Arrived rather later than planned with my three colleagues and the staff made us very welcome. With its period Moroccan architecture, the hotel has a lovely feel, spacious rooms, and is clean and respectable. Breakfast is plentiful and pleasant, and the food in the restaurant is to be recommended, though there are several other good restaurants within easy walking distance. The staff organised a sight-seeing trip around Rabat, taking in the medina, for a couple of our number who had time on their hands, and in general went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and ultimately very successful. We shall be returning here regularly to oversee our five-year contract. Recommended.

The Soundouss is coveniently located to federal Ministry buildings and a decent shopping area. It is about 4 km from the old Medina and downtown shopping areas. The property is very clean and well maintained, with a nice sitting area off the main foyer and a decent (but smoky) bar snugged away up a "secret" stairway. My room was small but clean, with the exception of a dirty shower curtain and blanket. The furnishings were pleasant and included a flat screen tv, fridge/mini-bar and a heater/air conditioner. The heater worked, though heaters in two colleauges' rooms did not. Internet reception was very spotty; it is included in the room price. Also included is the breakfast, which was not very impressive - days-old bread and croissants, sliced cold-cuts, yogurt, cereal (but not milk) and sliced fruit in juice. The breakfast coffee was frequently cold and weak. Luckily, there are numerous good pastry shops within a three-block radius of the hotel. Although smoking is prohibited in hotel rooms, guests in two surrounding rooms were smoking and this made for an unpleasant couple of nights. Perhaps the hotel should tell its guests that smoking is not allowed, and take steps to prevent this from happening in the future.

The hotel would have ranked a "2" if not for the staff, who we found to be friendly and kind.

This hotel was recommended by colleagues,and l was impressed,the beautiful decor was wonderful to come back to after a busy working day. I found the staff polite and cordial.The food in the restaurant was delicious,. the traditional dishes with a glass of wine,superb.
I did some sightseeing arranged for me by the staff,was very enjoyable and was really well looked after.
My room was lovely,clean and comfortable as were those of my colleagues.
I will be travelling to Rabat again in the near future and am looking forward
to having more time to spend at the charmig Soundouss.

I'll admit this is not the lap of luxury, but the architecture and proximity to my local office made it worthwhile. The building itself is very neat. The big downside is the internet. It never worked in my room but always the lobby. After a little snooping I discovered that they placed the wireless units on shelves high up in corners of the common areas on each floor. The problem is that the entire hotel, including inner walls, is made out of solid stone. So if you need to use the internet, try the lobby. The service is pretty hit or miss, and you have to hunt for a waiter. But the food was actually very good, and they sell you wine by the bottle and keep it for you until the next night. This wouldn't be my once-in-a-lifetime destination, but people might like the experience if they can roll with it.
