This Riad was our favorite of the many we stayed at in our trip through Morocco. It is located a few steps from the gate into the Medina and minutes from the Jamma el-Fnaa. The Dar Les Cigognes is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed with a beautiful view at every turn and with an exquisite balcony to enjoy a meal or to see all Marrakech. However. the height of our experience starts with the most wonderful woman we met on our whole trip--Hayat. Earlier in our trip, I had taken a fall which was causing a lot of pain. Hayat checked on me all the time for the 3 days we stayed there—offering help, food, tea, assistance of all kinds. Her kindness was not unique to us because she greeted everyone like they were family. She provided big hugs and unbelievable hospitality. We ate breakfast and dinner there and both were extremely enjoyable. Our experience there was extraordinary—one of those places we will never forget.

Breakfast delicious. Freshly prepared Moroccan Breads,pastries,fruit,yoghurt,honey. Good coffee. Taken on the beautiful top garden surrounded by glorious display for colourful plants

We were happy with everything

We felt like royalty staying here from the exceptional care the staff took of us to the wonderful meals to the luxurious room. Hajiba made sure everything went flawlessly from the taxis, to reservations and our walking tour of the medina, and she truly made Dar les Cigognes feel like a home away from home. We are already looking forward to going back and staying here again!

This vintage riad opposite the royal palace gets better the higher you go. Bursting with flowers, the rooftop terrace must be one of the prettiest in all of Marrakech and was a magical setting for our dinner beneath the stars. From here, you can also glimpse the storks nesting on the palace ramparts. Hayat and her team offer exceptional service and go the extra mile for their guests. A place to return to!

It’s time the owners brightened up the ground floor lobby with better lighting and decor.

Staying at Dar les Cigognes felt like walking into a world lost in time, antique, calm, charming, and extremely welcoming.

The staff were exceptional

Nothing

The personnel is just amazing.

Wonderful service, incredibly friendly staff and owners, nothing was too much trouble and happy to help arrange tours, restaurant bookings and anything else that was needed.

We were welcomed in the warmest way! Everyone in the staff was the kindest nicest people and so helpful. Definitely made us feel at home. The place is exquisite, the rooms were gorgeous and the turn over service is excellent. All the little touches are so thoughtful. If I ever go back to Marrakesh I will definitely stay there and will reccomend it to all my friends that plan to visit. 10/10 reccomend!
