nice place, close from everywhere, nice staff and very friendly, comfortable common areas. you must improve your internet, it doesn`t work at all!!, they don`t really accept credit card as the website and booking sites say they do.

The staff here are unique in the marriage of tolerance , care and helpfulness. Every problem has a solution at Dar El Pacha, and nothing and no-one is too much trouble. It has a 'home from home ' atmosphere that is its charm and attraction. Does everything work perfectly in your home? At least here ther is the whole range... More

Saying that, it wasn't a bad place at all and the smell of cat was only faint and only at the entrance. The room... was functional with a high ceiling, although a bit cramped and the... More

We stayed here as it was cheap, quiet and we had large rooms. That's the plus points. It is run down, a bit smelly which is nice if you like damp smells. The breakfast is very basic, even to the waterd down jam. The access is through a series of alleyways culminating in a tunnel popular with cats/people who can't... More

Central location in the middle of the medina. If you are new in the town, it can be difficult to find that place.Streets are really narrow there and a bit not clear for newcomers but don`t worry for sure someone will help you, small tip will be welcomed. The building is very old and has a very interesting architecture, nice... More

Good value for money, nice terrace with view of the sea, good friendly staff, and very easy to find One thing I didn`t really like was the fact that you couldn`t get any WiFi connection on the last floor, but it was a single room up there and I guess it`s just not worthed for them to buy another repeater
