The shower pooled and did not drain efficiently.
Hotel is ideally located. Its close to the Medina and city center. 15 minute walk either way. Beautiful panoramic view of the promenade and ocean. Staff efficient and helpfull. Friendliness like the rest of the city is a standard feature. We had a sea facing double room. Refreshments were replenished daily. apart from Bottled water which we recieved complimentary on our arrival day.Room was spacious and contemporary. My Wifi was abit troublesome with connection issues, others didnt have problems so perhaps my device had the jiggs however when it connected speeds were fast. Bathroom stocked with bath robes, slippers and all essential soaps lotions and even a dental pack. Downside is our shower did pool and not drain well.Did not take breakfast as we wanted to enjoy the street restaurants. Lots of food places around the area. Amazing pool. Gym has sufficient equipment. Lifts were a tad cramped but who cares we dont sleep in them. If i return to Tangier id stay here again.

They called us a taxi to go airport. The car was almost falling apart and the driver ripped us off charging us 200 dirhams. The staff really should check for more reputable taxi drivers.
Great facilities and location.

We are a family of 3 young children when i booked i ve specifically requested the rooms to be next to each other but when i arrived i found out that it was not the case but the girls behind the desk did their best to help. On this occasion i didn t put an official complain my kids are very young and and we had to sleep in one room (528) While the other room (511).was left empty and we only used for showers. But even with this incident i will book it in future(inchaalah) As long as it doesn t happen again. Thank you all from doormen,waitresses at breakfast reception desk and room attendants . We were satisfied and happy with everything. Thanks again. SImo Ouzbara &family
Over all the hotel was very nice,very clean very spacious Nice staff friendly and helpfull and the location was top as we came by boat from spain it took us less than 15 minutes from the port to the hotel. I will definetly book it again. Simo ouzbara & family
