“Average but Close to the Medina”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2006
8
people found this review helpful

The Farah Hotel is part of the Golden Tulip chain and appears to cater to tour groups. The one thing going for it is that it's across the street from the Medina, a 20 minute walk from Rue des Consul, and a 30 minute walk to the Kasbah. I enjoyed waking up early and walking through the Medina before it got crowded.

The hotel advertises an ocean view, but the view is more of the mouth of the Bouregreg River, which has some charm but also a lot of construction. Unfortunately, the hotel is very noisy since it is on a busy thoroughfare and doesn't have very much land that would buffer it from city streets. The traffic is so noisy, that I would not keep the room window open.

The restaurant is average, serving a boring buffet. The menu is better than the buffet, but not worth the price.

The rooms are comfortable and clean but nothing special. There is a small pool on the roof, with a bar that doesn't serve food. While it has a very nice view of the Medina, it is very noisy due to the constant traffic passing by. I would not stay at this hotel again.

decent place in a pretty good location, the city isnt much but if u have to go there and u want to feel decent go there. service was only average which for morroco is quite good. the view from the rooftop pool is cool to see.

all in all a decent place and a safe bet for western comforts

“good location, nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2006
11
people found this review helpful

A 5* business hotel in a good location in Rabat: The Golden Tulip Farah Hotel is just adjacent to the Place Tour Hassan and the medina, with views over the medina to the Kasbah Oudaias, and over the Bou Regreg river to Salé, from the rooftop terrace and poolside.

There are several restaurants, several bars, a gym and indoor pool - whatever you expect from a 5* hotel. You can walk to most sights. The 193 rooms look like business hotel rooms elsewhere, but are clean and well-equipped. Service is okay, and the breakfast was truly the most remarkable we had on our trip, with fruit and cheese and freshly-made eggs and yoghurt and ... Only coffee was as bad as elsewhere. Stay with mint tea.

Surely an excellent option in Rabat, though not very Moroccan in style. Check out my personal travel diary for more details:

“Great value, location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2006

people found this review helpful

The hotel lobby is nice, as is the front desk and restaurant. The rooms are well decorated and comfortable. The heat worked well and the windows open to bring a breeze. It was clean and quiet, the bathroom was clean and nice. There are large closets. The TV has cable. The beds are comfortable. The food in the restaurant was pretty good (buffet) and the service was very good. The location is right by the ocean, close to the Royal mausoleum and Casbah. Most guests seemed to be local businessmen and tourists in groups.
