“Golden Beach Hotel Agadir”

The location is very good, close to the beach. Taxis are easily available nearby; a one-way trip to Souk El Had for four people costs around €4–5. The hotel itself was acceptable. We stayed in a junior suite with one double bed and two sofa beds. We had a partly ocean view. The room was equipped with a microwave, hot plate, refrigerator, and cutlery, but there was no kettle. Housekeeping was provided daily; however, the room would benefit from a deep clean. The curtains and the table were quite dirty — when we wiped the table with water and a tissue, it turned black. We booked half-board, which was disappointing. Breakfast was a buffet mainly consisting of pastries. Omelets were available upon request, but there was no ham or sausage. The selection included bread, cheese, a coffee machine, and Moroccan tea. Dinner was served as a daily set menu with two options, written in French. Unfortunately, the food quality and taste were below expectations. We stayed at the hotel over New Year’s Eve; unfortunately, there was nothing special organized to mark the occasion or make the evening feel festive. It would also have been more appropriate and enjoyable if Arabic music had been played in the restaurant instead of Western music, as it would have better reflected the local atmosphere. Hicham at the restaurant (I believe that was his name — the gentleman with glasses and braces) was exceptionally kind and polite. There is also a small shop conveniently located next to the hotel.

For us this was a budget trip, I was wary reading reviews on here, however having stayed here I think they are a bit over the top. The good Great location for the beach, a better one costs a lot more Large reasonably well equipped room WiFi (although it had a habit of dropping in and out) The not so good It’s tired in need of an upgrade, it was clearly top notch when built now in the shadow of more recently built hotels. Some strange omissions from facilities eg no kettle, no drainer for washing up The towels are now an off white from years of half hearted washing, lots of areas of chipped paint, signs of rust etc, clean enough but could be better. As with a lot of hotels - the on site shop is expensive, as is the on site excursions service - walk 200 metres and most trips are 20% cheaper. The breakfast - we paid once to try it - so glad it we didn’t book it everyday - not much choice or quality - much better a short walk to the beach.
