L´Escale de Ouarzazate

We stayed in the hotel, and breakfast was included. They were very flexible, and the staff were really friendly. The mountain view is first class, and it’s clean and quiet here. The food was great, too. The owner is French. I felt safe and at peace, and I’d recommend eating here. I’ll be back in the future.

We were in our campervan, so I can’t comment on the rooms or the food. The spot behind the hotel was lovely, with super clean toilets and showers, and the swimming pool was a great bonus. It’s a nice place to stop with a van. Be sure to visit the local Kasbah in the village for dinner, the food is excellent.

The restaurant was the one decent part. Dinner was expensive but good, while breakfast was mediocre. I booked a room advertised with a "garden view," but what I saw was a gravel wasteland that seemed to be the campsite. Under the glass doors there were big gaps, so outside noise and bugs could get in, and I didn’t feel there was enough privacy or security. In the bathroom there were cockroaches everywhere and the sheets were filthy. The pool was tiny, more like a kiddie paddling pool, and dirty, with trash floating in it. There was also a power socket in my room loose enough to come out of the wall, which felt dangerous. The place felt more like a dingy hostel than a hotel. Are the photos real? They don’t represent this establishment at all. I wouldn’t recommend staying here. It was unpleasant and felt unsafe.

There wasn’t much to see or many restaurants within walking distance, and the place is right by a big road. It’s about a 10 minute drive from aid ben haddou. We stayed in the rooms at this camping, and they were very large. The owner was friendly and helpful. There’s a nice pool, though the water was still quite cold in early April. I found the price a bit high compared with more authentic kasbahs around aid ben haddou. Nothing was really bad, but it didn’t give me a wow feeling or feel especially Moroccan or authentic.
