Hotel Angle Atlas & Spa

I stopped by this place more out of desperation than anything else. I'd been caught in a rainstorm and my phone had stopped working, meaning that I had to get shelter quickly. However, having stayed in Riads and Auberges throughout Morocco, I was horrified to be told 350Dh for a single room, 600 for a double, with no breakfast or dinner because the kitchen was closed. There were maybe two or three people on staff in total, the hotel had an absolutely dead feeling to it, it felt like I was in the Shining. I negotiated 500Dh for a double, hoping a friend would be along to share it, but perhaps it was better they didn't. I was shown to room 400 and it was ridiculously run down. My photos show the broken curtain rail, but I had to break out my multi-tool to screw in the bolts on the door handle which had come loose and made it almost impossible to open or close the door. The window was broken, the wind got in through the crack, and the boiler in the bathroom (which perches like a fat white spider in the corner rather than any attempt to cover it up) had to be restarted twice to provide hot water. In the end my friend found lodgings in Er-Ksiba (not much better, this particular region of Morocco seems to have a dearth of good hotels), so I asked to be transferred to a single room, where I was given no discount. There was a working climatiser so I at least had a warm night, but also a noisy one. A completely empty hotel and a family with two very young and very loud children was put right next to me where they capered until I banged on the door to ask their father to keep them quiet. The water was hot, and the bed was hard (but not entirely uncomfortable), but after the sort of attention we had received at other places in travel, and even in central Marrakech, I walked away from this place feeling thoroughly ripped off. Avoid unless, like me, you had no choice.
