I really liked this hotel. From the moment I arrived with a group of friends we were all impressed by the decor, the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff. The rooms are spacious and smart, and we had a balcony view of the beach (which is probably best avoided - stick to the excellent pool which will be even better when work is completed on the bar there).

There was a good variety of food available at breakfast, with fruits, meats, breads aplenty, but Bar Aladdin was a little bit seedy late at night.

Overall, the hotel deserves its four star rating and its reputation as one of the best in Casablanca.

This was my first visit to Morocco so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was immediately struck by the colour, mossaics and Moroccan feel to the place. The bedroom was clean and the bed comfortable, so what more could you want (well maybe a few coat hangers but it was no different to many hotels). Our room looked out onto the busy road junction although we weren't troubled by the noise and were treated to an exceptional view of the sun rising over the two mosques on the horizon.

The pool was still shut although it looked tantalising close to completion when they filled it ,but then began to grind all the edging paving - I dread to think what it was doing to the filter.

The staff weren't particularly friendly with a couple of exceptions but I think that was probably a language thing.

Breakfast was good with a selection of cold meats, cheeses, salad and olives. There was fresh and dried fruit , nuts, cereal, bread and delicious pastries plus a few hot items so couldn't complain.

The bar was pleasant enough but generally populated by prostitutes in the evening. I gather this is sadly a feature of these hotels.

Some friends tried out a massage but weren't overly impressed and the only time I looked into the nightclub it was empty.

All in all, an OK hotel. It could do better but you could do worse.

It is a very nice hotel. Our room was lovely, done up in an Moroccan style. We had sea views. Sadly there is some other swimming pools in between and these ruined the view a bit.

The swimming pool for this hotel is being renovated at the moment, so isn't usable. I will be lovely when finished. We we asked the staff about this, they arranged for us to use a different pool at another hotel across the street. The pool was ok, but I wouldn't recommend that hotel. I feel this hotel is the best in the area.

I found the staff very nice and helpful. The breakfast was included and great - lots of fresh fruit, breads, cereal and hot food. They also make omelettes to order.

The area around the hotel is alright. Casablanca is not a rich city, and you can see this everywhere. But I felt safe here compared to some of the other areas we visited.

I was in Casablanca on business and prefer to stay at the beach rather than downtown. I chose a "superior single" with a view of the beach and a small balcony. This room is located in the newest section in the hotel and is quite lovely. There is free Internet access--even WIFI in the lobby---so for the business traveler it's great.

This particular room also overlooks the pool which is currently undergoing reconstruction. When the reconstruction is complete, this hotel will be even better.

The staff is terrific. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the cost of my room, was quite generous. The hotel restaurants are good, the best being the Basmane, which boasts Moroccan cuisine.

If you stay in a room on the street side, expect noise because the hotel is located where two major streets intersect. This will be true in any hotel in this area.

This is my third hotel in Casablanca and I will definitely return.
