I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Riad Tzarra. The serene atmosphere offered a peaceful retreat from the vibrant hustle of Marrakech's souks, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I loved how the riad was a short walk from the busy medina but felt like a hidden oasis. One minor downside could be the initial confusion finding the location in the busy streets, but it was well worth it.

I had a lovely stay at Riad Tzarra, enjoying a comfortable atmosphere with fantastic service. The breakfasts on the rooftop terrace were a good treat, offering a variety of options to fuel my explorations.

I had a wonderful weekend at Riad Tzarra, which turned out to be a haven of peace in the bustling Medina of Marrakech. The tranquil atmosphere and beautiful decor made me feel right at home, while the staff's really good service really stood out. Though the room was lovely, the bed wasn't the comfiest, and I did hear some noise from outside. Overall, it was a good stay and the perfect introduction to Marrakech.
