Dar Kandi is absolutely fantastic. We stayed in 2 different Riads in Marrakech, and the second just proved to us how special Dar Kandi is. We had the room with a balcony, so it felt extra special & VIP, for a great price. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the staff is always there to help you with anything you need or want. The Riad itself is beautiful, cozy, and very safe/secure. We've never been to Morocco, and weren't sure what the safety would be like, and as we walked to the Riad we were extra unsure. But once we were there for a day, we knew we were very safe at the Riad and in the area. I was in communication with Aouatif via Whatsapp after booking on booking.com. She made sure we were well taken care of, and even helped me plan my GF's 40th birthday & made it extra special for us! So special that it drove me to write a review everywhere I can. Aouatif also helped to make sure my breakfasts were Gluten Free. Once they knew I had an allergy, I never had to say it again - not even to staff we hadn't met yet. They all knew. We were very well taken care of. Besides being in a fantastic location, in between many of the Souks and within a 20min walk of the gardens, as well as the square, the Riad is very quiet throughout the night and the day. It's truly a hidden Oasis in the middle of a very fun city. Dar Kandi also has fantastic massage and hammam on site. Aouatif is great at offering all the options & she has all the connections for the excursions, transportation, etc. We used her for all our transportation needs, because we had already booked our excursions prior to arriving. If you're looking at Dar Kandi as your Riad in Marrakech, there's no comparison - We HIGHLY recommend this one!

I love this place, and there's not many places I go on my travels where I come away thinking I can't wait to come back. Fantastic ethos in general. The staff were excellent - in particular Mohammad and Zahir. So attentive and caring without being overbearing. Always there for you & so genuine, going above and beyond for your comfort and happiness. Super location, very central and just off the main street, with everything so walkable but yet it is this amazing, quiet oasis. Almost like a spa. The first thing you notice when you come in off the bustling streets of a chaotic Marrakech, is that it's so tranquil and peaceful. Good for the soul. There is a tasty breakfast each morning and a feeling of being at home, happy to wake up each morning. If you're reading this, I've been in your shoes, reviewing places online on where to stay in Marrakech, so trust me - just book here and go - it's a wonderful dream of a place!

Nothing. Everything was great!

Extremely beautiful riad. Almost like museum nestled within a garden. Was only there for a night so did not get to use all the facilities but its a really quiet spot in the medina. Perfect for those looking to experience the old markets. I was really sick in the morning and the staff were kind enough to brew tea to help me quickly.

The place is really nice but unfortunately our room was right on the ground floor facing the main room where guests check in and out. However, the rooms are shield well so no problems regarding privacy or anthing like that.

Breakfast was delicious - quite sweet though with cake and pancakes. Yogurt and fruits Eggs and toast. The main dinner we had was also delicious and very well presented. The ambiance in the hotel is second to none - the staff are all amiable and kind. The riad is stunning and the attention to detail is second to none. We particularly loved the interior design, freindly staff and relaxed vibe. We loved our stay and wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers. This is an oasis of calm and tranquility in the hectic chaos of Marrakesh.

Perhaps more refreshments could be made more readily available. A fruit bowl in the room for example...

Beautiful riad in a great location. It was amazingly decorated and kept so clean. It smelt like flowers constantly. Our room was stunning and it felt like home the minute we arrived. All the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious too. We had a few bottles of the wine and enjoyed them in the lobby. The rooftop is also beautiful and a great place to relax. Only a short walk from most of the main sites and nicely located on a smaller side street. Lots of shops and restaurants and atms within 5-10 minutes walk. Thank you to everyone at Dar Kandi, we will see you again one day I hope!

We stayed at this exceptional Riad for three nights in July, it is by far the best place we have ever stayed in Marrakech. Our ground floor suite was luxurious and uniquely decorated with traditional Moroccan charm. The staff were all exceptional, incredibly helpful, and eager to please, especially the manager Aouatif who always went above and beyond. Breakfast every morning was divine in the beautiful courtyard open to the sky, it was so serene and tranquil. We also loved the panoramic views of the medina on the rooftop terrace, the comfortable loungers and the pool was the best thing in the blazing heat. Overall, Dar Kandi is a perfect blend of opulence, tradition, and modern comfort, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the bustling medina.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dar Kandi and have already decided to return for our next visit to Marrakech. This was our first time visiting in July, and we were unprepared for the intense heat, which reached up to 44°C on some days. While a small fridge in the room for water would have been appreciated on the hotter days, its absence was not a major issue. During our stay, we stayed in a ground floor suite that opened to the courtyard. Next time, we plan to choose a balcony suite to enjoy a more private outdoor space.

This accommodation exceeded all expectations we had. We stayed in the suite with the balcony and I highly recommend it, nothing like having your breakfast or coffee/tea served on your private terrace. The property is so beautiful and well-kept, just stunning. Clean, modern rooms with all the comforts while still retaining traditional touches. Kind helpful staff. We arrived early and when we returned later that day to check in, our luggage was already moved in to our room. Many touches like that that just make staying here a dream. From visits to other riads in the city, we concluded this one is really top value. Location perfect- close to the souks but still quiet and so peaceful. Wish I could stay a month - will be my go to recommendation for a stay in Marrakech.

Nothing at all

This riad is absolutely fantastic, with every detail of its décor thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in Moroccan culture. Located within walking distance to most things in Marrakech, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, and were incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and caring. A truly memorable stay, and that I would highly recommend. We would love to return to this hotel and stay again in the future.

I stayed with a group of 4 for a week at Dar Kandi and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Breakfast was amazing! The rooms were immaculate and very clean! The location was great, the roads outside the Riad can be a bit lively during the day but the area in which the Riad is nestled is so quiet, it’s almost like you enter in a different world. You are also very close to shopping, food, and getting around was a breeze. There are taxis available nearby and you can even walk as there are sidewalks on the main roads. I travelled with a group of females and we all felt very safe. The Riad is absolutely beautiful 100/10 recommended!

I loved everything, it was fantastic!

It’s a very upscale Riad with glamorous and luxurious design, the central patio is really beautiful as well as the rooftop terrace, the pool is super enjoyable Our room was big, very comfortable and equipped with lots of nice things It is located in the best area of the Medina and easy to find.

The spa services unfortunately aren’t at the same level of the Riad. The massage we had was very short and very flat, the massage beds are very short and my husband couldn’t even fit. My pedicure was a disaster, kindly the hotel waved me this fee as I complained The breakfast seems a bit “industrial’ and not as home made as in the other riads we stayed
