Dar Housnia is a good choice for those looking for a traditional house style hotel in a residential area of the medina.
I was a little disappointed as the pictures of the hotel seemed to show a luxurious hotel. In reality Dar Housnia has a rustic feeling. In the bedroom, the rustic ceramic tile floor, the torn rug and the rustic finishing of the walls made me uncomfortable to walk barefoot. It did not help that the slippers in the room might have been white once, but now were grayish.
The breakfast was ok with fruit, fresh orange juice, jams, traditional breads and eggs to order. We also had lunch in the hotel in our last day. We wanted to try the food in the hotel as other guests raved about it. Again, we were a little disappointed as the food was good, but nothing out of the extraordinary (The sardines and the lentil salad were good, but the strawberry desert was uninspiring), considering we had great Moroccan food in many restaurants in and out of the medina.
Communication in english can be difficult. For some reason the manager would always revert to talking in french until we made a confused face. The lunch was a case in point. We ordered the sardines and the chicken and one strawberry and one orange desert. The chicken and the orange desert never arrived.
