Dar al Mandar is a beautifully decorated little house where you feel good. The peculiarity of this house lies in the fact that the owners have chosen to highlight the crafts and the know-how of local artisans.

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.

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!

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!

Great place for a family
We had a wonderful experience staying in Marrakech. This guesthouse was a great place for our family to spend our downtime after exploring the Medina. Wafa is a wonderful person and prepares delicious meals, and Mousyapha is a gracious host who is willing to do what it takes to make your experience as memorable as possible.

Wonderful Stay with great help from Mostapha and Zakia
Three generations of my family (my grandmother, parents, and sister) visited Marrakech for a week. The riad was beautifully decorated. Mostapha and Zakia made our stay wonderful. The meals were absolutely delicious and Mostapha was always there to help arrange tours and taxis for us. We would love to visit again some day.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful Holiday
Thank you so much to Zakia and Mostapha we really had a nice time staying at the riad. Zakia, you are such a lovely person, we realy enjoyed your delicious and tasty food and thank for making special suppers and larger portions for us. Mostapha, thank you so much for taking very good care of us, helping us with our shopping and all your advice on going out. Thanks for all your time and making sure we had a lovely first visit to Marrakech. We really had a lovely time. The riad is a lovely place to stay, everything we needed was in place. We surely will stay again if we visit Marrakech. Thank you and God bless you all. Marhaba Lot of Love. Busola, Sinmi,Wale, and Yemi. 22/06/2018

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!

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.

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.

Les chambres sont spacieuses et la terrasse est très agréable. Situé dans un quartier populaire très vivant, la maison reste proche à pied des souks et des principaux sites de la Médina.
