I booked this hotel because I knew the area of Corniche in Casablanca is know for it's beautifull surroundings. ||On the internetpage it looked OK. The reception area is clean and ideal for businessmeetings. Receptionstaff, however, is very ignorant, arrogant and not very helpfull.||I was given a room with seaview and the first night was OK. However, the 2nd day I was told I needed to change rooms 'as maintenance needed to repair the water in my bathroom'. It turned out I had to move because a large party of French travellers were assigned to the sea view rooms. No compensation on the fact I had to change rooms pack and unpack. ||The new room was on the street side. It was impossible to sleep the rest of my stay, as the hotel is just at one of the most busiest corners of Boulevard de la Corniche, and traffic is very very noisy 24/7.||||Apart from the fact that the rooms are definately NOT 4 star and in no way look like the rooms on the internet (rooms painted a depressing grey colour) I had, nearly on a daily basis, problems with the key of my room. 9 out of 10 because the batteries of the electronic keycard had run out. Maintenance service was quite pleasant and helpfull, receptionstaff was, on the other hand, very rude and clearly annoyed by the fact I kept on having technical faults in my room. ||||I asked several receptionist for information, such as horseriding, hammam and traintable for Marrakech. All gave me false information, maybe due to total ignorance or just because they weren't bothered. Found out myself that at 5 minutes from the hotel (by taxi) there's a really nice ranch were you can hire horses and gallop on the beach. As for the hammams: better ask a taxi driver instead of reception, most taxidrivers are more helpfull then the hotel reception||||The area of the hotel is quite nice, nice little restaurants, bars and not far from the center (petit taxi would cost you about 20 Dirham at the most...not even 2 Euro's). ||||I can not reccomend hotel de la Corniche in any way, next time I go to Casablanca I will try to book in hotel Azur, which is in the same area but looks much better, and there's hardly any price difference. I spoke with people that stayed in the Azur hotel and appearantly it is...
Read moreI visited Casablanca, Morocco for the first time last week. I booked a 4 night stay at Hotel De La Corniche and was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. The bathrooms were not very clean and smelled like piss. I had to have someone come up and clean it again. There is no safe in the room, no closet (just a little space with a rod to hang clothes but no hangers), the phone in the room did not work and my friend's room had no phone at all, if your room is facing the street you won't get any sleep because it is so noisy day and night. The wifi connection is horrible, constantly cutting off or not working at all. Make sure to ask for a queen bed or you'll get stuck with 2 tiny twin beds, the rooms are also pretty small. And also make sure you get a non smoking room or it will smell like cigarettes. The television had no audio so it was basically useless. My friend asked to change rooms multiple times over a 2 day period, they kept saying they would do it but never did. The website says there is breakfast included, what a joke. The breakfast consisted of hard boiled eggs, soup, stale cake bread, and some sad looking fruit. We went the first day and never went back for the rest of our stay. Also, upon checking into the hotel they took our passports and never gave them back. When I realized I didn't have my passport I went to ask for it and at first the man at the front desk told me he doesn't have it, when I looked down I saw my friend's passport! I repeated that my passport was never returned to me, then he said he only has one passport there and it is not mine but that he would check. He then proceeded to pull my passport out without having to search for it at all! So he knew where it was the whole time! My friend also went down and got their passport as well. I don't know what their deal is or what they were trying to do with our passports but that was very shady and I wouldn't trust them at all! I would never go back to this hotel and I don't recommend it to anyone. There are lots of things around the hotel so location is not bad but also lots of shady characters lurking around too. Go to another hotel, you've...
