We loved our stay at Riad Diana. The staff were warm and welcoming, looking after all our needs during our four day stay. And the location could not be better for accessing the main sites and sounds of Marrakech.

The room itself (the ground floor Wahid room) was extremely comfortable and spacious, with one of the largest beds I have seen!

The hammam and massage were superb - a really relaxing way to finish our stay before heading back to the airport.

Our only regret was that we were unable to join the cookery class as we had so much else we wanted to explore around this vibrant and stimulating city.

We would go back to the Riad Diana without hesitation.

We stayed here for a joint birthday/anniversary holiday. Thoroughly recommend having the hotel arrange taxi pick-up else yo'd be very hard pressed to find it yourself. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and always available, especially good seeing as the riad only has 5 rooms.

We had the room on the roof which was lovely, if compact, and had the run of the terrace while we were there which was great. Breakfasts were good, varied and tasty. We had the hammam and massage which were brilliant, felt really soft and relaxed afterwards. We did the cooking lesson and made the best meal of our stay! Visiting the market to get the ingredients was an eye-opener, you'd have to be quite brave to choose chicken...

We ate most lunchtimes at Cafe de Place Des Ferblantiers which was excellent value with a tagine for under three pounds. Djemaa el-Fna was an experience as were the souks. You have to be very firm to get a bargain and the constant hassling from peddlers , some 5 or 6 years old, gets a bit wearing. Some of the guide books recommend visiting the fixed price stores, these are actually more expensive in most cases.

Anyway, all-in-all we'd go back and stay at the Riad Diana again and probably take some trips up into the mountains or into the desert to get more of a feel for the country away from the hustle-bustle of Marrakech.

I stayed at the Riad Diana just after Christmas - the trip was a treat for my Mum and we had a wonderful stay. The staff are friendly, and those on the front desk speak excellent English so all our questions were answered. They're super organised; we were emailed in advance by the Riad and pre-booked airport pick up and drop off, our first evening meal, a day trip to Essaouira, and a cooking lesson. Ahmed took Mum and I through a food market frequented by locals, where we picked out all our ingredients, and then we cooked and ate the best meal of our trip. The location is in the heart of narrow market streets, which we loved as we felt like part of the action! The only downside is the breakfast: if you are wheat or gluten intolerant then you will find the three types of wheat products served to each person (usually croissant, pancake and bread roll) a challenge! Mum had never travelled outside western Europe before, and the staff made her feel well looked after! Thank you Riad Diana xx

Difficult to find but just ring them and they will come and find you, really helpful staff, good rooms, excellent breakfast and really good location close to medina. Highly recommended.
