Stayed a night. Pros: Location. Two blocks or so from the Marche Central tramway stop (which is a few stops from Casa Voyageur train station). And it's nice that the UN square where people hang-out in the afternoon is just around the corner. Near the Old Medina, too. Polite staff. And helpful too, I ask if they could send a msg to my hotel in Marrakech and they called them. Good internet. Filling breakfast at the cozy restaurant next door. Hot shower. Heat and cool AC. Big and clean room. (Bathroom seems outdated.) Soft bed. I feel safe in and around the area, though I didn't went out at night. The bathtub must be nice to soak in at night but I'm exhausted from flight to do it.
Note: Airport pick-up is 300mad.
Personal Con: the female at reception pointed me to the Mohammed V tramway stop which I think is farther, I believe she was a bit pissed when I was clarifying my change (I paid in Euro and she gave me MAD in change. Maybe my bad bec I thought it should also be in Euro). The shower faucets are somewhat comical as I can't turn on the shower without turning on the...
Read moreWe stayed here for one night at the start of an Intrepid tour of Morocco, having previously spent 2 nights in another (better) hotel in Casablanca.||This hotel is old, dark and cold. Our room did not come with a hand towel or bath mat, which I had to make a trip to reception to ask for.||There was a bath in our room but no plug so I was unable to have a bath. The shower is very open so I felt cold even when I was under the hot water. It was difficult to adjust the taps in the shower to get the right temperature.||No tea or coffee making facilities were provided.||The hotel is located near the Medina but in a part of the city where lots of tourist hotels are located which means that there are a lot of touts and some beggars around.||I appreciate that standards in Morocco may not be as high as in Australia or Europe but we did spend the previous 2 nights in a very comfortable, modern hotel in a better part of the city - which was not expensive. If you are considering staying here I would check around to see if I could find better...
Read moreGood location - Casa port train station is a few minutes walk away. The medina (old city) is across the road, which has lots of souvenir shops. There is a currency exchange shop next door and several restaurants and cafes in the air.
Hotel staff are very eager to help and offer good advice.
The suites are great value for money. Very large rooms and the furniture (material sofas, not the leather ones!) is comfortable to sit on.
Bathrooms and the room decor do look a bit dated and the towels/bedsheets do need to be changed (one of my towels was yellowing in colour).
Breakfast is average, despite having several choices on the menu.
Overall, I'd recommend this hotel to couples, families and solo travellers. The area is safe, rooms are comfortable (get a suite!) and quiet, great location for tourism/business and the staff are wonderful.
