Our stay at Rose Noire was one of the most enjoyable in Morocco. We stayed for 2 nights in total (at the beginning and end of our trip). Jmiaa, her family and staff were extremely welcoming and warm hosts. We loved the terrace with amazing views over the Kasbah and Ouarzazate. The hotel is in an excellent location, 10 minutes walk from the centre. This is a restored Riad, with great , characterful interiors which offers an authentic stay with amazing views.  Breakfast was excellent, with the best pancakes!  Highly recommended and if we ever visit Ouarzazate we will be staying at Rose Noire.

Excellent stay and amazing interiors

Located behind the Kasbah next to the souk and mosque. Beautifully decorated, the building, public areas and rooms make you feel like you are in one thousand nights. Rooms are clean and spacious, there is a roof terrace and a dining room downstairs. The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing. You will hear the muazzin’s call for prayer loud and clear in the wee hours but it makes the place even more charming. 

A charming boutique hotel

Hotels an B&B are numerous in this little town but La Rose Noire deserves a very special note! This charming B&B offers ample bedrooms nicely decorated, breakfast on the terrace with a perfect view over the Kasbah and the valley, as well as a stork's nest atop the mosque tower, but best of all Jemmiaa's local food cooking is the best in town! In addition not only is she, and Jean-Pierre, taking great care of her clients but she also finds time to answer all questions and to support a group of needy women.
In short, the B&B is great, quiet and well managed and its beauty will please anyone entering it! 

A jewel in Ouarzazate

First of all - you need to have a lot of cash (Euros or MADs), you never know when you gotta spend it at riad - taxi both ways from/to the airport, city tax (because WiFi at the receptionist's computer & terminal didn't work, by in our phones did so we needed to go to town centre late evening extremely tired after three days excursions because we were only 10 euros short and not able to pay via card and we were back to our country the next morning...) - hence one star less - not sure about this "lie" about not working WiFi?

Otherwise, it was an awesome riad. It was clean, quiet, and friendly, and it had a good breakfast, comfortable beds, and a working toilet and shower. There was nothing not to be happy about. It is in very safe surroundings, so we were not likely to be lost around as we first thought. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks!

Very nice stay in historical riad

Having stayed in Kasbah Taourirt previously (but in a different hotel), I was somewhat familiar with its maze of alleyways.  But my taxi dropped me off near the rear of the kasbah, and the driver asked what we thought was a random stranger who just happened to be standing there how to get to La Rose Noire.  Coincidentally, that "random stranger" turned out to be the manager, so I had no issues finding the place!  Even so, it really is not as difficult to find as some people have made out in the comments.  The alleyways are well lit, and there are signs pointing the way.  But don't expect perfectly-paved streets, it is an ancient kasbah, after all.  Just enjoy the authenticity!  

Some reviewers have mentioned that they were disturbed by the call to prayer from the neighbouring mosque, although I can't say that I even noticed it!  But maybe I've just come to expect it in Morocco over quite a number of visits, and have learned to tune it out.  But use that "neighbouring mosque" as a waypoint when finding your way to the hotel - it's the only one there is in the kasbah, you can't miss the minaret.  There are two ways in to the small square in front of the mosque - the exit on the opposite side not only has a sign pointing the way to La Rose Noire, but leads to a dead end, where you will find the hotel on the left.

I'm a fan of staying in traditional places when in Morocco, so I always try and stay in places that have Berber and Moroccan artefacts and rugs as decoration, and a history, so I was not disappointed.  I will admit that the place is quite dark, but that is often the case in traditional places as it helps to keep out the scorching summer heat.  I did have to use the torch on my phone to complete the arrival form though!

My room was large and comfortable - it even came with its own 'throne', which was nice to relax in!  The bathroom seemed to be fairly new, and the shower was hot and powerful.  Breakfast was the standard Moroccan fare, lots of breads of various types,  jams, spreads, tea, coffee, juice and eggs (in my case, soft boiled).  

The only negative point I will mention is that one of my windows didn't fully close properly, and on my second night there, it got very windy.  Consequently the window was blown wide open several times during the night!  Fortunately, the aircon unit kept the room nicely warm.

They will even sell you a rug or piece of Berber jewellery if you're that way inclined.  Just keep an eye on the prices!

A nice place to stay.

My husband and I wanted to stay at the Fint Oasis because we heard it was hard to find parking and that way we could get on the road early. 

The family running Maison d'Hôte La Roche Noire is so incredibly hospitable.  They genuinely want to get to know their guests and ensure that you're enjoying their experience.  We were greeted with mint tea (of course).  We enjoyed a lovely, authentic dinner in the communal dinning room (all guest groups have their own tables).  Halfway through dinner the family began to dance and play drums, inviting us to join.  

Rooms are simple, but they're clean and the bathrooms were modern.  Would recommend. 

Nice place & Hospitable family

We stayed at Rose Noir for 1 night. First of all, almost impossible to find! Upon arrival no one was there to welcome us in french/english/Spanish, only the chambermaid in Arabic. Owner would come in few minutes she told us after we used Google translate, nut nope, owner never showed up. The room was dusty, ice-cold and the bed was like laying on a rock! Bathroom was also poorly decorated, messy and smelled funny. Breakfast was average. Overal, would not recommend anyone to stay there. 

Could be better.. 

We have a very bad experience. It's the worst Riad we had ever been. The breakfast is the worst... Nothing is fresh neither homemade... The air conditioners did not work, therefore our fiends did not sleep in the first night as it was so damm hot inside. The fotos you see on TripAdvisor or other sites like booking.com are not real. Lots of photoshop and therefore what you get is a bad experience. The way to get the hotel is a nightmare, as you can see in the fotos, the bathroom is very tinny and the water in the shower flooded.The internet does not existe. If you think it can't be that bad... look at the fotos I post with my review 

Not what we expected. Bad location. Worst breakfast in Morroco. Not what it looks like in the foros... lots of photoshop

Beware that this hotel is definitely not what You read on the critics. Fist of all, the streets that lead to it are filled with mud, dirt and no lighting (very important for people who arrive late in the evening)! There are also no signs so you’ll have to wait for your driver to lead you there, as the streets are narrow and cars cannot make it to the entrance.

The hotel itself is a dump. Very hot, the AC in the rooms doesn’t work properly. Ours was leaking inside the room, and in our friends room it didn’t go bellow 29 degrees. 

Our room resembled a medieval torture Chamber and was very dark. The bathroom was tiny, the shower was a joke. You had to hold the shower head to be able to shower, and the drain didn’t work so that meant the bathroom was flooded every day. The hair dryer only works for about 30 seconds before shutting down.

Let’s not even talk about breakfast!! There iogurt and the juices are store bought, and you have to fight with a family of flies to be able to try and eat!! Also note that the breakfast is usually serve on the terrace at the top of the building, still if they do find its resonable to serve it elsewhere, they DON’T WARN YOU WHATSOEVER!!

As you can see by now, the staff is everything but nice. Only the lady speaks (some) English and note they DONT accept VISA!! They only accept cash. The lady had the nerve to say to us that we “didn’t ask” when we panicked when we heard that we wouldn’t be able to pay with card! 

Worst experience possible! Stay AWAY!

Not worth it!

First of all, very difficult to find or get there.Construction all around. We decided to go and see if possible to find other hotels more customer friendly. asked for a restroom and were not allowed but  were charged for the room anyway. At present its not in good condition, maybe in the past
