I had a lovely stay at Dar Doukkala Riad & Spa. The riad was more beautiful than I expected with its exquisite restoration and spacious, clean rooms. However, I did encounter some issues with communication at check-in and the breakfast variety could be improved. Overall, it was a great experience in a tranquil setting.

I had a wonderful experience at Dar Doukkala Riad & Spa, enjoying the exquisite atmosphere of the beautifully furnished old building. however, there were a few hiccups, like an overbooking issue that meant my first night was spent in another riad. Overall, it’s a perfect retreat from the lively Marrakech streets, with the staff being very attentive yet respectful of my privacy.

My stay at Dar Doukkala Riad & Spa was a mix of beauty and challenges. The exquisite restoration of the riad was a delight, but the initial experience was marred by some operational issues. The location was perfect for exploring the heart of Marrakesh, yet I wished the service had been more transparent and attentive.

The huge, luxurious room was spotlessly clean, although it felt a bit cold at first. I appreciated the spaciousness, especially with my family, even if it lacked some amenities initially described in our booking.

The staff was friendly, but I felt a lack of information regarding the hotel amenities. It required prompting to get the details, and I think an information folder in the rooms would really help future guests.

My stay at Dar Doukkala Riad & Spa was truly nice. I was welcomed with good tea and biscuits, and the tranquil atmosphere offered a perfect escape from the bustling streets of Marrakesh. While the air conditioning was a bit underwhelming, it didn't spoil the overall experience. I highly recommend this lovely riad for anyone visiting Morocco.

Dar Doukkala Riad has a lot of charm, particularly with its beautiful architecture and warm atmosphere, yet it's evident that the hotel is currently in need of some care and attention. While the staff was friendly and made efforts to ensure a comfortable stay, there are significant shortcomings in the maintenance and management. With proper investment and attention to detail, it could transform into a truly excellent retreat.
