We stayed here for one night on the way back from an Erg Chebbi desert trek.

The hotel is a bit surreal in that it's the grounds of a deserted desert film studio and has mummies and Egyptian paraphernalia everywhere. I think we stayed at a particularly quiet time - there were 6 other guests at most - so perhaps some of the faded Hollywood glamour and mystique was missing!

Our room was quite large with an ensuite as well as a separate washbasin behind the door. It
was clean and comfortable, but our clothes did reek a bit of mothballs for a few days afterwards. There is a swimming pool for cooling off, with some loungers and chairs dotted around it.

The waiting staff were excellent - very efficient, friendly and they made sure they catered to some allergy-related dietary requirements we had. The food was good and fresh - it was a set menu with no choice - but I think they cooked us some extra dishes from scratch to accommodate us (me) and my allergy.

There are Gladiator pictures everywhere - so if you're a fan, this is probably the hotel for you!

My fiance, my girlfriend and I spent three relaxing days here in the Directors Suite - wonderful one bedroom with huge living room and balcony - comfortable, clean and accommodating staff. Wonderful pool with faux Hollywood feel style. We really enjoyed ourselves. Breakfast was a bit bland but generally good. I would still recommend staying here.

Attached to the Atlas Films studios the hotel has a unique atmosphere unlike any other and does it best to show off its cinema history and provide a relaxing contempory mood. Rooms are clean but basic and the quality of your bathroom and number of TV channels can be luck of the draw. At around 3km outside Ouarzazate you will need a car for most journey but it should also be noted that taxi are cheap as chips.

Communal areas are very nice with a lot made of its cinema pedigree with signed photos and movie props in abundance. The restaurant offers a good mix of international favourites from bolognese to burgers alongside traditional Moroccan dishes. Drinks can be a little pricey but the movie themed 'Gladiator' bar makes up for it.

The main appeal comes from being in a hotel in a working film studio and luck find you sharing with cast and crew you can soak up the exiting work of film making.

I stayed at this hotel for one night en route to the desert. The hotel's facilities were exactly what we were looking for - the hotel was basic but comfortable. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Ouarzazate, right next door to Atlas Studios. Apart from the studio, the hotel is not convenient to the sights or amenities of Ouarzazate and it would be difficult to get around without a car.

We also had a problem with noise on the property - a very large school group was staying on the property on the same night we were there. This group took over the hotel and was making a lot of noise around the pool area very late into the night. Hotel staff were there but didn't do anything about it, even after I complained. Noise really travels in the desert!

However the hotel was just what we were looking for as a comfortable place to stay for the night.
