Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise Dar Kandi as a beautiful and clean riad, conveniently located within a 15-minute walk to many sites. Many appreciate the spacious and well-designed rooms and the rooftop area with its shallow pool and sunbeds. The daily breakfast receives high marks for its variety and quality, and dining experiences, especially the milk pastilla, are often highlighted; however, some guests have noted that shower facilities can lack privacy due to their open design. many find Dar Kandi to be an exceptional value.
The location was really convenient. It was close to many shops and restaurants. The staff was helpful (especially when arranging taxis). The breakfast was good with a nice variety of options.
Our room faced an interior courtyard, so it lacked natural light. The noise from the courtyard sometimes traveled into the room. The rooftop terrace was smaller than expected and offered limited seating.
