Perfect location! The hospitality from all the staff was exceptional! Book their airport transfer to make arrival easy. It was 30 MAD. Otherwise, a taxi will have to drop you outside the Medina and it will be hard to locate the hotel. Perfect stay in Tangier! Able to walk to all the sights and spend time in charming cafes right outside the hotel. Change money at one of the many places on the street outside the hotel to get a much better rate.

The location is great. The lobby & lounge is groovy although in need of care. My actual room was a dump. Very small space that smelled like moth balls & mold. Everything was stained, worn out, frayed, cracked & crooked. The bathroom was unappealing. Also it was loud. I didn’t sleep at all and left first thing without breakfast.

The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help you. Noisy at night both from inside the hotel, guests, restaurant and live music and outside from street vendors. Decor was very nice and felt you were staying in a piece of history. The morning breakfast was excellent. The hotel is situated right in the middle of the “old” town, you get all walks of life in there.

When our driver from the ferry screwed up they reduced the fee and implemented procedural changes to prevent the mistake in the future. a smart friendly crew all around.

I have stayed here many times and have been very happy.This time, I arrived minutes after the usual check-in time and my room was not ready. I was brought to the dining area, where I was promised welcome tea. After twenty minutes, my tea did not arrive, so I went to the desk and the receptionist told me my room was ready. I asked about my tea, and there was no response. This is a nice hotel and usually the staff is better. At exactly 12:00 noon my phone was ringing to remind me that my stay was over, but where was the initial care of my check-in? I also would avoid room number 2 as it is noisy and has a tiny shower.

4 lovely nights in the Sultan Suite which i highly recommend for size beauty and view to busseling medina with shutters that open. You will not like if noise bothers you...but you can slide heavy glass doors rhat also add sound proofing

The place is a palace in fact the 1st bank in the medina very historical
Decor is authentic.. if you want to feel like you are in Morocco this is it. Staff was happy accomodating and always eager to please. I wiah i used spa...the restarants have great food
Nice breakfast display out every morning. Smells fresh and the daily housekeeping is unheard of it seems in todays hotel stays. Great safe and fast airport transfers.

Loved the welcoming moroccan mint tea upon arrival

The amenties in room are nice...robes slipppers tooth kita combs all branded.. only thing i will say needs upgrades are beds they are hard.. no give

The Palais Zahia is by far the coolest hotel that I have ever stayed at. The hotel staff was amazing and very courteous. The daily breakfast was delicious and there was a wide variety of things to eat. The multiple rooftop terraces were each amazing and unique. my favorite was the highest terrorist with the view to the bay. I could sit there all day and watch the ships come and go from the bay.

It looked like an Arabian Palace inside and it was nicely appointed and decorated. Every single surface inside the hotel from the first floor all the way to the roof is either hand-painted or hand carved or both. Multiple fantastic artworks and colorful and unique vases decorate the space as well. The chandelier was absolutely beautiful. The level of detail extends inside the rooms as well and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also nicely appointed. Every single tile in the hotel from the first floor to the rooftop to the bathroom to the hallway bathroom to anything you can think of were real high quality tile. It had a nice and smooth texture to the tile that I can't describe and they shine to them that was always beautiful in every kind of light. Even hallway bathrooms were nicely appointed. There's not enough words I can say to describe how beautiful this place is. I wouldn't even consider going to any other place in Tangier except this hotel. It's location in the Medina was also very convenient for shopping and dining and for the ambiance. I'm 100% satisfied!!!

Amazing historical building.

Such a wonderful place at entrance of the the Medina of Tangier. A former bank building from 1907 transferred in the early 2000s to a hotel. After traveling for almost 3 weeks all over Morocco we had our last two nights in this historic place. Great service, excellent breakfast buffet, nicely decorated rooms. Very detail orientated decor of the hotel. The only shortcoming was the noise coming from the street at night. We had a balcony room, facing the street, lovely during daytime and in the evenings, but a bit noisy at night. Not the fault of the hotel, but if you have a light sleep you might want to ask a room facing not the street.

This is a very beautiful and thoughtfully decorated hotel in an historic riad in the old city. There is a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of the city and of the sea; an elegant dining room in the lobby where I had a very good dinner. The rooms vary in size, so depending on your priorities you might want to inquire about available options. My room was spacious with a balcony facing the street and it was beautifully decorated.

The staff were incredibly helpful, even arranging a hotel transfer for a 3 a.m. airport run – a level of service that didn’t go unnoticed. The only downside was that the spa was fully booked for the entire day, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, a comfortable and well-run hotel with great service and fantastic views. I’d definitely stay again.

We needed to take a shower, so we asked them for another room. After asking for a solution/remedy multiple times they gave us another room - but it was super tiny.
So not only did we have the inconvenience of dealing with the issues, then we had to pack & move to another room; and we were moved to a smaller room after having paid for the suite - and nothing was taken off the bill.

Disappointing Stay with a Silver Lining

I recently stayed at Palais Zahia in Tangier, Morocco, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. While the hotel's central location near the port was convenient, the quality of the accommodations left much to be desired.

Upon arrival, I was assigned a room with mold growing along the walls of the bathroom. After requesting a change, I was moved to another room. Though this room did not have visible mold, it smelled very musty and was extremely humid, making it uncomfortable to stay in. Another couple was placed in my initial room, instead of the issue being addressed, and also complained.

The saving grace of my stay was the dining experience. The food, served on the terrace, was delightful. I particularly enjoyed the chicken Pastilla, and the ambiance was enhanced by the vibrant dancing and music in the square.

Despite the enjoyable meal, the overall experience at Palais Zahia was marred by the poor room conditions. I hope the management addresses these issues promptly to improve the experience for future guests.

We booked 2 rooms for 2 nights non refundable and left after the first night. Though the hotel is a nice riad with attentive wait staff the noise at night is unbearable. Other reviews said it quieted down by 11pm. We found it too noisy to sleep until after 2am. And then their call to worship began between 4-5am and felt like it was in my room. It does quiet down in the morning so I caught another hour before our 9am tour. Yes, they still charged me the taxes on departure for the second night we didn't stay.

Their \"free\" tour of the city. Sure, take it, but by all means do NOT go with them for any shopping. Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe it. It was a complete sham. Besides, you are better off buying things out of this city. Pushy and extremely rude shop owners and your \"guide\" helps them along. We enjoyed our day spent outside of the city so much more.

So, if you must stay in Tangier (not recommended) at least stay in the modern area so you can get sleep.

Dear Palais Zahia Team,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the unique and unforgettable experience we had during our stay at Palais Zahia in Tangier.
From the very first step into your enchanting riad, we were captivated by its timeless charm and the seamless blend of modern amenities with Moroccan tradition. The central location within Tangier’s medina allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
Here are a few highlights that made our stay truly exceptional:
Warm Hospitality: Your team’s kindness and attentiveness made us feel like honored guests, your dedication did not go unnoticed.
Comfort and Beauty: The rooms at Palais Zahia are not just comfortable; they are a sanctuary. The comfortable beds, soothing showers, and elegant decor provided a haven after our explorations.
Clear Communication: The seamless communication via email and WhatsApp during our planning phase was truly appreciated. It made our travel arrangements smoother.
Evening Call to Prayer: Listening to the evening call to prayer from your riad’s terrace remains one of our favorite moments from the trip. It felt like a spiritual connection to Tangier.
In summary, Palais Zahia is not just a place to stay; it’s an oasis of beauty, tradition and cultural richness. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will stay with us forever.

Stay here when you’re in Tangier

Wonderful ambiance, rooms, food and service. Perfect for our family’s first trip to Morocco.

Big Safety Issue

Hotel contacted our taxi driver they’ll send someone to parking lot to help carrying our two luggages. Upon arrival we saw 2 men waiting one with uniform one without. One each took one luggage then strolled away side by side. Soon we lost sight of them then suddenly the one without uniform showed up and asked for tips bluntly. I offered him 20 Durham, he refused demanding paper money as he saw my wife has them in her wallet. We said we have 100 left what would be enough? he quickly grabbed that 100 without our consent and ran away.
We reported this incident to hotel and suggested to call police. The answer was they don’t know that person and sorry what had happened.
100 might not be a big amount but hotel staff allowing stranger to carry their customers’ luggage it is a Big No No. the imposter could’ve taken our luggage then walked away with it, with hotel staff knowing he’s the only one to pick us up.
Big safety issue.

Gorgeous room- so pretty but everything is made to be more decorative than practical. The beautiful blinds didn’t shut right, so they clinked against the window every time there was any wind. The huge pretty and spacious bathroom had a shower that always over-flooded since it doesn’t drain right. The room key is an ACTUAL decorative ornate key which is a nice touch but you have to use it when you leave and come back since there is no auto lock and it’s a finicky door. Can just imagine how much they charge you if you lose it. The AC worked fine. But don’t trust the numbers since there’s no way that 25C was actually 25C in the room- much colder.
The location is amazing - right in the middle of everything you ever want to see in tangier, but you pay a very heavy price if you are a light sleeper- it is by far the noisiest hotel we’ve stayed at, and the party outside your window doesn’t stop until well into 4AM.. dogs, kids, friends, cats, etc- they are all there seemingly screaming right where you are trying to sleep. We were on the second floor- maybe the other floors are better. The view, though is gorgeous- charming city view which looks very European.
Breakfast area is sooo pretty- fireplace, and fountain, tons of comfy seats. Selection was ok. Basic stuff. Orange juice and lime juice freshly squeezed. Had beet juice one day and it’s ok if you really love sweet beets. Didn’t get a chance to go to the rooftop but the other reviews and pics show it’s worth the view.

This is a medium-sized Riad style hotel. It is very well situated just inside the Tangier Medina and there is an excellent view of the harbour and Tangier hills from the military ramparts at the bottom of the street.
Taxis must let you off at the Medina gate and there is about a 50-yard uphill walk to the hotel. Tourists with luggage are a magnet for local youngsters who make money latching on to those who show any hesitation in their route. For this hotel it would be useful to have some low denomination notes for them because the location and even the entrance of the hotel is not obvious from the street.
The hotel staff were welcoming. Our rooms were generic, but clean and comfortable. The style of the hotel funnels ground floor activity sounds in the atrium up to the rooms. It is moderately noisy in the evening, but quiet after 11. The morning breakfast buffet is Moroccan style and excellent.
The staff were very good at arranging tours. We did a private car tour of the coast and a walking tour of the Medina. Both were with excellent guides and the ability to charge them to the room was convenient.
This is a good place to stay for an introduction to Tangier and we were very satisfied with our stay

The staff is wonderful, very attentive. Ask for Lina Amrani for any tours, she's awesome and very nice. The breakfast is very good. We found the bed comfortable and we had a balcony over the Medina (room 18) which was very cool.

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Palais Zahia. The hotel is situated right in the Medina and very conveniently located to explore the Medina and the Kasbah. The ferry terminal is also a short walk away. The hotel offered us complimentary tea on arrival and the room was nice and comfortable. The hotel arranged transfer to and from the Ferry terminal and then to Chefchaouen at a reasonable rate.
Staff was wonderful specially Mohammad and The manager, Sukaina.
The dinner at the hotel restaurant was great too.
