Hotel Awayou

Boumalne Dades

My stay at the Awayou Hotel. Super welcome, nice spacious room. Typical hotel. Excellent local cuisine. Beautiful terrace where it's good to have mint tea and delicious homemade pastries.

Stay at the Awayou Hotel

Lovely stop for lunch in Roses Valley, the tajines were great, we had a kefta tajine and it was delicious. We also enjoyed the turkey kebabs that were very tender. Very good value and the view from the terrasse was beautiful. Lovely hotel for a lunch break whilst exploring Roses Valley.

Perfect lunch spot

We stayed there for 2 nights. The staff was very attentive. On the 2nd day, we did a beautiful hike in the valley of the roses. Of course, at this time of the year the roses are not in bloom, but I can imagine, the colours and smell of the rosebushes. The Hotel gave us a packed lunch which was plentiful. We walked to the Gorges d'Agouti, around 13km, crossing the river several times. The rooms are basic, but comfortable, we had plenty of hot water and the showers worked well. Yes, the WiFI doesn't work in the rooms, but there was WIFI in the lounge. A pleasant place to stay in the area.

We loved our stay the Hotel Awayou. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly.  Both dinner and breakfast were plentiful and very tasty.  Dinner may have been our best hotel meal of the two week trip.  

Loved the look of the bedrooms and the local bedding (wish I had bought a pillows or a similar bedspread).

One of the staff members lead us on a 6 mile hike through beautiful scenery and gave us an opportunity to interact with locals.

Charming rooms, plentiful and tasty food

Hotel in the valley of the roses, managed by attentive and kind staff. Located in a suggestive position, suitable x to take walks in the area, but also convenient to the town. Room and bath a little spartan, but clean, however suitable for the location (mountain hotel).

Good food, great reception!

Stayed here as part of a tour. The people running the hotel were very friendly and the meals were good. The vegetarians were blown away with Berber omelettes. However the rooms were cold. The beds were small and the sheets did not fit properly.

Good food but...

Very good hotel really I spent a week in it just exceptional the personal and very kind thank you to Brahim for all it's delicious tea and tajine and your advice I would make good use of it;) I'm subscribing to you promised I'd be back soon;)

Mercyfully Away.

Stayed here as part of a tour.  First, let me say that the owners are a family and they were very, very nice and accommodating.  We enjoyed a tea preparation lesson from the patriarch of the family.  The breakfasts were delicious, and one lunch was served on one of the terraces.  I passed on the dinner but others in the group really enjoyed it.  The location is terrific, especially if you wish to hike the area, which is very beautiful.  Now to the less than stellar--the mattress was like a board.  The very thin sheet did not really fit.  Very poor quality towels.  The sink was not fastened down so it wobbled, and the toilet lid was not working properly, and the toilet wasn't fastened down either.  I never got hot water, except once for a few minutes in the sink and several others in the group also had this problem.  Wi fi worked in the very comfortable, pleasant lounge but not in the rooms.  I'm not sure what other options there are for staying in this area, but I would say that this place is what I would call very basic.

Not the most comfortable

Great hostel, ideal location, great view, nice rooms, nice shelter, great walking opportunities with guide, very pleasant.

appreciation

There is 'rustic' and then there is shoddy workmanship. Room 20 is a splendid example of the latter. I'm wondering if there is building code in Morocco because there were a couple of serious defects in my bathroom alone and they didn't look rustic either. Firstly the most worrying one was that the pedestal for the sink had not been concreted into place and wobbled alarmingly. Also some lazy person had drilled a hole as big as a fist as a home for the shower head but had changed his mind and placed the shower head below this spot. You or I would then have found some spackle and filled the hole - but not this chap. He has left it for prosterity. 
There were also cracks in the bathroom wall but then this might have been a rustic look. 
One of the taps in the wonky pedestal sink didn't work either.
There was no soap and only a container of that pink detergent goo which is horrible to use but cheap for hoteliers.
On the plus side the shower water was hot and I did have a very good shower.
The curtains on the window in the bedroom were thin and did not stop the light coming in.
The mattress did not have a cover and was just topped with a very flimsy and ill fitting bottom sheet. I found this disturbing as it brunched up in the night and I awoke to find myself lying directly on the mattress. I'm now wondering what skin disease I can expect.
The building is in a constant state of expansion so it has a very rough look. The light outside my room was not turned on when I went to my room after dinner and I was unable to see where the stairs were. Someone with a mobile phone had to turn the torch on to show me the way.
The owners are very canny and are aiming to make this into an enormous hotel over time. However might I suggest that instead of continual expansion for the sake of it, they pay more attention to the details that make a guest's stay more enjoyable?
And sorry I forgot to mention the el cheapo bathroom towels. I have never seen these coloured towels outside my mother's bathroom. Every other hotel or riad in the world has white fluffy towels.
That's what clients like.
Although there is free wifi  don't think that they have enough bandwidth as when the hotel was full of people I could
 never get on the Internet. In fact I was unable to log in for at least eighteen hours at one time. However when everyone went out I was able to get internet reception for two hours.
Apart from the above, the hotel is in a prime location for exploration of the Magoun Valley and I'm not sure how much better the other hotels in the area are anyway!
