The building has been immaculately restored and feels like a museum, with many incredible pieces on every floor. Location is fantastic - right in the heart of the medina and not difficult to find, with a superb view from the terrace. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, albeit in need of some attention on the simple but very important things such... More

My husband and I and a group of friends and family came to Morocco for a week to celebrate my birthday, with our first night spent in Tangier. I chose for us to stay at Riad Arous Chamel. Gilles, the owner of Arous Chamel is a wonderful host; the staff are really hospitable and nothing is a problem. I was... More

The best place in old Medina, the staff is friendly, the owner is fantastic: helpfull, clever and cultivated, he can give you very interesting book about the recent history of Tanger. The fireplace is romantic, the terrace is unforgettable.

We spent one night here, and with the assistance of a portable heater our accomodation was fair. It is a classic riad hotel, which means it is in a middle of the Tangier medina and no central heating. I would give this an average mark, in our opinion their price is more expensive than the provided service.

Whatever had been said about this riad ARE TRUE! It's the best place to stay! Clean, Staffs are helpful!!! Sahid and Raschid... It's true too it's a maze to find this place. I was directed by unofficial guide who got angry after I paid him and dropped him as advised by Sahid. I suggest call the riad and ask them... More

This was a lovely hotel with very helpful and accommodating staff. Although the medina can seem somewhat overwhelming, Riad Arous Chamel provides a comfortable and relaxing retreat. Rachid and Sahid were brilliant and their English and local knowledge was excellent. The breakfasts were amazing, especially if you have a sweet tooth. The open plan landings were very impressive looking down... More

I have stayed in Tangier a few times before, we always stayed in hotels. This trip we decided to stay inside the Medina and booked two nights in this Riad. It was a fabulous experience you get the real feel of Morrocco the minute you step into this tranquil building which is located in the centre of the busy Medina.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this Riad. The rooms are comfortable, the staff is very nice, and the atmosphere and decor is beautiful. Best, in addition to your room the entire house is open to you. There are many quiet public areas to sit, read, or get on line. The rooftop restaurant is only open in the mornings and... More

We stayed 2 nights, and cannot complain at all: we were picked up from the airport with no charge, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast huge & lovely... The Riad itself is perhaps on the simple side, but really it depends on what you expect, it was very clean and welcoming too!

This was a lovely little riad with a comfortable bed and hot shower. For our room the bathroom was separate to the bedroom but was only for our use. Breakfast was fantastic on the roof terrace with great views. The interior of the riad was lovely and clean but our room could do with a little TLC- the head board... More
