Hotel Volubilis Review

This is a decent fallback should you fail to get a room at either of the two hotels above. Built in 1919 by renowned French architect Marius Boyer, this hotel sat derelict through the 1990s until it reopened in 2005, offering modern albeit small rooms for a very reasonable price. The owners kept the original floors in the rooms, but have refurbished the bathrooms with blue and white tiling and new tub/shower combos. Request a room at the rear, as street-facing rooms are too close to the nightclub next door. Thick red carpets line the hallways and help to warm up the hotel (though not the rooms, unfortunately) during the colder months. The reception area received a full makeover and is now resplendent in rough sandstone and Roman statuettes (in keeping with the hotel's namesake near Meknes). A small restaurant opening onto the street serves light meals and a pastry and tea/coffee breakfast. The Volubilis is only a short walk from the restaurant strip along rue Allal ben Abdellah, and there's usually parking right outside. Note: The single rooms here are very small; you'll get better value for your money at the nearby Hotel Maâmoura .

Facilities:
Restaurant; free Internet in lobby (30 min.)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
