Hotel Kamal

We stayed at this hotel during a weeks stay in Morocco. We stayed for 4 nights and the hotel was quite cheap to book, we did not know what to expect but found it to be an average 3* hotel. The staff were all very friendly and spoke good english.

The room was quite outdated but functional. There was a tv and air conditioning. The bathroom was again outdated but there was a nice shower in there.

The breakfast was very bland, the orange juice did not seem to be fresh and the pastries were quite stale.

On a positive side the pool area was very nice and there were always plenty of sunloungers available. The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk away from the beach and it was sometimes easier to just get a taxi back as it did not cost that much.

If you are on a tight budget and don't mind the outdatedness of this hotel then you will find it OK, if you want something more modern and closer to the beach then look elsewhere.

Unique Quality: Nice Pool area, Friendly Staff

We booked this hotel through travel agents because of the bargain price. We paid £200 for flights, 7 nights accomadation and breakfast. We planned to use it simply as a base to explore the rest of Morocco from.

The actual hotel is located in the centre of the resort town of Agadir on the last of the "tourist boulevards". It's a 10 minute walk to the beach crossing two busy main roads. There are a few bars and restaurants around but not an abundance. This hotel is okay for couples on a budget and singles as we found it to be quite intimate and friendly, but I wouldn't recommend it for families with older children craving independance because they can't really walk out from the hotel unsupervised.

The rooms are basic and a few have balconies overlooking the street and fewer still have balconies over the pool area. They are ensuite but the bathrooms have well worn facilities and are more functional than beautiful. The large bedrooms have simple decor with a large built-in wardrobe for storage. There are televisions in every room but you have to pay extra for them to work.

The restaurant serves basic meals - the inclusive breakfast is continental and basically consists of rolls and croissants and butter. The pool area is clean and quiet considering it is only just shielded from the street.

There are two bars which both close at midnight but they're quiet and relaxed.

Unique Quality: We met a young couple during our stay and arranged to go quad biking with them for our last morning in Morocco. We returned dusty and tired just after noon. I went to take a shower while Jonathan went downstairs for some refreshment. Halfway through my shower the lights in the room went out. I assumed it was a power cut but was disturbed by Jonathan knocking furiously on the door. I got out of the shower and he said I had to go to the pool as there was a FIRE in the hotel. I stupidly asked, "what, a real one?" to which he answered, "Erm, yes".

I dressed and went outside and the whole corridor was filled with smoke. As I walked towards the stairs, the manager of the hotel was walking in the other direction, waving through the smoke and laughing a little. On the stairs I met the couple we'd been out with - the girl was crying. I thought the fire had frightened them and was surprised to learn that it was their room that had set on fire. The fuse box IN THE BATHROOM had been exposed to moisture which caused it to short circuit and it had MELTED. All their stuff was ruined. I felt really bad because it was their first time away on their own and I started to get angry about the manager laughing in the corridor at the incident. To make matters worse, the couple had told reception three times that they were worried about loud clicks and sparks from the fuse box. On their third complaint the staff had sent a handyman up to look at it and had diagnosed the noises and sparks as NORMAL. The hotel wasn't evacuated, people were still using the lifts, the fire alarm went off for 3 seconds but was quickly switched off to avoid causing "alarm". The manager grabbed a fire extinguisher on discovering the fire but couldn't get it to work and the lad who's room it was tried to tell staff to open a window three times and ended up going in and opening it himself.

This would be a reasonable hotel but they desperately need their electrics looking at and fire safety training for all staff.

We Stayed at the Hotel Kamal in Agadir and I really loved it!!
This hotel doesnt have facilities such as gyms ,saunas and beauty rooms
However, it was a very pleasant place to stay.
Staff are very friendly
Rooms were always clean
Bathrooms are not luxurious but very functional
Perfect if you are on a budget or if you want to spend all your holiday money on shopping!!!

Unique Quality: Hotel had a good sized pool
we had a great view from our poolside room

A Lovely hotel right in the 'centre' of this sleepy moroccan town. Room was decent although one of the few not to have a balcony, hotel itself was immaculate and although bieng refurbished during our stay disruptions were at a minimum. On a late arrival we went down for breakfast and on return to our room our cases were unpacked by the cleaners and everything put where it should be ever so neat with your daily clean bieng a real clean.

Although there were only about 40 people in this 100 or so roomed hotel so service was always spot on. Friendly staff and a nice bar added to the experience with a communal area where you could chat with fellow travelers and catch up on current affairs with satelite TV.

Unique Quality: Pool was immaculate, my pictures look digitally enhanced but ensure you they are not! Travel Exchange in the hotel and small restraunt and poolside bar for snacks during the day.
