We travelled to Tangier on the ferry from Algeciras on our motorbike (seemed to interest the locals at least!) My husband had booked the El Minzah as a surprise stopover before we continued our journey into the Rif. He didn't realise it was somewhere I'd always wanted to go! The hotel's common areas are nothing short of magnificent in 1930s... more

The El Minzah is resting heavily on it's 'heritage laurels' and is definitely not delivering the 5 star treatment any more. Great location, good range of facilities if you want them and all of that old world charm. Service however is chaotic and random with some disappointing moments acted out by various staff across the board. If I can walk... more

We decided to visit the El Minzah, when actually at Tangiers. We avoided booking the hotel after reviewing trip advisors comments, but we found the hotel very well situated and offered excellent accommodation, in every aspect. The staff were very attentive, it had great bars, restaurants, swimming pool and fitness centre. There was nothing we would change, it had great... more

Travelling with friends and having been put out of our riad a day early - probably due to inefficiency rather than bad faith, but who knows - we were very thankful El Minzah could offer us two fine rooms for our last night in Morocco. We could not have had a warmer welcome and were shown to two good sized... more

This is a very impressive looking grand old hotel in the heart of the city of Tangiers. It is spotlessly clean in all of the public areas and does indeed have an element of old time charm. Most of the male staff wear 'traditional turn of the century' dress. The city is very noisy and busy, however, once you are... more

This was my third stay at the Minzah, but next time I will try somewhere else. This expensive hotel is more style than substance and the value is just not there, especially in comparison with other 5-star hotels in Morocco. The Minzah does have some advantages. It is the Grand Old Dame of Tangier hotels, and is impeccably maintained. It... more

Having arrived in Tangier last at night to the very unwelcome news that our reservation (which we had paid for in full) at the Hotel Rif & Spa, would not be honoured as they had given our room away, we panicked and began ringing round the other hotels in our guide book trying to find a room for the night.... more

This is not a 5 star hotel by any means. Few of the staff speak english or irish for that matter ,there is no internet in the rooms,the breakfast is plain [they forgot to scramble the eggs at all],if you do not know your number you will feel very uncomfortable @ breakfast with cold looks and indifference to you r... more

We originally booked at the Tanggerina but as we were very disappointed on arrival (tatty and uninspiring) we came to the Minzah which had been recommended by a friend who had lived in Morocco. The rooms are very comfertable, we were upgraded to a 'room with a view' at no extra cost, and the hotel in general had that old... more
