We were excited to see that this hotel was actually recommended by "Lonely Planet" and thought that we would be getting value for money. However, my husband and I will never return to this hotel!
The service at the reception desk is just awful! We were not even greeted. Our passports were just demanded and a key given to us. Personnel at front desk could not even speak english! Our room was very dusty and in fact, the whole hotel was upside down. Our bathroom was not cleaned properly and there were so many holes in our towels it was disgusting to think they could even think of putting them there! We were given a plate of dry, old pastries for breakfast which was quite pathetic. The floors in the dining area were filthy and so were the table cloths. Hygiene is just not up to standard in this place. Neither is the customer service.

Stayed in this place late December 2011for a few nights which I booked through the Spanish ferry company FRS as part of an extended 3day excursion deal (Tarifa to Tangiers)
The accommodation in room 203 was quite the worst hotel experience of my life. The floor was old bare floorboards with 2cm. gaps between the boards, The wardrobe was woodworm infested, falling to pieces with old newspapers lining the few shelves. Indeed it was so bad that I did not dare use it for my few clothes. The bathroom was another disaster, with broken floor tiles, a lavatory that moved around when one sat on it, a sink that was 7-8 cm out from the wall and a colony of ants that appeared for my entertainment on a frequent basis.
Since the bed linen/towels looked clean and white I decided to persevere seeing that my stay was for a short period. What a mistake that decision was. On the last day of my visit I noticed red swollen insect bites on my arms, wrist and legs which developed into running infected welts. Back in Spain for a further weeks holiday I had to seek medication to deal with these infections and indeed since my return home to Ireland nearly a week hence I am still taking medication. My concern was so great that immediately after arriving back to Spain I e-mailed the hotel Manager and FRS to convey my concerns about the accommodation and the potentially dangerous conditions for guests in the hotel and in particular room 203. Whilst the hotel is reasonably convenient, it is living on past glories as portrayed in the very many old and historical photographs that adorn the common areas. However when one looks for any more recent photographs/endorsements there are none, which surely says a lot about this hotel.

We were wary about booking this place as it has many mixed reviews, some REALLY bad. We caught a ferry from Spain and decided to rock up to reception.
The man at reception was slow but he gave us 2 sets of keys and told us to have a look at both the rooms and choose one.
The first room was small but had a view of the ocean (it did smell a little old) and the second was bigger & fresh so we chose that room.
It was great value at 70 euro for 3 of us.
The mint tea on the terrace was fantastic! 1.50 euros for a pot & the best view!
The beds were comfortable & all over a great stay! We only stayed 1 night which was great.
If your a really fussy person, don't stay here. If you like an adventure & don't mind a but of wear and tear then i would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel.
Also, breakfast was so relaxing & great service.

A thoroughly decent choice for the transient visitor to Tangier. Stayed one night on my way to Meknès/Fes: clean room (minus the small family of ants in the bathroom, but they weren't bothering anyone), decent in-room dinner, pleasant staff. They held my baggage after checkout while I explored the city, and they called me a cab to the train station. Overall, nothing fancy, nothing terrible. I left satisfied.
