This is a classic old school property . The top view balcony rooms offer a view of the square adjacent to the Medina and views of the harbour . It’s old but a slice of history with fabulous staff

Beds could be updated

Three of us stayed two nights in late Nov 2024. Weather was mild-chilly. The corner classic colonial building (and surrounding area) was very 'lived in' and atmospheric. I was apprehensive about being between the medina and Port and was concerned about general safety in the area. But it turned out better than expected. Not a lot of tourists at the time. Most were locals -- men and women of all ages -- going about their lives. The location was ideal for transport (rail from Airport, tram terminus, buses to Hassan II Mosque, walkable sightseeing). The immediate vicinity of a small square surrounded by a bank and exchange, convenience shops, eateries was a huge bonus. Brightly lit by nearby main thoroughfare and lanes feeding into the square and above establishments. There's an open rooftop which afforded lovely views and a discrete place to have a cigarette (as women smoking in public is frowned upon, mainly by the older generation). The day and night managers were friendly and helpful as were the cleaning ladies. The ambience of the hotel was that which had seen better days but still managing to capture some of its past glory in snatches of architectural details and its service. It has no elevator but the elegant spiral staircase, comfortably wide and airy, takes you to the spacious landings of each of the four floors above. Our double rooms on the first and second floors had french doors and slatted shutters opening out onto a small balcony with cafe table and chairs. It faced onto the small square but we don't remember being disturbed by noises and would keep the curtains drawn and french doors ajar when we slept. There's a built-in wooden cupboard and two small side tables to our double bed, also a small round table with two chairs and electric kettle with tea sachets. The bathroom was functional with adequate facilities, hot water pressure.

Perfect location, near the harbour - a few blocks away and you are in the Old Medina (more of a "fake goods" medina though). The hotel has a great feeling to it, even though a little deprecated. It is like traveling back in time.

I ended up paying more than the lobby price. Considerably more. With all genius discounts applied. And since it was a no cancellation...nothing to do. The hotel staff advised me to contact them directly the next time, or via their website. This should be looked into by booking.com staff. The check-in guy was...let's say a little incapacitated. Took forever for the formalities. Just our luck, as the other two shifts were completely different. Also, credit card was not accepted, despite all info provided (even a "visa" logo on the hotel door). The POS "didn't have paper"!?!. I had to go out and take money from an ATM to pay, with the ATM commissions included, obviously.

The hotel location was good, you can walk to the mall, to Rick's cafe, even to Hassan II. It's close to train station Gare Casa Port. If you come from the train station, gare Casa Voyageurs you should pay the taxi to the hotel 10dh (1euro) if they put the taxi meter, but if you arrive at night they tried to charge us 10euro, but finally found one with 5euro. (at night they don't put the machine, so you need to bargain). The room was basic, 2 beds and bathroom, but it was very good. The breakfast was good.

Old building, so no elevator.

A wonderful, old-style, 2 star hotel property that offers incredible value, a great location and a very helpful staff - of the quality you might find at a much higher rated place. My room on 3rd floor was clean & comfortable rooms with a small balcony. At this price and in this category, Hotel Central exceeded expectations. Within walking distance of Gare d' Port railway, Hotel Central sits on a large square just inside the Old Medina walls. Yes, the area is crumbling a bit, as Casablanca plans major renovations for this district. Yet the people inside the Medina are quite friendly and the property feels quite safe & secure. The square in front of the hotel is lively during the day with small cafes, but most nights activity quieted by 9 or 10pm. The Hotel feels historic and is kept in good shape by a small, helpful dedicated team. They assisted me with lots of suggestions and even took the time to secure a local guide and restaurant reservations. My room was larger than I expected, with a comfortable bed, a small table an chair, and dark curtains to block the morning light. Housekeeping offered daily cleaning service and I also took advantage of having my laundry cleaned during my stay. The toilet / shower room ensuite is small, but also kept quite clean by the staff. Old hotels have many quirks and Hotel Central is no exception. For the right kind of guest.. it will reward you with its charm and comfort.

Water from shower often spilled onto floor in toilet area.

The staff (woman on duty at front desk during the day and man on duty early the next morning) were fabulous, very courteous and reliable. They gave me good advice and ensured that my taxi to the airport was ready at 5:30am the next morning. The location was very convenient being a short and direct walk to the train station. The room and hotel had a lot of old world charm and the neighborhood was interesting.

The electrical outlets were a little worn and I had trouble getting my charging cable to connect.

This is an old hotel but has a lot of traditional Moroccon character which I really liked. The location is fabulous. It is on the outskirts of the old medina and not too far from the mosque. The staff were also able to answer questions and organised a last minute pick up from the airport (which is definitely worth getting).

Although my room location was fabulous in that it overlooked a little puplic square and cafes, it was quite noisy during the night. This is a bit of a problem for a light sleeper.

The location was great. Very close to the Casa Port train station which is easy access to or from the airport. It was a quick walk to Rick's Cafe and a nice walk to the mosque. Our room (101) was spacious and had two cute balconies with space for two that overlooks an active square. Lots of hot water for the shower.

The square can get loud at night at odd times (like 4am) and the bathroom is very small.

The hotel was in a great location in the medina. We had a room with a view over the nearby square, which was really nice. The staff were friendly and helpful, the WiFi was reliable and the breakfast was good.

The shower worked well but the cubicle was a bit small. It would be difficult for larger people to use comfortably. There were also some bugs around the room but nothing crazy considering there aren't any screens over the windows and the age of the building.

Everything was good, except the bathroom was too small and we could not avoid the water from the shower to fall out of the bathroom. Very good breakfast and the two persons working at the reception was very nice. The owner of the hotel, Mr Rachid was very collaborative as he contacted me on WhatsApp to arrange for our trip from the airport to the hotel on our arrival in Casablanca at night.

Nothing.
