Hotel Parador

There's something going rather weirdly wrong in the reviews below. Now, either there's another similarly named hotel that is being muddled with this one, or people have zero interest in anything other than bland, sleek, shiny rooms... Hotel Parador is a delight. Beautifully situated in the heart of the Medina and with stunning views across the valley towards the Spanish mosque. Clean and simply furnished with accents in dark wood and the most beautiful green tiles in the bathroom (which had the best view from the loo ever!). Proper door key (no ridiculous card swipe thing). The reception team were friendly and professional, and the breakfast had a good selection, including local Amizagh specialities. Yes, the pool wasn't filled but quite frankly, why on earth would you come to this stunning city to go for a swim? Would definitely come back and stay here!

I do not recommend this hotel; the staff are dishonest people. I made a reservation over the phone, but upon arriving at the hotel, a woman at the front desk tried to charge me a higher nightly rate. I then spoke with the person with whom I had originally made the reservation; he told her to honor the price we had agreed upon. In response, the woman told me to sit down and wait. I waited for nearly an hour. When I finally grew tired of waiting, I asked how much longer it would take for the room to be ready, as I was exhausted from my travels. She simply stated that the price was different now and that I would have to accept it. At that point, I stood up, grabbed my luggage, and left. It was a complete lack of respect toward a customer. These are very dishonest people; I do not recommend this hotel.
