Location to pizza hut
The room was untidy, bed was broken, very noisy room as front facing
The location was excellent and it is accessible to the main tourist spots, restaurants , cafés and mall. The staff were friendly and accommodating too. The room is always clean and new towels everyday were provided. Also, the breakfast was good and they serve it on time. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in the hotel, worth the money we paid..
Absolutely rubbish I had to cut my stay because of there were was no help for my sick daughter.
I was very disappointed the staff were not even able to give me a cup or even a glass of hot water.My daughter was ill.Nobody helped Just asked for hot water The room was very back datedThe shower head was broken Did nothing to repair itI will never return again
The room was clean, good bed, good blackout curtains.
AC didn't work and they didn't fix it even after we asked. Pool was closed for whole week and there was no info about it when we booked the hotel. You could hear all the noice from the street to the room. Breakfast was 3/5.
Location
1.Pool? More Like an Empty HoleOne of the reasons we booked this hotel was for the pool, only to arrive and find it completely empty. Not a drop of water. No signs of maintenance or explanation—just a useless, dry hole in the ground.2.Low Water Pressure = No Proper ShowerTaking a shower here is an ordeal. The water pressure was so weak that it was impossible to properly rinse off. It felt like trying to shower under a leaking faucet.3.Scammed by Receptionist The receptionist blatantly overcharged us on the city tax. She said she was exhausted from fasting for Ramadan, which we understood, but that doesn’t excuse what happened. She charged us way more than the listed rate, then acted confused when we pointed it out. Despite we clearly saying it was too much, she just kept pretending she didn’t understand and never corrected her “mistake.” A total scam. To be clear that the remaining receptionists were much nicer and helpful.4.Terrible Breakfast – Stale and RepetitiveBreakfast was the same every single day: dry, stale bread, bad coffee, and tasteless pastries. Zero effort, zero variety, and definitely not fresh. It felt like they were just recycling old food.5.No Outlets in a Triple RoomOur room had three beds but only one visible electrical outlet. In this day and age, that is ridiculous. We had to take turns charging our phones, which made planning our days incredibly inconvenient.6.Ridiculous Food & Drink PolicyThe hotel does not allow guests to bring in any outside food or drinks—not even bottled water! This means you are forced to buy everything from them at ridiculously high prices. A bottle of water cost more than triple what you’d pay at the Medina. It’s an obvious cash grab, and it made our stay even more frustrating.
Friendly staffClean Central location
Fairly simple brekkie
Great location the area felt safe and was a nice walk to medina n exploring area around hotel
Pool was empty and pool area n other outdoor areas were not clean or comfortable to sit out in . Breakfast was very basic
Nice location, short walk into the centre but far enough that it wasn’t very noisy from traffic. Breakfast was nice and staff were helpful. The courtyard restaurant was lovely.
Very loud construction going on, however it was the off season and didn’t really bother us.
Breakfast was buffet style, some good options, the coffee was lively as was the breakfast juice. You can get evening meals there if you don't fancy going out and alcohol served in the bar there. Bed was comfy and a good powerful shower
A basic hotel, no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms
It is one of these no-nonsense hotels that have captured my heart. Everything I could wish for with still a heartwarming level of genuine Moroccan charm and hospitality.I got unexpectedly treated with a free breakfast! Thank you so much for that ❤️
Nothing. The rare noise from the doors in the hall and the traffic in the area are the real Morocco. As a traveller you would like to get close to that .
Passable
80 euro for a night but still have to pay to iron the shirt
Nice location but a little bit noisy at night
The building is quit old
Not that much really. For my needs the position suited a one night stop, and it was relatively cheap.
As soon as I entered there are signs everywhere telling guests the cannot bring food into the hotel, and to a degree, I get that but they also won’t let you bring Water in.Now to a foreign visitor who really needs to drink bottled water this is just bizarre … but you soon realise that you can have bottled water … but only if you buy theirs !! It’s totally ridiculous. You can’t bring in your own snacks or water. I was shown the restaurant when I asked about food , but I decided to eat out. I’m glad I did as when I called in after I returned, it just seemed full of locals and many were smoking. The Bath was all rusty around the plughole, but also, they won’t let you actually have a bath because they don’t give you an actual plug !! … I think it’s to save money on hot water and you mush have a shower. I did pull one over on them though, the free soap fits perfectly in the plug hole with a bit of force .. so I had a bath !! … but the last laugh was on them as the rusty plug hole actually leaks and it flooded the small bathroom and went out into the room so I had to use all my towels to soak it up. On to of all that, I was travelling with a bike (it was clean) with all my belongings on, and they actually wanted me to keep it outside !! … seeing as my room was probably dirtier than my bike, I was not impressed although eventually they did let me keep it in the basement. It was a bit nice convenient stop for one night. But if I had actually booked to stay there for a whole trip / holiday I would have been very disappointed , and from the outside it looks so grand and smart. Much better places available who are more welcoming to guests.
The reception was very friendly. They have a nice bar in the back with a retro artists on the wall. Very stylish decoration in the bar. The room and the hotel was very clean and tidy. I slept very well even though its on a big street.
The room is a little bit old, there was no remote control. Some of the lights where not working next to my bed. The room need to have a upgrade.
