Was a really pleasant stay in a clean room with bathroom. Fast wifi, roof terrace and great location just next to the tower clock. Minutes from the beach and meters from the medina. Common room with tables and a huge tv downstairs. The hotel well looked after.

As a veteran traveller in Maroc I have used Hotel Sahara for about a decade and will long continue, Inshallah! It used to to be quite budget with a slightly sinister "Sddenly Last summer" ethos about it and provided a no-nonsense tartine petit dejeuner once upon a time but alas no longer. Sahara has had a major and quite endearing makeover, with startling artexing and grotto effects; it's quite funny, but unfortunately costs more; The rooms are reasonably spacious, unlike the awful claustrophobic overpriced done-up hovels in the medina with their special effects superimposed for the tourists and walls impregnated with sea dampness.
It has BATHS for Chrissake - what more do you want,

I shared a room with two friends when we were going the "super cheap" route for lodging. I admit I am a wuss when it comes to budget lodging. The rooms were very basic and it took awhile for the hot water to reach a warm state. My two friends used the shower prior to me and couldn't get any hot water, we sort of assumed there was no hot water for the price we were paying!

The beds were okay and it felt so-so clean. No bugs, no hair, what more do you want for a low price? We went out clubbing til' the wee morning hours so only were in the room for a few hours.

The location was fantastic right next to the medina and a few minutes from the ocean. It's an okay spot if you are looking to save money, want a great location and are not going to spend more than a night!

We stayed in May. This is an odd hotel; they do not seem to be much interested in doing business: it has about 60 rooms of which 4 or 5 seemed occupied. No breakfast was available, but that was no hardship as breakfast next door is fine.
This hotel has obviously seen better days and I'd imagine it was once one of the best in town.
We stayed a week. Our first room, theogh spacious had broken windows and some lights did not work. The second room was much better. Very tastefully appointed; TV with 2 movie channels. Shower head was a bit leaky and hot water only at morning and evening; not all the power points worked.
We had a most comfortable stay. Staff were very pleasant.
At 250 DH for a double, we thought it good value. Beats poky, airless riad rooms anytime.
Just be careful to carefully inspect the offered room before accepting it.
