Located in the foothills on the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou is the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou, a well-preserved clay fortified city along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in Morocco, is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture. It has earned the UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1987.

Wonderful Place We spent 2 nights in this lovely hotel and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the owner speaks good English. They welcomed us with Moroccan tea. The breakfast and the dinner were very very good, we ate at the terrace with beautiful view on the old Ait Benhaddou. The hotel is very easy to find, quiet and good for chilling after long journey, it is walking distance to old part of city. The rooms are very clean and look much better than on the website. We have been to many other hotels during our trip to Morocco and this was the hotel we liked the most. Ada, Germany

Outstanding View of Kasbah Authentique traditional atmosphere with outstanding breakfast served on the roof terrace overlooking the huge kasbah across the river. It’s a short walk to explore the kasbah. Staff was attentive, friendly, accommodating. Our room was clean and decorated nicely. Price is more than reasonable and Ait Ben Haddu is the place to stay when in this area. GirlattheCoast, California, USA

Nice place, great price and very good kitchen! We spent one night in this cozy hotel and it was really good. We spent 30 euros for a double bedroom with a beautiful breakfast on the terrace included. The view on the Kashba was great too. We also had dinner and the food and service were fantastic! everything was clean and beautiful and the people were very nice. i would go there again for sure if i will ever be back in that town!

Ali organized also trip around Ouarzazate (desert). I rent horse and mule and he explain me the story of the south of Morocco I am sure that I will be back in fews month in Ait Ben Haddou, and book again in this Hotel because Aicha the Chef prepare very very good food like the Couscous Royal… I recommend this Hotel !!!!
