Reviews and Ratings
The hotel may not be the most luxurious, and amenities are lacking, but it was very decorative. The rooms, though small, were clean. Service was generally friendly but with some issues regarding change and speed. The location is excellent, near both the Medina and the modern city, though a bit crowded. Dining options varied from superb to boring. Overall, a decent stay with clear pros and cons.
The hotel offers a mix of historical charm and modern amenities. The rooms are clean and comfortable, reflecting its untouched past during Churchill's stay, although they could be slightly bigger. The service is warm and welcoming, yet some recommendations lacked attention to detail. The location is superb, right in the heart of the port city with easy access to main attractions, but some areas could use a bit more investment. The dining experience offers a mix of Moroccan and international cuisine, but could use improvement in freshness and variety.
The hotel felt more like a bed & breakfast in Bognor Regis than a supposedly 5-star hotel. The room was beautiful with a terrace view of the pool and beyond it the ocean, but it had not been made up even five hours after we hung the 'please make up my room' sign outside the door.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were lovely and clean, but the overall stay was a bit strange. The hotel is slightly dated, but I would fully recommend it, especially since the rooms face the water.
Be cautious with the dated rooms and limited shower options, but enjoy the central location and stunning views. Facilities are generally satisfactory with room for improvement.
My stay at Hotel Rif & Spa had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, right at the top of the bustling Medina, but it felt more like a cozy B&B than a luxurious 5-star hotel. The service was a bit lacking with an indifferent attitude from the staff, and the rooms, unfortunately, were shabby and lacking in amenities. On the bright side, the dining experience was out of this world, but the hotel facilities left something to be desired.
The hotel's location is ideal, steps away from the old town and Medina, making it perfect for evening strolls. The rooms are fairly sized and kept very clean, but the fishy smell and lack of soundproofing can be bothersome. The service is mixed with some staff being grumpier, but others, like Ahmed, are exceptionally friendly. The dining experience falls short of a five-star standard, and the breakfast could use improvement. The hotel boasts a convenient location near attractions like the old souk market but lacks certain amenities.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are comfortable, but the noise from the garden can be disturbing. The service is a mix of helpful and unimpressive experiences. The location is perfect for exploring the city, but some aspects need improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered stunning views of the Mediterranean from a balcony, but they only provided two bath towels and one face towel for three guests. The cleanliness was satisfactory, with a good view of the new marina in early development. However, the service, though efficient, lacked friendliness, especially at reception and the restaurant cashier. The location was decent, between the medina and the Ville Nouvelle, but not well-maintained with some moldy cushion covers on limited sun beds. The dining experience was outstanding, with top-quality food, though the service and welcome were not up to the same standard. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.
