Hotel La Maison Blanche

Beautifully interior designed Riad in an ideal location in the historical area right next to the Morocco Club and another great restaurant. Car parking very close by. The owner Aziz was incredibly helpful. Gorgeous roof terrace breakfast. A short and lovely walk to the medina. We liked it so much we stayed again on our return journey after our road trip. I thought it was good value. Very clean.

La Maison Blanche is a lovely restored Riad. The building is beautiful and the rooftop view is quite captivating. What makes it really special is, the owner,Aziz, and his staff. They are warm and welcoming. Aziz is a remarkable man who has “worn many hats” and has a deep knowledge of Tangier, so he is a fascinating guide to the city. The only caution I have is that - like in so many roads -staying at La Maison Blanche - requires the ability to manage flights of stairs, so it is not a place for someone with poor mobility. But if you are able to manage stairs, I highly recommend it for its beauty, location, and Aziz and the staff.

So welcoming, so perfectly located, so charmingly Moroccan, such a great rooftop view (where a lovely breakfast is served)...I've stayed at La Maison Blanche two years in a row and it is just perfect. The owner is on site, always smiling and helpful in every way. The beds are comfy-cozy. A very sweet retreat.

This was our second stay at Aziz Begdouri's delightful Riad, La Maison Blanche in Tanger. It is excellently located on the edge of the Kasbah. The Riad has been decorated to a very high standard with wonderful attention to detail. We stayed in Rick Steves again. It has a wonderful, comfy bed and beautiful linen. We slept really well for the whole of our stay. Breakfast is served up on the roof terrace and is a typical Moroccan breakfast with crepes, Moroccan bread which looks like a thin crumpet, fruit, orange juice, jams, a kind of peanut butter made with Argan Oil, eggs - fried with Cumin or scrambled, plentiful coffee, tea and mint tea. Nothing is too much trouble for Aziz and his staff. We will definitely return when we go back to Tanger.

We stayed here solely based on the rave reviews on TripAdvisor and the fact that TripAdvisor rates it as the number one Hotel in Tangier. It was our last stop, after staying at Richard Branson's, Kasbah Tamadot, the spectacular Dar, Ahlam, Riyadh Fez, and Rid L'Hotel in Marrakech. Based on the ratings, I assumed this was a five star hotel, which is what we always prefer. This is strictly an average three star hostelry. Everything the reviewers say about the manager, Aziz, is accurate. He is as nice as he can be, and really tried hard, but this hotel falls way short on the details. We booked the largest room in the hotel, the Moulay Idriss, which the hotel website says is a suite. It is a bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom is very comfortable but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. Strictly three star, The bathroom is below average, because it does not have a shower. It has a bathtub with a handheld, but no shower curtain. Little details make a difference: no coffee maker in the room, a real negative. There is no Kleenex in the room or bathroom. We both had colds and needed a box of Kleenex, and they got us one, but we didn't get it until the end of our final day. They did deliver those little tiny pocket packs, but they didn't last long there was only half a roll of toilet paper. For some unknown reason they only supply one bathrobe; again, they bring you a second on request, but that should not be necessary. The room has no air conditioning. It was cool at night, which would've been fine, but the noise from the outside the hotel was loud until well after midnight so we had to keep the windows closed. I can't imagine what it would be like in warm weather. We had no hot water, which we discovered when I want to take a very rare afternoon bath. After claiming it was fixed, when it was not, I protested pretty strongly, and got the explanation that construction in the area had cut the electric line, and they had an order out with the utility company to get it fixed. That did take care of the problem, but we went a day without a water. When you arrive at the hotel you must exit your transportation down a steep hill. The Hotel provided no assistance in bringing the luggage. Apparently, the guy who could help was busy elesewher doing something else. One thing we noticed during our stay: the hotel is definitely understaffed with an older woman and a young guy tasked with doing everything. Breakfast is below average. They told us they serve breakfast on the roof, when we got there was 48° and windy, so we had it inside. A little bit of fruit, Moroccan, breads, and jam. They will bring eggs to order. They do not take credit cards,. You must pay everything in advance with a wire transfer. A few days before arrival, Aziz wrote to tell me that our payments were €20 short and then I have to pay that in cash on arrival. That €20 consisted of the two €10 payments his bank charged him for my two wire transfers. I suggested that what his bank c

I brought a group of 15 people to Morocco and Aziz made the trip incredibly special for us! He arranged transportation to and from the airport. We had delicious breakfast daily and a wonderful dinner one evening. The Riad is gorgeous and very comfortable. You will love it here! It is an incredibly special place.
