Why this one
All six rooms at Dar Kandi are suites with a king-size bed and breakfast for two in the price, so the choice is about space, the bathroom and where the suite sits in the house. The Suite Cactus, at €203 on the March night, is 28 m² on the mezzanine, with a double shower and a view of its own cactus garden, and it sleeps two only. The two patio suites, the Touch DéCo and the Arch, are €217, about 35 m² with a bath and a shower, and need no stairs. On the first floor, the Colonial is €226 and spread over two levels.
The Suite Balcony, at €235, is the one to take. For €32 a night over the Cactus it adds about 12 m², a canopy bed and a private balcony over the trees and the fountain of the patio: somewhere to sit with a coffee before the house wakes, or in the evening when the souks have gone quiet. The trade is the bathroom, which has a large shower but no bath. If a bath matters, the Suite De Luxe, at €253, has a pink marble one with a double shower, plus a lounge and a dressing room.
- Ask for
- Ask for breakfast on the small roof terrace on a clear morning: it looks over the Medina roofs to the Atlas, with snow on the peaks in winter. If you want the bath rather than the balcony, the Suite De Luxe is €18 more and the largest of the six.
- Avoid
- The Suite Cactus if you want space or a bath: at 28 m² it is the smallest suite and takes two guests only. All the first-floor suites, the pick included, are up a flight of stairs, and there is no lift.
