We stayed here as part of a 3night/4day Shara tour. We read that Tomboctou was one of the two better hotels to stay at. Nothing flash from the street - it seems as if they have a base from which to put together a good hotel. The rear pool area was nice enough although the pool was ridiculously over-chlorinated (needed... more

This place gets quite some praise in the guidebooks but I can only agree to the previous comment here that the food was the worst on the entire trip. It was Christmas day and there was a special Christmas menu but it wasn't anything special at all, it was even far below average. Why put French Fries on the menu... more

We had had some problems booking this hotel directly. The owner wanted our credit card emailed or payment into a third party bank account. We refused due to security worries but after a couple of phone calls, we obtained his personal guarantee that the rooms would be available without prior payment. We arrived after a long drive from Ourzazate and... more

We hadn't expected too much of this place but the room was fine (very high ceilings, nice bathroom), the food good and the staff friendly. We also had a good trip up the Todra Gorge by going early evening - so most of the touts had given up for the day. Perfectly OK for a one night in-transit stop. more

We stayed in this hotel through a small 5 day tour we booked through Morocco-Explored.com. Tinerhir is a cool city, with vast palmeries, old kasbahs and a really nice, laid-back vibe. Very close to the Todra Gorge. Hotel Tomboctou has a decent restaurant. The rooms (en-suite) had high celings, but were small and dark. There was a nice pool, but... more

Upon arrival at this Kasbah/Hotel, I wondered if we had made a grave error in selecting the Tomboctou. The neighborhood is typical of small Moroccan towns and the appearance from outside was not impressive. But after passing through the tunnel like entreway, we discovered a pleasant place to spend the night. The rooms were adequate with a comfortable bed and... more

My wife and I stayed here two nights in late September whilst we explored the surrounding region - the hotel was almost empty! Room was very good, clean, spacious, excellent bed, aircon and fans. Pool was welcome relief at end of day. Staff were helpful almost to point of being over helpful (my cousin can get you a very good... more

Tinerhir is a city whose atmosphere I liked, with a kind of "last frontier" feeling to it. This is also true for the Kasbah Tomboctou, in a sense. This really is an old kasbah, not a look-alike as others in the city, so it was a good experience to once stay in a building made of mud, with a feeling... more

beautiful hotel, built to look like an old fort - with a swimming pool and meals served in a tent. we went in the middle of winter with no other guests, and the staff were very accomodating. convenient location within walking distance of the city centre and markets and with its own locked and secure parking lot a couple blocks... more
