“We had a lovely stay at Club Hotel Val D'Anfa in Casablanca”

Perfectly located beside the public beach where you can walk for miles in the sand or on the elevated boardwalk. The staff here is very nice and works hard. They keep the hotel, which is dated as it was built in the 80s and last renovated in the 90s, very clean. They literally move all the furnitur… more

Perfectly located beside the public beach where you can walk for miles in the sand or on the elevated boardwalk. The staff here is very nice and works hard. They keep the hotel, which is dated as it was built in the 80s and last renovated in the 90s, very clean. They literally move all the furniture to clean the floors and remove all cushions in furniture to clean. I would recommend getting an ocean view room on the 4th floor (which is the top floor) if you can. Great view of the ocean at all times of day. We had lovely cleaning staff on the fourth floor as well. Amina and Zinebyy did a great job cleaning our room and were very sweet and helpful while we were there. 5 stars for them! We had no problems with noise or sleeping. I'm not sure if that's because what looks like a nightclub nearby was closed/under renovation. But the hotel has heavy double doors on every balcony which serve to keep the sun out and the noise as well. We did not have breakfast at the hotel. It's 120 Dirhams per day. It's mostly carbs and pastries. There are eggs available and some fruit, cottage cheese, olives and the like. The only coffee available is nescafe instant pouches in your room or coffee that you can order at the hotel restaurant. You can order a coffee for 30 Dirhams and not get the breakfast, which is what we did. BUT we also ventured outside the hotel for coffee. If you are willing to wait until about 8am, there is a cafe just outside the hotel called Suzette where you can get coffee for 25 Dirhams. And at 730am, a very pretty dessert place half a block away called Maymana makes coffee. You may want to sit and order a pastry or other Moroccan cookies there as they have a very nice front patio area. For our first week there, pool chaises were in high demand. We were downstairs by 7am to put a bag or hat on a chair to "hold" it until we were ready. Technically, we were told the pool area doesn't open until 10am but many were there earlier than that. In our second week (last week of August), chaises were available throughout the day so not sure if we were just there at a busy time. The man who works at the pool works hard. He's there 7 days a week for 7 months for at least 12 hours a day. If you're wondering if you should bring a hair dryer, the hotel does provide one, but it is attached to the wall and you have to squeeze it with your hands to keep it working. It did the job but it was irritating. The hotel is generous with toiletries including shampoo and body gel, little soaps and they also give q-tips. The shampoo and body gel is heavily perfumed so if you think that will bother you, bring your own. The rooms are not equipped with close up mirrors for tweezing eyebrows and such so bring your own. The rooms do have a closet but with very few hangers - perhaps 6. The other furniture including the TV table and side tables do not have drawers so not the best for storage. Our room did have a mini-fridge. The hotel provides two 500 mL bottles of water per day to each room. There are definitely nicer hotels in Casablanca, but they are in the city centre. This one was right on the beach and that was the selling point for us. Whenever we needed to go anywhere far, we had hotel staff help us flag down a red taxi to get to where we needed. That's a whole other post in terms of red taxi adventures!

“A nice hotel”

We were only here one night but it was fine. The room was an average hotel room, but we did have a partial ocean view which was pretty. The pool area is lovely but the service at the pool bar was non-existent. We waited and waited for a waiter, then went up to the bar and waited some more to be … more

We were only here one night but it was fine. The room was an average hotel room, but we did have a partial ocean view which was pretty. The pool area is lovely but the service at the pool bar was non-existent. We waited and waited for a waiter, then went up to the bar and waited some more to be served. Almost an hour to get a drink, kind of ridiculous. The beach is a nice walk from the hotel and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. Breakfast was nothing special, a buffet but not exciting.

“International Business Vibe”

This hotel is in a very nice location, with excellent rooms, and right near the beach. There is a definite "international" vibe, and it seemed that many of the guests were on business. They have a lovely, however unheated, swimming pool. I could not give a 5-star rating, only because of the employe… more

This hotel is in a very nice location, with excellent rooms, and right near the beach. There is a definite "international" vibe, and it seemed that many of the guests were on business. They have a lovely, however unheated, swimming pool. I could not give a 5-star rating, only because of the employees. In general, most of the hotel staff (front doormen excepted) came across as indifferent, and the servers we had in the restaurant seemed downright unfriendly. Perhaps it is an exhausting job, trying to cater to such an international crowd. Other than that, our stay was excellent.

The balcony was nice to sit & have a coffee on. Only big issue was the bed was super firm and hard to sleep on. Also, the Basmane restaurant is attached to the hotel, and the restaurant is fantastic!
