Hotel La Kasbah

“Good location”

Set in a stunning countryside location. Comfortable room, good buffet breakfast, evening meal choices varied. Many small shops around the hotel selling souvenirs and food. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the front. Swimming pool area. Close to the walk up to the old kasbah.

“Character hotel with excellent restaurant”

We stayed here for one night as part of an organised tour. La Kasbah is a character hotel and restaurant complex, generally good. Only minor gripe was only 1 power socket. Dinner at hotel was very good, nice atmosphere and good value.

“Location ideal to access UNESCO site”

One night stay during group tour. I also stayed here during similar tour in 2014. Well located to visit UNSCO site, simple stroll down a lane. Atmospheric .All heavy wood doors. No lift. I changed rooms My room had windows(which were wide open on arrival ) opened out onto an enclosed yard with high wall surround. Minimal natural light ,low wattage lamps meant I could not see properly in the gloom.! Felt like medieval gaol! Also dirty toilet paper in bin. Replacement room overlooked rear(west) .Much better natural light and electric lights afforded batter visibility. Bath with shower over. Lots of clean spare blankets and good duvet. Nice firm mattress. Heating worked . Good WiFi. Opted for evening meal in restaurant, which is located over the road (below the terrace),.Reasonable food ,I just had what is described as a "starter" .Roof terrace with view too cold in December! Breakfast served in pool area, with big space heater full on , again opposite over the lane. Unremarkable except for some hot, fresh, square doughnut type things ,which if eaten with honey were superb. Pool area offers good views ,good size pool but one has to cross over the lane to use it ,not as appealing as a pool within a hotel's private grounds, but not applicable in December.

“Characterful”

Characterful rooms and corridor. Our room was a good size and was on the front with a small balcony. The view was over a large courtyard and to the countryside beyond, reminded me of the Wild West ( in a good way). Bathroom was small and old fashioned, no TV in room. Balcony door did not lock.

Characterful rooms and corridor. Our room was a good size and was on the front with a small balcony. The view was over a large courtyard and to the countryside beyond, reminded me of the Wild West ( in a good way). Bathroom was small and old fashioned, no TV in room. Balcony door did not lock. Bed was hard. WiFi was very good in our room (but transmitter just outside) others in group said it was a bit patchy. For dining they use a close by restaurant. This served the same boring three course menu that we had had for lunch and dinner for several days. Likewise the pool which looked nice was across the lane. This is where the restaurant served us breakfast. Decent continental breakfast.

“Simple with some charm”

We stayed here for 1 night as part of our tour. Please be aware that there are no lifts and therefore you would need to carry your own suitcases up the flight of stairs if no porter is around.

We stayed here for 1 night as part of our tour. Please be aware that there are no lifts and therefore you would need to carry your own suitcases up the flight of stairs if no porter is around. From memory it was about 20 steps to go up from the lobby to get to the first floor. Although the porters were present to assist in most instances. Our room was ok, it definitely had the old Moroccan charm but was a little spartan. The bathroom had a basin/toilet/shower – all very clean but the water pressure wasn’t great. Our room also had a balcony which had a table and 2 chairs looking out over the hotel entrance and parking area. The location is very good as it is situated near the famous fortress of Ait Ben Haddou. Although it is not a big town so this may apply to most of the hotels in this area. There are a few souvenir/jewellery/rug and clothes shops located in the alley ways next to the hotel. Breakfast and dinner was part of our stay and is provided in a restaurant across a small alley. The restaurant was clean and the food was OK, bit limited. There were excellent views from the restaurant roof where Breakfast was served - but again a bit limited in the breakfast offerings The WiFi had good reception and I cant recall any issues with the air conditioning. Overall the hotel wasn’t bad, but wasn’t spectacular. I would recommend staying here as a good value option and for the closeness of the fortress.
