Frommer's Review
Since 2001, Jalil el Hayar's Dar Ziryab has been the accommodation of choice for those wanting the culture and authenticity of a medina maison d'hôte with the openness and easy access of the ville nouvelle. Located in a residential area just behind the Royal Mirage (formerly Sheraton) and Crown Palace hotels, this house is a living museum-cum-art gallery, decorated in expertly crafted zellij, stucco, carved cedar, and colored Iraqi glass. The restaurant/salon is simply stunning. Tiled throughout but warmed by Moroccan carpets and kélims, there's a homeliness to Dar Ziryab that you wouldn't expect from such a grand mansion. The rooms are all very private, some with a terrace and fireplace, but open onto a central lounge room often used for communal aperitifs before dinner. Jalil's wife is an excellent cook and serves traditional Moroccan cuisine that is equal to anything available in Fes. For families, there's a split-level corner suite with two beds and a private yard.

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.
