فندق ترونزاتلونتيك

Das schöne Hotel bietet geräumige Zimmer mit bequemen Betten und gratis WLAN. Auch die Außenanlage ist sehr gepflegt und vom Pool aus hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Altstadt von Meknes. Das Essen im Restaurant ist sehr gut und ich empfehle das Hotel gerne weiter.

Seeing dire reviews of some of the 3-4 star hotels in Meknes, I initially booked the Ibis half way between the station and the old city but changed my booking to the Transatlantique as it had lovely gardens and pool in the photos. I stayed one night and the price was only slightly more than the Ibis. I am letting the photos speak for themselves as the hotel doesn't seem to have any recent reviews. If you want character, space and nostalgia this is the place. Ok, if you go down on all fours and check skirting boards you will find holes and marks but the hotel was built with quality furnishings and fittings which have lasted well. The bedroom I had was in the newer wing and termed superior. Classic rooms are smaller but perfectly adequate. Breakfast was very tired and unmemorable. Dinner was much better. There aren't a lot of shops or places to eat in the area around the hotel but I walked down the hill to the old town in 30 mins. Taxis are very cheap. I hired a taxi through the hotel to take me to Volubilis and on to Fez. One of the most interesting places I chose to stay during my tour of Morocco.

Although one can see that the place is past its glorious days, that‘s exactly the charme of it. Staff was very friendly, food in the restaurant good and service at the table a remembrance of days gone by. Location somewhat far from the centre, but the garden makes it a nice location to stay. We liked it!
