With so many riad hotels to choose from in Marrakech, it can be quite daunting to know which one to choose. Dar Les Cigognes ticks lots of boxes: great location next to important sites like Saadian Tombs and Badi Palace; lot's of fine eating places nearby--the terrace at Kosybar is a nice place to enjoy a drink or a meal--though the eating is pretty good at the hotel too.
There is a spa, a nice big roof terrace to enjoy the sun on, the room was spacious and well-appointed. All of this is trivial in the end compared to what makes this hotel stand out. We experienced some of the best service we have had in any hotel anywhere. nothing was trouble, and they were just so naturally helpful, friendly, it really made Marrakech come to life in the most wonderful way.
The prices are very reasonable for what we got. Outside of the souks Marrakech isn't as cheap as we expected--restaurants are a tad pricey. We did look at some other riads, both before we came, and also while we were here, and in the end we think that Dar Les Cigognes offered the best price/quality equation of any of the places we looked at.

I went to Morrocco on a day trip whilst visiting Spain. They were desperate to sell me stuff, even climbing into the coach and holding products up to the windows. I don't think I'd survive a proper holiday there.
