Seven suites of 35-45sqm beside the Mouassine Mosque, each with a walk-in shower and separate dressing area, 300m from Djemaa El Fna.

Riad Joya sits in Hay Mouassine, immediately beside the Mouassine Mosque and about 300 metres from Djemaa El Fna. It's built around a small interior courtyard in traditional riad style but scaled as a 7-suite boutique hotel rather than a multi-room guesthouse — each suite runs 35-45 square metres with large windows, a walk-in shower and a separate dressing area. On the roof, a sun terrace doubles as an aperitif bar in the evening, and a fine-dining restaurant serves guests who don't want to leave the property.

The property rates 4 of 5 on TripAdvisor from 429 reviews and ranks #40 of 909 Marrakech hotels, with reviewers consistently naming staff for personalized attention and local recommendations. Rates average around $226 a night, cheapest on Wednesdays, with premium suites booked closer to $280 including breakfast and airport transfers — toward the upper end of medina riads rather than budget territory, consistent with its suite-sized rooms and dedicated spa.
