I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Argana in Agadir! The entire staff from the front desk to housekeeping were incredibly kind, professional, and always smiling. They made our stay so comfortable and welcoming. A special thank you to the animation team who made my daughters’ experience unforgettable they had so much fun every day and felt truly happy. The food was also great breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious and varied. The warm atmosphere and great service made this trip very special for us. We’re definitely coming back!

Visited Hotel Argana in May 2025, first time in Agadir and was very pleased with the choice of hotel. The hotel has beautiful original features, the rooms were spacious and clean.
Evening entertainment was top form and accommodated the younger audience, they had so much fun, the daytime activities were also very good.
The Restaurant staff were very accommodating, the kept 'on top' where it came to resetting tables, refreshing food and drinks, would like to give a special thank you to Abdul for his kindness in making sure we had somewhere to sit.
Would also like to thank the hotel reception, especially Mohammad (Security)
Everyone was so friendly - shop vendors, restaurants etc.,
Also the hotel has their own 'spot' on the beach.
Would definitely recommend Hotel Argana.

Review of Hotel Argana, Agadir
We stayed here for a week (Saturday to Saturday) and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing overall.
Transfer:
The airport transfer provided by the hotel was terrifying. The driver was erratic, often straddling lanes on the motorway, ignoring speed limits and speed bumps, and with the check engine light clearly illuminated. The vehicle did not feel safe to travel in and certainly wasn’t what was described when booking.
Hotel & Rooms:
The hotel itself is dated and in need of serious maintenance. Our first room had a patio door that wouldn’t close properly and a loose bathroom door handle. We had booked a garden view room (as reviews warned against the poolside), yet were given a poolside room instead – the equivalent of trying to sleep in a nightclub, which is impossible with a 1-year-old.
When we raised this with reception, we were told to come back later. On returning just before lunch, we were told we were “too late” and had to come back at 10am the following day. Another sleepless night. The next morning at 10am we were again told to come back at 12:30pm for a new room. Why this couldn’t be resolved the first night, or why our original booking wasn’t honoured, remains a mystery.
Our second room brought new problems: a shower door that wouldn’t close (causing flooding unless we built a “dam” of towels), a cracked toilet seat, and despite being “further” from the pool, the noise was still intrusive.
Location & Surroundings:
Leaving the hotel is exhausting. From the moment you step outside you are constantly harassed – from people selling fake sunglasses and “genuine” goods, to children asking for water or money, and street sellers trying to put bracelets on you. The hotel advertises a private beach, but in reality it’s a 15–20 minute walk through constant hassle. Once there, the “private” section for Hotel Argana guests is even more run-down than the hotel itself.
Agadir itself feels very much in the early stages of trying to be a tourist destination. Unfortunately, the dirty streets, the smells, and the unrelenting pressure from locals keep you trapped in your hotel. Even trips out left us bored, unsatisfied, and always on guard for the next scam or hassle. The souk was the only highlight, but even there you cannot stop for a moment without being surrounded.
Positives:
The hotel staff were generally nice and tried to be helpful, but the systemic issues with the hotel and the area outweighed their efforts.
Conclusion:
As a seasoned traveller, I would not recommend Morocco, and certainly not this hotel. Even on the flight home, we found ourselves swapping “war stories” with other holidaymakers whose experiences were just as bad, if not worse. Sadly, this was a holiday we were counting down to end rather than enjoying.

I genuinely don’t recommend Hotel Argana Agadir to anyone looking for a comfortable or respectful stay.
The first room we were given had a strong, unpleasant smell and a leak in the bathroom. This was already known by the staff as after opening up the cabinets under the basin we find towels all over the floor from before. We asked to be moved and were given a second room — only to find that the tap didn’t work and the door didn’t even close properly. We ended up staying awake the whole night because we didn’t feel safe. The third room had spiders crawling around, and it wasn’t until the fourth room that we found something halfway decent. By then, the frustration had already ruined the experience.
The service was just as bad. The male staff member working the night shift was incredibly rude and dismissive. He clearly favoured those who he was able to talk to in his language. We waited over 30 minutes just to exchange £20 while he deliberately helped other people who arrived after us. When the electricity in our room went out for 20 minutes, his only response was, “Someone is coming.” No apology, no urgency — just indifference.
To top it off, the hotel has a ridiculous policy of not allowing any outside food. So if you’re hungry and the restaurant is closed, you’re simply out of luck. Not exactly the kind of hospitality you’d expect from a place that claims to be welcoming.
Overall, poor rooms, poor service, and poor management. Save yourself the stress — stay somewhere else.
