Absinthe Tangier

Great location in the Medina. Views of the port. Very comfortable. Air conditioning! Would stay here again

Nice place but be carefull because they try to use every excuse to charge more money. At the end of the journey they charged me 100€ only because I left in the rubbish bin room a pocket of electronic cigarettes without having absolutely smoked in the room. They did not consider any motivation.

The lock on the room did not work so the door (and our belongings) was not secure. The woman who greeted us said that her colleague would be there shortly. More than two hours later, the lock was finally fixed. We were only in Tangier for one night and this is not the way we wanted to spend our time. There were no windows that opened to get fresh air. The air conditioner was stuck on 22, which the woman said was the "normal" temperature. It was too warm for a comfortable stay. The bathroom was not truly a bathroom - more of a wet room. When you showered, the entire room (with a low ceiling) got wet. There was a dehumidifier in the room, which took up space in the already small room. The room we stayed in faced the front of the medina. I was very loud as you could hear people outside all hours of the day and night. The location of the hotel was convenient, but that's the only good thing I can say about the place.

Navigating the medina was quite challenging and felt like a maze, which unfortunately attracted the attention of local fake guides offering 'help'. This made it quite stressful to find the property. Perhaps in the future, it might be beneficial if the hotel staff could meet guests at the gate upon arrival? On a more positive note, the rooftop view was absolutely stunning and a real highlight of my stay. However, I did notice that there was no room refreshing? during my time there. Additionally, I found the breakfast and laundry service to be overpriced, which seemed to discourage guests from using them. Lastly, the call to prayer was broadcast right next to my window, which might be disturbing for some guests. Given these experiences, I would recommend staying at a hotel in Tangier Central and visiting the Old Medina during the day.

Even though it is not convenient location but the stay in middle of Kasbah is well worth it. Waleed took care of our needs and thanks to him our stay in Tangiers was a success.

Marcel was a wonderful host- friendly and welcoming. The place felt authentic and centrally located, making it perfect for my first visit to Tangier, Morocco. I absolutely loved my stay.
