I had a wonderful stay at Dar Crystal. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the Bahia Palace and not too far from the hustle and bustle of Jamaa el Fna. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. That said, the courtyard noises were a bit noticeable in my ground floor room, and the bed was quite firm for my taste.
