Frommer's Review
This little "house of tranquillity," off busy Tala'a Kbira, is a real home away from home. Aussie Josephine came to Fes for a 12-month adventure and liked it so much, she decided to stay. The almost-300-year-old house was once owned by the imam of the nearby mosque and has been left largely untouched bar a few concessions to modern living. Each room is different: The Jacaranda suite can accommodate a third person in a separate sitting room; the Hibiscus room has welcoming external windows; and the Acacia room is excellent for two single travelers. The building's heart is a small patio on the first floor with a narrow kitchen to one side. Here everyone gathers for a communal breakfast -- and dinner if requested -- and can also spend the day enjoying an on-site cooking lesson.. The combination of rooms and the kitchen make Dar el Hana a perfect choice for groups of friends or families to rent out. Everything is little here, but in a nice way. The rooftop terrace is small but has enough space for everyone; an outdoor shower helps to cool down while sunbathing, while a round mosaic table is a popular spot for sunset drinks. Maisons d'hôte are a reflection of their owners, and friendly, welcoming, diminutive, and lively Dar el Hana is definitely that.

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.
