Wonderful staff providing excellent service, with a friendly and helpful approach. Great breakfast with both international and national touch. Clean and overall great interior. Great location, though only car service used by hotel was allowed inside the walls of the ’old city center’ - here again the hotel staff immediately helpful by providing info and booking of above service.

This hotel is in a great location in the Messina. It’s a true character hotel and fits in with the local setting perfectly. It is an old building and while I’m confident the room and bathroom were cleaned properly, it has a feeling of being old and not so clean. But we chose this location and hotel wanting to have a great local experience (versus the typical chain of standard hotels). The room is actually beautiful with original designs typical of the era.

The breakfast was included and was very good especially if you enjoy authentic Moroccan food and flavors.

Because of the central location, the outside activity (a lot of it) can be heard in the room late into the evening.

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.

Absolute perfection that will ruin all other riads for you: beautiful decor, attentive friendly staff, excellent breakfast and truly palatial accommodations. I only wish we had spent more time here. we had the Sultan suite and I could have just stayed in our room and been satisfied. Look no further, book this now. Excellent medina location. 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.

Place is great. If you’re looking for a convenient spot to walk around the city then this is your place. Breakfast was good but good use cards to know what the food is! Other than that, staff was great and hotel is gorgeous. Felt “authentic”. I would note outside the hotel is very bustling and in the center of everything.

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

Stay here in Tangier if youbwant an authentic safe cozy and warming stay

Very authentic beautiful space. Nice onsite restaurant and rooftop bar to start your Tangier experience. Room with street balcony was worth it—good local sounds from streets. Bed was nice and comfy. Only downside is the bathroom- a bit dated but overall clean. Nicer newer towels would really improve the experience:) Love the local location!! It was great walking thru the rustle and bustle of the market then wandering into the small peaceful neighborhoods.

The location is very easy to be found, the service is high end, but you need to prep some ear plugs as the Medina is loud at late night like any other Medina.

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. Staff are all super-friendly. Overall great stay.

We were treated wonderfully by all of the staff. They had a taxi waiting at the dock which made it so easy to get there. It was fun seeing how the hotel had been transformed from the prior business. If you want to experience a different culture, this hotel makes it easy, you are right in the middle of Tangier. If you want to go to have a good nights sleep, well, things go into the night! Lina gave us a wonderful tour that helped us learn of their culture as well as the beautiful area and shopping in Tangier.

Short and sweet stay.

From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was excellent. I was greeted with complimentary tea and biscuits, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch after a long journey. The views from the top floors were absolutely stunning and added something really special to the stay.

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.

Plus room number 4 is quite noisy. I would choose another for sure.

great location, center of the hustle & bustle. Beautiful Riad and room was gorgeous. Service personnel were very friendly. Uncovered issues with with multiple plumbing problems - shower drain was clogged; toilet had issues - and I was told, sorry, the Technician (plumber) is gone for the evening. 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.

Palais Zahia had a hammam which we used for a scrub & a massage it was excellent. The property is easily located & in front of a busy street. Our room was front facing & the bustle of the streets during the day made for fun photos and videos but it continued into the night so if you’re a light sleeper, make sure you get a back facing room. The food here was also amazing, the lamb mrouzia was one of our best meals. I would easily come back here to stay & this time have some drinks on the patio above which is great for people watching. The staff were incredibly kind & friendly & helpful.

Lovely place in the heart of the old town/medina. We also booked the driver to pick us up from Tangier Med (which is much further than the port/marina in Tangier itself and it was great and the driver really good and friendly but just be aware of the distance). Staff amazing, helpful and friendly and the restaurant lovely. When we arrived, we sat in a lovely little seating area and were given tea.

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.

Everything about this hotel is stellar--the building's beautiful architecture and unique spaces, the Moroccan ornamentation everywhere, the condition of the rooms, and the various restaurant choices (some of the best Moroccan cuisine I've had).
The friendly and helpful management and reception staff stand out in particular. The cooks, restaurant servers, and room cleaners also contribute to the excellent experience.

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.
