Hotel review

Dar is an Arabic word for a town house in which a series of apartments are grouped around a central courtyard and that is exactly what you get at Dar Cilla with a lovely roof terrace for sunbathing or enjoying an evening drink as well. Decorated in local Spanish/North African style, the apartments are all different and have their own entrances and stairways to the roof terrace. They sleep between two and four people. Dar Cilla has no restaurant but is within walking distance of shops and restaurants and essentials such as tea, coffee, oil and vinegar are provided. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area and can arrange hiccup-free day trips to Tangier. It is a sociable place but bringing friends back for late-night drinks is discouraged.
