Hotel Transatlantique Reviews

Seeing dire reviews of some of the 3-4 star hotels in Meknes, I initially booked the Ibis half way between the station and the old city but changed my booking to the Transatlantique as it had lovely gardens and pool in the photos. I stayed one night and the price was only slightly more than the Ibis. I am letting the photos speak for themselves as the hotel doesn't seem to have any recent reviews. If you want character, space and nostalgia this is the place. Ok, if you go down on all fours and check skirting boards you will find holes and marks but the hotel was built with quality furnishings and fittings which have lasted well. The bedroom I had was in the newer wing and termed superior. Classic rooms are smaller but perfectly adequate. Breakfast was very tired and unmemorable. Dinner was much better. There aren't a lot of shops or places to eat in the area around the hotel but I walked down the hill to the old town in 30 mins. Taxis are very cheap. I hired a taxi through the hotel to take me to Volubilis and on to Fez. One of the most interesting places I chose to stay during my tour of Morocco.

Although one can see that the place is past its glorious days, that‘s exactly the charme of it. Staff was very friendly, food in the restaurant good and service at the table a remembrance of days gone by. Location somewhat far from the centre, but the garden makes it a nice location to stay. We liked it!

The help from the staff was faultless, and the interior was an opulence of tiling. The room was adequate although some bath salts would have been welcome. The biggest disappointment was the meal. The fillet of bass was poorly cooked and tasteless. The garlic sauce had no piquancy and was also tasteless. The small amount of vegetables were overcooked. Breakfast was a similar disappointment. M'semn, boiled eggs and small croissant. I've eaten in petrol stations and auberge all over Morocco and this was the worst meal if been given. Everybody gives you water with your food, except here. Walk into town to eat. Cheaper and much better cooked meals are available.

Wonderful place. Quiet and perfect for relaxing by the pool. The welcome is generally good but the staff is a little "cold". Perhaps reservation linked to hotel guidelines?

A soulless hotel like hotels in this category often... Nothing to say about the comfort of the rooms and the availability of the swimming pools. A beautiful view of the medina. But an extremely noisy nightclub under our windows meant we had to change rooms in the middle of the night!!!! The staff does their job without more. The breakfast is very pleasant and the servers in the morning are rather friendly. Evening meals good.

On our tour of Morocco this was the best hotel of those hired. The beautiful surroundings as well as the decoration. The attention of the staff is also very correct. I did not give a higher score since we were given a room close to a nightclub and it was impossible to sleep due to the intensity of the sound that prevented our rest. They proceeded to change it but in the next one the sliding door of the gallery did not close properly and cold came in through the crack. They proceeded to give us another room but we lost more than an hour of our rest.

Een hotel met een super ligging. Mooi uitzicht op de stad, de kamers zijn ruim er is een balkon en de mogelijkheid om te zwemmen. Het diner was prima, er werd zelfs alcohol geschonken. Ook het ontbijt was goed verzorgd, de kamers netjes en de bedden prima in orde.

l'hôtel est un peu excentré, ce qui assure le calme mais oblige à l'utilisation du taxi (très accessible). les deux restaurants sont agréables. Celui qui est en contrebas est bon mais veut trop proposer une cuisine européenne. Les chambres sont confortables, les services tout à fait corrects. Le personnel est aimable et prévenant.

Das schöne Hotel bietet geräumige Zimmer mit bequemen Betten und gratis WLAN. Auch die Außenanlage ist sehr gepflegt und vom Pool aus hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Altstadt von Meknes. Das Essen im Restaurant ist sehr gut und ich empfehle das Hotel gerne weiter.

C’est un très bel hôtel, très bien situé proche du centre ville de Meknes. Le personnel est serviable! Avec une très belle vue. Je n’ai pas testé les chambres, juste le restaurant et la piscine. J’ai l’habitude d’y aller et je recommande vivement

Een aangenaam hotel, niet in het centrum van Meknès, maar lekker rustig gelegen. Beetje ouderwetse kamers, mooi zwembad en terras, in lokale stijl ingericht. Vriendelijk personeel, goed ontbijt. Goede uitvalsbasis om Meknès te leren kennen.

1 nachtje hier geslapen op rondreis. Oud hotel wat in de goede jaren denk ik echt een tophotel is geweest met 2 zwembaden en leuke zitjes buiten. Nu is het wel vergaande glorie, want buiten ziet het er eigenlijk niet meer uit. Onderhoud blijft een dingetje in Marokko. De kamer was niet slecht (wel erg koud). De eetzaal authentiek ingericht, maar de stoelen echt toe aan vervanging (je zakt er nog net niet doorheen). Personeel vriendelijk, ontbijtbuffet niet overmatig maar wel ok.
