I loved Dar El Menia! It's a lovely place hidden in a gem that is The Medina in Fes. Being a first timer in Morocco, I was worried that my friend and I would get lost, especially in the medina. It is literally a maze but the people at Dar El Menia made it seem like a piece of cake... More

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Dar El Menia in the heart of the Medina. We would start the day with a sumptuous breakfast on the roof top (eggs, baked bread, jam, butter, coffee with cardamon (I didn't like the cardamon) and when I requested not to have it, they were happy to oblige. I loved our guide... More

We booked the entire dar for 15 nights for a floating population of family and friends. It turned out to be perfect for us, allowing us the flexibility to be as busy or lazy as we wanted each day. Jamal, our host, guide, friend and advisor, was so fantastic and funny and helpful. Mostapha and Um Kithum prepared the most... More

Quite simply the place to stay. Graham, our host was most welcoming and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and decorated in an authentic, traditional style. The meals were second to none thanks to the chef Um Kal Thum, she certainly is a great asset. This B and B is perfectly located to visit the main attractions on the Medina... More

Dar El Menia is an ancient house in an ancient city, beautifully restored by its English owner. There are only four rooms, so the experience is more like staying in a guest house than in a hotel.The Dar provides just the right balance of unobtrusive help and support - staff are around in the mornings and evenings, and in the...

This was our first visit to Morocco, We found Dar El Menia on the Internet, We were met in the parking area by Jamal and on our walk to the Dar we started to haqve grave doubts as the alleys became narrower and narrower. Our fears were soon dispelled when we entered the front door and walked into the magnificent... More

Visiting Fez is like going back in time - staying at the Dar el Menia makes the time travel complete. On my architecture travel trough Morocco - Dar el Menia was not just a place to stay but also an architectural experience. The house is a beautiful old traditional courtyard house situated nicely in the labyrinth of the Fez medina.... More

we rented the whole riad for our group of 8 people and had it all to ourselves! The owner, Graham, was only felt as the nice spirit who helped us do the complicated booking and had left by the time we arrived. Everyday, Jamal came and checked that we were fine, gave us all the information we needed, helped us... More

This little hotel was fantastic. Graham and Jamal and team were all super friendly, relaxed and informative. I wish we had stayed longer just to hang out - but we broke the vintage fan the night before so had to split quick. We stayed on the second floor room which was extra beautiful with the tile and furnishings and came... More
