This new apart/hotel is well located, and all the taxi drivers I used knew exactly where it was. It is within walking distance of a number of the restaurants and bars which I usually frequent when I am on a trip to Tangier.The apartment itself is very spacious, with views from all rooms, except the bathroom. Electric shutters all worked - bringing these down at night did help diminished the noise from the streets below. There was noise from other apartments, where the people there occasionally dragged the dining chairs around. Management needs to apply felt pads on the base of the legs of these chairs; the existing plastic pads just contribute to the noise, when these people scrape the chairs around.The elevator worked. Staff on Reception were 'variable': one young lady, and one young man did understand and speak some English and were anxious to please; the security staff did not.I have one particular complaint: whilst I was staying there were two days (more or less) when there was constant jackhammering from below my apartment. The space on the ground and mezzanine floors are being fitted out for a restaurant/coffee shop - O'mar Restaurant. I did complain to Reception about this - but they did not seem to care; it did not occur to them that such a disturbance was totally out-of-order. I believe that I should be compensated for this.Beside that problem (which I would not expect to occur again) the rest of my stay was agreeable.

What was not a planned stay in Tanger, Morocco turned out to be one of the highlights of our summer holiday. We decided to stay with four kids in Appartment Hotel Rania, a modern (1 year old) building with spacious appartments. The staff was super friendly, the location very central and the appartment very convenient. A comfortable place to stay a couple of days to explore Tangers. The airco was welcome in the middle of the summer. From the appartment, it is easy to walk into the centre, with all restaurants and bars at arms length. Definitely a place where I would return.

The apartment was large, very nice, well furnished and everything worked fine. Individual room AC units allow comfortable temps everywhere all the time....

The apartment was large, very nice, well furnished and everything worked fine. Individual room AC units allow comfortable temps everywhere all the time. This unit had a washer and an "air dryer", which ended up working well. And the sun bleached the whites whiter than ever! My apartment was smoking allowed - rare to find anywhere anymore. Some are non-smoking. There is a very narrow, but nice terrace. The refrigerator is a bit small - but double (at least) the size of a mini-fridge and gets stuff really COLD and has a freezer, too.The staff was very nice and very helpful - when they could understand me. With a couple there was a struggle but with Google Translate on my phone, we got by. The ones that spoke English were more helpful, of course. But everyone was nice and always did their best to help me in any was requested.There is a restaurant at the front with inside and outside seating. I didn't try much of their food. The pizzas there (and a couple other places) only resemble what we Americans call pizza... they are round and cut into pie shaped slices. Any other resemblances are coincidental. It is nice to sit outside with a cold drink, though!

Really impressed with Rania. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The apartment itself is of a good size, very clean and was very suitable...

Really impressed with Rania. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The apartment itself is of a good size, very clean and was very suitable with young children (once glass table tops were removed by staff). Kitchen facilities were more than adequate - a couple of pot stands would have been useful, although we bought one very cheaply in the medina. Shutters significantly reduced noise from the street, although this was not as loud as other parts of Tangier. There are lots of local bakeries and supermarkets. Boulangerie la poste down a side road the near the post office, the other side of the main road was by far the best and Istanbul supermarket ripped me off- twice! We would happily stay here again.
