My stay at Dar Al Hamra was quite enjoyable. The riad is a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle, yet still only a short walk from the main attractions. I appreciated the spacious and clean rooms, but I did encounter a few issues regarding the service that left me a bit disappointed.

Rooms

6.0

The room was nice and spacious, cleaned daily to immaculate condition. though I did notice a few small issues like the towels not being as clean as I expected. The beds were cozy, and I loved the air conditioning, but the noise from other guests was a bit distracting.

Service

The staff were generally warm and friendly. however, there was some confusion regarding breakfast timings that felt misleading. I also wasn't offered mint tea during my stay, which would have been a nice touch.

The location of Dar Al Hamra is fantastic, just a short 10-minute walk to the medina and the modern Gueliz area. it's tucked away enough to avoid the noise but close enough to explore easily.

Breakfast was quite hearty. I enjoyed the Moroccan pancakes and fresh juice. However, the situation with the breakfast timing was frustrating and felt somewhat unfair.

Facilities

The amenities were nice overall, including free WiFi and a peaceful roof terrace. but I wish there was a key for my door instead of needing to ring the bell.

I had a pleasant stay at Dar Al Hamra, with a fantastic rooftop view and very friendly staff. However, the arrival was a bit chaotic and there were some minor cleaning issues during my visit.

Rooms

My room was nicely furnished, and while it was cleaned daily, I noticed that towels weren't changed as frequently as I'd hoped. The air conditioning worked well, though it only produced cooling, not heating.

I had a mixed experience during my four-night stay at Dar Al Hamra. The initial two nights were good, with friendly staff and a well-furnished room, but my joy was short-lived due to an overbooking issue on my return. The location was perfect for exploring the medina, but I wish the communication had been clearer to avoid the disappointment of not being with my friends for New Year's Eve.

Rooms

My room was clean and tidy, with daily housekeeping. The furnishings gave it a lovely character, although the natural light was limited.

Service

The staff, especially Brahim, were warm and knowledgeable, assisting with excursions and providing helpful tips. However, the handling of my second booking could have been smoother.

The riad offered a comfortable environment with great amenities like WiFi and air conditioning. I especially loved the rooftop terrace for relaxation. However, I would have preferred more transparency regarding room access.

I had a pleasant stay at Dar Al Hamra, which is tucked away in a peaceful corner, yet super close to the bustling medina. The rooms were nicely furnished and comfortable, perfect for a restful night's sleep. However, the breakfast got repetitive after a few days, and the morning prayers from the mosque could be a bit jarring. Overall, it's a great budget option for a short visit, but I wouldn't recommend staying for longer than a few days.

Rooms

8.0

My room was clean and secure with charming decor. It had air conditioning and an en suite bathroom, which was a plus. However, I did notice that while they cleaned daily, my towels weren't changed regularly.

Service

The staff was friendly and accommodating, welcoming me with a map and suggestions for my stay. There were some inconsistencies, like being told one thing by one staff member and something different by another, which was a bit frustrating.

Location

9.0

The location is unbeatable! Just a short 10-minute walk to both the medina and Gueliz area, making it super convenient for exploring the city.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was quite simple and repetitive, consisting mainly of bread and jam. It was sufficient for a quick start to the day, but if you plan to stay longer, you might get tired of it.

Facilities

7.0

The riad had a lovely roof terrace that was perfect for relaxing. However, I wish I could have had a room key instead of having to ring the bell to get in all the time. Also, the air conditioning in my room wasn't very effective at heating.
