Overall Ratings & Reviews Dar Kantzaro

Friendly staff. Very spacious rooms. Excellent service. A little far from the main city but a great place to relax and spend more than a few days.

We loved the whole experience, so we have arranged to go back twice next year. Only improvements from our perspective would be better quality food for vegans and vegetarians , plus some english language channels on the tv. The gardens and the pool are fabulous. All staff warm and friendly.

Lovely facility and grounds. A bit out of Marrakech. Service was a bit slow and failed to inform us we needed to order dinner in advance,

Excellent facilities. Perfect for group of boys or girls or even families.

loved everything about it. I arrived with my daughter and her husband. We took the two rooms upstairs so we had the terrace to our selves. The Villa is in the middle of an olive garden. it was beautiful. The staff was great. It felt secure. We were there for 4 nights. I especially loved the dog quich. very well behaved and beautiful. I would stay there again. Patricia from the US

It states that there is a buffet breakfast. It is served to you but very Carbohydrate heavy , no eggs or fruit or meats. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, no fridge, no slippers. Oh and you keep bashing your head or shoulders in the wooden arches on the doorframe (they look pretty but not practical0. The tissues are so cheap. We booked for three people but only had toiletries or one! I would recommend the haamam and massage. Its lovely.

This was our 4th hotel that we had booked for our 3 week holiday in Morocco. The hotel was tucked away from the main road, set in a peaceful location. We were the only guests for a proportion of our stay which meant we were free to use the various spaces created for guests. The manager Naima, what an amazing lady. From the very first moment she ensured the wife and I felt at ease. We chose to have an afternoon and evening meal on two separate days. These were cooked splendidly at time of our choice. Nothing was too much for Naima. As the hotel is a distance away from the main square we enquired about using local transport as the private taxi ride to the hotel cost us 200 dirhams one way. After flagging the number 26 or 261 bus we travelled to the square for a return journey costing just 12 dirhams. The bus was safe and clean to travel in. Again, Naima flagged the bus and provided written Arabic instructions for the bus driver to ensure we reached our destination. At this stage of our holiday we just wanted to relax and unwind and that is exactly what this hotel provided. At times a little boring and secluded but I guess that is really what we wanted after a hectic fortnight of excursions. Naima also arranged for a late checkout as we had an evening flight and a transfer to the airport. Highly recommend this hotel. Thankyou Naima.

What a wonderful place ! A quiet oasis has a well kept garden. Rooms are spacious. Food is fresh daily with a varied menu. Staff make you feel relaxed and nothing is too much trouble for all who stay. We cannot wait to return!! Bridgette Dorset

Fantastic place to visit. The staff did a fantastic job looking after us. Naima and Hassan couldn't do enough for us. Will be sure to visit again in the near future.

We spent a long weekend at the Dar Kantzaro. The hotel is situated about 15-20 minutes by taxi from Marrakech and is perfect for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech itself. The building is beautiful inside, decorated with ornate Moroccan decoration and has a very friendly and relaxed feel. The pool are is set in the garden, we felt the pool tiles would benefit from a good scrub but the water was clean (and quite cold!) The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating, with nice Moroccan themed lunches, dinners and breakfasts available. The hotel are happy to organise taxi journeys, excursions etc on your behalf. It would make a perfect venue for a large family or group of friends to stay, as you'd have the place to yourself if you took all 6 rooms. If you need to make trips locally by taxi it will work out to be very expensive as they all come from Marrakech and will charge you for doing so.

Fantastic value luxury guest house. It's quite a drive from Marrakech centre, but perfect for relaxing away from the bustle of the city. Naima and the team couldn't have been more helpful, including arranging all our transport and a day trip into the mountains.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff are very friendly and attentive, especially the hostess, Naima. The rooms are beautiful and the setting is lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Spend one night here, with wife and child before in April. The building is beautiful. It is a good bit out from Marakesh, however they offer a taxi service into and out of town at a reasonable rate. We ate all meals here and the food was decent.

We only stayed for one night but this place was a little paradise. Service was excellent we felt we were treated like royalty . I would definitely recommend Dar Kantzaro.

Great hotel: with good rooms, very helpful staff, OK facilities. Is small so feels more like a houseparty than a hotel. Location is about 12KM from the city, so you either need a car or be willing to take long-ish taxi in. Great place as a base for touring the region.

Well the property is gorgeous and peaceful during the day ( they had a dog on the premises that woke me up nightly incessantly barking ) but way to far from town. 14 Euro into town each way and 50 from the airport. It would be a nice stay though for honeymoon's.

This hotel is almost excellent...but misses on every level. Arriving on a Friday night for a long weekend, we decided that we would take the offer of a meal, which was probably the worst meal we have had in any hotel. The full time housekeeper turned up the next day and was extremely helpful; an asset to the hotel. The assistant however blew hot and cold, sometimes very pleasant, sometimes almost rude. The rooms and the villa itself with a few adjustments could be beautiful and the setting is almost lovely. For example, the pool was very nice for the six rooms and associated guests but the umbrellas were old, broken and looked like they had come out of the shed. Proper white calico umbrellas would have made it an excellent feature; as it was, it just looked tatty. Lastly, our room was nearest the kitchen and there were powerful smells of boiling lamb almost all the time, which we had to try and ventilate constantly and burn a scented candle to try and clear. Oh and the WIFI internet coverage means you have to sit within about 6 feet of the dongle (no router that I could see) to get a connection. In summary, for a bargain stay, as long as you eat out and aren't expecting the Ritz, its a great place to visit - but it could be very easily so much better. Sort the food out, the internet, the smells and the umbrellas and you could have a 5 star place here.

This guest house was lovely, the staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful! The manager Naima was particularly helpful as I went with my mum who is elderly. The only downside is that it is quite far from the city centre of Marrakech and there is no fridge in any of the rooms. As it is quite a distant from any local shops, you are reliant upon the food and drink that the guest house serves (which can be a bit pricey). But apart from that, it was a genuinely lovely hotel with amazing staff. Would definitely recommend if you want a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

completely lived up to other reviews - a beautiful house with gorgeous rooms in lovely garden with attentive kindly staff and great food - what more could you want ! I think better suited to couples than families (although the staff were very nice to my noisy 8 and 6 year olds) and also could have done with a few more blankets/heaters to help combat the december cold.

Those driving: PLEASE BEWARE OF DRIVING DIRECTIONS!-- please be sure to get GPS latitude/longitude before you leave home. The map on the website is terrible and you will not find the location in the dark with this map. Its a bit secluded and off the main road a bit (which is great, but it makes it hard to find). The hotel could use a bit of updating & a few repairs, but the amazing grounds, relaxing atmosphere (in the middle of a crazy city), fantastic staff, and a management willing to make up for problems, make the overall experience a highly recommendable one.
