I was at Dar Gabriel for 28 nights in April. I was there to work on a writing project. The family of Ben and Izza really make you feel welcomed. They are so kind. I was even invited to a family birthday party with other guests. The beds are great and very comfortable even for someone like me with lower... More

Stayed here for two nights on two separate days pre and post hike in Rif mountains. The Dar is in great location just inside the medina walls and very easy to find. There was a fantastic view from the roof and the the rooms were really comfortable. Only real negative it was breakfast was very average moroccon breakfast and since... More

This is a lovely place to stay in a really attractive town, quite different in its attractions to what you get from the big cities like Fez and Marrakech. The road is perfectly located at the top of the town with a great balcony and views over the surrounding hills - also perfectly located for sunrise and sunset photographs over... More

I loved this place and the family who runs it. Ben, the manager, is also the one who did the renovations. It is most charming. One day when it was cold and rainy, our hosts brought us warm blankets and robes to wear as we sat in the parlour area reading. I stayed in one of the rooms up on... More

Our two nights in mid february were made very comfortable despite being a bit on the chilly side. Warm and friendly welcome and the meal on our second evening beside the huge wood burner was excellent and very cosy. We appreciated the warm bedding and used the wall heater all the time. Breakfasts were good and more tha enough. Roof... More

From their website you are led to believe that this is a Boutique Hotel. It is not. Also, this is not a Riad, it is a Dar. By definition, a Riad has a central courtyard garden and a Dar has a simple tiled courtyard. When we arrived, the rain was pouring through the halqa into the courtyard, the cover had... More

The house and the furnishings are really charm plus. The accommodations are spotless and the evening meal ( you need to request in the morning) was the best food we had in Morocco. The most outstanding thing, however, was the hospitality of Ben and Izza. I travelled with a friend. We had separate rooms and both were lovely. The electicity... More

I stayed here with my sister last September and loved the delightful Dar Gabriel. It is perfectly situated just inside the enticing medina, so ideal for wandering with a camera and shopping basket.

I have travelled around Morocco a lot and I can tell you from experience that most of the places I have stayed at in Morocco don't know a thing about Ambience or customer service, Dar Gabriel on the other hand has to be the most ambient and friendly hotel in the country (or pretty damn near!).
