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.

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.

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.
