Kasbah-style hotel with three layers of rooms opening onto central courtyard with roof open to sky. Mostly lovely sounds of seagulls but with 20 rooms around the courtyard, sometimes sounds of late revellers can disturb the night. Our room on third floor was large and comfortable but only small window opening onto courtyard. No airconditioning or fan but even though... More

Free use of the hammam (you need to book at... More

The location of this hotel in riad-style is perfect! It is situated in the medina and it is just a 2-5 minute walk from the beach and the harbour. The breakfast is very nice, served at the lovely roofterrace overlooking the beach. Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff! Good value! Perfect stay!

Location is central but parking is in the public car park nearby which involves the usual hoardes of men and boys after huge tips for the simplest of things (such as wiping the windscreen when it is raining!). We had paid for deluxe rooms and I really don't think it is worth it. There is nothing deluxe about them. Bathrooms... More

I loved this place. We got a room on the top floor which has lots of natural light. Room 32 is like a honeymoon suite, very comfortable and romantic. Service is very good overall. Very sweet people in reception and the staff on the terrace serve a lovely breakfast. Make sure to ask for hot coffee so they make it... More

The Dar L'oussia is a little paradies located in the Medina. A peaceful and quiet riad, a splendid roofterrace where you can enjoy a delicious lunch or have a sundowner and fairy-like rooms - wait for you! An absoulut must: cooking lessons with Samira! She showed us some secrets of the Maroccan cuisine! Alain and his team are wonderful hosts,... More

Fantastic hotel that ticked every box for me. From the simple but lovely breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea to wonderful service and food at dinner and everything in between. The room was clean and comfortable with lovely touches (windows - they're clever!) and they replaced my water every day with no charge and never failed to clean my... More
