Chez Messaoud: A gite in the gorge of Ait Mansour

We visited here for a mint tea stop and use the loo and say hello to the Belgium couple who were sitting here in the sun at one of the tables also have a tea stop during their cycle from Tafraoute.
I got offered a tour of the gite rooms upstairs to see the rooms that are available for staying overnight in and for the views from the roof.

It all looked clean and cheap enough at 60 dirham a person - or for full board 150 dirham a person.
Only 3 rooms but separate bathroom and toilet facilities are right there on the same floor as well.

Then its another flight of stairs to the roof for nice views up at palm tree top level looking up to cliff sides of the lovely Ait Mansour gorge that this gite and shop and tea stop place sits in the middle of.

Might be rather cold at night in winter but should be very nice in summer and a great base for walks of course.

Maison Afoulki: Apartments and rooms in a nice quiet spot

Stayed here 3 nights just recently September 2011 - would normally stay at Les Amis but was full at the time and decided to stay for the remainder of the nights - large spacious rooms and lounge area with large windows meant more air could circulate so was cooler during the day and evening and quieter away from the busy intersection outside Les Amis.

Under new ownership the rooms have been newly tiled and decorated so the place is very clean. For the environmentally conscientious this place has solar powered hot water.

Nice views from the roof for early morning and evening photos of sunrise and sunset if you wish, or just to relax up with there with a cool drink etc.

Just a few minutes walk down to the centre, or a few minutes walk up to ancient berber villages and on to Napoleons Hat at the village of Aguerd Oudad, and just on further from there are the Painted rocks.

We got a discount but usual price for a room for 2 is 250 dirham.

Hotel Les Amis: Good clean,friendly budget hotel in Tafraout centr

very clean!, the cleanest low budget hotel in town - decorated with interesting Moroccan arts and crafts which give the place character and a look that people care! - wifi, depending on reception and whether you are in a room facing the street, which is fine if its not summer with the hot sun pelting down.

Central - right in the town centre so totally convenient and being several storeys high gives good views over the town centre - theres a roof so you can sit up there, get views over the town or especially if youre enduring the summer heat there without airconditioning its a good place in the evenings to cool off.

so one let down really that fans arent provided in the summer heat - and it can average 40 degrees during the summer, day and night.

Great price at 150 dirham, without breakfast (but there are good places to get coffee and orange juice etc a few minutes away) but during the summer they dont provide fans when they should, its just far too hot during the summer which continues on like a sauna through the night!

Friendly and helpful management

Auberge Kasbah Chez Amaliya: Lovely Chez Amaliya in the Ameln valley

Beautiful hotel - really impressed by the effort put into the design and layout and decor of the place - all the staff were really nice and professional and everything and anything needed was met with a smile - from arriving late at night with the guardien opening the gates with a smile and helping with luggage from the car up the steps into the hotel to the smiles of staff when heading in for breakfast.

The rooms are set around the swimming pool area with views to the hills behind - all looks enticing both day and night!

Of course this all starts with lovely Liesbeth who has moved from her Dutch homeland to her new life in Morocco and put her dream together in a lovely spot in the Ameln valley below the famous Lion face in the rocks above.

wifi available in the foyer - swimming pool with Maroccan style salon to relax in - great decor - restaurantand bar - tasteful and very comfortable accommodation rooms - very nice views from the roof area of the Ammeln valley with its berber villages nestled below or up the side of the interesting surrounding mountains - smiling and helpful staff - good prices - privacy but warm approach and interest

Hotel Salama: revamped in stylish Moroccan style - very nice!

Excellently located in the town centre with views over the area - all recently renovated in excellent moroccan style - great designs and colours in both the foyer areas and in the rooms - nice quality furnishings and bedding in the rooms - having terrace views is nice and of course having wifi available is an excellent modcon that travellers enjoy the opportunity of when many hotels in Morocco are still working on internet connections for guests.

A competitively priced and nicely decorated restaurant is also in the hotel and so far been really happy with the pleasant staff.

Many hotels in Morocco are still not quite as clean as international travellers would like but this place has been great so far - and also with the issue of heating in Morocco its great to have airconditioning in the rooms to keep you warm along with good insulation windows and doors fitted - and cool during the hot summer months - 178 dirham for singles, 256 for doubles the price to stay here is a good competitve one giving good value for your money with what else is on offer in Tafroute. Suites are also available for 366 for 2 persons which is also good value.

Hotel Saint Antoine: Brand new - Sept 06

Very good, newly built with good pool (a bit chilly in November though).
Rooms from 390Dm. We were shown various rooms, those on the front have great views of the Lion Head cliff formation in the Alemn Valley. The ones at the back overlook the garden and pool but are good for sunsets.
Good resaurant where we had one of the best cooked tagines in Morocco, and it wasn't too expensive.

It's brand new so everything works.
Good size outdoor pool.
Good food.
Friendly, helpful staff.

Hotel Redouane: Redouane hotel

Along with the hotel Tanger, the hotel Redouane is a cheap accommodation, there is a sun terrace and it includes rooms with hot shower, the staff is friendly. The terrace offers you a good view of the town and it has a very good restaurant downstairs that offers very nice tajines with very good prices.

Hotel Kerdous: Hotel on the pass

Right on the 1.100 M high Col de Kerdous is in a former Kasbah the hotel Kerdous.
The views to all sides are stunning.
If you don't stay in the hotel, it's worth just to stopp for a glass of tea or meal to enjoy the marvellous views.
There are two restaurants and a bar.
When we visited this place in 1992, we have walked around and had a look, but the hotel and restaurants were not open yet.
