I was on a one day business trip in tangier and we were booked in the El Minzah hotel. As I did not know what Hotel had been booked for me, I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel was a colonial style Hotel with a certain charm in the middle of Tangier. I got checked in very fast, but some... More

Pros: Well located, helpful front desk, good wine bar with Italian/continental food. Cons: Cart with dirty linen and dishes from room service breakfast still in the hallway at 11 in the evening; burned out lights in the rooms and televisions imposible to operate without extensive instructions from bellboy.

By modern standards, El Minzah is not, perhaps, the best hotel to stay at in Tangiers. If you wish to relive the atmosphere of Tangiers at the time it was an international enclave of mystique, decadence and intrigue - then El Minzah is for you! I first stayed there in the late 70's, and again in the 80's, 90's and... More

Most disappointing. Expensive, minimal service, badly signposted. Stale croissants for breakfast two days in a row. Dour servers in the restaurant. Not to be repeated. I hope that Tangiers has a lot more to offer.

I wrote an earlier review noting that the hotel lacked free wi-fi. A representative from the hotel wrote to apologize and promised that the hotel intended to offer complimentary wi-fi in the future. I am back for the first time since then and they do indeed have free wi-fi service now. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location... More

Once you arrive in Morocco (anywhere that's relatively within driving distance via a Grand Taxi), just tell your driver "Minzah" -- it's by far the most well-known hotel in the entire country. My wife and I had a fantastic stay here for four (4) nights. Honestly, I didn't know what to think before I booked this trip ... but I... More

I think that by Tangier/Morocco standards this was an excellent hotel. I met people who had been staying elsewhere and moved to this hotel and were quite happy. Although I did not get to eat at their "gourmet" restaurant, the traditional meal was good and the cous cous was the best I ever had. I hired a driver to take... More

while beautiful and with the bets location possible in Tangier, the hotel staff made for an unpleasant experience... as said teh hotel is nice, the rooms OK. Although one might question the price premium the Minza asks in comparison with other hotels which haven't been brushed up as of late, but still offer good and clean quality, but for a... More

We stayed here twice in a week - at both ends of a trip to Morocco via the ferry. We felt their service, particularly at reception doesn't do justice to the lovely surroundings and ambiance. Would still stay there again and some of the staff were lovely and helpful, but delays at reception a nuisance and not acknowledged or apologised... More
