Hotel Akabar is conveniently located in the Hivernage area, making it easy to walk to nearby attractions. The Medina and Jemaa el-Fna square are about a 15-20-minute walk away, while Nobu, Theatro, and the Casino are even closer, around 5-10 minutes. Rooms are clean and equipped with good blackout curtains; some guests have noted that the rooms can be quite small. Certain rooms, like 206, offer pleasant views of the front of the hotel.

Clean Hotel with Convenient Access

convenient locationexcellent servicepleasant vieweasy taxis
The hotel offers a convenient location within a short walk to both the old town and the resort areas. Sarah at reception was helpful, providing excellent service. I had a good room on the second floor, which gave me a pleasant view of the hotel front. I found it easy to get taxis right outside the hotel (a definite plus).
The hotel has a strict policy against bringing outside food and drinks, including water, into the hotel.

reasonable location and service

friendly staffclean roomordinary breakfastwater policy
staff was really friendly. the room was clean and tidy. i slept very well even though its on a big street. it's ok that is not a new hotel, but it was neat.
breakfast was ordinary and not worth the price. signs everywhere tell you cannot bring food, and you can't bring water in. this is bizarre because i need to drink bottled water. you can have bottled water but only if you buy theirs.
