Grand Hotel Villa de France

Shades of the past, piano music, live and recorded to accompany your meal experiences, vibes of Casablanca came to mind. A duplex building is now in front of the pool, so the advert picture is of yesteryear. My duplex was fine with views to the Straits of Gibraltar. The staff were helpful and efficient in providing taxi transfers. The restaurant has lost its atmosphere and choice of dishes from what I remember of stays in 1970s. For a 5 star establishment, breakfast leaves room for improvement. Cat lovers might be a little perplexed or distressed by the strays in and around. Overall, a pleasant sejour and the sunshine is for free.

We loved this hotel, its was a truly elegant oasis of calm on the fringe of the medina. Our family of 5 stayed in two rooms, one with an extra bed added. They were spacious and pristinely decorated. The pool was divine, from the soft towels provided, to the pool guys who made sure you had loungers. The yummy lunch served pool side was also divine, and the cocktails! The staff could not be more friendly and arranged early check in and later check out at no cost. We felt transported back in time to a Hercule Poirot era. Don’t go for one of the soulless modern hotels - book this for elegance, style and location! Very Moroccan/French and insta perfect!

Beautiful old hotel at the top of the old Medina in Tangier. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food was good. Rooms were comfortable. Everything gave you an old world feel. Loved it!

We recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Villa de France and were fortunate to be looked after by Safae. She was an amazing host and truly made our experience special. Her customer service was exceptional — warm, attentive, and professional throughout. As visitors from England, we really appreciated how fluent she was in both French and English, making communication effortless. Safae went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, always with a smile. She is a real credit to the hotel, and we cannot thank her enough for making our stay so memorable. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Villa de France and was impressed by its historic charm and stunning views of Tangier. The rooms are elegant and comfortable, blending classic style with modern amenities. The staff is attentive, and the breakfast on the terrace is a true highlight. Perfect for those seeking a blend of history and luxury in the heart of Tangier. Highly recommended

From start to finish loved my stay here had a superior room with 3 big widows facing the old town the views were amazing and the room big with bath and large bathroom comfortable king size bed and overall large room.|Breakfast included was nice and fresh and ate at the hotel the first night and the meal was exceptional. The pool was good not too cold and relaxed for a few hours around the pool. Definitely will return as Tangier has something most towns don't a bit of attitude and history. Brilliant staff printed my boarding pass and lovely every time and booked taxi back to airport for me too.

Great location for visiting the medina and other sights in Tangier. We had a lovely room that looked over the pool. Comfy bed and nice large room. |Breakfast was great, fresh fruit juice and Moroccan bread with plenty of meat, cheese and hot food.|The staff in the restaurant, reception and the porters were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived a little early but we were able to check in which was very much appreciated.

I love this hotel. It’s very homey. Younger and older staff are all extremely kind. Particularly the Staff at breakfast. Comfy bed, Charming rooms, Excellent showers, Pleasant Pool, Location is spot on. I’m always looking forward to coming back. This is my second time and there will certainly be a third one. Yes, of course it’s not a real five stars, but the price is absolutely reasonable for what you get.
