Medina riad rated 8.4 on Booking.com, in the lanes below the Kasbah.
Riad Dar Chams Tanja is an upscale medina riad in the lanes below the Kasbah in Tangier, northern Morocco, rated 8.4 on Booking.com. The listing gives the address as Tangier Medina without a street, so guests should ask the riad for exact directions and the nearest gate for luggage pick-up. The Kasbah and its museum are uphill, while the Petit Socco and the Grand Socco are within walking distance, and the port and ferry terminal lie a short distance below the old town.
The house follows the traditional riad pattern of rooms arranged around an inner space, with Moroccan tilework, carved wood and textiles, and is positioned in the upper-range category of medina guesthouses. Room types listed are Double or Twin Rooms and Suites, and listed amenities are Wi-Fi and a terrace. Information about room counts and interiors is limited, so guests should expect an atmospheric, traditional stay rather than a resort.
No restaurant is listed, so breakfast, if included, is likely served in the house or on the terrace. The medina and Kasbah have many cafes, tagine restaurants, fish grills and pastry shops within a few minutes' walk, and the Ville Nouvelle offers more choice a short taxi ride away.
No pool, spa or fitness facilities are listed. The principal appeal is the location in the historic quarter, with its markets, mosques and lanes close at hand, and the terrace provides a quiet place to relax and look over the rooftops. The riad suits couples and travellers who want an authentic stay inside the old town and who are comfortable with narrow, sloping lanes.
Service is personal, as in most small riads, with the host or staff typically able to help with luggage, directions, taxis and day trips to Cap Spartel, the Caves of Hercules, Asilah and Chefchaouen. Rates are in the upscale range, typically about MAD 1,000 to MAD 1,700 per night depending on season and room type, and the 8.4 Booking.com rating indicates generally positive guest feedback.
