Salut Maroc Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"One of our favorite stays ever. Excellent location with the most beautiful views in the city. The view right out our hotel room Mogador was stunning. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great and there is a live gnawa band every night that was very fun, (it ends at 9:30) really can’t say enough about the quality of this hotel. I hope we can come back some day"
