We had a very warm welcome from the duty manager Kamal, who went out of his way to be helpful. Staff are attentive, particularly Karim (food and beverages manager), Rabii on reception, and the gentleman who poured the herbal tea every evening. There were a couple of maintenance issues but these were sorted immediately. The room was spacious (junior suite) and the bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of hanging space and shelving. The shower is over the bath, which for someone like me with mobility issues caused a bit of a challenge. Also the towels would have been changed daily (even though we hung them up) until we spoke to Kamal and asked for them not to be changed daily. As others have mentioned, the towels are taken away and not replaced until later in the day. We opted for half board. There is a choice of 2 dishes per 3-course meal and menu was changed every night. Portion sizes are somewhat small but adequate. Price of drinks was on a par or slightly cheaper than in UK restaurants. Breakfast has a fairly wide choice of pastries, omelette, cooked vegetables, cheese, meat, cereals, yogurt, bread and pastries. There is a bureau de change just round the corner, and mini market next door - though the hotel has signs up requesting that no food or drink is brought into the hotel. Despite having mobility issues, we managed to walk to Jemaa el Fnaa and the Koutoubia: the route has lots of seats to rest, and it is flat. Outside the hotel is a walkway separating the 2 carriageways, where pedestrians can walk, though it’s still necessary to cross at intersections (there are marked crossings but caution still needed!). This was a good base for a short break to the city. Taxi to the airport costs 200 MAD or 20 euros.
