A very corporate hotel, probably excellent for business conventions, but we found it rather impersonal and definitely overpriced. We stayed at La Tour Hassan as part of a longer trip which also included the cities of Fes, Casablanca and Marrakech before travelling to the Ourika Valley. This hotel was, by far, the most disappointing and we were shocked that the additional for three days’ breakfasts plus a single half bottle of Moroccan wine, and a serving of mint tea, cost the same price as evening meals with drinks and cocktails at our superb and quite grand hotels in Fes, Casablanca and Marrakech. Our Superior Garden Room was surprisingly small and the shower was so badly designed that it flooded the bathroom. The room was furnished with only one pair of slippers and we were left with a single tiny tablet of chocolate when we returned to our room in the evening, despite it being a double room. Our overpriced and very disappointing breakfast did not even offer muesli or granola except on the first day of our three night stay. Staff were available but compared to our other hotel experiences, I can only assume that this is not a happy place to work as our interactions with staff were transactional rather than infused with the typical Moroccan hospitality we experienced elsewhere. Rabat itself is a great place to visit, especially for the art galleries but we would definitely avoid this hotel on our next visit. What a shame.
