Comments (English):
very unpleasant staff !!!! Although we previously booked 2 double rooms and had paid advance, they have found just 1 such room, and they settled of the second couple for one night to room for 7 persons: the door was not closed (and certainly things we could not leave there) and WC with shower was on another floor. In double rooms toilet and shower located in the room and separated with curtain! The hotel is very dirty, there are so much dust on the shelf that we couldn’t use shelf. Bedclothes was so dirty!!!! There are things and rubbish of the previous tourists at the rooms. Breakfast had to be (was included in the price), but when we went out to walk from the hotel after 9h at the morning , we couldn’t find anybody of the staff (everywhere was full of silence), and therefore we had breakfast outside the hotel.

Comments (English):
24 hrs reception not available, no city maps, general toilet roof is too small i.e 5.8feet, if you are tall u can take bath in standing way.
dormitory with 7 beds has weird smell in room,suffocation.

Best way to reach is get bus number 19 from airport n get down at Bab dukkala from there is just 5min walk, simply before traveling make direction from google maps, otherwise kids on street will guide you to hostel and ask money

El hostal es bueno, una vez que estás adentro, para llegar es un poco peligroso, porque no tiene ningún letrero que lo identifique. Un habitante nos pretendió llevarnos, pero desconfiamos por su aspecto. Hasta que llegó otro y tuvimos que darle dinero.
Nos metieron por una entrada alterna, que es un callejón y sí fue algo impresionante, porque muchos niños se acercaban.
Adentro cambió todo, el hostel tiene unos diseños de arquitectura del Magre muy bellos. El desayuno es pan tradicional de marruecos con café. Tienen un par de baños, en no muy buenas condiciones, pero si la ducha es rápida no hay problema.
La atención es buena. Sólo una persona habla inglés, y las demás árabe y francés. Los alrededores es una zona muy típica, para quien guste de un turismo de convivencia con la comunidad. Yo sí lo recomiendo, con sus precauciones. Saludos desde México.

Fuimos un grupo de estudiantes. Nos intentaron engañar. No nos hospedamos en este lugar porque no correspondía con lo ofertado en la web. El nombre no aparecía en la puerta. Las imágenes que aparecen en la web son falsas. El lugar no dispone de ningún servicio. Es lúgubre, sucio, siniestro. Nada que ver con otros Riads de Marrakech. Nos amenazaron y nos han cobrado sin habernos hospedado. Hemos reclamado a nuestros bancos porque no sabemos a quien dirigirnos.
Mala experiencia.

Yo no he estado hospedada en Dar Zaida y me han cobradao la reserva y dos recibos más que corresponden a 135€€.

Asi que ruego de inmediato que me devuelban de inmediato mi dinero o tomaré las medidas legales oportunas.

Quisiera decirles que las fotografias no corresponden al hotel, todo deplorable.
Les invito a que pasen por allí.

Not as described in the description, my room was an airing cupboard, just enough room for me to fit it and i'm over 6' tall, constantly woken up in the morning by staff getting sheets etc. Had to ask for directions as i would never had found it otherwise but that didnt bother me, glad i was only stopping for 2 nights, the staff ok but seemed to cater more for the French speaking customers
