Hotels in El Faid

"I was a bit disappointed with my stay here as it looked a lot better in the photos and description than the reality. It felt quite run down and I experienced power cuts and a leaky ceiling onto my bed during the rain that evening. I also think it has just been taken over by a new owner who said the property wasn't on Expedia despite me booking and paying using it. It looks like the Expedia listing was still active and controlled by the previous owner so there was hassle between them because of the payment. Hopefully, this is just a blip and the new owner can make the most of what could be a lovely place and setting."

"Arrival to the property in dark was least assuring as details from Expedia hadn’t reached the place.(?) Don’t be surprised when street pavement ends 15 meters before the gate, nobody answers and have to chase down property manager’s direct phone number from neighboring residents. Luckily manager lives not far and we were greeted by kind man named Aissa. After cold nights in standard places, two of us have been for good night stay after days of adventuring remote roads and towns during coldest days. Which used to be local prince’s palace, had fallen to ruins and is very well renovated by owners with an attention to preservation of historical details. After cold pool plunge swim, we were served nice breakfast and treated to the tour of the property by Aissa. Aissa himself as a carpenter helped owners to renovate and we got to compare photos of before and now. We were only ones there after late breakfast and private treatment added depth to the experience. "

"An ok stay for one night if you are traveling through this area. Our bathroom wasn’t he cleanest. Hotel is older and a bit worn. The food in the restaurant was good and basic. "
