Review: Adrar Hotel
The Adrar Hotel is an ageing structure without the slightest pretension. However, as a guest you will feel at home here. The good will of the staff probably plays an important role in this. The rooms have all been renovated, and really stand out thanks to their bright colours. Touches of very kitsch decoration give the hotel a unique and unusual character.

Agadir city centre is 1,312 ft away. The hotel surroundings do not make you want to take a stroll, as the hotel itself is located on a very busy avenue on which many characterless hotels are located. The transfer from the airport, a distance of approximately 15 mi, takes about 30 minutes by car.
Just opposite the hotel entrance is a 1970's nightclub that also welcomes non-residents. Like the hotel, this too is an ageing establishment where the smell of tobacco smoke has taken firm hold.

Built in 1978 and renovated in 2005, the Adrar is comprised of two 5-storey buildings set at right angles. Guests are welcomed into a big lobby with surprising decor, including zebra-striped sofas. The mixture of styles is both disconcerting and amusing. Just next to the reception there is a Moroccan lounge where a pianist plays in the evenings in the bar adjoining the reception. In the middle of the swimming pool, which is 32.80 ft in diameter, a DJ plays music from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. A large concrete terrace winds its way around the complex. There are no parasols in sight; in order to find some shade you must seek refuge beside the amphitheatre that surrounds one half of the swimming pool. There are deckchairs on the lawn.

In total the hotel has 170 large rooms, including 10 suites. They have all been renovated. A lift gives access to the various floors. In order to reach your room, you will need to take long, dark corridors with few redeeming features. Once inside your room, the colours burst out all around you: the walls have recently been repainted in yellow and blood orange, and the tiled floors are white. When night falls, only a low level of lighting is provided. The rooms have balconies and are furnished with small armchairs, a telephone with an international line, a television (big screen) and air conditioning. Room service is available from 4:00 am to 11:00 am, then from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. The bathrooms are built into the corner and are fitted with a bathtub and a bidet, soap is also available. Try not to dwell on the finishing touches. The toilets are separated.

With its low ceiling painted in pale pink and bright apple green, the only restaurant (buffet service) in the Adrar offers very little choice. It is open from 6.00 am until 10.00 am, then from 12.00 pm until 3.00 pm, and for dinner from 7.00 pm until 10.00 pm (with one Moroccan night a week). The midday meal is one for your taste buds to savour. If this does not suit you, you can always turn to the swimming pool snack-bar, although you will not find a wide selection of dishes or drinks on offer here either.
Agadir beach is about 1,312 ft away. It is a long beach, more than 4 mi in length, and it is often windy.
