"Located on a quiet street minutes away from Guéliz's many restaurants and shops, this pleasant hotel has a modern feel even though the design is essentially traditional." Full review
Fodor's
"A modern three-star hotel... popular with tour operators and large groups so is frequently booked up." Full review

Avoid rooms at the front as the street is noisy and windows are small.
Lonely Planet
"In a quiet Guéliz location near boutiques, spas and restaurants, the Caspien is cosy and personable." Full review

For maximum quiet, choose upper-floor rooms overlooking the pool, well above the restaurant and piano bar.

"This elegant riad prides itself on attentive, but not intrusive, service, and is a testament to the owners' (Robert Mars and Stephen Vincent Scarman) good taste." Full review

"This British-owned riad prides itself on service rather than decor, though it’s got plenty of carved cedar and wooden ceilings."

The rooms are equally impressive, though light sleepers may want to avoid the ground floor, especially if other guests are using the pool late at night.
