A cute little gem in the medina of Tangier. The owner was super friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. Breakfast was refreshing and the terrace views were amazing. The only issue, our room was very humid which made it slightly uncomfortable to sleep in. Otherwise, it’s a great place and we would come back.

The staff at Riad Arous Chamel was wonderful! Rachid made our stay feel like home and easy for us to navigate since we did not speak much of the local language. Breakfast was delicious, the hotel is gorgeous, and our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend if you are staying in Tangier!

The Riad was hard to find. I hurt my leg on the trip and they were not really willing to help. We cut our stay short with them and went elsewhere. It was very cold in there and no heater. It was just a bad experience for us.

4/10 Fair

If you’re a fan of bad services, broken promises, nagging and inconvenient accommodations, then this place is for you! Be prepared to haul your luggage about half a kilometer to the Riad. Up and down stairs and hills. That’s really not bad. But when you arrive, you might get talked over by reception. Breathe deeply and let them show you your room. There will be no bathroom in your room. You’ll need to go down to the bottom floor, navigate a narrow stairwell with winding uneven height stairs in the middle of the night if nature calls. Don’t worry, you can hang a towel over the peephole in the bathroom door if you need privacy. If you’re really high maintenance and you don’t like the broken window in your room, your accommodated with a curtain that you can pull over the broken glass. We had to catch a flight and were leaving at 8:30 am the following morning. A taxi was arranged for the transport and that WAS perfect. Breakfast was supposed to be served for us at 8 since we were leaving early, a very nice gesture and we appreciated it. When we got to our table, the kitchen staff refused to give us our breakfast. The manager on duty went in to talk to the cook, she must have told him to leave, because he did. He told us that we wouldn’t get breakfast. Anyways, beautiful experience. Highly recommend this to people that I dislike.

Well-located traditional riad in the heart of the old city. You definitely have the feel of living in someones home. The bed was not the most comfortable, but breakfast on the roof was lovely and the people who run the place are friendly and attentive. Would stay again.

This is such an authentic experience. You won't get the flatscreen HDTV, you won't get the laundry service, you won't get the other amenities in a regular hotel. You get the real experience - narrow stairs, beautiful riad living, and a roof-top view that is to die for. If you are expecting a super comfortable bed, the easiest location to find, and a 24/7 concierge, go somewhere else. This is the real deal - prepare for real Tangiers living!

The property which is a traditiional riad and located within a wall with very narrow passageways certainly gives one a taste of living in a Madina. Difficult to find.

Was disappointed by the lack of heat and that the internet only worked in the communal area and not in the room. Its a nice building. And the management and staff are nice people. Just wasnt as welcoming as the other riads i stay at during my one week trip. Met some nice people who were staying there. Also the breakfast and the scenic rooftop was nice.. however no eggs. Just bread butter, jam and juice and tea/coffee. Was pricier than all the other riads i had been too and i went to some nice ones

Quaint and beautiful. Perfect introduction to Tangier and the Medina. Rashid recommended a restaurant called Restaurant Kasbah. It was good but obviously an arrangement for gullible tired tourists as it was overpriced by Moroccan standards.

We loved the hotel and it's location. The staff was friendly and helpful especially Rachid. You should however take the ferry from Tarifa it will take you to walking distance to the hotel. We didn't know that and took the ferry from Algeciras instead and had to ride a taxi for one hour to get to the hotel

The Riad was difficult to locate at first, but then was easy enough once you know the main street. It's in the Medina, so the main street (out to the gates of the wall) is only a few feet wide. Day time staff was not available when we arrived but evening staff was friendly and they gave us a key to both out room and the outside door so we didn't feel threatened waiting to enter to riad waiting for the staff to buzz us in, as we were in other cities. Once inside the space is beautiful and the terrace has a wonderful view of the city.
