Kasbah Titrit, Aït Benhaddou

Honestly not my favorite hotel. Beautiful location and the place had a lot of character with a lovely entry and dining area and some of the rooms built into the towers. Staff were very friendly as well. So, there were a number of positives.

That said, the rooms didn’t feel very clean and were in need of some sprucing up. Sheets, pillows, and towels were a bit ragged. Lights were either dim or not working well, Bathtubs needed a really good scrub. One cracked window and others with a pretty heavy coating of dirt/dust. One of our two rooms would not lock from the inside (used real keys here, but the key wouldn’t turn the lock from the inside). Also, worth noting that my daughter had food poisoning after eating dinner here. While this could have happened anywhere and may not have been the hotel’s fault, it was the only time this occurred on the trip and combined with the relatively strange way dinner was served (5 chicken tajine orders were served in 3 tajines and 2 on plates, with French fries in the tajines and rice on the plated versions), this just felt like it was worth noting. We rolled with it, but there was another table that was clearly very upset with how their meal came out and they sent a few dishes back.

I don’t think I’d necessarily stay at this hotel again.

Really interesting place. To spend a night in. Dinner and breakfast were very good and everyone extremely friendly

Very well located hotel.
Super ample room with balcony and a huge comfortable bed.

A bit difficult to take a shower in the bathroom but overall one of the nicest accommodations.

Super kind staff.

Good dinner and good breakfast.

Very bad wifi, we had to be downstairs to get any reception.

Kasbah Titrit is the coolest hotel we have ever stayed at. The building is breathtakingly beautiful even from the main road. The grounds are enchanting, as you can freely walk through the remaining structures and corridors of the ancient Kasbah. The hotel is palatial and ornate, with a calming ambience and a substantial pool and spa. Our room was riveting and spacious with high ceilings and a large, private balcony where we could sit and look out at the lush valley below. The service at this hotel was of the highest caliber. Dinner and breakfast were beyond bountiful. They just kept bringing more and more of the most beautiful, delicious food. We consistently felt like we were the only guests in the entire establishment.

While we were excited about staying at a Kasbah - the actual experience was not ideal. The electricity in the room kept flickering and the heating would turn off and then start flashing several times in the night. Making for a very unrestful night.
The only available shower had no walls or curtains and the shower head sprayed water everywhere - so it was impossible to shower without flooding the entire bathroom.
The dinner was a set menu and we had only the option to select our meat without any indication of how it would be prepared. While the meal was delicious - we felt like we were somewhat trapped and didn’t have the option to pick something else.
Perhaps the experience would be different during the high season - we were the only guests at the Kasbah and would not care to repeat the experience.

If i could give this 6 stars I would. This is a one of kind location that isn't in any guidebooks I could find. But Ordinary Travel and Karim our guide knew...and boy were we in for a treat. There is so much history to this amazing location....the food had a French flair and was tasty as well.

The condition of the room is very old.

Pros: Scenic location set away from the main touristy area of Ait Benhaddou. Nice staff. Our room had an open patio with a view.
Cons: Found dinner to be a little more expensive than other places with the food only being OK compared to other places we stayed throughout Morocco.

Note: this area was impacted by the recent earthquake (the hotel was fine!) so the town seemed especially quiet and you could see that some repairs were underway. Hope more people are able to come visit this beautiful area!

Beautiful riad, comfortable rooms, food was amazing and the service was top notch!

While difficult to find it was a great overnight.
