It wasn't easy to find this place, but then we arrived after dark (had to baksheesh someone to show us where it was). Lovely, authentic riad just inside the medina. The riad is very spacious and our room (a twin) was ENORMOUS. It's probably the biggest hotel room I've ever stayed in - I could have held a hookah party... More

- Well placed signage at entrance to the Medina meant we arrived effortlessly. - A warm welcome, even using our pigeon French! - Able to eat evening meal at short notice and it was fantastic. Vegetarians catered for. Waiter was exceptionally polite and took pride in his service. Gentle live music in background. - Breakfast restful, tasty and varied. -... More

We wanted to invite our Spanish friends for a typical Moroccan feast and were recommended to the Riad Tanja. It is not a restaurant you easily come across as you are walking around, it is tucked away in the Medina behind the old American legation. Even our friends who have been living in Tangier for over a year didn't know... More

We got off to a bad start with out trip to Tangier, the direct ferry from Algeciras went to a port 1 hour drive away, we then had to wait ages for the free bus to get to Tangier which dropped us away from the port. It took ages to find the Riad, few people speak english and the taxi... More

The hotel offered a real Moroccan experience. The room was spacious and pleasant. The dining room was beautiful and the food very good. This hotel was easy to get to, just inside the Medina beside the American Legation Museum. The only drawback was trying to dine on their lovely balcony. There was a strong odor of fish from the markets... More

Just got back from a trip to Spain during which we visited Tangier. We had a guide meet us at the port and drive us to the Riad which was very close. It might be hard to find on your won but once we saw where it was I knew how to get to it. The check in and check... More

We had problems driving to this hotel, and asked several people how to get there, unfortunately most could not direct us. We finally paid someone to guide us. Access to the hotel is poor, being up numerous steps and then through an alleyway. No good for anyone with mobility issues! The hotel is small, but the rooms are reasonable size.... More

This was our first night in Morocco and I must say Tangier is not really somewhere I would recommend to go to. That said the Riad Tanja was very nice and the service was really good with one man looking after us very well, including mint tea on arrival and taking us down to a taxi and flagging one down...

If you arrive with the ferry from Tarifa, it's a short walk from the port and easy to find (signposted). The rooms were spacey and airy, well furnished and typical Moroccan style. Breakfast was a mix of European and Moroccan style, and there was plenty. At the same time, there was no room for choice or variety. Checking in and... More

Unfortunately, we read the story how they throw out the gay couple too late. Otherwise we would have not booked this Riad. They welcomed us with fruits, tea and cookies. The room was muggy and dark. The carpet was very dirty. The rest of the room was not that bad. As it is normal for a Riad, this one was... More
