Rose Noire

Rose Noire is definitely a beautiful find in the old medina. It is hidden away and feels like travelling back in time. The rooms are nostalgically beautiful and resemble a chamber from Game of Thrones. The old sandstone house is tastefully decorated in Berber, african and Jewish ornaments - It feels like a museum. The rooftop is a wonderful place to perch and watch the pelicans nesting whilst enjoying the buffet breakfast. The staff are wonderful and it feels like a family home. Such a nice retreat and only a short stroll from the Old Jewish Synagogue museum, The Taourirt Kasbah and rooftop restaurants. There is parking about 50m away and a porter can be organised to help with the luggage.

This is the perfect place to stay in Quazazate Morocco for travellers seeking a full authentic experience. It is a delight and well worth the effort to find its tucked-away location (but well known to taxi drivers). Large rooms plus bathrooms and stacked with warm, heavy blankets (our’s was a winter trip)… set around a central well in an old neighbourhood and house. Roof-top terrace with stunning views of the neighboring countryside, giant Berber kasbah… and nesting storks on the neighbouring minaret. Good breakfast. A must.

A nice experience. The hotel is lovely with many details that are delightful. Only we were charged €20 per person for a dinner we took at the hotel on the roof terrace! This is far more than we have paid anywhere else, and the cook (who also does breakfast) is quite surly and unpleasant. You will do better at nearby Restaurant Douyria where both the service and food are excellent and even with wine comes to about the same price.
