Frommer's Review

Opened in 2004 and located on a quiet street minutes away from Guéliz's many restaurants and shops, this pleasant hotel has a modern feel even though the design is essentially traditional. The brick/cement exterior hides a central courtyard-cum-lobby, where zellij and clay tiling are complemented by marble floors and lots of natural light. The rooms are entered through dark, heavy medieval-like wood doors, but inside you'll find pastels, wood beams, clay tiling and zellij, and Moroccan art, carpets, and lamps. The bathrooms are modern, if small, and have shower/tub combos. The suites are similar to the rooms, only larger. One of the two in-house restaurants, Bistro La Saveur, has seating both at the front and rear of the lobby, the latter leading out to a moderate-size pool with a bizarre, fake-rock mini-waterfall. This is the hotel's one failing in design, as the location of the pool affords absolute minimal privacy. The first-floor Moroccan restaurant has traditional music and dancing every Friday night. The staff are numerous and friendly.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; pool; boutique

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.
