Frommer's Review

This small dar lives up to its alternative name, La Maison des Couleurs, with shades of green, yellow, orange, and pink throughout -- and an owner/manager who is just as bright. It took 4 years of renovation before German native Petra Köppe -- formerly a teacher of English and Japanese -- opened this decidedly un-Moroccan maison d'hôte in 2004. Guests are greeted by a courtyard with a small garden, Roman columns, and large black-and-white floor tiles. One interior wall, which is shared with the dar's neighbors, is where two bathrooms sit almost suspended in air in a very creative feat of construction. The compact, colorful rooms are simply furnished; some come with a window that adds light and air to the whole house. A small kitchen is available for use by guests, and the bright-green, split-level rooftop terrace offers up superb 360-degree views. It's very reasonably priced, and is close to most of the medina's restaurants and shops.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
