Dar Imlil

What a great surprise to arrive in such a nice room in this little mountain village! It was very confortable with a nice view, we had a great stay. The staff organized a guide for our hike on the day after our arrival. All worked very smoothly. We were provided an excellent picnic.

This hotel was very good - staff were immediately very friendly upon arrival - offering us refreshment and our rooms were ready straight away. The rooms were comfortable and airy. There are plenty of places on the terrace / balcony outside the rooms to sit in the sun. The location is also good - there are brilliant views of the mountains from the terrace area. Only downside is that you often have to eat all your meals at the hotel - as there are few restaurants in the village and they mostly do expensive tourist food. The breakfast was good - a selection of cereals, hot drinks, bread, eggs, pancakes, crumpets - but you have a very limited dinner selection - often tagine or tangier and if you have dietary restrictions or are vegetarian there may not be much for you to eat. Apart from this an enjoyable experience and we would likely return.

Came for yoga & hiking at end of November. Staff were kind & responsive, lit fires to keep us cosy though the sun shone non stop; loved lazing on the pretty patios. Rooms varied but ours was big & warm. Hotel has a pool, hammam & yoga room with stunning views, star gazing & hiking through the valley where we enjoyed perfect autumn colours throughout - lovely trip!

We booked in to the Kasbah du Toubkal, because our children had stayed there, and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately this top hotel suffered some damage in the dreadful earthquake that struck the region, so had to close until December. Dar Imlil is owned by the brother of the manager of the Kasbah and we were offered the Imlil room. The hotel is really atmospheric and authentically Berber. Service was excellent and the food delicious. We had a 2 day hike to the Remote Trekking Lodge, organised by the Kasbah team. This was a tough rough Hike, but really well managed by our excellent and very knowledgable guide, Mohammed, assisted By Hassan and his lovely mule Jaqualina. There is some damage around still from the earthquake, and tourism has suffered. But the Berber people are lovely and very welcoming. The whole area is safe and every visitor makes an important contribution to the economy and reconstruction efforts.

This hotel is located right beside the waterfall & right in town, but on the quieter side. There are many stairs to access the hotel and the upstairs rooms. Our room was fantastic. It was on the second floor with an amazing balcony & a great view. It was cozily decorated & very comfortable. Great access to hiking. In the summer the pool must be a great treat. It looked beautiful. Delicious tagine dinner in the hotel our first night. The staff were very gracious and helpful.

This is a great place to stay in the High Atlas Mountains. It’s a staging post for treks so there is not much around but the hotel has everything needed as a base. The food was good. Breakfast was hearty and simple. The rooms clean and tidy, not luxury but good for the location. The pool was totally freezing, must have been fresh mountain water! Our tour operator in the UK (via their Moroccan agent Karima) arranged a brilliant mountain guide called Ibrahim for a day trek. We spent time in his own home for lunch in a nearby village. We had a mule, not to ride but to carry the bags, and another opportunity to put some cash into the local community - much needed after the tragic earthquake. We felt a small tremor, which they said is normal. Next time we would like to do a stop overnight on the mountain refuge. The staff in the hotel are polite, mostly men, a reflection of the Berber culture. We always felt safe walking around the small town, but do expect a fair amount of attention to draw you into shops and cafes.
