Hôtel Mercure Rabat Sheherazade

This was a very nice hotel in Rabat. The rooms were quite clean. Bathroom was large with hot water. Beds were comfortable. The breakfast was quite good. They had omelets on request as well. A short walk to Hassan Tower.

I would recommend 100% please ignore all the bad comments for this hotel. The location is unbeatable it’s on the same road as the Hassan Tower which is 5 minute walk. You can also walk it to the Kasbah of the Udayas which is a must, old market, Mohammed VI tower etc. The Tour Hassan Tram station is a 5 minute walk. Carrefour supermarket is 8 minute walk. The breakfast is good there’s a chief to make you egg and many other breakfast options only negative is very limited fruit no melon or banana. Also your only allowed one free bottled of water per day which I thought was strange for a hotel.

Stayed at the Mercure as part of a tour of Morocco. The tour had booked us into 4 star hotels but we had very average and subpar experiences so were looking forward to staying at an Accor hotel which guarantees a certain level of standard, professionalism and cleanliness. How wrong was I to think that. Upon entering the room, there was a strong smell of oil based paint. The bathroom sink had ***** hair in it, shampoo and conditioner were only half full ie used, hooks for towels were broken, there were no bath towels and worst of all, there was urine in the toilet left unflushed! After raising these issues to reception, they moved us to a different room but the oil based paint smell remained. Other than that the shower had good water pressure and temperature and the hotel breakfast was quite good. Not all rooms have hair dryers. Our first room did but our second room did not. I really enjoy staying at Accor hotels but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It is not up to the usual standard of an Accor hotel.
