Dar Nour

Dar Nour, House of Light, is a treasure. If you like a corporate hotel don’t stay here. But if you want a beautiful, magical, delicious experience of true Moroccan hospitality you will love Dar Nour. The people are so nice. The rooms are lovely - comfortable and quirky. The food is fabulous. And very fun to stay in the kasbah (and a quick walk to catch a taxi at the gate). I hope to stay here again someday.

You know when you book a place to stay online and you think "it looks too good to be true"? Darnour was like that for us. We booked, inspired by their great promo video, everyone so happy, the colours so bright, the place so relaxed, clean and bright, and it was such a great price with breakfast included - we really thought it would feel a bit of a let down when we got there. Not so. Darnour is a little slice of heaven. Everything was even better than the photos. The staff really are as happy as they are in the video - all the time! So generous, so kind, so helpful, and really interested in all their guests. We loved our quirky room, with the cute "cave" bathroom underneath, the fascinating books and trinkets scattered around, the rugs and delicious furniture. It's like an emporium of visual treats. We really took it slow in Tangiers, encouraged by the lovely Darnour as a place to drop back to and relax throughout the day. The terraces and lounge are just great places to hang out, not to mention sundowner time when it gets quite lively and their fabulous little restaurant and super tasty food. Darnour will totally make your visit to Tangiers and we would go back in a hearbeat!

We had drinks on the rooftop terrace then dinner! Staff are amazing. So attentive, welcoming & polite. Food was top delicious. Honestly the filet de loup was amazing, crepes so light & flavours just made you stop and appreciate them. Wines, beers, spirits etc also available.

Our family recently stayed at Dar Nour. The hotel is unique and located in a quiet pedestrian “street”. We had a wonderful stay. Our rooms were very nice and the public areas were well appointed. There are myriad staircases adding to the charm. We ate a meal in the restaurant and it was delicious. The rooftop bar is really lovely. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

I loved the location of Dar Nour being st the top of the Medina near the Kasbah. The common areas are really comfortable and the breakfast was serve yourself which was a really nice change from formal sit downs. Roof top is friendly and fun. All the staff went out of their way to say hello, help us with every little thing. Rooms were spotless. Lots of stairs and various corridors to get to rooms so that’s a thing. If stairs aren’t an issue for you, it adds to the charm.

Dar nour was a brilliant hotel . Very central and quiet , was really easy to get to and from places from the hotel and although the little side streets can be confusing all the locals know darnour and would be happy to direct you. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and make you feel wanted like some kind of v.i.p which is appropriate considering the list of celebrities that have stayed here. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and cool in the heat , my wife and I are autistic and usually struggle to sleep outside our own bed but we slept like rocks here very comfortable. The rooftop bar is real treat and the view is breathtaking, I highly recommend the whisky sour , I had ALOT if them. All in all I loved it here and it made my visit to gorgeous tangier all the better . Solid 9/10 would happily stay again and recommend to anyone staying in tangier .

I was very disappointed with my experience at Dar Nour. When we arrived at the rooftop bar, we were told that they only serve alcoholic drinks, and we were basically rejected because we asked for non-alcoholic options. It’s extremely upsetting, especially considering that we are in a Muslim country where many locals don’t drink alcohol. It felt like they favor foreign tourists over Moroccans, which is unacceptable. The staff was not welcoming or kind either. Moroccan visitors deserve the same respect and the right to enjoy the space, regardless of whether they drink alcohol or not. I hope they reconsider their approach and show more hospitality to everyone.

A deeply frustrating visit. I went to this place with high expectations, only to be told that they serve alcoholic drinks only—and was essentially turned away at the door. As a Moroccan, this felt incredibly disrespectful. We’re in a Muslim-majority country where many people choose not to drink, yet it seems this venue is far more interested in serving tourists than welcoming locals. It’s disheartening to be made to feel like a stranger in my own country. I was genuinely excited to check this place out, but they completely soured the experience. I sincerely hope they rethink their policy and start treating Moroccan customers with the respect they deserve.
