Quick Take - Hotel Ksar Kaissar


  • Architecture. Striking and atmospheric, a real sense of place that feels like staying in a fortress.
  • Features big, tempting outdoor swimming pool-a luxury in this arid region and perfectly suited to cooling down after a drive.
  • Right on the main road (N10). Impossible to miss location makes it an easy base from which to explore the town.
  • The restaurant offers buffet dining with large portions of food, inclusive of local specialties such as harira soup, tagines, and couscous.
  • There is ample parking within the premises of the hotel, all secured. Ranging from a motorbike to a big coach tour operator, all can be accommodated inside the yard.
  • × The hotel is old. Some parts in rooms- fixtures, plumbing, furniture- are just dated and seem to be crying for replacement.
  • × Wi-Fi is powerful in the huge lobby but weak or non-existent inside the actual guest rooms.
  • × Rooms facing the main street can experience traffic noise, as the N10 is a busy thoroughfare for trucks and buses.

Rating Details - Hotel Ksar Kaissar


  • Worth the Price Slightly above average. Resort type property with pool and restaurant. Priced within the mid-range.
  • Staff Performance Friendly and hospitable-in the true Berber southern way. A little patience is required because, here, service does not run at the same frantic pace as it might in a Western hotel.
  • Location Quality Strategic gold. Smack in the middle between high mountains and desert lowlands-right in town where all the roses gather.
  • Area Right on a busy(and dusty)town street-but inner courtyards provide peace within.
  • Cleanliness Mostly okay. Just because the carpets and curtains are old does not mean they look filthy but somehow that contributes to a general feeling of stuffiness in the room.
  • Breakfast This is really where the place scores high marks. Half board dinner buffets-overflowing tables-lots varieties all dependable Moroccan home style cooking.
