the location was the only slight negative, it is a bit further from the center of the medina than we are used to. and Marrakech Medina is over-runed by motorcycles, so the walk is not as easy especially for two young kids.

This was our favorite riad we have stayed in, we booked the two-bedroom suite, and it was perfect for our family of four, the room was beautiful and clean, the beds were comfy and it was very quiet too. away from the noise of the medina. We all loved the breakfast at the riad, ate on the roof top everyday, the highlight is def all the homemade jam!

Access is not easy: complex alleys that can be scary initially. Everything improves with the Riad's guidance, and becomes easier over time.

Very well decorated and elegant riad. Of particular note is the staff and management team: extremely friendly and efficient, always available to provide guidance. A little oasis in the medina where we felt so welcome. A very pleasant upper patio that allows you to dine and relax by the small pool. Breakfast is very good, varied with local delicacies and great fruit.

We had such a lovely stay in every possible aspect. The manager Said went out of his way to make it nice for us, checking in regularly if we needed anything and provided us with lots of information and mint tea. He even got us breakfast before the regular breakfast times as we had an early return flight, and printed out our boarding passes for us to save us from having to pay Ryanair's fee for doing that at the airport The riad is beautifully decorated and cleaned to a high standard. It's in a great location close to everything in Medina, but not along a busy street so it was quiet and peaceful inside This was one of my favorite holidays ever and staying in this riad really made it for us

The staff was a 15/10, just amazing, careful and dedicated to generate the best posible experience. The Riad manager, guided us trough the most important city tips, offered an amazing welcome tea and almond cookies and always made us feel at home while completely respecting our space. 100% recomendable.

It is still an amazing place, a paradise! Said is an wonderful host with his lovely, caring and helpful being, and the rest of the staff is just wonderful. The dinner is a culinary experience. No words can truly describe this place!

What is it not to like about this place? A litte bit of paradise.

An exceptional property with an exceptional host in Said. From the moment we arrived the service was attentive. Dinner provided on the night of our arrival was a culinary delight. Breakfast each morning on the rooftop (with the company of curios birds) was likewise a treat. All of the staff were great, but Said stood out with the time he gave us to highlight places of interest that would pique both our cultural interests and our appetites Look forward to returning there!

The Dar Akal is a beautiful traditional Riad with a mixture of traditional and modern refurbishments. The service was impeccable, Said the manager was so kind and helpful with everything from luggage and refreshments to great restaurant recommendations. The rooftop terrace is a lovely oasis where we had breakfast everyday and relaxed on some evenings to enjoy the sunset. Will definitely stay again.

Not enough sunbathing space?

This was our first time in Marocco and the first person we met was Sa'id :) He gave us a calm/chill energy feeling. Such a beautiful soul! Shukran Sa'id! Staff was next level as well. Everything you might need - will be done :) Riad itself was beautiful as well! The bed and pillows were really good. Highly recommend!

Honestly cannot fault it in any way

Beautiful Riad in a great location in the centre of Marrakech. Everything was easy to walk to from here. The staff at Dar Akal were beautiful, so helpful and kind. I could not recommend this place more!

One of the best places we've ever stayed! Said and the team were so kind - cooking us incredible food (both breakfast and dinner were delicious), giving advice on where to go and how to get around, and keeping our room fresh each day. When I was unwell nothing was too much trouble, I felt so looked-after. The location is wonderful too, a little away from the most touristy parts of the medina but still close to the centre of the action. We had several lovely sunsets from the rooftop, where Said brought us wine and nibbles. Cannot recommend Dar Akal enough!

We loved everything about our stay. The riad was beautiful, the rooms were lovely, the food was amazing, the hammam was so relaxing and Said was such a fantastic host. We couldn’t have asked for more, this is the best place you could possibly stay if you were visiting Marrakesh. I would recommend this riad to absolutely everyone I know!

This is the second time I am staying in this Riad and it was a perfect stay again. The place is lovely, the staff is great, always doing everything to help you the most! The breakfast is very nice, and I definitely recommend having dinner too there as it is always very good! Communication was also super easy upfront.

Dar Akal is a wonderful place to stay while in Marrakech. The stuff is beyond friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and you should definitely try it. I truly recommend it 🙂

Liked everything!

Perfect place for a Marrakesh city break. Lovely gem of a small hotel with caring efficient staff and within the Medina so in walking distance to all the city sights. Said the Manager was great, picking us up from the taxi and giving great recommendations for restaurants and places to see. We'd recommend and would stay again. Don't miss the hammam and massage package, and do take time to book a meal here, it's outstanding.

Dar Akal is a beautiful riad. Greatly renovated and very tastefully decorated with a wonderful roof terrace where you can enjoy breakfast. The dinner we booked was also excellent, very tasty. Said is a great manager and was very helpful with valuable tipps and organizing excursions.

Loved everything… the spaces, decoration, how cleaned everything was, the manager and staff

Stayed in October 2023

The location within the Medina was the draw but also the frustration . In my short stay, it was difficult to navigate direction through the maze-like alleys.

The best thing about this charming authentic Marrakesh stay was the roof top terrace and staff who went out of their way to make me feel welcome.

Stayed in October 2023

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Our 2 bed suite was so comfortable and clean. Said and the team were helpful and ensured our stay was perfect. Said arranged our transfers, gave advice and helped book a local guide. Our breakfasts were different each day. One night I had dinner in the Riad and it was delicious and such a wonderful experience. I recommend Dar Akal for anyone wanting the real old town experience.

Everything was excellent. The room, food, people, atmosphere, location, Said is very helpful, nice and protective person. Always has time to advice where to go, what to see.
