I had friends visiting Morocco for the first time and we wanted them to experience an authentic Moroccan riad. After reading the stellar reviews from other guests, I booked our stay Dar Chams thinking we hit the jackpot. In my confirmation email from hotels.com I was told we would “pay at the property”. Once we arrived we were greeted by a welcoming hostess who took our information including my husband's ID. We were never asked to pay, so we assumed all was well. We did some touring and had a late dinner before coming back to the hotel around 1 am. Mind you, Tangiers is a night city.
Once the guard opened the door to the riad, he allowed me and my two American friends (all white) to enter without hesitation, but when he saw my Moroccan husband, he gave him a little push on the shoulder telling him he hadn't paid for this room. He insisted that the hostess took down our information and we all had a right to be at the hotel, but the guard still refused to let him enter threatening to call the police. I further insisted that if there was a problem with payment the guard should be talking directly to me. When we called the manager he gave a pretty empty apology making the excuse that, “many guests had tried to avoid paying their bills by jumping out the window". I don't have space to go into the entire absurd story. In brief, my Moroccan husband was a victim of severe racism and did not receive the proper apology from the manager or guard who accosted him. Sadly, one star.

If you want to immerse yourself in culture than this is the hotel for you. However, it comes at a price: inconvenience and con artists .To truly enjoy this lovely hotel and its hospitality you should not book any tours or transportation before 10 am, as breakfast does not start until 8:30 and the gates leading into the Casbah do not open early, which means quite a very confusing hike in a hilly area to cabs. Because Morracans
stay up late the streets are noisey well past midnight, (we had a lively drummer under playing under our window) especially on Holy Days .

The building, furniture and interior design are so pretty and the staff was very kind. The guide tour arranged by the hotel was also nice. Good experience of the first visit to Morocco.

Our stay was amazing mostly because of how attentive Nora was from the beginning to the end of our stay. She organized everything for us from the time we arrived at the airport to the time we departed: taxi from airport, guide for a day with transportation, transportation to train station at the end. She was great!

The staff was wonderful and attentive. The restaurant was amazing, delicious food. The accommodations were fine. No a/c and no fans. The windows facing the street are noisy with the living going on below (to be expected) but I didn’t mind. It was all part of the experience. I lived every minute there 😍

The property was not as described. No one was at the desk for most of the time we were there. The shower and bathroom were dirty. There was no air conditioning.

They pressured us into taking the Medina tour. It was awful. The paid guide brought us to overpriced shops and told us it was a good deal. We later saw the same items at other shops for a fraction of the price.
This hotel does not have any elevators so you have to struggle with your bags on the narrow stairs.

Beautiful accommodation in a great location in the old town. Breakfasts were divine, rooms were out of Home Beautiful, and your hosts could not do enough to help....including organising taxis, and grand taxi to Chefchaouen.

Michelle and her staff are wonderful!! Dar Chams is beautiful and has an amazing location. It’s a very comfortable stay and top class service. I’d recommend to anyone in a heart beat. Be sure to coordinate with the property for taxi service upon arrival, we did not....everything was fine but was an unplanned adventure. The rooftop is stunning, they have a drink menu (including wine!) which we sipped in the evening on the roof and had a lovely breakfast in the morning. Michelle gave us many recommendations based on our travel needs. Wish we could have stayed longer.

What Expedia prices the property at is questionable. Expect to pay more. The rate is charged in Dirhams which are valued against the Euro. Here's the rub. The Dirham is valued higher in Morocco against the Euro. So you pay more. Unless the currency used for booking is stronger than the Euro.
Moreover, cash payment option in Dirhams was not offered at Dar Chams Tanja assuming you could legally bring enough into the country. The limit is 4000 Dirham per person.

Hotel or Riad was lovely. But situated in a dirty part of the Medina,, old town! Filthy outside! Was afraid to walk streets,,,locals pestered us and aggressively too!Riad near Mosque,,,local prayer starts at 5 AM for thirty minutes!! Loud noise from this!!! Street urchins or children run the streets until 23.30pm screaming and keeping us awake! Lady owner unpleasant!! Her husband was very nice! Very difficult to find location even by taxi !!! No restaurant nearby,, except 2 very expensive ones! Would never visit again!!!

Excellent boutique hotel in the heart of the action in Tangier. The owners are very kind and quick to respond to any and all questions I had via email. The room was beautiful and spacious.The bathroom was clean, modern and the shower was perfect. We were lucky weather-wise and had cool nights and did not use the AC in the room, but if you need to use it I would recommend making sure it works during the daytime while the owners are there to help turn it on as we couldn't figure it out! But we really didn't need it at all so it was not a problem. I stayed for 2 nights with my husband and 2 young daughters and we had a lovely time. The location couldn't have been more ideal for us, right at the top of the Medina and just steps from everything we wanted to see. The breakfast every morning on the rooftop was wonderful. We had zero issues with street noise disturbances even though our room was an exterior room.(We were given the Bedouina room) I highly recommend visiting the Hotel Nord Pinus rooftop at sunset for a cocktail from their bar.

This hotel is a hidden gem. The decor is fabulous including original artwork. The rooms were very comfortable, well decorated and the bathroom was very nice. The breakfast was incredible. Several courses served on a terrace overlooking the old city and harbor area. Dominique, the owner, was a great help arranging a fabulous tour guide and a taxi to pick us up at the port.

Dar Chams Tanja is a beautiful property inside the Medina. The hosts, Michèle & Dominique, are warm & hospitable one feels immediately at home upon entering. The ladies who serve breakfast & clean the rooms greet guests with smiles. The rooms are cleaned everyday. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is an excellent assortment of fruits, cakes, breads, cheese, jams and yogurt with good coffee. There is cooked to order eggs. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice rounds out the breakfast offerings. The driver & guide that they arranged for us were reasonable and good.Last but not least, Khadija, in the front office, is always there to answer questions & take care of the guests. Thank you for an excellent & memorable stay. We love our suite!
