Reviews of Dar Ouassim

I loved the family feeling in this traditional home. The views from the terrace are also breathtaking. Thank you for your hospitality

Great meals

The property was spotless, comfortable and perfectly located. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. Perfect breakfast!!!!

The room and the house are dark, dirty, filthy, smell bad. Things are run down and in bad state. The husband is rude and greedy.

Everything was great given the price I called early morning around 9-10 am from Fes CTM station, they answered promptly, and accepted my request for an early check in. Upon arrival at the taxi stop I was greeted by the hosts son who carried my luggage to the riad Check In was accompanied by some Moroccan tea and light snack, nice touch Host and family are multi lingual, I spoke french and English and a few basic Arabic phrases. They are knowledgeable and accompanied me once to look for Cash plus office. I was offered the choice of different rooms for the same price, but I chose the ground floor for ease due to my health and mobility issues. A basic breakfast was included, tea, honey, Moroccan bread, cheese, very handy and excellent value for money Hosts do offer meals at additional cost, but I preferred to eat outside, other guests seemed to enjoy that. Overall can't complain, would definitely stay again. I ended up staying 3 nights.

Nothing really, for that price it's hard to find fault. If I were to nit pick it would be ... The shared bathrooms are quite tiny and lack adequate hanging fittings so it can be a little tricky, but it's doable.

Lady Khadija is great ma sha Allah

The people are so nice

Perfect location Hospitality

Poor wifi in the room (but it's strong in the riad hall)

The owners were very nice people

It's near the tanneries so smells bad. Facilities are so poor, that no toilet paper or soap is available

The place is big, and you have high ceilings, a terrace and lots of privacy. Friendly staff who let me be alone for the most part. They even encouraged me to take an excursion to Chefchaouen on my last day when I forgot that I wanted to. Location is in the beautiful old medina, I recommend the restaurant just outside and also Zohra around the corner.

I noticed many cockroaches in my room and other areas. The staff were friendly, but when I specifically told them No to breakfast and dinner in the hotel due to hygiene concerns (their previous offerings were unpleasant, including the tea), the lady of the house would come to my door often with a tray full of food. I had to scream NO once because she did not listen to my request to not serve food. It comes from friendliness I know, but I felt harassed after a few days. The family owners also live here and sometimes they are screaming or making noise. Wifi is weak. The gate to the hotel has to be opened from the inside so you end up waking the staff up if you’re out late at night, with a heavy knock. Other than that I felt welcome and had my own space, and for a few days I would recommend this place for a budget traveller.

I had an ensuite room on the ground floor so it was relatively cooler. The owner’s son walked me to the hotel the day I arrived and the owner walked me to get a petit taxi the morning I left.

The description of the room says air-conditioned which is inaccurate. The owner arranged a fan to be brought in. There were cockroaches in my room.

Exceptionally kind owners - I felt very well treated; calm environment to relax after a day in the medina, striking, traditional architecture within the house, very cool terrace - one of my favourite sojourns overall. Many thanks!

The bathroom/shower area next to the room was unusually tiny, but nothing to complain of otherwise.

Great breakfast. Made very welcome by family. Was helped finding a taxi to airport. Room was lower floor so cooler.

Bathroom needs a good clean. Wifi worked in house but not in my room. Its at the other end of the medina from blue gate & I got lost many times.

The family and owner were very kind and helpful.. it's a good opportunity for the people who want to learn about the culture to stay There.

- location: close to tanneries - the owner is very hospitable: instead of asking my passport he offered me a welcome cup of marrocan tea, which was very great after an exhausting search of the hostel - the antique house, this is an historical monument with authentic atmosphere. The doors and ceilings are very high! - toilet+shower is close to the room

- very hard to find the hostel, no signs outside. Impossible to find the entrance without asking people - tiny toilet combined with shower, no hangers or shelves in the toilet, there is no place to hang or put your clothes - no towels - wifi is not stable inside the room - the breakfast is poor (bread, butter, jam and tea)

The location, family and tagine cooked by Amina 😍

The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful.

So the biggest positive is that the host family is nice and helpful. I felt welcomed a lot when I stayed there.

To be fair, I probably got the smallest room, as I stayed alone. The room I got was just beside the toilet and I can hear the noises in the toilet. And the toilet is quite small too. But if you travel with friends and stay in one of the multi-people rooms I think it will be more comfortable. But for the price I paid and the helpfulness of the hosts I think its an OK place to stay.

Good included breakfasts, coffee and mint tea

Uncomfortable beds

The Room is nice.

Difficult to find the place. Even the owner sent me the wrong location from Whatsapp. No signboard. U need to ask the local neighborhood.

Very nice old big house in medina. In it you feel the spirit of Fez. Helpful hosts. Delicious dinner. Beautiful terrace. I very liked to stay there.

Weak wifi signal in the room. Sometimes it didn't work.

I really liked this place, I felt very welcomed and I was treated like a family member ! Mama Khadijah was very kind and nice with me! The riad feels very magical and mesmerizing! Like straight from 1001 nights stories, very magical and beautiful! I really liked my room with beautiful yellow sofas! And the delicious mint tea they made me! Thank you you made my trip to morroco very special

It was a bit hard finding the location, there were no signs. I had to ask people around, but it’s partially my fault, because they wrote to me a message asking if they should meet me personally at the Madina gate! But over all everything is great
