Hotel De La Vallée

Het hotel ligt op een zeer mooie locatie tussen de hoge rotsen. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze doen er alles aan om je thuis te laten voelen.

Niets.

Great location, very nice big and clear room with AC and really great hosts! Walking distance to the Todra gorge

If you wish to see the Todgha Gorge before anybody else, I insist you stay here. It's the last hotel before the gorge and you can certainly be the first ones in there come dawn, provided you wake up early. We drove in at night. The new moon shrouded us in darkness, save for our headlights, so that the whole drive in, we were wondering where the gorge actually was -- figured it must be below us. Then, we arrived at the hotel, stepped out of the car and half the stars were missing from the sky. That's when it hit us: the cliff towered above us, and we were standing at its toes. It is a primal, humbling experience, the black towering over you, and when you're there at night, that close to the cliff, it almost tells you, without words: you seem to have forgotten how small you are. You feel that in your bones. You can only get that with the location which Hotel De La Vallée affords. We were a late check-in but the kitchen arranged us dinner (ask in advance if you know you'll be coming in late, they accommodated us and perhaps you too). Come morning, we look through the window and see cliff. We were out at the crack of dawn, walked 2 minutes and saw the gorge before anybody else, even the vendors. Then we ate breakfast at the hotel, sat on the terrace and watched rock climbers belay down the cliff face. By the time we were done and packing our bags, we see from our window hordes -- tour buses of thirty, forty, fifty people -- coming in droves. Lucky us, we'd already got our fix. We were out before noon, just as the mass of people began to render the road unnavigable. Thank you to the Hotel De La Vallée for allowing us the sleep at the foot of the giants, where the cliff swallows the stars.

The property was located steps away from the entrance to the gorge. The owner was very kind and helpful.

The beds were uncomfortable, the place generally feels dark and tired, and the shower would get everything in the bathroom wet when turned on.
