The pro’s of this property is the room is comfortable and has everything needed, and the hotel is close to attractions and dining options. Unfortunately the wifi is weak on the second floor where my room was and on the last night while I was eating in the restaurant, I was given an envelope by the manager to put my tip in when I checked out the next day, I was then asked 2 more times about the tip by the manager. This is very poor manners, pushy and made me feel very uncomfortable. A tip should be at the guests discretion, not forced! I hope they take this feedback onboard and change this behaviour.

Dar les Cigognes is superb, the staff is helpful, attentive and generous in the care they show for the guest. I have been many times to Marrakech and this stay was way above all other experiences. Kuddos to all the staff for the loving care they gave to my family and I. Much appreciated.

The reviews are accurate. This is a great small hotel to use as a base for a few days in Marrakech. Service is excellent. Food so good that we ate dinner once and lunch once as well as every breakfast. Just wish there was a pool. Enjoyed the Hammam as well.

Seven nights of splendor
We are so happy we chose to stay at Dar Les Digognes!! It was a peaceful oasis in the middle of busy Marrakech. Everyone that worked at this beautiful Riad did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We have traveled to nearly 50 countries and have seldom if ever felt more welcomed. We already miss the wonderful friends we made while we were there. A special thank you to Hayat and Hajiba who helped make our whole trip extra special! We miss you both.

This Riyad is an oasis. The second one steps from the road and into Dar Les Cigognes one is transported to another time, with effusive greetings, delicious peppermint tea, personalised attention and the aroma of rose petals. The guests are brilliant, the architecture is splendid, the food is sensational as is the entire staff, including Mme Hayat, Hajiba, Abdoud, Youssef, Aziz, Hamid and of course Khadiya.

I can’t imagine being at a better locale than Dar Les Cigonws. Hayat and the rest of the team were more than first rate — they made you feel like cherished family. The property is immaculate and well appointed. The location is tremendous - close enough to easily and quickly walk to any place in the Medina, but not right in the middle where it would be loud for all hours. This was, literally, one of the best experiences of my life, and I have been to over 60 countries.

I did not plan to stay here, but I was allocated Dar Les Cigognes because another booking had problems. However it was absolutely fantastic. A haven of peace and tranquility with very kind and attentive staff giving excellent food and drink. Incredibly hospitable.

Perfect location and wonderful service!
Our stay at Dar Les Cignognes was wonderful. The staff there are among the best I've seen, anywhere. They really make you feel like family. The rooftop patio is a great, quiet oasis from the craziness of the city. It's a lovely, traditional Road. Very intimate. In terms of location, it's great. About 10 minutes walk from the Jemaa el Fna. Very close to the palaces. They offer all kinds of options - cooking classes, massages, fine dining. My wife had a massage and loved it. I highly recommend Dar Les Cignognes!

Annie, New York

I had plans to stay at this property but unfortunately I was in an accident, sprained my foot, and had to be on crutches for 2 weeks. This hotel was not understanding at all and would not refund my hotel (not even partially). Hotels that don’t have any compassion or care for their guests’ health or well-being don’t deserve anyone’s business.

Pretty riad, central location, great staff
Pretty riad, centrally located but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the souk for some peace. Lovely roof terrace. Staff can’t do enough for you and make you feel very special and at home. Only downside, while the food was tasty, the quality was not as good as restaurants in town but priced the same. Also the hotel driver is quite expensive for transfers/trips compared to local taxis but staff are happy to arrange the latter for you instead.

Exceptionally Awful!
Avoid this Riad/hotel 100%...much better ones all over town. We had an awful time here and would never return. The food is ok-ish, service is terrible. You feel like you are just being watched all the time and that they just want your money. They even told us this, "spend all your money here". Not professional at all. The spa is a joke, lazy lazy staff. Go to a professional spa....with better service and prices. Book here at your own risk...you've been warned.

Unique Riad
Amazing riad for style and service. The terrace view over storks' nest are unique. Only one grey area...bed comfort in my Safary room was not the greates but the room decor, atmosphere and cleanliness were top.
