Transatlantique hotel – Sleeping in Meknes
Hot, Hot, Hot
I stayed there some years ago, in a day when temperature reached… 46º Celsius. The hotel had a superb decoration, and a better location, with a fabulous sight over town, but the air conditioned was a nightmare: In the lucky rooms it cooled a little, with lots of noise. My children couldn’t sleep with the noise.
When I reported the malfunction to the reception, the answer was… “then turn it off”. Splendid!
Finally, they accepted to move them to another room, where things were… bearable.

A good point: the pool. First the surprise of a very deep pool; then the understanding that its deepness was the solution to keep it… not boiling. Very refreshing, but as soon as we came out the water, the wind from the desert, seemed coming from inside a oven. In Marrakesh it seems that we supported 54º, but I didn’t feel so hot as in Meknes.
The hotel was renovated, and downgraded to four stars. It must be much better now!
Address: Rue El Meriniyine, Meknes
