Top Africa Hotel Reviews

Palais Sebban

Palais Sebban

10/10 Excellent
"When I arrived, I was immediately enchanted by the architecture, the beautiful courtyards, and the intricate detailing throughout the property. The Moroccan style is authentic, beautifully executed, and full of character. It creates a truly memorable arrival experience. My room was located on the third floor and reflected the traditional style of homes in the Atlas Mountains. It featured a private outdoor terrace where I could relax beside a tranquil fountain. The interior design was spectacular—elegant, authentic, and rich in Moroccan craftsmanship. The staff was exceptionally courteous, professional, and attentive, always willing to do everything they could to assist us. My wife and I only had breakfast at the riad, but it was excellent, offering an international selection complemented by delicious Moroccan specialties. I had the privilege of celebrating my 70th birthday there, and the staff surprised me by singing “Happy Birthday” in French, Arabic, Moroccan, and Berber. It was a touching and unforgettable moment. My goal was to spend three nights at this riad so I could experience and photograph the souks and the Medina. It exceeded my expectations and gave me memories I will cherish. I had a wonderful experience. Roberto Linhares Architect & Photographer"
