The hotel

Clean rooms, a team guests name in their reviews, and ALMA downstairs.

In 2004, a group of long-time Casablanca friends decided to launch Yto. The hotel opened in 2006, and the idea still fits in one line from the management: “comfortable, spotless rooms in the heart of the city, at affordable prices.” Today it is the kindness of the team and the cleanliness of the rooms that guests mention most.

Rooms

Three categories, 24 to 26 m².

The same look throughout: a dark-wood headboard, a charcoal wall, a light floor, white linen. What changes from one category to the next is the floor area, the bed and the bathroom.

Restaurant-lounge

Cuisine du monde

On the ground floor, a two-level room under dozens of amber pendant lights.

ALMA serves hotel guests from breakfast onwards, and the rest of Casablanca in the evening. The kitchen leans towards Spain and Morocco, with tapas on one side and tagines on the other. People also come for afterwork drinks or a birthday.

What guests praise most

  • The team

    The most mentioned point: a kind, helpful team. The front desk orders taxis, arranges airport pickups and gives good local tips.

  • Cleanliness

    Rooms and bathrooms described as spotless, with daily housekeeping.

  • The street

    A side street in Gauthier with restaurants, cafés and a mini-market close by, and the Twin Center within walking distance.

  • ALMA in the evening

    The restaurant’s decor and evening atmosphere come up often, and so do the tagine and the pastilla.
