Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Dar Akal was incredibly peaceful and lovely. The location in the heart of the Medina made it easy to explore the vibrant souks, yet the Riad felt like a serene retreat. While I would have loved a bit more variety in snacks available during my stay, it didn't diminish the overall experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
My stay at Dar Akal was a good experience. The riad's artistic beauty and tranquility provided a peaceful retreat from the vibrant chaos of the Medina. I found the staff, especially Said, to be incredibly attentive and warm. However, navigating through the alleys to reach the riad can be a bit daunting initially, although it became easier with Said's guidance.
My stay at Dar Akal was simply wonderful! The team, especially Said, provided excellent service that made my experience lovely. The riad is beautifully decorated and very clean, but I was slightly uncomfortable navigating the narrow alleyways late at night. Overall, a lovely oasis in the Medina! 🌟
My stay at Dar Akal was truly magical. The warmth and graciousness of Said, our host, made a significant impact on my experience. The riad is beautifully decorated and offers a lovely ambiance, although I found the rooms a bit small and the acoustics not ideal for peace and quiet. Overall, it was a fantastic introduction to Marrakech, highlighted by fantastic breakfasts and a great location within the medina.
My stay at Dar Akal was absolutely good. The riad's decor was tastefully done, and it felt like a peaceful oasis amid the bustling Medina. The staff, especially Said, were incredibly warm and accommodating, making me feel at home. While breakfast was good, I would have appreciated a few more savory options. However, the delicious dinner made up for it, showcasing authentic Moroccan cuisine.
