    A door to the bathroom would be my only slight negative. No problem for couples but friends may want a little more privacy.

    Location was very central. Staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Dar Kandi and each meal was fantastic.

    Nothing at all

    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.

    Just a 15 min walk away from the central square and most sites, its location is perfect. Taxis are available just around the corner for greater distances. The facilities are great, the room is spacious and very clean. There are comfy sunbeds on the roof you can use and a shallow pool you can go into to cool off from a hot day. Breakfast was great! Our hostess was very helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. She helped us with our dinner reservations and made great suggestions for our outings. Thank you for everything !

    This place is a beauty. A hidden gem in the old city of Marrakech. We felt so inspired and energized during our stay. Aouatif, our host stands for the Moroccan hospitality! Her smile and enthusiasm is enchanting! She showed us around, gave us advice where to go and made our stay unforgettable! Thank you for this beautiful experience! ✨🌸

    I wished they changed the bedding more frequently, thats the only thing I noticed. The rest of our stay everything was spik and span!

    The aesthetic is beautiful and the staff went out of their way to make our stay AMAZING! Our belongings were save, I even left cash money on the bed for the house keeping but they put it on the side of the bed - that shows so much trust!

    Nothing! We had a lovely time.

    Our experience at Dar Kandi was really exceptional. From the airport pickup to check-out, all of the staff were incredibly warm, accommodating and helpful; we really felt right at home. Aouatif, the riad manager, was very helpful throughout the entire stay and was able to meet any need we had and then some. The central courtyard was beautiful and relaxing and the room we stayed in was very well designed and appointed. We ate several times at the restaurant and the meals were delicious; we also had a hammam and massage which was a wonderful experience.

    I loved everything, it was fantastic!

    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!

    Me and my grown-up children were really happy with Dar Kandi. The facilities were of excellent quality, very clean, the rooftop where breakfast could be served upon request was a big bonus and the overall ambiance was so relaxing and calm. The staff with Aouatif as manager were fantastic. Very helpful and you could ask them for advice whenever. We also found the location exceptionally good.

    Amazingly elegant Riad, a wonderful sanctuary in exciting but hectic Marrakech

    Everything was great but a few small changes to the menu to include wines by the glass and cocktails. Breakfast from 8am for early checkout would be great although were able to get fruit, yogurt, orange juice, tea and pastries at 8:15. We had checked in our return journey online when we checked in outgoing journey, unfortunately i didn't view our boarding pass and i would have realised our mistake. The female manager recommended the Riad's taxi service to pick us up so we would arrive 2h before our flight; we did say that immigration was very slow but she insisted 2h was good. We did arrive 2h before, however, in Marrakesh airport I would give longer, closer to 3h as checking in, immigration, passport control and security are burocratically very slow. A prompt by her to ask if we had printed our boarding pass in advance would have been helpful. Online boarding pass on phone is not acceptable in Morocco (any airline) as paper copy needs to be stamped. I think Morocco and Istanbul are the only countries (that Ryanair fly to) that require this protocol. We were lucky the check in staff wrote out paper boarding passes for us but this added to waiting time. This affects all travellers, even those with only hand luggage have to queue to get boarding pass stamped. The Ryanair website when checking return flight should warn more clearly of this anomaly but I think the Manager should also be aware and alert guests to this and also advise to give more time.

    From the moment we arrived to the warm friendly smile and gentle humour of Mohamed, the amazing scent of Fleur d'orange and the tasteful decor we knew we had picked the correct Riad. The design of the Riad is beautiful but has that amazing skill of balancing comfort with style so you feel that you are home and safe. We stayed in room 6 which was spacious, stunningly stylish and superbly appointed. The whole Riad is immaculately clean and a credit to the cleaning staff. The roof terrace is small and relaxing and was perfect for our first lunch. Breakfast each of our three mornings was Moroccan, freshly made, very tasty and plentiful. We had dinner and wine on our last evening and it was lovely abeit a bit quiet. Food and drinks service was excellent, extremely professional, warm and friendly without being intrusive, the staff were extremly helpful. The weather changed and one of our days there was tropical, torrential and relentless rain so we were lucky we had the relaxing option of staying in Dar Kandi for most of the day reading and using the Hammam and massage. Dar Kandi is well located just off Derb Arset Aouzal and Route Sidi Abelaziz a working neighbourhood. Taxis continously pull up at the junction beside Riad Dar Moha. The area was hectic but felt much safer compared to Jemma el fna and main medina area with less intrusive requests to buy from stalls. We can recommend Cafe Pikala (very close by for a great healthy option with friendly staff for lunch) and Regue Jamma (lovely tagines, couscous and friendly staff). Mohamed recommended La Maison Arabe on our first night and while more expensive than other options it was a wonderful experience and delightful atmosphere. One of the guys (sorry i can't remember names) was extremely kind and walked us to La Maison in case we got lost and was much appreciated. Highly ecommend Dar Kandi, we just wish our stay was longer.

    We’ve stayed here in December 2023, right before Christmas. This place is amazing! I don’t even know where to start! The staff are friendly, helpful and really care about you having a great time. Anything you need, they’re there to make it happen! The food is fresh and super tasty! There’s so many options and each day you have something different! We are vegetarian and that was never a problem! We also had dinner in the Riad on the first night and it was so delicious! I highly recommend it! We also did the couples hammam with massage and that was so relaxing! I really enjoyed it! The room was really stylish and clean. When I say clean it’s an understatement! We’ve never stayed in a place where your room is cleaned 2-3 times a day! At times we’d come back, shower, change and go out again and when we’d come back the room was cleaned again! The location is great: it’s local to everything! We loved our stay here and will come back for sure!
