I had a great stay at the STORY Hotel in Rabat. The hotel is perfect, quiet and away from the bustle of the Centre. The rooms are large and I was even treated to a small veranda overlooking the garden. Breakfast is a western oriental mix and I feasted, especially Harira soup. But above all I would like to thank the wonderful reception team of the hotel for their superb Welcoming: Ahlam, Bouchra, Imane and their manager Amine! A big thank you for your professionalism and your big heart!
