    A little dark. More natural light would be nice. Also it's doesn't feel very private with the rooms having thin windows and doors.

    The old riad style was beautiful. The view was beautiful too. Very good location. And a great breakfast.

    Rooms were small, but the beds were comfy.

    The rooftop breakfast was ample and delicious. Staff was helpful, they arranged taxi from the airport and to the Tanger-Med. The building is gorgeous. The rooms are small, but so is everything in the Medina, there's plenty of lounging space on each floor, plus the lovely rooftop.

    The big inconvenient fact is that the hotel is a very old building and not renovated properly for accommodation purposes. The isolation of the rooms is the worst. You can hear every single noise coming from outside the room and it’s such an unpleasant feeling to hear everything and knowing that you will be also heard and thus the luck of privacy. Furthermore there is no closet or anything suitable to store the clothes. The furniture can have the traditional style and charm but also should serve its purpose.

    Riad Arous Chamel is located in the heart of the old medina of Tanger which is perfect for exploring the city and surrounding areas. The terrace of the rooftop has an amazing view of the medina and the old port! The traditional Moroccan breakfast was amazing! The stuff was very friendly and hospital!

    The bathroom was outside the room, no big deal, but I would still make sure to ask for a room with a bathroom inside. A part from that all perfect.

    The Riad is beautiful and authentic and in a perfect position in the Medina where evrything is walking distance. The terrace is beautiful and breakfast abundant and very good. Owner and Staff super nice. Very good value. Recomended.

    The intimacy of the rooms was a bit poor. The windows give to the internal patio of the Riad, from where all can be seen and heard.

    Lots of the amenities may need perhaps a little closer attention and the stay would be exceptional in time, but sympathetic that the maintenance of a property of this extraordinary magnitude is a labour of love. Blue Room for example needs at least a fan to keep cool, some glasses to drink out of, a bottle opener, a bottle of water each day, a chair to sit on in front of the dresser, the bathroom shower needs at least a temporary shower curtain rail or similar to stop water splashing all over the floor, a steam extractor fan. Generally a regular repair and maintenance spot check for so many things like bathroom door handles, picture frames and the like falling off in the middle of the night, bed heads and mattresses needing to be firmly connected to their base, and most especially; some staircase hand railings to hold on to throughout for those that could (and we often did see) struggle. It could especially be easy to slip off the lower side of the tiled spiral staircase near the bathroom of the Blue room. Also for smokers, the only place to do so is on the roof terrace which is a pretty big hike, and that door is locked at late hours, so an alternative could perhaps be provided? These are just little constructive facilities suggestions that may help support such an extraordinarily beautiful property.

    The property itself is absolutely spectacular in its original, historical interior design, cleanliness and the staff are absolutely impeccable hosts. Breakfast is to die for. For those who want to be in the heart of the Medina, the location is fabulous, and the reliable airport transfer service is great too. Couldn't thank the team enough for hosting us on such a brilliant experience.

    Windows to the hallway were left open after our room was cleaned while we were gone. The air conditioner did not work nor was addressed after we told the manager. The breakfast was good but did not have much variety and I was refused a second glass of orange juice.

    The terrace was really beautiful with an incredible view. The location was in the middle of old town which was very convenient. The staff was excellent.

    We would have liked to purchase cold drinks from a communal fridge or so. Or a small coffee/tea station.

    Super friendly and helpful staff! Good location in the Medina, walking distance from everything. The building is beautiful, one tip for the owner: if he were to swap out the white light bulbs for ambient (warm) light bulbs, it would do the space more justice.
