They are simply the best hosts you can find in Marrakesh!! Anything you want, Omar & Géraldine will help you get it. Their kindness and hospitality have no equivalent. Food is amazing (gorgeous breakfast), rooms very comfortable and well decorated and they are well connect with local taxi drivers to get you wherever you want to go. It was a... more

If you read the reviews you will almost certainly be sceptical -- can anywhere really be that good? But the answer is yes.... The guidebooks to Marrakech list all sorts of oases to escape from the hum of the city -- the Majorelle Gardens were second on our list, and not to be missed: but Dar el Kanoun was easily... more

After reading all the reviews here we decided that Dar El Kanoun sounded as if it ticked all the boxes. Omar and Geraldine are fabulous absolutely nothing is too much trouble. It is about 5 minutes by taxi into the new town and a few more to the Medina, but the difference is amazing. We stayed in the Zara suite... more

I have known Omar for 10 years now. We met in Canada when we were both students. It was natural for me to stay at Dar El Kanoun upon visiting Marrakech. It is my 3rd time staying there and there is no other place I would rather stay than at Dar El Kanoun. I am a travel writer and photo... more

We stayed from Christmas Eve ’07 for 5 days ( 2 of us) – largely based on the positive reviews here and the fact we could not get into any decent medina- based Riads – and we were not disappointed. The Yasmine Suite was very large with a lovely banquette “snoozing” zone on the private balcony. Service and hospitality from... more

We had endured a busy and at times difficult year so were looking to get a little winter sunshine and relax. Dianne had always wanted to go to Marrakech so as it was our anniversary we took this opportunity......I read many reviews on Trip advisor but there was consistently high praise of Dar El Kanoun and its fine hosts Omar... more

Fantastic experience, our first visit to Morocco and Marrakech made wonderful by Omar and his team. Exactly as described on their website and by other reviewers. The Riad is located a few miles from the Medina and requires a taxi to get anywhere. However, these were arranged by Omar and we had no problem with the drivers or the price:... more

As we booked our stay at the hotel almost exclusively because of the reviews on Tripadvisor (as did all the other guests during our stay) a quick thank you to previous reviewers!! So what's so good about this place?? Firstly the people - Omar, Geraldine and the team are fantastic. They want you to have a great holiday and do... more

Having read reports that central Marrakech can be a bit harrowing for the new visitor and the excellent reviews here of the Dar El Kanoun, we (two couples and long time friends) decided to make it our first stop on the first day of our holiday in Morocco. I think that was the best decision we made during our two... more
