Tanjah Flandria

Upon arriving in the room, we found it very noisy despite being located on the 5th floor; we then tested 2 others but with the same result! So, to be avoided. We did not sleep a wink all night between the honking, the sirens, and the passersby coming out of the bars… Tiny room and very insufficient breakfast, cafeteria-style. It is evident that this is a hotel special for groups.

I stayed one night at Flandria to start off a weeklong tour of Morrocco. It's a very modern style hotel and is centrally located so lots of places to walk nearby. The room was fine though it didn't appear to have been updated in a while; the hallways and elevator lobbies were dimly lit with colored lights, apparently going for a clubby vibe. There is a rooftop pool, though being late October it was deserted for my stay. There is a bar on the lower floors which is a nice amenity for western tourists; the bartender was very friendly. Overall it was fine for an overnight in the city center, though not overly memorable.

This was a difficult stay at this hotel. The hotel did not appear to be set up for the season and was severely impacted by Ramadan. The bedroom was basic, but clean and comfortable. TV didn't work but it didn't matter. It was noisy, not from the hotel but from the street outside as people seemed to go on the street after dusk till around 02.45am. Dinner supplied was fine, although they only had 1 bottle of wine in the whole hotel and approximately 4 bottles of beer. There were 20 in our party and other guests staying. There were only about 4 small bottles of soft drink to purchase. The bar did not open until the second night. Breakfast was poor on day 1 and worse on Day 2. There was 1 waiter who worked very slowly. 1 pot of coffee for 20 people which of course ran out quickly, not enough cups and not enough breakfast. Day 2 there was also another group in and so when we arrived at 08.00, there was no breakfast left, no coffee, no hot water and not even any cereal. We bought breakfast at the train station later that day. Whilst we could make allowances for the fact that Ramadan was taking place, this does not excuse the breakfast issue, which was unacceptable.
