Fantastic Location and Helpful Staff

superb locationfriendly staffbreakfast viewstreet noise
The location was superb, very close to Koutoubia Mosque and Jemaa el-Fna Square. The staff was friendly and polite, they provided great service. I enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace a lot. It had amazing views of the Mosque.
The noise from the street was noticeable because the windows are single-paned, making it hard to sleep some nights.

Excellent Location, Helpful Staff

helpful staffconvenient locationpersistent odor
The location is really good, near main attractions. The staff, particularly Talib, provided really good service. He arranged dinner and a show with transport, very helpful. Mouhidime also assisted with luggage storage and did a very good job.
The initial room had a noticeable cigarette smoke smell. I switched rooms, but the replacement had a worse bathroom odor. It was late and raining, so I did not want to change hotels.

Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace. The breakfast includes bread and ham with coffee, acceptable. I had no issues with its provision. A greater selection of fruit could greatly improve the variety.

Barely Acceptable Stay

close locationshower curtainconstant noise
The location was acceptable since it was close to many attractions.
I did not enjoy my time at this hotel. The room looked pretty old, and the shower only had a curtain that resulted with the entire bathroom floor getting wet. The noise was terrible. Music blasted until late hours, and sounds echoed throughout the stone hallways.
