“A Jewel in The Medina´s Crown”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Probably the best place of its type that I´ve ever stayed in. Perfect location right at the top of Tangier´s kasbah with a wonderful split level rooftop terrace and magnificent views over the Atlantic on one side and the city and distant mountains on the other. This charming riad has been tastefully and professionally restored and the rooms come in all shapes and sizes, are individually decorated and have good quality linen and accessories. In the evening, the whole house is beautifully lit with candles and strategically placed lamps, and on the cold winter nights that we were there, there was always a log fire blazing away in the comfortable sitting area and jazz playing unobtrusively in the background (classical music in the mornings). Excellent breakfast: juice, fruit, eggs, Moroccan cheeses, breads and preserves and coffee or mint tea. The traditional Moroccan dinner we had one night was very good too but there are also some great restaurants nearby in the medina. On our trip, all of the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient and also very helpful with practical advice on places of interest to visit in Tangier and train information for our onward journey to Fez. Highly recommended.

“Best place to start a trip in Morocco”

Trust all the rave reviews about this place. All true. This was our first stop after the ferry from Algeciras, Spain. The staff could not have made us feel more immediately at home. Location is perfect, lovely walks right out the door. La Tangerina is family friendly, too.

“A Home In Tanger”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

As we return to Farida's and Jurgen's La Tangerina we realize each time we are there how precious that time with them and in their house truly is. The marriage of hospitality, service and elegance of an old house in the Kasbah continue to give us an experience that is truly unique.
We spent nights before the fire with dinner prepared by the chef of the house with the music of Radio Suisse in the background. Yet one more unique touch is the music of Vintage radios playing in every room and every part of the hotel. Jurgen, the proprietor, has a passion for collecting vintage radios and restoring them. Their sounds add such character to the house. I even found myself searching old Tanger for one of my own..and thanks to Jurgen I found 2!
We are always eager to return to the Kasbah and join our family at La Tangerina....

My friend and I stayed here on our first night in Morocco and couldn't have been happier. The staff was very helpful and kind and the riad was incredibly clean and well maintained. We would highly recommend it.

“Best little hotel in Tangier”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We made a big mistake in missing La Tangerina. I need air conditioning due to asthma and can't climb a lot of staris due to an accident. Also, I was not sure how to get to the hotel. Past reviews did not help us in this case so we booked the Husa Hotel (a 5 star dump) instead. Please see my review of that one so you don't make the same mistake..

One afternoon we took a taxi to LaTangerina and spent a leisurely hour sipping tea with the owner, Farina. She is both charming and beautiful. I found the stairs to be reasonable even though it was 4 flights up to the roof garden. I also found that this hotel does not need air conditioning because there is always a gentle breeze coming in from the sea. Getting there is easy by taxi and the views from the roof garden are incredible.

We looked at several rooms. They are small but adequate. I hope we can visit Tangier again and next time this will be our home away from home.

Room Tip: I think all the rooms will be good.
