Dar Housnia

"As a family we had an exceptional 3 days. Children loved the swimming pool and their rooms were outstanding, staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. Our room was most attractively decorated and very comfortable. Food was very tasty, beautifully presented and overall atmosphere was very homely."

"We spent five nights at Dar Housnia at the end of August and couldn’t recommend staying here enough. The riad looks exactly like the photos and is truly an oasis in the middle of the medina. All of the staff were so kind and attentive, but we mainly dealt with Abdu, the evening manager, due to the time of day we were at the riad. He was a fantastic host, giving us excellent restaurant recommendations and organising a last minute hot air balloon ride for us. It was lovely to return each evening to his hospitality! Lamya was so friendly and assisted us during the day, and we had the most delicious breakfasts and dinners prepared by Zineb. The food at the riad was the best we had during our trip, so thank you Zineb for some truly incredible meals. We stayed in the Mogador suite which was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Every day we ate on the gorgeous roof terrace and cooled off in the beautiful pool. An unforgettable trip, and we will recommend Dar Housnia to everyone we know! Thank you all!"

"We took the whole 4 bedroom Riad, even though there were only 4 of us. Still great value. We got a cab from the airport and were dropped off a short walk from the Riad (through the busiest and craziest little alleyways - but it all added to the experience!) When the door opened into the Riad, we were bowled over by how peaceful and beautiful it is inside. There's a central courtyard with a huge palm tree in it and a sitting area. All the bedrooms are full of character and very comfortable. There's a small swimming pool and a lovely roof terrace where we had breakfast every day. We had 2 evening meals in the Riad and 2 others at local restaurants (La Terrace des Epices and +61 - both excellent and very different feel to each other. Try both - you won't be disappointed!). The Riad meals were delicious - fantastic fresh salads and bread with chicken and lemon tagline one night and lamb tagline the other. Followed by dessert. All cooked by the lovely Zineb. At a cost of around €30 euros a head, they were really Good value. The Riad is beautiful but the staff just make the whole experience wonderful. Abdu and Hamza are both charming and helpful and always on hand for whatever you need. All the housekeeping staff are smiley and keep the place spotlessly clean. You should be aware that the Riad does not have a licence to sell alcohol - something we were not aware of prior to arriving. Not a massive issue in the scheme of things really but worth knowing. Overall we had a fabulous time here and would highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for an authentic Moroccan experience."
