The property was beautiful, very clean and well-maintained. It was centrally located and a short walk from many of the attractions we wanted to see. The staff were incredible, Wafa prepared delicious home-cooked Moroccan food and Mostapha helped us with transportation, organizing camel rides, and answering questions. The 3 bedrooms each had a private bath and were decorated beautifully. We really enjoyed the rooftop jacuzzi at night. The house was very safe for a group of women travelling alone. I highly recommend this property for your stay in Marrakech and would definitely return here.

Excellent staff

Mostapha and Wafa were outstanding and took freat care of us. The Dar had plenty of room and we made use of the rooftop patio and hottub. The location was good as it was within the medina but we never did figure out how fo easily find our residence because the streets are narrow and like a maze. Wle are so glad we got to experience Marrakech and have a comfortable house to stay in.

Authentic and colourful

The house was tidy and spacious, authentic in decoration and comfortable. The beds on the third floor left a little to be desired and the bathrooms could have been better lit for make up, and there were no doors on them which was difficult to manage between siblings but no huge deal. Overall the accommodation was basic but very pleasant. The place is completely made however by the amazing staff! Wafa is the sweetest most accommodating person and a great cook and Mostapha is incredibly helpful! Nothing was too much trouble! They made our trip to Marrakesh the amazing experience that it was! If we were to go back we would 100% return to dar al mandar for those two!

A wonderful oasis in the Medina

From the moment we were greeted by Mustafa, who met our taxi a few blocks from the road to escort us home, we knew we made the right choice! We are already missing our 12 days immersed into Moroccan culture.Wafaa is a magnificent chef and she shared a lot of insights into life there as well as cooking secrets that you’d only get in a cuisine class- the home boasts comfortable bedrooms, and even has a sunny rooftop with a relaxing portable spa!We felt safe, cared for and pampered! One of our best stays in decades!

Wonderful, unique food arrangement

We picked Dar al Mandar, both because of the nice interior, but also the unique experience of having a cook. Of our 7 nights there, our gracious cook Wafa cooked dinner 6 nights, based on a discussion the day before of what to prepare. We usually went with the default 7 PM time. We didn't have to worry about transit time to/from a restaurant, uncertain quality or price, or slow service. Each night we'd have mint tea, fresh bread, several appetizer/entrees, a great Moroccan main, and a dessert. What's more, we could watch and learn how to make them -- built-in cooking classes! Of course she'd make breakfast each day but with less variation. We very much enjoyed this arrangement (note there is a daily charge for the food). Since we had another 8 days in Morocco after Marrakech, we didn't worry what we might be missing at restaurants. Mustapha was immensely helpful in getting oriented, learning about culture and language, and providing any guidance we needed. The Dar itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable. While the Dar is on the north of the Medina, it's close enough to walk to the center and to a taxi when you need to go all the way to the other side or outside of the medina. The many cats in the streets were always amusing, too.

A merry month in Marrakech!

The best part of Dar Al Mandar are the people who take care of you when you stay there: Mostapha, the host, and Wafa, the cook. They make your stay easy, tasty, enjoyable and enlightened. We felt so lucky to have landed in a lovely home with Moroccans who helped us learn our way around the city, the culture, its traditions and its food. We had enough room to host friends and family who joined us, and the house was in a quiet neighborhood, protected from the noise of the medina. (Other reviewers have commented on its distance from the souks and the center square, but we loved that distance, and the daily exercise to get where we wanted to go.) Though we spent time traveling around the country, we loved the city — its bustle, its tastes, its quirks and its personality. Marrakech is forever in our hearts, thanks to our fine stay.

Not just a riad, but the full experience!

I don’t think we could have found a better place to stay during our visit, than this Riad. The riad, itself is spacious with 3 separate bedrooms, each with their own shower/bath, and beautiful with hand-crafted artistry throughout. Each room provides its own air conditioning unit which was very much appreciated in the hottest of the summer months. The patio upstairs (be ready for lots of stairs) is the perfect place to relax whether in a lounge chair or in the jacuzzi. The location is perfectly centered within the walls of the Old Medina, making it within walking distance of the souls and all the biggest tourist spots. The best part, that made our stay so memorable, was Mostapha and Wafa. Mostapha, the host, is an endless wealth of information and is always more than willing to help answer questions, provide suggestions, or even share about his culture and country. Wafa, the chef and housekeeper, is an absolute GEM. Every single meal she prepared for us was divine and an absolute feast to remember. I don’t think there was a better way for us to have gotten a true taste of traditional Moroccan food. Five stars, all around!

Magnificent Experience

What a fantastic experience. Mostapha greeted us on arrival and visited us every day to discuss excursions, places of interest, idea's for where to go in the city, organised reliable taxi's and it was an absolute pleasure to se him. He even tried to teach us some local dialect.... Wafa cooked the most amazing food for us daily (breakfast and dinner), and we all became very close by the time we had to return home. Her food was spectacular every day. I cannot recommend the property, people, support and service highly enough. What wonderful people and a beautiful Riad. We will never forget it.

Relaxing Vacation

This beautiful riad is exactly as lovely as it appears in the pictures. It is tastefully decorated, spacious, clean, and welcoming. The kitchen is on the first level, and has everything you need to make yourself at home and make all your meals - though really, you should do yourself a favor and allow Khadijah to cook for you! We asked her to make all of our meals, and they were nothing short of exceptional. One small note here - all of our dinners were served later than we had requested, but in fairness to the host, we did request them much earlier than meals are typically prepared at the riad. Regardless of the timing, we were always delighted to Khadijah presenting the food. We took breakfast and dinner every day, and I did not for a moment regret that decision. The cooking was among the best we have ever had. Back to the riad - two of the bedrooms are on the second floor, which gets an amazing amount of natural light. With all the windows open, there is no need for electric lights until the sun goes down. The owner has also placed very nice shutters and glass in the windows, so that light is completely blocked out at night and that sound is muffled pretty well. If you are a light sleeper, I would still recommend bringing earplugs, but everyone else will sleep soundly with no extra hearing protection. Each bedroom has a bathroom attached, with an abundant supply of hot water. The whole place was sparkling clean and just beautiful. The bedroom on the top floor has two twin beds, and also an attached bathroom. It is across from the rooftop, which is well-equipped with a table and... a hot tub!!!! We had a wonderful time wandering through the city during the day, coming back to shower and relax in the hot tub, followed by a delicious meal prepared downstairs. The temperature in the riad was very comfortable; we used the heater once or twice in the downstairs dining area and it did a wonderful job of heating the area, but aside from that, we were happy to keep the heaters off. There are heaters/AC units in every bedroom, and I think that the house would be very comfortable year-round. The house is not in an especially touristy area, which we greatly appreciated as it gave us a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city at the end of the day. It was also quieter than an area closer to the Jmaa-Al-Fnaa would have been, but was walking distance to the souks. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

Excellent Hospitality

We stayed for 3 nights at Dar al Mandar last month and had a very nice experience. Zakia was very friendly and cooked excellent food. Mostapha helped us with other logistics. The bedrooms and bathrooms were neat and clean. This place is right in the medina and very close to Majorelle garden. Make sure to have google maps handy to navigating through the medina streets. The only negative we had was some kids made noise during the night time in the area that kept us up until a little late. But overall the stay was pretty enjoyable.

Perfect place for our small group!

We had a small group of 4 adults on our vacation to Marrakech and this riad was perfect. Not only the size and location, but Mostapha and Zakia are the what makes this place so special. Mostapha was more than helpful by taking care of the little to things for our stay. For example, we went to a hammam and he booked for us, and went and made our payment up front so we did not have to take an extra trip to that location. He suggested sights and stops to see while we were exploring and tips on how to bargain and where to buy/price things (like rugs). Mostapha goes above and beyond what we expected, and we were so appreciative. Zakia is the other leg of the dream team. She prepares breakfast and dinner, and she did not disappoint. I cannot say enough about the food. It was better than anything we ventured out for, and it was more affordable. We cannot say enough about our stay. The home was perfect size and the rooftop terrace was a perfect place to start and end our days. The area is surprisingly quiet at night as well. The owner, Phillippe, was very communicative beforehand which was helpful. He gave us tips about arriving in Marrakech, specifics for customs, and money exchange/ATM information. He was prompt when I had questions, and that always helps me when I am traveling to a new place. Thank you for our wonderful vacation! We loved all the thought and details offered by the riad. We would recommend this place to everyone.

A Piece of Paradise

A beautiful apartment in the heart of Medina. Every detail was looked after by Philippe or Mustapha. We really felt at home here. This place is perfect if you really want the feel of living in Marrakech. A short walk will take you to the Souks where you can shop and barter for all kinds of goods. It is off the beaten path, but that is part of the charm of this beautiful apartment in which every detail has meticulously been selected. With all the hand made designs, it is simply a stunning place to spend a few days or longer. Mustapha was there to greet us at the airport and bring us to the apartment. He was available whenever we needed assistance, gave great advice on the local area and was very interesting just to talk to. One of the nicest people I have ever met. And Zakia is so sweet and such a good cook. She even made our daughter a birthday cake. Kitchen is available to make your own food, but with Zakia to make local cuisine why would you. The bedrooms are nice size and have their own bathrooms. All rooms have plenty of outlets so you can recharge all your items as needed. Wi-Fi worked well. Apartment looked just liked the pictures. Kitchen, dining and relaxing areas on the ground floor, bedrooms on 2nd and 3rd floors. Also nice terrace with Hot Tub. Used it one night and just relaxed and starred at the stars. A perfect place for those looking for adventure, a place to get away and enjoy a different culture.

Very comfortable house

Booking was very easy. Philippe communicated very well and there were no problems with payment, pick up and arrival. The house is very central in the medina but very quiet when inside. The living space downstairs is cool and relaxing and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The roof terrace is a lovely space to sit in the late afternoon / evening. Zakia and Mostafa are lovely people and made us very welcome. Zakia cooks beautifully.
