Our stay was amazing. We hope to go back

Our stay at Dar Housnia was amazing. We hope to go back. The decor was beautiful, the staff were friendly and we had excellent service from them. The food was delicious and the room was stunning. The location is within walking distance of the Souks and main square. The rooftop was peaceful and comfortable to sunbathe with a drink. Thank you Abdul for our lovely rooftop breakfasts, it was a lovely way to start the day.

Beautiful property with incredible staff. We don’t like the Medina so much to stay. I have to say that despite the surroundings being sketchy, we never felt scared or in danger. Abdel made sure we were always taken care of. We also had a great driver called Nabil. In short, great place with great staff but you must be ok with staying in the mayhem of the Medina.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at Dar Housnia were wonderful and made us feel right at home! The Riad itself is as beautiful as it is authentic with intricate detailing, lovely pool, and beautifully gardened roof terrace. I strongly recommend dining at the hotel at least once, as the chef prepares delicious traditional Maroccan dinners and breakfasts. Getting to the hotel is an interesting and immersive experience, we arranged an airport shuttle with the Riad who drove us to the square nearby, where we met a person who couriered our luggage the rest of the way (~500m) through the Medina to the Riad. The location is excellent; close to some of the best places to visit in Marrakech including Le Jardín Secret, Badi Palace, Souk Semmarine, and many others. I would strongly recommend this Riad to anyone interested in staying in the old city of Marrakech.

Disappointing Dar in residential part of medina

Dar Housnia is a good choice for those looking for a traditional house style hotel in a residential area of the medina. I was a little disappointed as the pictures of the hotel seemed to show a luxurious hotel. In reality Dar Housnia has a rustic feeling. In the bedroom, the rustic ceramic tile floor, the torn rug and the rustic finishing of the walls made me uncomfortable to walk barefoot. It did not help that the slippers in the room might have been white once, but now were grayish. The breakfast was ok with fruit, fresh orange juice, jams, traditional breads and eggs to order. We also had lunch in the hotel in our last day. We wanted to try the food in the hotel as other guests raved about it. Again, we were a little disappointed as the food was good, but nothing out of the extraordinary (The sardines and the lentil salad were good, but the strawberry desert was uninspiring), considering we had great Moroccan food in many restaurants in and out of the medina. Communication in english can be difficult. For some reason the manager would always revert to talking in french until we made a confused face. The lunch was a case in point. We ordered the sardines and the chicken and one strawberry and one orange desert. The chicken and the orange desert never arrived.

2 bedroomのお部屋に泊まりましたが天井の高いリビングと屋上にプライベートバルコニーと別にプールのあるバルコニー(ここは共用かも?)まであり、お値段の割に広々していてとても贅沢な空間でした。オプションのディナーもめちゃくちゃ美味しいのでマストで頼むべきです。アルコールが頼めないのとお部屋には冷蔵庫はありません。周囲はローカルな生活感に溢れています。ベン・ユーセフ・マドラサまで徒歩5分、15〜20分も歩けばフナ広場です。ホスピタリティも高くレスポンスも早いので色々相談するといいと思います。お部屋のセンスが素晴らしくどこを撮っても雑誌のようでインテリア好きな方にオススメです。

5* home away from home. this is a wonderful hideaway in the heart of Medina. Mustapha and Ali are the kindest and most helpful hosts. they gave us all the tips and trick to survive in the crazy Medina. All suites are unique and very comfy with beautiful design. Delicious brekkie. Love chilling in the evenings on the patio. Make sure you use their airport transfer to connect swiftly as taxi won't get you to the doors and medina streets are very difficult to navigate.

Le cadre est enchanteur, le personnel est aux petits soins, la cuisine de Rachida est excellente. Bien que le site de l’hôtel ne cible pas du tout les familles avec enfant, notre fille de 8 ans a trouvé ce séjour merveilleux. Nous n'avons pas de point négatif à souligner.

Beautiful, homely and fabulous food!

Dar Housnia is beautiful and we were so well looked after by Mustafa and Ali throughout our stay. Rachida cooked us the most delicious meals, the best of our whole trip. My rooms was beautiful and very comfortable, the only slight downside was that the rooms were a little on the chilly side (even with the extra heaters provided) and I wasn’t quite prepared for the lack of a stand up shower! But if I return to Marrakech I would definitely, without hesitation, stay here again. We were made to feel like we were at home, with the added benefit of a private butler! Overall, fabulous!

Tolles Ambiente, toller Service

Wir waren für 3 Nächte zu Gast. Wir wurden von den Besitzern sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und auch das Personal familiär und immer freundlich. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und gepflegt und das Bett super bequem. Neben zwei Dachterassen, einem Pool, Massagen und einem privaten Hamam, bietet Dar Housnia auch private Dinner an. Wir hätten die 3 Tage am liebsten alleine dort verbracht.

zentrales Riad in der Medina

Wir hatten uns extra ein Riad direkt in der Medina ausgesucht, allerdings wäre es unmöglich gewesen, ohne Fahrservice den wir über das Riad gebucht hatten, dorthin zu finden, da man mit dem Auto nur bis zu einem bestimmten Platz gelangen konnte und ab dann ging es zu Fuß weiter (Koffer wurden auf Karren geladen). Das Riad hat es nicht so mit der Privatsphäre, denn unsere Zimmertür stand die ersten Tage immer sperrangelweit auf, was für uns ungewöhnlich ist und wir mussten darum beten das die Türen geschlossen werden. Das Zimmer sah im Internet auch größer und heller aus als es tatsächlich war und ebenfalls gab es zur Trennung vom Bad und Toilettenbereich nur einen Vorhang und keine Tür. Das Frühstück war okay. Abendessen konnte zugebucht werden. Die Lage war allerdings hervorragend, da wir mitten im Geschehen waren, so wie wir es gewollt hatten. Das Personal konnte nur bedingt Englisch und man war ohne Französischkenntnisse sonst schon aufgeschmissen im Riad. Alles in allem jedoch alles sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sauber und freundliches Personal.

Rude, Unsafe

Unfortunately, we had a terrible stay at this hotel. While the space is beautiful and well kept, the service was awful. Specifically, Ali was very, very rude during our stay. We were ambilant of his behavior during the stay, however, we were pushed past our limit when we were locked out of the hotel on our final night without another way to get in (they don't give you a key). After ringing the doorbell, we were left for 20-minutes standing late at night in a dark alley (where the hotel is located) with no answer. We had no choice but to walked back down the dark alley to the main street and asked a vendor to call the hotel. After two unsuccessful phone calls, Ali answered that he was at the hotel. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience once we were safely back, he said he was in the lounge and could not hear the doorbell. He insinuated the situation was our fault and again said we could not expect him to hear us. If he had only apologized, we would have been upset but understood. I expected much better service from an establishment that purports to be a four-star property.
