Loved by Dar Ness Hotel guests
"Dar Ness was just as described and shown - immaculate and well-appointed rooms surrounding a beautiful courtyard."
"The position, 10 metres along the "secret" alleyway to the main square was perfect either during the day and evening."
"Breakfast on the terrace was a joy, fresh bread and fruit and lots of coffee!"

comfortable beddingtiled bathroomfresh fruit
My room had high-quality, comfortable bedding. The bathroom included beautiful moroccan tiled details. Breakfast was lovely (i enjoyed the fresh fruit). There was space available to leave luggage after check-out, if needed.
The music from a nearby hotel was quite loud at night.

mixed experience, some drawbacks noticed
loud musicdirty terrace
the noise was very intrusive. a nearby bar played loud music late into the night. sleep proved difficult. the terrace also looked neglected and was dirty. there was a cat roaming around that tried to get into the room, which i found unpleasant.
