        The guesthouse is tucked nicely off to the side of a mildly busy walking market path. We received a warm welcome and continuous service from all of the staff. Staying there again would be a welcome opportunity.

        cleaniness, staff, food

        This is the first hotel I stayed after arriving in Morocco, and it gave me a great first impression about this country. The owner is very friendly and helpful (also very multilingual). From pickup at bus station, tourism guidance to serving dinner, he does everything to make his guests feel like at home. The room is clean with local decorations, the food is great (the best chicken tajine and fruit salads during my stay in Morocco actually), other guests I met here are also very easy-going, will definitely recommend this lovely place to others.

        a pretty hotel with nice decorated rooms,though small a little bit. big bed. hot water and it's warm in the hotel in winter-such a rare thing in our long winter marocco trip. free tea and maps. every day cleaning. the view is at the opposite wall,but that's an ordinary situation in medina. a comfortable living room on the 2 floor. the breakfast-coffee,pancakes,jam,fresh juice,bread.traditional for marocco.enough for girls but men will be hungry

        v riádu dar el paco nám nemohli ubytovat, protože měli (technický?) problém. zajistili však ubytování v nedalekém rodinném hotelu riádového typu, kde nás přijal velmi milý a ochotný majitel, hovořící vícero jazyky a snažící se vždy vyhovět. obě dvě ubytování leží ve slepé, klidné uličce v jz části mediny, blízko moře. snídaně byly chutné, ale velmi malé. jediné dvě nepříjemnosti byly teplá voda pouze od 8h do 20h a údajná turistická taxa ve výši 3 eur/os/den, která je hodně nadsazená, protože ostatní riády vybírají podstatně menší částku, pokud vůbec nějakou.
