Detailed Review
Dar Al Kounouz blends modern comfort with the sophisticated charm of an authentic Moroccan decor. The discreet and attentive live-in staff embody all of the many virtues of Moroccan hospitality.
This riad of character where tranquillity reigns supreme is set in the historic Mouassine district, a stone's throw from its fountain, the souks and the legendary Jemaa El Fna square.
Around the patio : 6 delightfully cosy guestrooms with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, telephone, safe and satellite TV. The living room with fireplace, dining room and hammam are all at your disposal, along with the flowered panoramic terrace standing against the Dar El Bacha palace.
Our talented cook will prepare all the receipes you desire: briouates, salads, tagines, couscous, and many other local dishes.

"Traditional Moroccan riad in the heart of the Medina"
Dar Al Kounouz
By Joanna Monkhouse
Dar Al Kounouz is a compact but charming riad with six small ensuite rooms. Decorated in a traditional Moroccan style and faithfully restored using time-old techniques and handicrafts – carved plasterwork, zellige, green roof tiles – it offers good value for those seeking an authentic address in Marrakech.
The rooms are comfortable and welcoming with attractive furnishings. Iron framed double beds or twins are standard and one room (Ivoire) can accommodate three. All the bathrooms have showers except for two with a bath.
The courtyard, which has a central fountain, palm trees and a small ‘coin salon’, is covered over in winter allowing guests to use it whatever the weather, and there is also the main salon which has a fireplace. There is a hamman too. The roof terrace of Dar Al Kounouz is next to the walls of the King’s Palace and has a good view of the medina. The staff are friendly and helpful.
