I recently spent 3 nights at the Dar Najat and simply put, it was awesome. Marakesh has an amazing pulse and once you have experienced the madness of the Medina, it's refreshing to return to your Riad and soak in the tranquility of your surroundings. Dar Najat was the perfect place to do so. They have a great rooftop deck from which to observe the city or to watch the stars at night with a cold beer in your hands. Oliver, the owner, has created the place with warmth, from the amazing staff, to the soft lighting at night, to the great music that fills your soul. And, to be honest, one of the best meals I had in Marakesh was the first night I was there when they produced a lamb in a prune sauce that was truly first class. Be sure to challenge Oliver in a game of backgammon if you are up for the challenge. Don't even hesitate about booking here. It's righteous. I will be back.
