Hotel le Vieux Chateaux du Dades: "Hotel le Vieux Chateaux du Dades - Dades Gorge" Morocco Hotel Tip by Vintom

Set in a beautiful tranquil setting in the Dades gorge, the Hotel le Vieux Chateaux du Dades was surprisingly empty apart from us. Set on the side of the narrow road that runs through the Gorge and right next to a river it had marvellous views all around it and was certainly a nice enough place to stay. Yet looking at the tariff it was no more expensive then the Hotel Ali in Marrakech, which itself was cheap enough.

Our rooms were allocated to us on the lower floor of this three-floor establishment. My spacious room with a stone tiled floor had two single beds and a nice bathroom that had a shower and western style toilet. The window looked out onto the river that flowed by alongside the high imposing orange and red rock-face on the other side. The only thing it didn’t have was any electricity in the room? I wasn’t the only one as no one else had any either, on making some inquiries we found out that the electricity was supplied via the use of a generator, and as it was still light they would not be switching it on until around 6 p.m. That was fair enough, I could see everything fine, and there was no real need for any artificial light anyway.

Unique Qualities: A beautiful setting and very reasonable prices. Well worth it just for the ambiance of the surroundings.
