Everything was absolutely perfect. I can't even begin to think of one thing that was wrong or went wrong. The pictures don't do the Riad justice. This was the highlight of my trip, after a horrible stay in the Agafay desert. The Riad always smelt so good, so good in fact I brought some of the scents to take home with me. The decorations are beautiful and you can tell there is a lot of attention to detail. I feel like I booked the best Riad in Marrakech. AC was the absolute best. I'll miss eating breakfast in the courtyard, it was so pretty and breakfast was always served with a smile. The chef was always putting out delicious food. I see why the rating is so high, and it's well deserved. I can't wait to come back, this will be the only stay I ever book when in Marrakesh. You can tell this Riad is well maintained and taken care of. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality.

That I had to leave and I won't be seeing Fatawjas smiling face everyday. Sorry if I spelt your name wrong but you and the staff are amazing.

From the moment we walked into Dar Kandi, we were enveloped in peace and calm—it truly felt like an oasis. The entire riad was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the most incredible scent throughout. I loved it so much I even bought the fragrance to take home! Zahir, Yoseff, Hassan, and Aouatif were absolutely wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond to make our stay seamless—helping with our luggage, preparing refreshing detox drinks, and serving delicious breakfasts that were perfect for vegetarians. They also assisted with translating and coordinating for our tours and activities, which was incredibly helpful. When we had a last-minute flight change requiring us to leave at 4:30am, they handled everything with ease and even arranged our taxi without hesitation. The riad itself is stunning, with a relaxing pool that was perfect for cooling off on hot days. Our room was exactly as pictured—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. We had such a lovely stay and would wholeheartedly recommend Dar Kandi to anyone visiting Marrakech!

- The riad was very beautiful. Tastefully designed and just a little island of tranquility in the area. - The breakfast was nice. Basic and carb heavy but still nice. - The staff were very friendly, proffesional, and helpful. Made some great restaurant recommendations. Always on hand to help - The room was nice and spacious. A little bit darker than expecting but also cosy - Location was decent. Not too central inside the old town and not to far from a main road (for taxis) - Good wifi - Good aircon

Honestly it was a great stay. If I had to pick some things for improvement: - Some sort of cooked meat with the breakfast would have been great (merguez sausages?) - The room should have a bin! (Although weirdly there is no bin in all the Moroccan hotels I've stayed in)

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!

The riad looks absolutely beautiful. As you walk in you suddenly find yourself in a complete different world from what you see in the street. Me and my family loved our room. It was designed in art-deco style mixed with maroccan stucco and interior elements. The courtyard was breathtaking. My daughter particularly liked the rooftop pool which came very useful on extremely hot days. Breakfast was rich and tasty. All staff was excellent. Manager was extremely kind and helpful in everything we needed. I totally recommend it to anyone.

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!

Nothing.

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.
