Dar Tasnime

Location: This accommodation offers an excellent location, often described as central and within walking distance of key attractions like Jemma el-Fna square, the Medina, restaurants, and shops, while still being situated on a calm and peaceful street.

The Dar Tasnime is a beautiful family owned & run Riad in the Medina Marrakesh. The host was charming and very welcoming, sharing local knowledge & tips. It is an oasis of calm in the centre of the town and we will definitely be recommending this venue to our friends!

My wife and I were excited to stay here after reading all the amazing reviews, especially after a long journey from the Sahara. However, it fell far short of our expectations. We arrived around 6PM and when we rang the bell, the owner opened the door and rushed us in, telling us we're "late." We sat down, registered, paid the city tax, and were sent off to our room. During this whole process, his demeanor was very unfriendly. Not once were we offered help with our bags. The room is quite small for two people, but is beautifully decorated, especially the bathroom. There was some miscommunication regarding the bed type, but housekeeping quickly fixed it the next day (converted two twins into one double). The worst part of the experience was the shower. After being in the Sahara for 4 days, we wanted to take a nice hot shower. After 15 minutes, all the hot water ran out and we had to wait until the next morning to shower again. We didn't even experience this in guesthouses on the way to the Sahara. We were gaslighted and told the shower can accommodate 3 people showering in one night. The breakfast was actually quite delicious with lots of variety (yogurt, eggs, fruit, crepes, and other local specialties). Aside from during breakfast time, all of our interactions with the owner were quite unpleasant and we sensed a lot of attitude from him. This was by far the worst accommodation during our 2 week stay in Morocco.
