The Mecure hotel is currently undergoing renovations but this did not affect the quality of service we received during stay. All staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The room was smart and comfortable, all newly decorated. We had gone to support a family member who was having an operation and so chose the Mecure for its proximity to the hospital, but the hotel also made for an excellent base from which to visit the sights of Rabat.

Location was good but transport links were poor. Hotel had construction work going on in the rooms above which started just after 9am till 6pm so we had no choice but to leave the hotel for peace and quiet. The hotel staff showed no remorse for ruining our holiday and as a result I would recommend you stay well away.

This was overall a nice hotel. The breakfast buffet was great, with a good variety of pastries, fruits, and Moroccan specialties, including custom made omelets.
The room itself was small, The two single beds were jammed up against each other (no separation) because there just wasn't room. The closet was in an awkward position, the AC was weak, not getting cold even when "set" to 15 degrees (Centegrade). The refrigerator barely cooled at all.
Staff was friendly, and English was fine.

Hotel is OK. Check-in staff was rather aloof, but got the job done. Breakfast was OK - nothing to write home about. Room was clean and comfortable and bathroom was very good. Hint... for whatever reasons, petit taxis refuse to take you from the train station to that part of town (which is actually a very nice residential area)... so, from the train station, take the tram towards Sale, and alight at the second stop. From there, it is a five minute walk. From the hotel, the old city can be reached by foot in about 15 to 20 minutes. Bottom line: Would I stay here again? I would not be opposed to it.

A reviewer

Friendly staff, good breakfast

This is a good place to stay in Rabat: the hotel is pleasant, staff are friendly, rooms are clean, and our room at least had none of the signs of poor maintenance that you can find even in hotels of higher categories in Morocco (cracked tiles, paintwork worn or badly repainted...)
Breakfast was very good, with a wide range of choice that compares well with other hotels of similar category.
The one drawback was the small size of the room. There is just about space to move around the bed. There is a desk, but it is so close to the end of the bed that there is no room to sit at it.
The hotel does not have its own parking, but it was easy enough finding a parking space in the street. The booking confirmation implied that the parking fee would paid to the hotel, but that is not the case: there is a "gardien" in the street, and you pay him.

Definitely a place to avoid

I wanted to try the Mercure Hotel in Rabat as I have had other excellent stays in Mercure hotels in Paris. Unfortunately this Mercure is really a poor one and not up to the Accor hotels standards. The first room we were given was on a floor that was being renovated and there were tools and rubble in the nearby corridor. After complaining to the reception desk we were given a small room without work nearby ... Not a place where I will come back at this price of a little more than $100 per night, the Diwan hotel from the Accor group in the same area of Rabat is definitely much better and not much more expensive...

Reasonably-priced hotel not far from the Tour Hassan site and a short walk to the new tramway. Room was very small, with a very narrow space between the bed and (small) desk. Fine if all you need is a bed, but too cramped to do any work in the room. The breakfast is nice at the onsite restaurant, with a good selection. Internet is free, but outgoing local calls are not. There is a small convenience store directly across the street, which, although it has a limited selection, is handy for buying water, snacks, or travel supplies.

Overall, a nice experience

I have low expectations when it comes to hotels, especially when I'm traveling alone. This was the cheapest offer I could find. I read many reviews about this hotel and the reviews were mixed, so I wasn't expecting much. The hotel was clean, always got new towels and the complimentary breakfast was nice (I'm very picky about food so, basically I only ate some bread and water/juice). I tried the hotel bar, and sampled the local beer which was very good. The hotel was not noisy, nor during the night or day. I slept fine. The air-conditioner worked and kept me cool (there was also a small refrigerator that had to be plugged in to use it and it worked fine). And I didn't need to hand them over my passport (if some people are wondering about that). Nothing was stolen, but I tend to keep things very clean and in order while I'm away from my room, to make things easier on the housekeepers.

It was a prepaid reservation, and I still had to let them swipe my credit card at the end of my stay. They haven't charged me yet, although I did make one short phone call (and they rightfully should charge me for that, but it has been a while, so maybe they just dropped it).

Noisy Night

This was a good hotel in a convenient location. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable although a bit small, not really any space to put our suitcases.
Our night was somewhat ruined by the fact that a party seemed to be going on in a nearby room in the early hours, with people shouting and conversing in the corridor and doors slamming. We had to call the night receptionist who did not speak English, but he did at least sort the problem out. We were probably just unlucky, although it did highlight the fact that the rooms are not particularly well designed for blocking noise. Breakfast was quite good, with a large selection of food, but horrible push-button machine coffee.

Very nice hotel in a good location

Seems like Rabat is mainly a business destination. Hotels are kind of scattered around the city and Americans are not going to find any familiar brands. This hotel is part of the Accord chain and is very comfortable for an American business traveler. Breakfast is excellent. Dinner was also very good but the menu is fairly short - the Moroccan dishes were as good as I had in 2 weeks in the country. Small full service bar, good wine list with quite nice Moroccan wine selection.

The Mercure is situated in a very nice neighborhood - kind of the medical district with lots of doctor's offices and laboratories. Nightlife (such as it is in Rabat)and the Medina are a short walk (just head toward the ocean and you can't miss it).

Only downside was the lack of in-room internet. This was the case in every hotel I stayed in, in Nov 2009 regardless of the location or brand. Not sure if it was an economic thing or security thing. Internet worked fine in the lobby so either get one of the "high boost" wifi gadgets or plan on working in the lobby.

Thumbs up

This place is a good bargain for the money. It's cheaper than some of the hotels because it is not in the absolute center, but it is much nicer than some of the older more traditional hotels. All the internet you want in the lobby (no access in rooms). Kangarou restaurant connected to hotel; great food. Wait staff will serve you while you lounge in the comfortable chairs in the hotel lobby, catching up on the internet. The free breakfast is second to none. Hot and cold dishes, fresh fruits, fresh bread....wonderful.It was clear the place had recently been renovated and my accommodation was nearly perfect.
