The rooms with sea views are fabulous! They have balconies and are bright, airy and spacious. The facilities are dated but have an old world elegance and character. The staff is responsive and professional.

As Morocco gets ready for the Word Cup, there is constant construction going on which makes many places including the Gardenia very noisy. I stayed on the second (above the ground floor) floor and in the early evening sounds of a football match and sometimes disco music came wafting up to my room but it stopped pretty early. The area around the hotel like much of downtown Tangier can be a bit seedy, especially in the evening but this is true of many neighborhoods in this port town. The bathtub was not really usable for a bath because it was in desperate need of re-enameling but it was perfectly fine for a shower.

Hotel Gardenia is a relic from the past and feels like an old movie theatre from the lobby/entrance. The hallways are a glowing apricot color and the lobby has an entire mirror covered wall with a dramatic curved staircase leading up to the rooms. It is situated just off the main boulevard on a pedestrian only street and the facade has seen better days. The old name "Lutecia" can be found on the outside of the building but the new name "Gardenia" is hard to spot. My room faced the port and had a stunning view which changed from day to night. The bathroom was huge and filled with sunlight in the afternoon. The front desk man, Mehdi, was always smiling and helpful and made my stay a pleasant one.

Missing amenities: Had to ask for towels, there was very little shower gel and Wifi doesn’t work correctly Mold stain in the bathroom

Location: Great spot on a lively, safe street, 10 minutes walk from the Medina and Grand Socco Square. Staff: Staff is very welcoming, kind, and helpful. We were given a sea-view room, even though it wasn’t planned. Cleanliness: Room and bathroom were clean, though there were some stains in the bathroom

OK, maybe the place needs a renovation but if someone does not need the latest trends it will be fine. There is noise from the street happening regularly in the middle of the night as the rubbish gets picked up about 3-4am - earplugs suggested

Great location, super-friendly staff, big, spacious room and unexpectedly got a room with a sea/port-view

It can get very noisy outside and you'll hear it from your room as it's a very dated hotel.

Great view of the sea if you're facing the back and the rooms are spacious! The staff are really friendly and always ready to help!

Great location and amazing view

The whole hotel has seen better days. A full refurbishment is required but that would put up the price. You get what you pay for.

The location was good and Mahdi was a superb host. The views across the port were excellent and the room was a good size.

The hotel offered me a seaview room with balcony. The seaview of Tangier is fantastic and I could see the sunrise on the balcony in September. Two days is not very enough to relax in Tangier. It's clean, sufficient warm shower and have a bathtub, although the building is a bit old. No air-conditioning but never felt hot that the breeze from the sea is good enough and natural. The front desk staff is nice. The hotel is located near Boulevard Pasteur where a busy main road in the city with wide variety of shops and restaurants. The room doesn't facing to the road that avoid much noise, but the 'adhan' from the nearby mosques is a bit loud sometimes. It's about 20 minutes walking distance to Port de Tanger Ville with ferries to Spain, but I recommend to take a taxi if you carry a lot of luggage where Boulevard Pasteur and Rue du prince Moulay Abdellah is a bit uphill from the waterfront or the train station.

It was very old school europian looking hotel from last century with amazing location, staff and wibe

Stayed in April 2023

the shower stall had lots of noticeable mold and the wood around the frame at the base was completely rotted out. with a little attention the place would be much more presentable.

e were upgraded to a balcony view of the ocean and it was absolutely divine! The smells, the breeze that came through, the sunrise! It was so amazing!

I don't mind but some might think it's a bit shabby. It's an old building.

Lively location, friendly and helpful guy on reception. View from window of seafront and port. Bed was comfortable and I slept well.
