Dar Drissi

This is definitely not a luxurious stay but it was good enough for the approximately $25 I paid per night during the offseason. I had a room all the way in the roof area. I am an able-bodied person, but climbing those steep winding stairs everyday was an adventure. If it rained, you had to be extra careful. If you have mobility issues, definitely ask for the group floor room. That being said, the room was fine for 1 or 2 people. The sink never got hot water, but at least I was able to shower in hot water. There was no hair dryer in the room, but I was able to ask for one. My friends in the ground floor suite had a huge three-bed room. The only issue with this in the winter was that the room was so big, the heater had a hard time keeping the room warm at night. Getting to the riad from one of the main gates is a bit of a walk, so I do recommend messaging the riad to let them know approximately your arrival time so the staff can meet you on the medina road as we had to do through some alleyways in between houses to get to the front entrance. Breakfast each day was slightly different. One day we had bread, coffee/tea, and juice. The next days, an egg, yogurt, or banana would be added in. It sufficed for the morning, but if you need more protein, you'd have to venture outside the riad. Overall I think it was a good bang for the buck.

The riad is beautiful and well maintained; it looks the same as what is shown on the pictures! The room is comfy and we loved having the breakfast downstairs with a view on the fountain. The manager Kibir is very kind, thoughtful and helpful. It shows that he cares for the place and for his guests. His wife also works there and she is lovely. I highly recommend the place :)

A Remarkable Experience to repeat again! Dar Drissi was an amazing experience for me, I was able to connect to the roots, the service was great and I can't thank the manager enough for his hospitality and help, I highly recommend this Riyad!!!

The manager was very friendly and cooperative. Helped us a lot, provided breakfast even when we left early.

Kibir, the Hotel Manager, came and got us from our taxi drop-off point as vehicles can't enter the medina. And thank goodness he did, as the medina is a complete maze. The hotel is lovely! We were served tea and cakes on arrival and given a map tour of the medina including all the tourist spots and local restaurants. The lady at breakfast (I'm so sorry I never got your name!) was amazing. Very kind and very friendly. We felt very safe with our own key to lock the front door and our room door. We also got Kibir's phone number so we could message him whenever we wanted. Being 4 girls, we felt very safe and very welcomed.
