Dar Kandi

Wonderful riad if you are looking for a piece of tranquility amongst the hustle and bustle of Marrakech’s medina. Centrally located and within easy walking distance to everything the old town has to offer. You can also walk in about 25 minutes to the Gueliz neighbourhood with its bars and restaurants and the Majorelle garden. ||Dar Kandi was a genuine luxury experience combined with incredible Moroccan hospitality. Our room was the balcony suite which we loved, but all the rooms look fantastic. Make sure you carve out some time during your Marrakech trip to relax at the rooftop pool area, it’s so tranquil and stress reducing. ||The service from the staff was second to none, the breakfast was brilliant (I’m not normally a breakfast at the hotel kind of person but this was a great way to start each day before exploring Marrakech). ||I would never usually stay in the same place twice as I think life is too short for repeats, but for Dar Kandi I would happily make an exception!

This place a an absolute gem on the best location in Marakesh. The staff are really nice. The rooms are spacious and well designed with amazing interiors. The food on our first night when we arrived was delicious as was the breakfast every day. The roof top pool is an oasis after a day sight seeing. We had the balcony room which I would recommend as it has an amazing balcony. If we come back to marakesh we will def come back here !!!

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 every day. Sorry if I spelt your name wrong but you and the staff are amazing.

Had a great stay, rooms are large and confortable especially the bed, breakfast amazing, and the service is definitely on another level as everyone was absolutely lovely and helpful. The Riad is in a nice location very close to all main attractions, but once you are in it is super calm! Would definitely advise this riad

Absolutely exceptional. It was like you were transported to heaven. The raid is immaculate, clean, zen, oasis. Modern. One of the best places I've ever stayed in the rooftop pool is gorgeous. The rooms are decorated to an inch of their lives. The washrooms are impeccable and the service is incredible. Aouatif is a fixer in the incredible sense. Every single person who worked for her was competent, kind and on time. From Yousef, lovely Yousef, who took my family to the Atlas Mountains to Sayeed who guided us through mosques. We got into a bind all the way in Essaouira with a terrible car rental company and she actually came to the rescue and helped us, organized to get us a car. Incredible stay. Gorgeous place and such amazing service. Thank you!

Quiet little oasis hidden in the heart of Marrakesh. Great stay overall - room, food, service. Hammam spa was available in the hotel itself and is a great option if you don't want to seek out a dedicated hammam. We stayed in a room right off the main courtyard, so it felt like it lacked some privacy, but the room itself was beautiful and well equipped. Fairly centrally located in the Medina, but very easy to get lost and confused while navigating the tight ‘streets’. Had a bit of a conflict with the porter upon arrival to the Medina gate, but was arranged by the previous hotel and the staff at Dar Kandi helped resolve the confusion.

Wow! What a place! Dar Kandi is like a hidden oasis in the heart of the Medina. In can be found down a quiet alleyway, close to the action, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. You can walk to the main square in 15 mins or the popular souks in under 5 mins.||The riad itself is very traditional and decorated beautifully! It is very clean, comfortable and the staff were wonderful! From the moment we stepped in the door, we were welcomed like close family friends. We stayed in the Balcony suite which was very spacious, quiet and cosy. The bed was comfy and the shower was massive! I would certainly recommend this room and also breakfast on the balcony was a special and unique experience. The only thing we didn’t like much were the windows into shower room. They didn’t seem to provide much privacy from guests/staff opposite or downstairs. Frosted glass would be good here.||The roof terrace is definitely a bonus. You can have a beer, coffee or soft drink up here but you can only buy wine by the bottle (not sure why). The pool was cold in December so we didn’t use it, but I can imagine it being refreshing in the summer. It’s quite a small area with just a few sun-beds. Luckily we’re not the type to lie around all day (some guests were up there all the time!). If you want a bed by the pool, get there early.||I would personally like to extend a special thank you to all the staff for arranging a birthday cake and decorations for my wife’s big day! She absolutely loved it!

Absolutely beautiful and stylish place to stay. It's gorgeously decorated, super clean and the staff are very friendly, attentive and kind. We stayed in 4 suites, as we stayed in Marrakech at the beginning and tail end of our trip. I stayed in the suite deluxe and the balcony suite, both beautiful. Preferred the suite deluxe as it was more spacious for our family. The rest of our family stayed in the touche deco and colonial suite. They loved the colonial suite as it was super spacious. ||Breakfast was plentiful and good. Lots of baked items, yogurts, and eggs to order. We ordered dinner one night and were not impressed. Food was ok, I had read so many reviews raving about the dinner menu, so I was disappointed to say the least. ||Wonderful little pool and rooftop area. The only con was the last two days of our stay we couldn't use it due to "it might rain". It didn't rain, my kids were disappointed. ||Location is excellent. We managed to get around the city and Medina on our own using Apple Maps. The hotel is located right by a main road so getting around was a breeze. ||If I were to return I would definitely come back to Dar Kandi. Lovely people and a very beautiful and comfortable hotel.
