Dar El Kebira

My experience at Dar El Kebira was absolutely flawless. The staff provided outstanding service, always attentive and friendly. The warm welcome made me feel right at home. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and spotlessly clean, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Every aspect of my visit exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking excellence!

Absolutely horrified by this Riad. They gave us a room that shouldn’t even be used by people—it’s more suited for rats. The food was awful, and the room was filthy. The quality is far below acceptable standards, and here’s why: 1. The shower leaks water all over the bathroom floor. I had to use every bath towel to soak it up. Clearly, this has been an ongoing problem since some tiles are even missing next to the shower. 2. There are actual holes in the walls, making the room feel like it’s falling apart. 3. The hardware on the walls is cheap plastic and looks low quality, adding to the room’s tackiness. 4. The wooden door has aluminum lining at the bottom, possibly hiding rotted wood beneath it. 5. The fringes on the rug are filthy and completely unkempt, making the whole room feel dirty. 6. The armoire handle is broken, further adding to the rundown, neglected feel of the place. Overall, this room feels like a two-star disaster at best, and it’s a total disappointment compared to what we expected. Avoid this Riad if you’re looking for any kind of quality or cleanliness.

Our stay at Dar El Kebira was an absolute delight! It was a blend of traditional Moroccan elegance and modern comfort. The staff was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the personalized service throughout the stay. The dining at Dar El Kebira Riad's restaurant was simply outstanding. The food was authentic and flavorful. We cannot wait to return! I highly recommend it for anyone seeking an authentic Moroccan experience.

The beautiful building is decorated in traditional Moroccan style. The decor in the room was nice The rooms were dark and long with bed on one end. Some additional lights would have been good. We felt a bit cold in the room and asked for a heater. Staff are really nice. The red shower curtain around the bath was not enough to stop water spilling all the floor, while showering. The sink was beautiful but impractical. As our room was facing the road, there was noise coming from outside almost all night long. Dinner was ok. Breakfast was below average. No choice for vegetarians. The website looks much better than the hotel. Certainly won’t recommend this.

I will say if we didn’t have trouble with the location and getting past the shops and everyone in the street, then I would have given it a 4 star. If you have money to waste, then it is a beautiful hotel. The decor is very authentic and breathtaking. Unfortunately for this hotel, we stayed in riad Amaris which is only a 5 minute walk away and way better priced. We payed just over £130 for a night here and at the armaris it was like £55 cheaper. Don’t get me wrong the price for the armaris is higher sometime but we got it at a good time. If they are both showing the same price for the time you want to stay, then this hotel is definitely way more traditionally beautiful but we stayed in the suite so the other rooms I can’t speak on. The armaris was a wayyyy better location. It’s not far from the entrance of the market and it’s on a side road where there’s only really hotels. This hotel is more in the market and is located on a residential road! So it’s louder at night and it’s busy and hard to walk through. There was a funeral when we went so we couldn’t even get passed and you have to get through shops, it’s a nightmare sometimes. It’s very uncomfortable as a tourist. I’ll add photos of the streets of both hotels, you’ll know what one is for here because the walls are all chipped and not as nice. To pay that much more for a better decor isn’t worth it for me. We only sleep in the room, so price and location are way more important. The breakfast was the same, in fact I preferred the cheaper hotels breakfast. We get Turkish tea at night and here no biscuits where given with the tea. It may not be a big thing but we stayed in 3 city’s in Morocco and all the cheaper hotels gave biscuits. Weirdly there was also no bin in the room. Just an open bowel in the bathroom which is awkward when disposing of toiletries as a women. One last little thing is the sinks tap is so far back that anytime you wash your hands or face the water goes all over the side and drips all over the floor. I don’t mean it just splatters everywhere, it almost just pours into the side because it’s so badly placed. The workers were lovely, just like everywhere we stayed. I will say it’s nearly impossible to find a hotel that you can get a taxi straight to, especially if you’re staying in the old town. Google maps work fine and just don’t except help and you’ll be fine.

We enjoyed our stay in this riad very much, because of the beautiful building and the polite staff. We followed the road directions received from the hotel and we were picked up. Public parking was easy and safe. Would definitely stay there again.
