GermanyThe hotel was beautiful with large modern rooms and nice design. We were kept warm despite it being cold outside during a cold snap. The rooftop is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The staff and owner Gareth saw to our every need and gave us helpful advice. WiFi was fast enough for me to do necessary work. Breakfast was great and even offered eggs and English breakfast tea with milk in addition to the usual Moroccan pancakes, fruit, yogurt, pastries, etc. Our room felt very quiet and private.

United KingdomMy wife and I spent three wonderful nights w/ Gareth and his staff at Dar Maya. We stayed in the beautiful Tinga Suite on the third floor with the terrace above us and a common living room right outside our door. Five rooms/suites so our stay was intimate and calm. Gareth is ever present and helpful in arranging transport, dinner reservations or outings. His tips and suggestions were perfect for our tastes. Enjoyed a quiet afternoon on the terrace over a couple of glasses of wine. Highly recommended.
