The hotel is the oldest in Tangier and built into the old city fort. It has a colorful history which is shown in the pictures around the hotel. It is dated, but that also gives it charm. You feel like you've gone back in time. The staff was great, room was clean, quiet, and the hotel is located very close to the marina and the old medina (market area). The combined environment makes you feel like you're in a movie at times. The breakfast was very good, having food a Westerner and a local would both appreciate. The seating area was also situated high in the hotel, and it had a beautiful patio which provided a picturesque, romantic view. I would definitely stay here again.
