There are several things to keep in mind before you book the Dar Sultan. The good - the staff was nice as was the breakfast.
The Bad - First, location, it may seem like the best place to be to experience the kasbah and the medina, but you can have the experience by staying out of the area. The hotel/home, is cramped, has cats, is old, has tons of stairs and narrow stairways to climb to get to your room. This means that if you need anything you must climb up and down to get service.
The hotel does not accept credit cards so book and pay online with Expedia. They charge for water! Yep, no note or notice, but you will pay 2€ for a small bottle and 3€ for a liter. Just outside you can get a 1liter bottle for about .20€.
Everyone is on the take! Use these rules:
1. Stand up for yourself - if you get a guide, do not allow them to waste your valuable time and take you into any shops, if they do, walk out immediately and end the tour. Determine the price up front - don't buy into the "if you are happy, I am happy, pay me what you would like. Average wage is about €200/mo , pay no more than 20€ for a 3 hour tour, this is generous.
Restaruants - big scam. Everyone is trying to hustle you into a restaurant. Dinner runs 50€ to 70€ for a bowl of soup, vegtables, more vegtables and a cookie. You are better staying at a nice hotel and getting better food.
The rooms are small, we took the suit and could not move in the room, the bathroom, shower.
