Le Vieux Chateau de Dades

WARNING - DO NOT BOOK!!! We stayed 1 night here as part of a 3 day trip to the Sahara. Quite frankly this is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Hard to know where to start but here goes. The bedding was filthy, not cleaned from the last guest. Stains on pillows and sheets, hairs on pillows. We had small black bugs crawling across the sheets and on the floors, ants also. The owner was reluctant to give us the remote control for the air conditioning. We ended up changing the room 3 times but on each occasion it simply got worse until we gave up. Bathrooms are filthy and on this occasion there was no hot water. Didn't sleep a wink and would have been happier to sleep in the truck. Food was inedible, just appalling. We were also informed that the bottled water would cost extra even though it was included in the package. It was obvious from the beginning that this place has not been touched since the 80's. Nothing worked and all touch points were filthy. If you have booked a 3 day trip to the Sahara, ask which hotel you will stay in for the first night. If it's this, then simply cancel the trip and go with another guide. To make matters worse, when you complain to them, they simply laugh, finding it all very amusing.

We came here on a lovely spring day to have lunch on the outside porch. We started with a chopped salad with hard boiled eggs and olives served with freshly baked bread with olive oil. Then we had beef tagine followed by slices of fresh oranges and bananas with a small sprinkle of cinnamon. We took a ride to see the fantastic Dades gorges and came back for some fresh tea and handmade Moroccan cookies. The bathrooms were very clean

One of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in the world! The room was extremly cold and wet, the bed hasn't got fresh leaning, we foud a lot of sombodys hair. The bathroom was dirty, never cleaned. Smelly shower. When I tried to ask for a kit to switch the heating on, manager was rude and let us pay 10 euro. Food was simple and bad. We didn't choose the hotele, because we bought a trip for Sahara. Avoid!!!
