Que dire, un beau navire à la dérive sans direction... - petit déjeuner buffet mais vous n'avez le droit qu'à 1 seul café sans pouvoir terminer votre petit déjeuner... mais cela dépend du serveur du jour (pas de 2nd café le dimanche car la sécurité se transforme en serveur et vous explique de nouvelles règles). - des femmes de ménage qui essaient d'ouvrir votre chambre pendant que vous dormez à 10h du matin, car la réception/direction (si elle existe) ne leur dit pas que la chambre est occupée. - du bruit de travaux de peinture au pas de votre porte d'entrée de chambre sans que la réception ne vous prévienne ou ne vous change de chambre. - pas de bureau dans la chambre triple, donc impossibilité de travailler confortablement sur son ordinateur portable. - une réceptionniste souriante mais qui vous coupe toujours la parole à chaque moment de phrase, et qui vous explique qu'elle sait ce que vous allez dire... et qui vous réponds souvent à côté de la plaque (elle ne m'explique pas pourquoi le 4ème jour je n'ai pas le droit d'avoir 1 café supplémentaire, et va même plus loin en m'expliquant que c'est comme ça partout !!! ) - De minuscules cuillères en plastiques jetables partout (pour le café, pour le yaourt, etc), car on vous explique que c'est pour votre santé afin que vous n'attrapiez pas le covid en août 2023... mais que cette règle ne s'applique pas aux autres couverts en acier que l'on met également dans la bouche, comme les fourchettes !!! )
On the first day, I wasn't very well received at reception. People weren't smiling. I started to wonder if I'd made the right choice until I met Sandrine (her smile is priceless), Badar and Mohamed in the restaurant and people from the security. Otherwise, the rooms are clean, the buffet breakfast is wonderful and the late closing for a gracious morning. Beautiful view of the city and the sea, I recommend the hotel.
I stayed at the Melliber Hotel for 5 nights in June 2023. I was a female travelling alone for an architectural research trip. I felt nervous because people said I must be mad travelling alone in Casablanca. For this reason, I had purchased door locks for my hotel door etc. I never used the lock once because the hotel felt safe and welcoming. It was clean. The breakfast was yummy - it varied slightly each day, serving a mix of cold salad of olives, salads, lovely fresh bread and you can purchase omelettes as a extra. The breakfast time was between 6.30-10.30am. I advise getting there around 9am. The hotel is in close vicinity to the mosque and therefore does not serve alcohol. I packed a few mini bottles of wine in my suitcase, to enjoy on my balcony. Although I did feel guilty drinking wine so close to the mosque. The double glazing is effective and the prayer calling doesn’t wake you up, although personally, the sound of the calling is comforting. You should note that the cafes and restaurants near the hotel, don’t serve alcohol. Once you travel past 1k, it seems to be served. I recommend walking down to the Central Market for a delicious fish lunch if you enjoy a glass of wine with your food. Being a city, the traffic is noisy and the drivers enjoy beeping their horns, so you will find that an evening on the balcony is not peaceful. However, it is much quieter than the Movenpick - which I visited one day. I sat on the 16th floor for a drink and a rest, and the sound of the noisy horns seems to travel upwards - it was deafening! On the last day, I had a problem charging my battery pack and the lovely Melliber staff went to the trouble of purchasing a power adaptor to make it work. It still didn’t work in the end, but I could tell that the staff really cared and wanted to fix the problem. You should know that UK phone power banks don’t tend to charge on Moroccan power). I had a problem with the return airport driver, booked through Expedia. The Melliber team made the necessary calls for me to ensure I had a return driver. I definitely don’t recommend Sahara Tours drivers - see my separate review for this. Finally, the hotel kindly upgraded me to suite with a balcony with the view of the mosque, which I requested by email. If there is any room for improvement, it would be that the Melliber website does’t work for me in the UK - I was directed to a page with a security warning and therefore I had to book through Expedia. It would be great if the hotel could provide a WhatApp number for taking bookings because my emails kept going into their spam before arriving which was stressful. Plus I purchased a data only ESIM for Morocco, and WhatsApp works well on this. All in all, I score this hotel a 5 for the reasons above. Thank you. I will book for 7 nights next year, assuming they can contact me on WhatsApp.
A sorry example of a Novotel. Embarrassing for an ACcor brand. Reception was always unmanned. You call from the room and nobody answers. The room is below a Novotel standard. Restaurant service is embarrassing as they are always out of Coke and what you order is not available as the vegetables are out of stock. You ask directions for money exchange and a grocery and the standard answer is across the street, not really helpful. Breakfast is okay. The coffee (according to my friend) and hot chocolate are quite good.
