“Huge rooms, little else”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel really has two parts: one as a 3-star hotel close to the main road and a 4-star riad further away. We stayed at the riad.

The room was huge - living room, bedroom, two toilets, separate bathroom, but slightly rundown and not entirely clean. The rest of the hotel has the charm of a package holiday resort. Dinner and breakfast were O.K. There was free WLAN in the reception, but not in the room.

The location is very close to Kasbah Taourit, but there is little else of interest in the vicinity.

“Only in desperation!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

This was one of the most depressing hotels I've ever been to. The location, Art Deco architecture and garden should make it a lovely place to stay as a stage ing post for the desert. Sadly, the large rooms are dirty and very strangely decorated. Bathroom facilities ranged from bad to farcical, as the showers didn't work, bidet pipes not attached and the tiles were crumbling from the walls. You need your own soap, as that provided was not enough to wash your hands. Certainly, no mini shampoos etc here.
Tho the food was good, it was delivered with no style or pleasure. Totally rushed service.
This is ripe for a remodel/takeover.

“Fair Quality, High Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed two nights at Riad Salam. This hotel offers a very good price/quality ratio (60 € a night). The room was very large, actually two separate rooms with TV's in both. A little old fashioned and bit dark, but lots of space and clean. There were air conditions in both rooms. The breakfast is good and served in front of the restaurant at the pool side. Nice pool and garden. Helpfull staff.

“Comfortable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I liked this hotel. It had quite a lot of character, and a slightly French atmosphere. The rooms were large and well-furnished, with separate WC and separate bathroom. The room did have some traffic noise.

The pool was pleasant, and there was free wifi in the poolside area and lobby. The restaurant offered a buffet meal which was perfectly adequate, and it was possible to eat outside, in a pleasant courtyard. The hotel served alcohol.

Overall, my one night stay was a very pleasant experience

“Average is spot on”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2008
2
people found this review helpful

Of the 6 hotels/riads we have stayed in during our trip to Morocco, this one is the most forgetable. From my observation, there are two parts to this place i.e. 1. hotel/motel 2. riad style rooms. We stayed at the first.

In Asia, it would fit the star rating of 2 stars.

The rooms are basic and clean. Nice clean hot shower. No design, decor whatever. Plain practical. The impression I got was that the cleaning lady took some drapes from her home and decorated the place.

The breakfast was average. The pool is average. The location is so so, depending on where you want to go. It is around the corner from the Kasbah but if you want to go to the night market etc, it is at least 20 minutes walk away.
