A 5-room Derb El Hammam riad with an underground hammam and rooftop terrace hosting two Berber-style tents, run by host Ibrahim.

Riad Azrur is on Derb El Hammam, Assouel, in the medina — a name that turns out to be literal, since the property's hammam is built into its underground floor. Guest reviews converge overwhelmingly on one name: Ibrahim, the host, credited across multiple independent platforms with airport arrangements, city guidance, and a welcome of mint tea and pastries. The riad has 5 bedrooms spread across ground and first floors, each individually decorated with air conditioning and private bathrooms.

No confirmed pool exists at this property — listings consistently describe a courtyard and rooftop terrace with two artisanal tents rather than swimming facilities, a genuine gap versus some of the site's other Marrakech riads. Booking.com rates it 9.5/10 from around 175 reviews, while TripAdvisor's smaller sample sits at 4/5 from 28 reviews — likely sample-size noise rather than a real quality gap, since the substance of complaints in both is minimal.
