    The room was cold. It's winter, and in the night it's cold. There is no way for heating. There is an AC, but we did not get a remote. The bathroom(separate) was also a bit cold, but that is not thet big of a problem. As for extras, there very quite few. No kitchen area, no microwave, no hairdryer etc. Not a big issue in this pricerange, and they were honest about it. The only issue we had was the wifi. They use wireless extenders, and they don't work well. There are multiple networks, and some of the work, some of them doesn't work well. It's not always the best idea to connect to the strongest :D But yeah, try... and one of them will actually work.

    The hotel is at a very nice location. Right next to the big square, yet in a quiet place. I also liked the breakfast. You have to wait a bit for it, but it's nice, especially as you eat it on the roof with a view. The room was clean, we were 2 people in a 4 people room, and had a lot of space. Nobody and nothing bothered us for a sec.

    Reasonable basic hotel close to Djamaa el Fna

    Some additional commission will be required if you pay by credit card. ( 10 Euro or 10 dh. I don't remember it exactly and I paid it by cash. ) No elevator, only stairs.

    Reasonable price and clean room among this class hotels although it is a bit old fasioned. Good location ( very close to Djamaa el Fna Plaza ). The reception staff was kind to wait for my check-in until 01:30a.m. due to my flight delay. Cleaned two shared shower rooms and two toilets which are enough for one floor.

    Three is no pancakes for breakfast. That's biggest disadventage of Cecil. All other things are good.

    Well kept, good location. Repainted recently. Pretty good place.

    It is as we thought it would be.,., there is hot water and a delicious, fresh breakfast. Unfortunately, several rooms are infested with bed bugs, which cause itching that lasts for several days.

    10 years ago taxis and minibuses could come to the end of the alley, now nothing is allowed into the square after 13:00 so be aware that if you are older and/or have heavy bags, you have to walk a distance. You may meet a kind of porter with a hand cart. None of this is the hotels fault :⁠-⁠)

    I last stayed here 10 years ago, some of the rooms at least have been modernised including my ensuite double, while retaining traditional decoration. My bed was more comfortable than some in Morocco. WiFi was pretty good too, I had photos to upload and that worked well with occasional fails Breakfast on the roof remains a delight of staying here. The Cecil is about 2 minutes walk from the excitement of the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, location is fantastic even if you can hear a lot of the activities and so remains the value for money :⁠-⁠) After 10 years, I am glad to have returned!
