I couldn't help but irked that there are only negative reviews for this gem of a budget hotel (in a town where not many foreigners are staying). Kasaba Senhaji, where I spent a night, and its proprietor (a friendly young woman with glasses who speaks mixed English-French) are actually real gem.||||First, every parts of the hotel are spanking clean, a rarity among Moroccan budget hotels where generally there would be a little (albeit acceptable) stain on something. The owners must have paid very good attention to details here. There's even the only "bum gun" I've seen in Morocco, probably a rarity in this part of the world (and a real treat for me as someone from Bangkok, the bum gun capital city of the world). ||||Contrary to what the other reviewer stated, the proprietor had managed to calculate the price I paid through the online converter app, which is 167 Moroccan Dirham (converted from 15 Euro quoted on booking.com).

There is free WiFi available at the hotel.
Three stars for the quality and food and views, would have been five if not for the charlatan personality...

We received a warm welcome and offered traditional mint tea. Our room was satisfactory, but the place was generally very cluttered.||||Unfortunately I caught a dose of the local version of Dehli belly, whether or not it was the result of eating something here I dont know. The food we ate was very good.||||We had to stay an additional night because of my illness. They were very understanding and helpful.||||Would I stay here again? Probably not, but you...
