Mia Mazagan Bay

Excellent location on seafront - only 20 minute stroll on promenade to the port & "Portuguese Medina" with a nearby market selling fresh fruits and snacks. Ibis Budget is only a short 10 minute walk from a large Carrefour supermarket which also sells alcohol as well as foods. Ibis Budget staff all very helpful from Reception Staff to the cleaning staff who serviced the room daily! A little "quirk" was the locking of the room from outside - insert the "keycard" into the slot before closing the door - the door will then lock upon removal of the card. If in doubt, the helpful cleaning staff will show you the procedure! El Jadida still a little corner of Morocco that the European tourists have yet to "explore" as the nearest airport is Casablanca. There is a 2 hourly train service from Casa Voyageurs with a journey time of only 90 minutes. If coming from Marrakech, book a 49 dirham (£4) advance ticket (normal price around £12) on the ONCF website - not bad for 250km trip compared to the "normal fare". Leaving Marrakech at 1450, changing trains at Casablanca Oasis station, arrival in El Jadida at 1905 with some spectacular scenery along the way in comfortable air conditioned coaches travelling at speeds up to 160km/hr! These trains run every 2 hours from Marrakech and provide a through service to Fes or by changing trains at Casa Voyageurs, Tangiers can easily be reached on the new "Al Boraq" high speed service! This part of Morocco definitely a post-Covid relaxing place to enjoy +25° temperatures in February whilst the numerous storms bring chaotic scenes across Europe!..Thankyou Ibis Budget!

I am sending this letter to thank you for the great experience I had in your hotel. I enjoyed my time at the hotel and every thing was so great and exceeded my expectations،Thank you so much fatimazahra (reception lady )for the nice work and services you provided for your customers

As most of the 20-30€ range hotels in Morocco it is not clean at all. Bathroom not clean, shower with fungus, floors with dust, rusted frames, the bed was clean…. It everything else was covered by thick dust layer accumulated through the years. Breakfasts was included in my fare and it was Moroccan which is good, but at least couple fruits options will be good to have. The staff during my stay had no idea about how to treat customers, and the difference in the treat with foreigners was noticeable (In the entire city I saw less than 3 foreigners/tourists, so they probably are not familiar with other cultures). Never disrespectful but with a distance I have never experienced before. It is ok to stay one night but check bathroom and complain if you see what I saw. I will definitely not repeat with them.
