“Too far out of town”

I stayed here for two nights, 29 and 30 December in room 227, which was quite a long walk from the reception area.

I stayed here for two nights, 29 and 30 December in room 227, which was quite a long walk from the reception area. Hot water for the shower was available on the first night, but only lukewarm on the second night. There was also no shower bracket on the wall so you had to hold the shower head when showering. There were two single beds in the room and enough power points to be able to charge phones etc. The TV wasn't working and the hotel staff member asked if I wanted to change rooms. However, this was a two night stay on my KRAS 'Highlights of Morocco' tour and I had decided to unpack my suitcase this time. My answer to him was that I didn't want to change rooms. The remote location of this hotel made it difficult to reach the centre of town by foot although 'petit taxis' were available for a flat fare of MAD 5.00, something I took advantage of the following afternoon. I can't write anything good about the food because it was the same bland offerings to which I had become accustomed at the previous hotels on my tour. I was hoping this hotel would have been better because it was ranked as a 4*, but it certainly fell short of my expectations. One enjoyable aspect of my stay here was that on the Saturday nights both bars were very lively, one playing Arab music and the other Berber music. It was a good opportunity to experience the authentic hospitality of both groups and ditch the tour group members with whom I was travelling. I wasn't disappointed! WiFi was available in the lobby and intermittently available in the room. If I were visiting Ouarzazate again, I would stay at the Berber Palace Hotel, frequented by actors and actresses shooting films here. I would also fly to the town from either Paris, Casablanca or Marrakech to avoid the circuitous journey by road to Marrakech which I was to experience after leaving the Hotel Le Zat on the morning of my departure.

“Simple but nice”

The rooms are quite spacious and nice. It was also quiet and our group was the only one using the hotel in the offseason month of november. The food was quite good, in the morning fresh pancakes, only the machine making coffee needed a constant refill with water, which was actually quite stupid. The diner was a nice buffet, not too much but more than enough for my likes. The biggest complaint actually was that the doors couldn't be closed quietly from the outside. You could always make out when someone left the room, because the hollow hallway echoed too much and you have to take a taxi to go anywhere because it is quite a long way out of the city centre
