Atlas Chaouen Hotel

She regally sits above Chefchaouen. I see that many visitors are concerned with her aging and the fact that WiFi is only in the lobby. Because I did not have WiFi in the room I got better sleep (btw the bed was like cloud 9) and I finally got around to reading a great article on Peter Lynch, in Barron’s. For those of you with teenagers, use the no WiFi time to talk to them; they will be gone from the nest before you know it. For those couples that have allowed electronic devices to push you apart, enjoy the quality time. Mustafá and the rest of the staff are marvelous, the food is very good and my guess is when the renovation is complete it will be difficult to book a room. In the meantime, enjoy the queen before she gets her much needed beauty enhancement.

Rooms are dirty and not equipied,the tv was not connected to the electricity.the bath room was floaded.there was not any shampo in the bathroom,the towels was so thin that you can not be dry after the shower. The food in the breakfest was finished at 7:30 am.

When we walked in the front door and the manager had his overcoat on, I was not sure if he was leaving or the lobby was just cold. It was cold. The smell of cigarette smoke throughout the lobby, bar and restaurant on 2nd floor was overwhelming. I was choking. Three of the big picture windows in the restaurant, looking out over Chefchaouen, which should be the place's big selling point (the view) had huge cracks in them. Being high up on the hill, with big winds blowing, I was fearful of the window blowing in on us. The bed room was dirty. The heating unit in the wall rattled and made so much noise we turned it off. Better to be quiet when sleeping than be warm. The bathroom floor was dirty. At least the shower was warm. Rather than staying our planned 2 nights we checked out of the hotel and moved on to another city in Morocco. Forget the cheap price, the place needs a major renovation before any more guests should be allowed in.
