An honest review of our recent stay. First look, we were disappointed as hotel is way dated , built in 1870 and seems nothing much changed since then. There are pluses and minuses ,here are few in our opinion:
Pros :
- Right at the edge of the port and close to main road, near old madina and Kasbah.
- Kasbah museum is not more than 5 mins walk. Old Madina 10 mins.
- Open top tour bus starts and ends right in front of hotel
- Excellent staff , they work really hard to keep hotel clean and immaculate
- Our room was spacious with a window looking over sea and streets.
- Beautiful work on wall and ceiling, craftsmanship on display on every corner of this hotel.
- There are two rooms in lobby with old dated seating, I find it fascinating.
- Hotel terrace overlooking port , on a clear day you can see Spanish coastal line.
- Our room has an air conditioner , not the best but it was working and keep our room cool in hot weather.
- Delicious breakfast
- Free toiletries
Cons:
- .There is no road access to hotel. Taxi will drop you at the edge of the hotel on main road. you have to walk all the way up to the reception.
-Stairs , and too many of them Hotel has no lift , each floor has roughly 24 steps. If you are on 3rd floor like us , you will be climbing 72 steps each time.
- no room service
- dated wardrobe , we didn’t use them. They were actually were falling apart
- no kettle and iron in room
- tv never worked
- no lamp in room
