Melliber Appart Hotel

This hotel is essentially a basic business hotel, similar to those found in China. The breakfast is a buffet; while not as extensive as what you'd find back home, it's decent for a quick-service hotel abroad, as most are this size. I chose this place because of its incredible proximity to the Hassan II Mosque, making it super convenient for taking all sorts of photos.

The room was spacious, bright, and clean, with a kitchen that included a refrigerator, microwave, induction cooktop, and sink. It's very close to the Hassan II Mosque, and there's a Chinese restaurant nearby, making dining convenient.

We booked a Silver studio, and it was spacious enough for three of us. The kitchenette was handy, especially for heating milk in the microwave. The breakfast selection was quite comprehensive (milk, cereal, baguettes, cakes, whole-wheat bread, pastries, fruit, scrambled eggs...). Freshly squeezed orange juice had to be requested from a waiter. I particularly appreciated the vegetable salad and the two types of soup, which were perfect for a Chinese palate. There were also three Moroccan flatbreads (staple food) that I noticed being sold on the streets, so perhaps that's what locals typically eat for breakfast – I found them just okay. The cleaning lady tidied up daily, and during our 5-night stay, she 'automatically' changed the sheets and pillowcases on the third day. On the lobby level, walking towards the gym, there are many spaces available, including small meeting rooms, which I suspect most guests don't know about. I used the gym a few times and had it all to myself each time. Another lesser-known fact is that bus line L005 stops right outside the hotel and goes directly to various attractions/beaches along Miami Avenue, for example, for 5 MAD (it's best to have exact change for tickets), you can reach Aïn Diab beach, which is beautiful 👍. A few things that could be improved: the bathroom facilities looked a bit old, and the shower door had a minor issue and didn't close properly.

The room was just okay, and the hotel reception area was tiny, but the location was excellent, very close to attractions—just a 5-minute walk away. Breakfast was quite mediocre, which seems to be a common issue with hotels in Morocco.

The room was very average, with an unpleasant odor, likely due to the hotel being quite old.
