Good points first. The Dar is in a good bit of Fès, near Museum Bacha and within easy reach of nice restaurants and the souk. It's about a 25 minute walk to the Qarawiyin Mosque. The alley it's on is tidy and there's a taxi rank nearby. The two hosts, Abdul and Soufyan, were charming and helpful and the breakfast was good. The room was clean and relatively quiet, good wifi, and the building itself is a very interesting c19th Dar with lots of original decorative detail. Now for the irritations. I was collected from the train station as arranged (albeit after waiting half an hour). The website says this is free but I was charged E10. I arrived at a hotel - which turned out not to be the one I booked. 'There is a problem' I was later told. That may well have been true. But no-one thought to discuss it with me, and I'm the one paying the bill. I had been taken to Dar Amir, also managed by Hamza. Put in a room which opened directly off reception and had glass doors, and the window in the shower opened right behind the reception desk. It was very noisy as people came and went and lights were going on and off all night. Very little sleep. This change of hotel without any discussion was very poor and I said so. I suspect many might have expected not to be charged for that night but yes I was. And they wanted paying in cash, not mentioned on the website, which involved a trip to the bank. So no doubt there's not much tax being paid. So check, dear reader, they're actually going yo take you to the hotel you booked.
