Very kind staff and beautiful decor!! It’s a little far from the market (15-20min walk) which we preferred. Quiet and peaceful like heaven and the cute little pool is a bonus :) Highly recommended if you like tranquility over convenience!!

Gorgeous Riad, even better staff
Both Mohammed's are absolutely excellent. They are always happy and smiling and want to help but also remain mega professional. The Riad is stunning and super relaxing. We had an incredible stay and cannot wait to go back - would recommend to everyone.

This was a perfect Moroccan stay! A beautiful and private property with the kindest staff imaginable. Mohammed and his team did everything to make me feel at home. I would recommend this property to anyone and will most certainly return again soon! Many Thanks!

Property was gorgeous. However could review facilities, need more than 1 bin in a large room and bathroom, no drinking water or kettle provided, no tv in room. I understand they were going for minimal look but people need to "stay" in the rooms. Hidden gem, however not ideal for just girls to stay in the medina area in general, especially having to walk up the alley to have access to the riad. It was just 2 of us girls that stayed, the men around the area would always make sleazy comments when we walked out and around the area - so uncomfortable. Once we got a little lost in the medina area and a man offered that his friend would show us the way back to our riad, when we got back to the riad he was already there and he insisted that we pay his friend, even after HE offered to help - to a point where about 6 men ganged up and wouldn't let us go into our own riad. NOT SAFE FOR JUST GIRLS. The staff really dissapointed us. They were so lovely and super friendly when we arrived. On the first night they offered to take us out for a few drinks and shisha so we all went. When we came back the manager there Moha (Mohammed) lit up the fireplace and we ate mcdonalds while he continued to drink - he had a few too many and started to get a little touchy feely which i found so inapropriate so i called it a night and we went back to our room to sleep. after that night he kept inviting us to drink, we would decline offers, he would get wound up, give us a hard time, we booked an excu

Big, modern & beautiful, but far away from square.
The riad is very far,about 30 min walk by the easy route.But navigating through the souks is a bit daunting but w/ a gps app you can get there eventually.The riad isn’t well signed & no no. on the entrance doors & being pestered by the local kids offering help to get there through a longer route isn’t very settling.All these is compensated by the Riad beautiful architecture & the nice staff.They’ve taken a simplistic approach to the Moroccan style w/ clean hints of the Moroccan ornamentation.The bedroom we stayed in looked very sleek & contemporary.Our room didn’t have any locks, which we found a bit strange.There was no tv in the room,it didn’t bother us, but others may think differently.The shower was great but the water hitting the floor can be very noisy to others as most of the surface are just concrete & very echoing.We felt that the sheets weren’t well cleaned as I had running nose & sneezing due to the dust-mites.We must comment about the safe which isn’t bolted to anything,so I wouldn’t recommend leaving money in the safe as it can be taken w/ no problem. There is only one bin in the room, which we used in the W.C., leaving us to use plastic bags or cotton bags(which is largely used in Marrakech)to discard rubbish.We appreciate the minimalist looks of the riad but acoustic treatment solutions are much needed as during our stay some guests had children & we could hear a lot of banging & stumping noises throughout the day so falling asleep was a challenge.

Riad Zaouia 44 December 2018
Beautiful Riad but needs some updating and a good cleaning in places. Difficult to find but manager came out to meet our taxi and gave map and cell number in case we got lost. "Welcome dinner" ad fireplace on first night were lovely. Quite chilly in morning. A bit concerning that room is not locked when we were out.

Beautiful, peaceful riad, lovely staff
We loved this beautifully restored, peaceful riad - an oasis of calm in Marrakesh with kind, welcoming staff who couldn't do enough for us and especially our kids. Breakfasts are simple but delicious with fresh bread and pancakes and great coffee. You should also have dinner at least once - fresh, delicious, authentic Moroccan food in the most atmospheric setting imaginable!

Fantastic stay at Zaouia 44!!
Beautiful riad! I recommend staying at a riad when you visit Marrakech and Zaouia 44 is amazing! We stayed in the Douria Suite. Tasty breakfast was served every day and you can book dinner as well. Make sure to arrange for airport pickup with the riad (15 euros) because finding the riad is near impossible (no sign or street number). Thank you Momo and Muhammad!!

Good Hotel
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and all in all it was a decent hotel. We visited in Dec so Morocco is pretty cold during this time and the hotel itself was cold(maybe due to it being a concreted building and internal design was kept to that). Momo the night manager tried his best to assist with the evening coldness and we were very thankful to him. The owners should maybe think off acquiring more blankets or more heaters during Dec for their guests. Other than an issue during checkout which Momo came through and assisted rectify, the hotel itself is in a great location and is well worth it

This place has so much potential
The pick up from the airport arranged by the hotel (€15) was uneventful. Arrival at the Riad is somewhat worrying as the there is no signage at all, with a small black door and only a large knocker. Without using the arranged transfer we would never have found it. We were welcomed by Momo who was very helpful and friendly. We had requested dinner on arrival as this had been offered in a confirmation e mail from the riad along with their offer to arrange an airport pick up. Momo was oblivious to this arrangement saying they may not have received the email but it had been the same email accepting the offer of the transfer. We went out to dinner and at a restaurant he had recommended near the Jemaa. Not the best choice for our first night in Marrakech. Wifi in the hotel on the first night was not working but the wifi service was available the next morning after around 9:00am We stayed in a balcony suite overlooking the courtyard which was very spacious, the bed being super comfortable but for some the bed may have been a little too firm. The furnishings are getting rather shabby with stains on the sofa and the curtains hanging off the hooks trailing on the floor. The room was serviced daily but the rug on the floor was never cleaned during our three day stay. The simple breakfast is served either around the courtyard or on one of the roof terraces. The furniture cushions on the rooftop furniture is all white plastic. Either dirty or wet!

Paisible et original
Pour une première dans une Riad, un peu surpris à l’arrivée mais l’accueil et la disponibilité de Imad et Mohamed font qu’on se sent rapidement à l’aise et comme chez soi. Il est juste de noter le manque d’indication de l’emplacement quand on vient la première fois mais cela est valable pour l’ensemble dès Riad à Marrakech.! Google Maps fort utile

Als je aankomt bij de Riad verwacht je achter de oude deur, in een ietwat onderkomen straatje, niet deze oase. Moha en zijn team proberen het je zo comfortabel mogelijk te maken en doen hun uiterste best om je thuis te laten voelen. Niet alleen de accommodatie is heel sfeervol, maar met name de medewerkers maken het verblijf in deze Riad heel speciaal. Zeker een aanrader!

We had a great time in the Riad Zaouia 44: a relaxing oasis in the exciting hustle and bustle of the city. Very nice reduced and homogeneous design and the tagines of the house were the tastiest we ate during our 5 day stay in the city. Moha and his super friendly and nice team were extremely hospitable and always available for helpful advice. We recommend to use the pick up service from the airport. By taxi this can quickly become adventurous... A la prochaine fois!

Riaden er super fin, og lever helt op til beskrivelsen og billederne. Behagelig og meget behjælpelig personale. Desværre ligger Riaden i et lidt uheldigt område. Vi oplevede at blive forsøgt rullet og truet på gaden.

Un lieu magique et un service au top
Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits au Riad Zaouia44 et avons eu un réel coup de cœur pour ce lieu. Un vrai havre de paix où tout est fait pour que l’on s’y sente bien : une décoration très raffinée qui met à l’honneur les merveilles de l’artisanat Marocain, un patio intime, arboré d’orangers autour d’une piscine, une douce musique d’ambiance... Notre chambre très spacieuse était au calme absolu. Elle donnait sur le patio, notre fils pouvait sortir sans danger. Enfin, nos hôtes étaient d’une extrême gentillesse, très serviables et à l’écoute. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce Riad, qui est de plus très bien situé dans la médina, à seulement 10 minutes à pieds des souks.

Riad ligt in het slechtste gedeelte van de medina, buiten de deur niet veilig voor vrouwen alleen, binnen is het schoon en personeel is vriendelijk maar we zaten midden in het hak en stucwerk en het ontbijt gaat na twee dagen ook vervelen. Lekker maar simpel en heen variatie, dakterras niet goed genoeg om te relaxen wordt bijna niet gebruikt

Toll, wenn man es etwas individueller mag
Das Riad war unsere Oase in Marrakeschs Trubel. Man findet es kaum, auch die Gegend scheint eher einfach - ABER! ... es war einfach herrlich dort für uns. PS: Der Pool ist das Wasserbecken! Nichts anderes. PPS: Die Dachterrasse war nur eingeschränkt nutzbar. Nicht ganz staubfrei und zu heiss (im April)

schönes Riad, ein wenig außerhalb, kalte Zimmer
sehr schönes Riad, leider ein wenig außerhalb, man braucht mind. 20 Minuten (wenn man den Weg kennt) zum Djemaa el Fna. Das Zimmer ist sehr groß und sauber, nur ein wenig staubig. Die Bettwäsche/Matratze ist leider schon ein wenig abgenützt. Es war sehr kalt in meinem Zimmer (Anfang Februar) da hilft leider auch das Heizen mit der Klimaanlage nichts. Es wäre toll wenn man da Heizstrahler anbieten würde! Frühstück ist sehr gut & sehr viel. (Marmeladen, Honig, Butter, Brot, Pfannkuchen, Tee/Kaffee, Orangensaft, Joghurt...) Hotelpersonal sehr hilfsbereit und bemüht! Die Terrasse könnte ein wenig gepflegter sein.
