Located at the far end of Avenue Mokhtar Soussi in Tafraout, Morocco, this hotel has spectacular views of the Anti-Atlas mountains that surround this mountain town.
There is a pleasant outdoor covered terrace and a large reception area, a Schindler elevator, bar, and restaurant. Rare in Tafraout, wine and beers, and cocktails are available at Hotel Saint Antoine.
Outside, its beautiful green gardens have multi-colored bougainvillea, shrubs and palm trees surrounding a large, clean swimming pool with the shallow side reserved for children.
It is very quiet in this area of Tafraout, away from the shops and center, but easy to walk to.
The rooms are all air-conditioned, with comfortable beds, pillows and mattresses, and cushioned sitting chairs facing a table. The front-facing rooms have the best mountain views. The baths have tubs, sinks, and plenty of hot water, along with towels, soap and shampoo.
A bonus is a mini refrigerator for keeping drinks cold, and a flat-screen television that has good reception of many European channels, some English channels, and Moroccan and Arabic channels.
If you want a comfortable hotel in Tafraoute, this is one of the best. A free breakfast is served each morning.
Credit and debit cards are accepted. The young receptionist understands and speaks excellent English and other languages.
Parking is available directly in front of the hotel. Directly next to the hotel on the left is a Bank of Africa (BMCE Group) with...
Read moreWe stayed at Saint-Antoine in November 2006 soon after it first opened and I wrote the first review (now closed) of it on TA. We stayed again this year in January and although the the hotel is still in basic good order we found the experience very different..In my other review I had pointed out the restaurant as being very good quality however this time it was closed, though they did offer to go and get a chef which would take about an hour. We would not be able to eat in the first floor restaurant but in the reception area where there we just a few people (off duty staff and friends) playing loud music, computer games and watching TV. Despite the duty manager being very personable and helpful the atmosphere was not very pleasant; loud tinny repetitive music in one ear and TV in the other. At 400 Dhs, the cost was surprisingly only 10Dhs more than we paid in 2006. We ended up going to eat at the restaurant at the Hotel Salama which was good and cheaper than it would have been for the same meal in S-A. It would have been cheaper too to stay at the Salama at 250 Dhs, but it is now probably the most popular hotel in Tafarout and the only rooms available when we enquired were small ones at the back which, though well appointed and clean, look gloomy and have a very dismal view. The ones on the front seem to be favoured as they look out into the lively part...
Read moreWe had to stay in this village for 1 night and after reading the reviews from all the hotels we decided on this one.||The room is big but terribly dated and cheaply decorated, there is no atmosphere at all. Thin and partly damaged curtains.||Our room had hardly views. Pool big but with local men in it, so not attractive to use for foreign ladies. No pool side furniture.||Restaurant and unattractive bar where one finds only many local men. Beer is available.||The restaurant was closed in mid september.||We had wifi during the evening, but it was switched of in the morning.||Ac worked.||The bed sheets are not cotton and the pillow covers are made from 100% polyester.||For the first time in Morocco were we approached a few times by persistent young lads on bikes who wanted to show us things/shops.||||South of Tafraoute (5 car minutes) at the R107 one can find an area with massive round bolders which we have only seen in Bullawayo Zimbabwe. Stunning.||||Very recommendable is a restaurant/coffee shop with terrace and comfy rattan ||chairs, just outside the town centre , on the north side. Nothing fancy, but the terrace is ||appealing. We had breakfast there with warm fresh crepes/pancakes and good coffee.||Name is Tifaouine.||||||||||||||||||||||||We have stayed in many hotels in Morocco, also for the same price, this one...
