bryan mitchell
I am so glad we chose Dar les Cigognes for our four night stay in Marakech. We loved everything about it. The riad itself is so beautiful; peaceful, restful and cool. The roof terasse is a wonderful place to relax and take coffee and meals. The rooms are very well equipped with lovely big, comfy beds. The locationis perfect, just outside the city walls, with every attraction within easy walking distance. Special mention goes to the staff:Hayst, the Manager, and Hajiba the Concierge are so warm and welcoming and genuinely enjoy making sure that your stay in Marakech is a delightful as possible. They are supremely knowledgable about all thr local attractions and will arrange cars or taxis for any and all necessary transfers or excursions. Our waiter was Abdo and he was soattentive and caring and sweet. Which brings me to the food: it really is the best we found in Marakech - honestly I would recommend esting exclusively at the riad, as the quality and setting is unsurpassed in the city.
My wife and I also enjoyed a vigorous and rejuvenating hammam bath, expertly applied by Amina, who was as lovely as all the team in the riad.
I have travelled very extensively over decades and can honestly say I have never enjoyed a property and hospitality so much as I have here - if you are planning a stsy in Marakech you MUST stay at Dar les Cigognes.

Stepping into the courtyard you immediately feel peace and quiet. It’s a paradise in the middle of the bus Medina. Location is great as it’s walking distance from the Bahia palace and Jemma el Fna. The place is clean and unique. The staff is very friendly and Hayat (manager) is amazing! She makes sure everything is taken care of. I would highly recommend a stay.

The manager and her assistant were so very friendly. They really made for a wonderful experience.

Hotel Dar Les Cigognes
Very friendly staff who couldn´t do enough for us. The food was a little disappointing but that could be because we do not know Moroccan cuisine.
The restaurant is alcohol-free including no beer.
The room was very comfortable with good air conditioning.
Very good location and easy to get around.

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.
Jorge
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.
John
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.
Lucien
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.
Jared John
Thank you Hayat and

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!

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.
Verified traveler
The hotel was fantastic but what most sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality. From the managers to the kitchen staff - they made us feel so welcome and appreciated. We loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

A beautiful and tranquil oasis in the medina. We enjoyed a relaxing Hammam and massage as well as the cookery school. The food is wonderful.

Lovely weekend stay
Having stayed in various riads in Marrakech, this one is absolutely lovely - the riad itself spread across two buildings is an oasis of calm in the city and the staff are what make it - sooo lovely and welcoming.

Excellent hotel
Was the best place I’ve stayed in Marrakesh—better than Maison Arabe. Décor was simple and beautiful with spare soothing lines. Staff were particularly friendly and solicitous to our group. Location was v convenient. Really great place!

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.
Verified traveler
Highly Recommended
Really super Riad close enough to get to the Medina in under 10 minutes. Welcoming and helpful staff and I highly recommend. Enjoyed the hammam experience in the hotel grounds, breakfast options were good in fact all the food we ate here was superb.
Verified traveler
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.
Paolo
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.
Verified traveler
Wonderful oasis of calm
Absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was fantastic (welcoming, friendly, helpful, etc) in every respect. The place itself was conveniently located and perfect for enjoyment and relaxation. Will definitely return anytime I'm in Marrakech.
Stephanie
Lovely boutique riad, great location
This is a charming riad located next to the Badi Palace, and within 15 minutes' walk to the Jemaa el Fna and the souks. The staff at Dar Les Cigognes are wonderfully hospitable and did everything to accommodate our needs. Our suite was spacious and well-decorated and the lovely argan oil toiletries were replenished every day of our 6-night stay. Breakfast on the terrace was fulsome --- the petit dejeuner complet has everything you could possibly want (fruit, selection of breads, Moroccan crepes, pancakes, cake, omelette, yoghurt, coffee, tea and orange juice) --- and the Salt Restaurant offers an excellent 5-course set menu every night that provides a Moroccan gourmet experience without requiring you to set foot outside of the riad. Perfect for those evenings when the bustle of the souks become too much. We would recommend this riad to Marrakech visitors wanting a boutique hotel experience at reasonable prices.
U
Perfect location. We really liked the place.
Excellent experience and very nice staff and specially manager she was very helpful and super friendly. However breakfast was not included I' m afraid and jacuzzi facilities was extra. Even tho we been told it's free.

read about the Expedia 2015 excellence prize etc... but was not what we though:
Staff is not well trained.. they did not answer phone as we called for 30min looking for directions since there was construction nearby.. service was overall not 5* level at all.. rooms need some face lifts.. At least the one we stayed in ( red)....however greta roof top.. and very convenient location

based on reviews, other luxury riads we stayed in and Expedia prize award from 2015, we were disappointed :
first there was construction and we got lost and we called for 20min on their landline, no pick up... Second: Some rooms need a face lift.. Third, , Staff watched us leave carrying bags and didn't offer help..
the front desk lady did not know where the toilets were! breakfast's Staff blouses were not spotless... and finally, every riad I stayed in, had breakfast included, here we had to pay about $40 extra for bfast.. we recommend including it in the listed price like the vast majority of riads...so prospective clients have full disclosure

Oasis
Not so easy to find at night but once there it was an oasis in amongst wonderful chaos outside. Wi-fi not so good in the rooms and our room had some mould on the ceiling but otherwise comfortable. Not the cheapest Riad in town but well run. Menu excellent but pricey and breakfast not so cheap but nice on the rooftop overlooking the city and the nearby stork nests

Great Easter Break at Dar les Cigognes
Had an amazing Easter stay at Dar les Cigognes. It is a 5 minute walk from the main street that leads to Jemaa el Fna. The Riad is gorgeous and very well taken care of. Service is truly impeccable. Lovely roof terrace where you can relax during breakfast or a mid-day or sunset rest after a day out exploring. One piece of advice is to make sure that your room has a window if you are not a fan of dark rooms. Some of the rooms (including the suites) only face the courtyard so they are quite dark, although still gorgeous.
PATRICIA
Marrakesh's best hotel...
Truly a great experience, it's in the medina, just a short distance from all the hustle and bustle. It's in front of the kings castle, badi castle and near other sightseeing museums, palaces and gardens. The service was incredible, we complained that we had been cold in the room and every night after that they would heat our bed so it would be nice and cozy and leave delectable cookies for a night cap. Booked the culinary class which comes with a tour of market, truly sensational, informative and unique experience and the culinary class, exquisite!!! Spectacular vacation!!!

5 Stars *****
I'd go back in a second. Pierre who manages the property made our stay. The roof top deck is fabulous. They offer a fantastic cooking class with a walk around the spice market which was extremely informative. Chic and elegant simplicity while feeling safe and secure.

Beautiful Riad with great location and easy walking distance to most attractions. The staff at Dar Les Cigognes were exceptional and delivered a high standard of service, very attentive to your needs and always with a smile. The Riad has a beautiful and tranquil roof-top terrace where you enjoy your morning breakfast. The food at the Riad is impeccable with highly trained chefs and with a daily changing menu. Overall Dar Les Cigognes is highly recommended and deserves all credit due to this magical place.

Nice hotel near medina
Really nice, friendly, helpful staff -- very accommodating starting from booking.

Fantastic staff - great location
We had initially arrived in Marakech 4 days before having to check in here. Our original Riad (Riad Bamileke) near Derb Debacci was a nightmare. We had scoured expedia for a deal and stumbled across the wonderful Dar Les Cigones. We booked early on the same day we checked in around 10am and headed over at 2pm to check in.
The staff here are so great, we had a warm welcome at the hotel - tea and pastries and were then taken to our room. The hotel supplies a book of recommended locations and restaurants, even excursions and helped whenever we needed a taxi. The room was great and most importantly quiet. No noise from the staff in the early hours and they honestly couldn't do enough for us. My girlfriend had an upset stomach on our second night and the guy on the door downstairs called one of the off duty members of staff to try and source some prunes and figs to help from the souks. 20 minutes later the guy showed up at the door, fruit in hand.
Regarding the hotel itself, it's located near the old Jewish quarter, directly opposite Palais Badii. Short walk to the souks and also has a lovely roof top terrace for a warm sunny breakfast.
If you've not been to Marakech before, it can be an exhausting experience and having the right hotel/riad to come back to and chill is very important. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone!

A wonderful riad with a friendly staff. The location could have been a little better, as it is quite a walk from the Jama el Fna square. Our suite was absolutely beautiful, silent, and impeccably clean. It was somewhat annoying that some of the staff insisted on addressing us in very broken English instead of French. We had dinner at the riad the day of our arrival as well; it was wonderful and we definitely recommend their food! Breakfast was a little odd; they brought me eight slices of brie (who can eat that much?!) but no bread to eat it with. But delicious otherwise.

An oasis
This riad is an oasis to the busy streets and buzz of lively Marrakech. With fountain courtyards and a rooftop terrace of some city views, it is indeed a place of its own.
The staff is incredibly attentive and responsive to your needs. The cooking class in the Dar les Cigognes kitchen is a must as well as an empty stomach. Although, I didn't have time to go on the market tour with the cooking class. Each room in the riad is a fantasy of its own and worth exploring. Don't forget to schedule a hamman!
Be prepared to budget western hotel prices for your stay at this riad. There is a reason why it's been given so many stars, but it is worth it.

Go back in time to a ancient house with every luxu
Magnificent old house. Individually themed rooms. Rooftop garden & bar with day beds, fountains filled with rosebuds. Fabulous service, peaceful & relaxing away from the noise of Marrakech. Staff ate incredibly friendly & helpful. Only cons are no cold drinking water in rooms & LOTS of stairs (if you have a heart condition like mr)

A perfect oasis of luxury and hospitality
Stayed at Dar Les Cigognes for two nights in early August and really wished we could have stayed more. On our arrival at the stunningly beautiful road, we were greeted by Pierre and his lovely staff who couldn't have been friendlier or more enthusiastic. Our early flight had got us to the hotel at breakfast-time but our room was ready for us which was wonderful and meant we could get on with our day. Pierre took the time over tea and homemade sweet treats (delicious) to tell us all about Marrakech and helped us design the perfect plan for a couple of days in the city based around what we wanted to do and what he knew would work best - so incredibly helpful and helped us make the most of the time we had. He's also just such a fun character to chat to! The riad and the rooms themselves are beautiful, filled with nice touches such as beautifully presented hommade potions and lotions in the bathroom and fresh fruit to snack on. Breakfast was delicious - go hungry as it's a feast that will last you the day - and served on the flowery and peaceful roof terrace. Can't recommend it enough and will be back no doubt! Than you Pierre! Hywel and Lani.

Cool sophisticated oasis in the heart of Marrakech
We stayed 8 nights in Dar Les Cigognes for a relaxed honeymoon. Everything about the place was fantastic from the mint tea and biscuits and rose petals on the bed on arrival to the little box of biscuits as a parting gift. All the staff were warm and welcoming which made our trip very special. They went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We used their sister Riad's pool quite frequently when we were there and were equally well received. It is an excellent spot to explore the wonders of Marrakech.

Dar Les Cigognes was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The place is gorgeous and the staff was extremely friendly and dedicated to making our stay as great as possible. This is the kind of place where there is attention to detail to any and all aspects of your stay - from the delicious food and personalized service to suggesting sights and great places to eat and shop. The hotel provides a list of recommended addresses that we used to guide our visit and all their recommendations were spot on. I really cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. It is truly one of the best hotel experiences my family and I have ever had. I can't wait to go back!
