Hôtel non rénové et malpropre. les chambres sont très petites, coffre fort non fonctionnel et tout est sale et dégueulasse à vue. Petite place pour une seule valise et aucune place pour une trousse de toilette dans la salle de bain. En plus interdit d’apporter un breuvage ou de la nourriture de l’extérieur même pas une bouteille d’eau, on doit acheter sur place à l’hôtel, (du jamais vu). La photo de la prise électrique est celle en entrant dans la salle de bain. Points forts: bien situé hors de la médina, lit confortable et étonnamment literie propre,

4 night stay at Hotel Akabar

The hotel was very good for the price we paid per night (around £18). The rooms were basic but the beds were really comfortable. The restaurant serve a reasonable menu and also alcohol, however you can’t rely that you will be served what you asked for. Nevertheless the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is good as it’s half way between the big square medina and the new town so if you don’t mind walking 10mins in either direction it’s very easy. Unfortunately the pool was out of use when we got there (in fact looked under construction) which we were not told about previously.

The Hotel Akabar desperately needs a coat of paint and a reno. It must have been a beauty when new. The bar was nice, it is nice to have a pool to cool down. The staff was all friendly and nice. The location is perfect. Close to both Gueliz and the Old Medina. A supermarket is also just a couple of blocks away. I recommend staying as a great location and value proposition.
