My husband and I were only staying for one night on our way from Todra Gorge to Ait Ben Haddou. The last 4km or so leading to the hotel is a dirt track (not the fault of the hotel). The hotel itself is a quirky little oasis that gives off a very peaceful air and is perfect for relaxing for a day.
We had booked the Atlas Suite with a rooftop terrace. Unfortunately, that room was already taken when we arrived and they gave us the Nakhla Suite which was on the ground floor with its own little garden/seating area. We were really tired and couldn’t be bothered arguing as we were only staying one night anyway. The accommodation was absolutely fine; however, the safe didn’t have a key, no coffee/tea-making facilities and only a very short supply of hot water. The walls are very thin and the toilet is child-size but the wifi was good and mosquito screens on all the windows meant that we did not have to use the A/C and could enjoy the cool night-air instead.
There is a beautiful common terrace from which to watch the sunset and breakfast/dinner is eaten in the garden which is visited by friendly peacocks. The quality of the food is excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner of chicken tajine with semolina and the friendly (if very relaxed) service at dinner; breakfast, too, had a lovely spread albeit again, at a very relaxed tempo. In short, a great place to chill between destinations.
