Dar el Medina is a magical building, but the manager was indifferent to my questions, often brushing me off with the suggestion to just go somewhere else, as if having guests or questions from guest was an imposition. The services were unreliable, promised wifi non-existent, and hardwired network unreliable. Breakfast was varied and good, but not for several days. The... more

We had a delightful stay for four nights. The staff were very helpful; one man spoke very good English. Unfortunately the best really close restaurants were closed (Dar el Jeld and Hammouda Pacha - maybe worth checking; and the El Hadj was only open for lunch), but the Essaraya was in easy walking distance and was excellent (the man with... more

We are so pleased to have stuck to our decision to stay at Dar El Medina. We had already booked directly with the Hotel when we saw some of the negative reviews on TA, so we got nervous and began to ask other TA posters, who re-assured us of their positive experiences. Based upon such reassurances, we stuck to our... more

This little hotel was charming, the location magical, and the management and staff so gracious. Breakfast croissants and breads rival anything we've had before. The view from the roof romantic. Complimentary fresh squeezed oj at arrival, and late afternoon treats of fresh friut and mineral water a delightful addition. Our "room" was huge with maybe a lttle too much overstuffed... more

Stayed at this gorgeous little hotel in April last year for two nights. We had booked online requesting a particular room but on arrival found we'd been put in another room. We were disappointed at the time but staff happily moved us to our preferred room the next day. Pretty much everything we have to say about this place is... more

I will not be staying at Dar El Medina again: Much as I loved the interior and to some extent the location, I will not give my custom to an establishment/management which shows little integrity or honour in it's relationship with it's customers. In fact. I would go so far as to say that the management here is not trustworthy.... more

I was immediately skeptical of the hotel after realizing that the only route there included a trek through an unpaved, poorly lit, muddy road littered with garbage and teeming with stray cats. However, even that did not compare to the lack of safety we soon felt due to the very poor management of the hotel. We booked through hotels.com and... more

I use Trip Avisor quite a bit, and I am always interested in reviews where a a few really trash a hotel that is viewed by others as quite nice. This is the case with respect to the Dar. If you are interested in being in the thick of things this is the hotel for you. If you want a... more

This hotel is a haven of peace and tranquility. The three of us occupied 2 rooms. Both were wonderful with carpets and fabrics of the country . Even the lack of a lift didnt seem to matter and was anyway quite understandable given the general layout of all these old houses. We could look over the street or just recover... more
