Riad Dar Sara

The staff are lovely. Got by with English, just. Riad is very close to the Souks if you know where you are going (try not to ask the locals). Very beautiful little Riad, if you eat there then you are in for a real treat. Breakfast is also very good. I couldnt fault it except that we were on the ground floor and it was very noisy. You could hear conversations word for word, and it was not very private. Not sure what the other rooms were like. It was very hot when we were there so the Riad is a welcome fresh cool place to take a break - there is also an unheated plunge pool, which my husband enjoyed. No hot water on the first day, but was quickly rectified. Would visit again, if we could get another room.

The Riad was a charming and refreshing oasis from the busy and hectic old Medina. The staff were friendly and helpful and always had a smile. The only issue was with my wife's dietary requirement. She is gluten intolerant so cannot eat bread etc. We explained this in great detail on our arrival but the message was not passed on so my wife had to survive on a boiled egg the next morning! However once we explained the problem again the staff came up with other suggestions although this amounted to cooked maize and popcorn, so they seemed to be a bit thrown by this and therefore rather limited in what they could offer - breakfast consists of jam & bread + pancakes and a boiled egg. The bedroom was beautifully decorated although there was a slight smell of bad drains. Everywhere else there was traditionally and tastefully decorated but the best part was the roof terrace where you could lounge in the shade quite privately. Overall a lovely place to stay...great ambience and kind, helpful staff. A working knowledge of French is really useful.

Riad was in a convient location from Jama al Fana( 15 minutes walk). rooms are clean but very poorly lighted. we had reserved 2 rooms, one of this had stagnant smell, probably the ventilation was not good. Staff can speak english. our slight issue was that we had rang from UK directly to the Riad and booked a taxi for which we were quoted a certain price but on arrival had to pay twice that sum as the current person incharge could not contact the person who spoke to us( despite quoting his name) . we would advise that one should get the pricing confirmed by email rather than just accepting their word on phone.

Peaceful, great location, clean, nice team, but basic rooms. Only issue we had was the hotel recommended a restaurant (I think it was called Darmoki) on our first night which was very expensive for below average food. Eat in the square - much tastier and cheaper. Hotel gave us a free transfer from the airport which was great - dont try and find the hotel yourself!

This is a small and friendly riad, very relaxing and quiet. The service is nice and friendly. The rooms are not very "private" but comfy and charming. The roof is converted into a very nice relaxing area with sofas, chairs etc where u can get tan or simply enjoy the view. Breakfast is served at the table but don't expect plenty of choice. There is a possibility of Massage and Spa in extra. If you are a girl, make sure you were cloth that cover your body because people there can be very rude towards girls... Overall, very pleasant stay.
