Dar Mo'Da

Everything was PERFECT. The staff was so kind and helpful, and our suite was absolutely beautiful. The roof top terrace was a pure bliss, not to mention the stunning architecture of the gorgeous old building. On our last night the extraordinary Hafida (our hostess) had arranged an in-house hammam experience, a massage and a dinner prepared for us by the lovely ladies working in the kitchen. It was such a great night and the perfect way to end our stay. Dar Mo’da feels more like a tranquil and warm oasis than an actual hotel. I left feeling more relaxed and more at peace than I have in a really time, and I simply cannot thank the beautiful people at Dar Mo’Da enough.

Literally nothing. I cannot mention a single thing that could have been better during our stay.

Staff and management were really kind and helpful. The location in the restored part of the Medina opposite is the “Secret garden” is wonderful, many tempting small shops and good restaurants. The Riyad is very private as it only has 5 suits and therefore feels less luke a hotel. Everything is absolutely spotless and beautifully designed. A very good choice to stay!!

The staff was exceptional. Special thanks to Hafida for giving us such good service. Thanks also that we could stay longer in a room as we had a late departure!

No negatives at all!

Beautiful cosy but beautifully designed Riad. Has a lovely terrace with which to watch sunset. It is centrally located in the medina but is a tranquil oasis from the hubbub and quiet at night. Has good WiFi and the food is good. In fact we ate there twice. Meals made by their excellent cook. Just as good if not better than than the restaurants nearby. The best thing about this place is the excellent staff. Muni greeted us and spent an hour with us telling us exactly where to go and how to survive in Marrakech. He was so reassuring. To be honest, Marrakech was a lot easier and less hassle than we thought. The most bother in the Médina is from the scooters that buzz past you. The traders are actually fine and are not at all aggressive. If you want to buy something Muni gives you a lesson on haggling. We bought a carpet for a really good price. The staff are more than helpful, caring and can’t do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned every day and turned down at night. Hafida is lovely and makes sure you are looked after. This sort of free concierge service would cost a fortune in a big hotel. Hafida books tours, restaurants etc.. All good. We just gave her a list of what we wanted to do and she organised our week for us. I recommend the cooking class. I would say this is probably one of the best hotel experiences I have had mainly because of the care from all the staff, from cleaner, to cook, to concierge and managers. I would keep this place a secret but that wouldn’t be fair

Nothing

Dar Mo'Da's location is absolutely perfect for exploring the Medina and also having access to some of Marrakech's best restaurants. It takes literally 5 seconds to walk from your front door to the wonderfully beautiful Le Jardin Secret opposite which seems to set the tone for how well located it is. The staff couldn't have been any more perfect, impressive amounts of care and attention were lavished on us from them moment we arrived, endless mint tea, homemade biscuits, iced water for every outing and always happy to share their vast knowledge of a city they truly love. We were even guided to harder to find destinations, taken to meet the driver when going out of the city and shown to the best tables in the restaurants we'd booked.The service and attention to detail goes above any beyond - beds made, clothes tided and neatly arranged, fresh water always there and any request carried out with care and efficiency. The riad is a truly beautiful space, perfectly designed to offer subtle, timeless elegance and an ability to induce relaxation quickly. A large central pool surrounded by comfortable furniture, calming rooms and the resident parrot, Charlie all make for a very welcoming return home after exploring the delights of Marrakech. From the wonderfully tasty breakfasts with fresh orange, pancakes, breads, fruit, yoghurt and coffee served on the roof terrace each morning, to a bottle of iced wine on one of the highest roof top lookouts in Marrakech, Dar Mo'Da was much, much more than we were expecting, an exceptional home whilst in this always surprising city.

Having to leave, absolutely nothing else you could possibly find to dislike.
