Found this place at 2am after searching the old medina for a place to stay after my train arrived late to Marrakesh. I had checked all the hotels in the guidebook, but they were all full or locked up. One of them suggested I try this place and when I arrived they showed me the room and quoted a price per night before I agreed to anything. The room itself was very clean, the sheets and blankets especially, which does not always happen in Morocco. I had a private bathroom with hot water, again a rarity in Morocco. The central room was well decorated and looked like a palace! Included breakfast every morning on the rooftop terrace was the best way to start the day. You can also watch the sun go down from the roof, listen to the various calls for prayers and hear the faint bustle of the Djemma-al-fna nearby. This Riad is centrally located to all the interesting attractions in the old city but it felt quaint on the quiet side alley. Certainly not loud or busy. I had MUCH worse experiences staying in Fez or Rabat at similarly sized hotels. Furthermore I got all of this for a very reasonable US$50 a night. I didn't have much choice at 2am, but I can't imagine having made another one. Had an AMAZING time at Riad Doha and DEFINITELY reccomend it to others.

A Moroccan friend recommended Riad Doha and I was hesitant after reading the other reviews, but I do not believe the several negative reviews are warranted. I live in Morocco and have stayed at a number of riads, hotels and motels, and this is definitely excellent for what you usually find in Morocco. About the only negative thing I can say is that the room was a bit dark - the windows looked out into the center of the riad but there were no windows looking outside.

My husband had recently broken his leg and was on crutches so we were upgraded to the 1st floor suite. The bathroom was one of the largest I've seen in a riad in Morocco, with an area to sit in in the large shower (so it would work well for elderly or handicapped guests). There was plenty of hot water and it was consistent, not like many places in Morocco where sometimes it is hot and sometimes it is not.

We were with another couple when we arrived late on a Sunday night, and the management showed us to the rooftop terrace where we enjoyed the temperate evening climate with a cocktail and some snacks we'd brought along. They brought us glasses, plates, bowls and a large bottle of water, and showed us where we could store additional items in the refrigerator/freezer during our stay. A typical Moroccan breakfast was served there each morning as well, with different kinds of bread, coffee, tea, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Look for the pet turtle, birds, and an occasional visiting medina cat to join you for breakfast.

The management was friendly and very helpful. Since we went to dinner quite late (after 11:00PM), not a lot of restaurants were open. Several places they recommended were closed, but one remained open for us and they navigated with us through the mazes of the medina to find it. The customer service was definitely far above average. We paid right before we left after staying for several nights. I do not know if they accept credit cards, but since so many places in Morocco do not, I am used to paying with cash.

Another nice thing about the riad is its location. It is very close to the square and the souks but is in a very quiet alley with no traffic noise, people or cars. Our friends in the same riad said they were awakened by the call to prayer early in the morning, (which is also common almost everywhere in Morocco), but without an exterior window, we did not near it so slept right through it.

Everything in the riad and the room was clean, comfortable and working. (We kept the A/C on for most of the time as the days were still quite warm). I felt very safe and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The location was great being close to the market and the included breakfast on the rooftop terrace was generally very good. The breakfast was coffee, fresh orange juice and breads/pastries. That's about all the positive I can say.

The management was very erratic, at times being very helpful and at others being rude. The hot water was often not available, we heard a number of other guests complain of not having hot water. Making this even worse the heater in our room was not working and December nights were cold. My impression is that the owners are operating on a very tight budget and cutting corners on upkeep and repairs.

Another inconvience was when we came in the last evening there, they insisted we pay that night, we were leaving the next day, this would not have been a problem as we had an early flight, however they said they were not set up for credit cards and we had to go back out and find an ATM to get cash. I will not stay there again.

An adequate riad in a great location, about 5 minutes walk from the Djemma. Our 4 bed room (for us + kids) turned out to be a double room with a double mattress on the floor. Not entirely as advertised. The decor was reasonable but a bit shabby and in need of a brush up. The riad staff were friendly and left us to our own devices. The room was clean enough, welcome cool but quite dark. I didn't feel secure enough to leave valuables in the room - no safe provided - but this may just have been my over cautious nature. Breakfast was served promptly on the sun terrace and was tasty. The riad would have benefitted from a bit of extra thought - no glasses were provided in the room, for example and when I complained that the bulb had blown in my lamp, they took the lamp away and never returned it. Overall, a cheap basic riad which benefits from its central location.
