    The room and bathroom were a bit old and not super clean but ok for the price

    The location which is just in the main square and close to everything. The staff was super friendly and helpful The room was big with a private bathroom with a small balcony facing the square, I like it because i could watch and listen to the music at night

    If you want to go to sleep early, like 8-9pm, you can't because of the noise from outside, but I think when visiting Maroco you cannot go to sleep early anywhere, because this is there lifestyle.

    The hotel is right at the main square. They dance, have music until 10-11pm, you can see it all from the window (our room had the market view, I don't know on the other side how it is). The stuff was very helpful, he arranged for us a grand taxi that we took together with another tourist from the hotel and we went to visit the Atlas movie studios, the oasis and the village Aït Benhaddou. We all payed for the car 600dh (aprox 60 euro) & a little tip (you dived it to all the persons in the car). If you go there you must visit these places. The breakfast was really good (with tea, coffee, orange juice, bread, butter, jam, honey...).

    It wasn't the cleanest hotel. Everything is touched by time.

    Hotel is in the city centre. Good view for a nightlife in quarzazate.

    Probably the best budget accommodation in Ouarzazate but it really needs a major revamp.

    The description of available facilities on booking.com is far from reality: no trace of private kitchen, at least a small fridge should be really helpful in the room. The rooms are provided of working AC and TV set (only RT and TNT in English, all other channels in Arabic). The Internet connection is really a big headache, we bought a local SIM from Orange. The furniture is really old, including only the minimum survival kit. The beds are not really comfortable, hard mattress, synthetic pillows. The same story in the private bathroom: synthetic towels, one paper roll, two mini hard old style soaps for one week, never replaced or renewed. Shower on the wall splashing water everywhere and very slow drain. The water is hot but you might need to wait some minutes with the tap opened. No card payment, always tricky to pay the right amount between various currency conversions. Try to come with Euro cash and maybe you will pay the right amount as from booking.com. Alternatively, exchange your cash currency in MAD to the nearest exchange office (5 min away). Whatever you do you might still loose some money.

    Excellent location in the heart of the old city, 30 min walking distance from the airport, friendly and helpful staff. All services just minutes from the location: exchange offices, old market, Carrefour supermarket, banks, restaurants, Orange mobile office, CTM bus transfers. Excellent view of the central square and direct contact with the local amazing festivities each evening. Excellent stay for a reasonable budget. With all the technical headaches described in the cons section, we really enjoyed our stay to Bab Sahara. Thank you to all the staff!

    While the linens were clean, I'm not sure the blankets had been washed, as they were a bit dusty.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable price for what it is. Nice breakfast in the morning included in my 300Dh expense. I was there on a Sunday night and indeed, there were festivities in the square right outside my window. However, they died down after 2130 and by 2215 it was perfectly quiet. The building also has rooms along the back which you may be able to get if you ask. Honestly I just enjoyed hanging around the square soaking in the music and dancing.

    The address ,location was not clear to find.

    The hotel is overlooking on the big square where every evening are local groups playing music. It’s a great experience to see and hear. The room was simple but clean and shower. We could park our safe in the garage. The front desk people were friendly and very helpful.. Nice breakfast. It’s great to experience the life in the town. Restaurant on the square.

    The room was not as beautiful as on the pictures and the hotel floors looked more like an old european school or military base. We drove back from Mhamid to Marrakech and just needed a place to stay for the night, so for that it was more than ok, but for that price I had definitely better hotels in Morocco.

    The receptionist was very friendly and helped us with finding the place to park the car. One of the beds sounded as if it would collapse any time but luckily it did not :) The location of the hotel is good, right at the center with restaurants very close and the breakfast was good as well.

    Bathroom' needs improvement eg shower and door needed maintenance. TV : why is it at ceiling height? Maybe they're used to this in public areas, but in private rooms at hotels it should be at eye level. But this is a fairly minor point as TV is not an essential in a basic hotel room (and i only used news as background noise)

    Staff very helpful Room clean (albeit basic / dated) Good breakfast (coffee / juice / baguette) Location is excellent : on main square Ouzaratte is a lovely place. Relaxing place to stay before a flight after travelling in busier places TIP: Some reviews said Googlemaps wasn't so accurate. But i found that it was accurate in most cases in morocca (including with hiking trails and finding hotels in medina's). But you should always take the directions from the hotel's website, as they will have set the co-ordinates. if you just Google for the hotel name or address then it may not be as accurate depending on how it's been tagged on a map (i made that mistake when first arriving in a few cities).

    The door / window to the small balcony didn’t lock. It all felt safe but could unnerve you.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Flexible checking in time, let us in early. Helped print our boarding pass. Clean room. Good air conditioning. Access to roof terrace. Breakfast on patio overlooking square. We had a lovely time. Square very vibrant at night, comes alive with light up rides for kids which was fun to watch and join in with.
