helpful staff henna artist
The staff was very kind and helpful (especially Adil, Brahim, and Elhoussain). They arranged for a henna artist to come to the hotel for us. They also gave us advice on what to see and arranged car service to our next destination. The roof terrace was a beautiful spot for breakfast.
The immediate area around the hotel is not particularly nice. I found the dark alley leading to the hotel a bit concerning at night.

The staff gave advice about local places to visit and restaurants.
I booked a beautiful room but it disappointed me. The upstairs area had a tiny window so it felt claustrophobic. The shower was run down and the bathrobes were tattered. I found a hair in the fruit salad. It was just GROSS!!!
