    Location Staff

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Didn’t seem very clean. Location is just alright. It’s a very nice area but I preferred when we stayed closer to the city centre/medina.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Location to pizza hut The room was untidy, bed was broken, very noisy room as front facing

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    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..

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    Nothing 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 dated The shower head was broken Did nothing to repair it I will never return again

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    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 Hole One 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 Shower Taking 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 Repetitive Breakfast 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 Room Our 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 Policy The 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 staff Clean Central location Fairly simple brekkie

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    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

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    Superb

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    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.

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    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

    Poor

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    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 .
