilst being told everything we needed to know about our visit to Marrakech. Our room was cosy and immaculate and the bed was sprinkled with rose petals. The central open courtyard is incredibly beautiful and peaceful and is a perfect place for breakfast. We had dinner in the courtyard one evening and had a Tagine prepared by Jamila which was the best Tagine of our trip to Morocco. The rooftop terrace is a perfect spot for chilling out with a drink in the evening. We loved our stay at Dar Rocmarra being looked after by Jamila, having chats with Jalil and having an immaculate room courtesy of Latifa. If you're reading this wondering if you should stay at Dar Rocmarra, the answer is yes. You will not be disappointed.

Loved our 3 night stay at this beautiful Riad. You will not find a better location to the old town, you can walk everywhere. The breakfasts were excellent, as were the staff who were super helpful and made sure we maximised our time in Marrakech. The highlight though has to be the roof terrace where you can spend some time relaxing and sunbathing.

Dar Rocmarra was the key to a first trip to Marrakech - and for the next trip too! Hidden away among the alleyways of Dar Bacha is a real jewel. Forget your same-as international chains, this is real Marrakech with superb standards - the space, the gorgeous rooms, the cool courtyard, the rooftop terrace, fantastic food and outstanding service - day or night. Located within mere minutes walk of the vibrant souks which are the heart of Marrakech and just beside all the services - bustling markets, restaurants, hammans, taxis, currency exchange and ATMs, Dar Rocmarra is tranquil oasis is a traditional Moroccan building with all the mod-cons. It is spotlessly clean - and I mean really spotless - and gives a wonderful sense of safety and security. The owners, Julie and Rob happened to be there when we arrived and we got the lowdown on just about everything we needed to have a wonderful few days in Marrakech. Jemilla, Jalil and Lefitah took wonderful care of us and served up a marvellous breakfast every morning to set us up for the day - in the cool courtyard and up on the rooftop terrace, a great sun-trap fully kitted out with loungers for a quiet read or take the sun. Marrakech is a feast for the senses and a real eye-opener. We found it safe, friendly, with fantastic food and the haggling in the markets was part of the fun! Dar Rocmarra organised our transfers to and from the airport - just 20 minutes away - and at all hours efficiently and we were met at the nearby taxi drop-off and brought to the hotel. If you want a REAL Marrakech experience in tranquil comfort, right in the heart of the old city, this is the place for you! Very happy to recommend and definitely will return. Thank you Jemilla, Jamil, Lefitah, Julie and Rob for a memorable few days!

Lovely quiet riad, very friendly and helpful staff with fantastic breakfast in the morning. Very close to the hustle and bustle of the Medina but the riad is so peaceful that it feels like you’re in a different place! Would definitely come again - hopefully for a longer stay next time

We stayed at Dar Rocmarra for 3 nights with another couple and had the most amazing time, we couldn’t have asked or a better base for our stay. Jamila was an amazing host and on hand for anything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat and will 100% recommend to anyone planning to visit Marrakech.

An absolutely beautiful riad in a great location in the Medina. The rooms and whole riad are spotless, the rooftop is absolutely beautiful with loads of space to relax, read, sunbathe and eat meals etc. The staff Jamila, Letifer & Jalil are all beyond helpful and there for anything you need. Breakfast was great and we asked Jamila to cook for us one night too which was actually the best meal we had of the whole trip! Couldn’t recommend enough.

Jamila and her team’s service and hospitality were impeccable. The breakfasts plentiful. The hotel was quiet, charming and very clean. Excellent value for the money. The tour company we used for the desert had recommended it (Desert Majesty). Well located (in the Medina, can walk everywhere but quiet). We stayed in 2 different rooms, one bigger, one smaller, both were great. Highly recommend. Truly wonderful experience, service and premises alike.

Fantastic from the waiting car at the airport until we were dropped off at the airport. Directed from the DarEl Bacha the 3 minute walk down the narrow derb to the Dar Rocmarra pleasantly surprised by the authentic decor of very different en-suite rooms. I liked mostly the calmness just minutes away from the heart of a busy city. Hot on the comfortable terrace cool in the rooms. Nothing a problem for the wonderful family staff. Special thanks to Jamil for making sure I made the airport car at 3.30. I will be back!!

We arrived from a 3 day desert tour and Jalil met us where the tour guide dropped us off. The Dar is only a 5 minute walk from the main attractions but is far enough away that there is no noise on a night time. We were welcomed with mint tea and Jalil gave us a map and explained how to get to all the nearby places. He also gave us a card with the Dar's information so that if we got lost, someone would be able to help us get back. We stayed in the Berber room and it was beautiful! There was so much attention to detail it felt like we were royalty! There were rose petals everywhere but not just thrown on the bed, someone had taken the time to select similar sized petals and create little designs which just shows how much effort was put in to preparing our room. The room was SPOTLESS. When we went out for the first time Jalil escorted us to the main road and pointed out features in the street to look for to find our way back which was really kind and helpful. The first morning, we were greeted by Jameela who told us there was a table on the roof terrace for us. It's honestly so beautiful up there and we really felt like Kings and Queens the whole time we stayed. Breakfast was incredible! There was omlettes, bread, jam, honey and butter every day but then the rest varied between pastries, msemen, beghrir and a different fruit and different flavoured yoghurt each day. We went out for the day and came back to our room completely clean. At this point, we had been in 8 different hotels/riads in morocco over 3 weeks and nowhere had cleaned our room each day so we assumed it was normal to bnor have a cleaning service. We were so tired the night of arrival that we left our stuff everywhere but the staff here had gone above and beyond to clean and organise our things for us. Once again, there were fresh flowers, perfectly folded toilet paper and clean sheets every day. They really went to so much effort to make our stay hassle free. We also noticed that for the first couple of nights, we were the only guests because it was a quiet time in Marrakech but even though it was just us, they still made sure everything was perfect. They lit tealights every day, made sure there were fresh flowers, turned on all of the lights on the roof terrace at night for us and so many other lovely little things. I'm sure other hotels would not bother doing all of that for just 2 people. During our trip across Spain and Morocco, we stayed in 11 hotels/riads total, and BY FAR this was the best. It was also one of the cheapest. We will definitely be returning and staying in the same place because the Dar was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the service was incredible. Everyone was so kind, helpful and went over the top to make us feel welcome. To sum it up, I would say that during our stay we were treated like royalty but felt like family. Thank you so much to everyone at Dar Rocmarra ❤️❤️
