Top Africa Hotel Reviews

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, central location"

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"The Sarova Stanley Hotel is an old fashioned downtown hotel leftover from a different era. Everything was right about the place. A beautiful facility, well cared for. Good food in the restaurants. I happened to have come down with a bad cold while in Nairobi. The staff gave me a little extra TLC. The lobby staff were particularly helpful in helping foreign visitors such as ourselves navigate the complexity of modern Nairobi."

Les Jardins De La Koutoubia

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my specious room (no special view from 103, just faced street). 1 BR Suite with living room & bedroom, 2 showers and toilet rooms. Breakfast and the one dinner I enjoyed poolside were wonderful. Enjoyed relaxing by both the rooftop pool and central courtyard pools. Only negative, the front reception tried to charge from me for a small water bottle i took from refrigerator. They said all drink in refrigerator are chargeable at my time of check out. However they placed a 1L water bottle by the tea kettle for me to use for free. When I checked in, neither the front desk, nor the bellman who helped me with luggage to the room explained the refrigerated waters were chargeable. After some arguing, they removed the 1 small water bottle charge from my final bill. I was disappointed they didn’t clearly explain this when I first arrived, and made a cheap small water bottle into an awkward incident at check out. This left a bitter taste on my overall great experience of 2 night stay."

Novotel Marrakech Hivernage

10/10 Excellent

"Great 5 night stay. Don’t read bad reviews. Only one moan, one member of staff (usually around pool bar) was really miserable. You’d think he’s not suited to the hospitality sector. Young lad around pool, he was excellent, so helpful and always smiling. Breakfast was decent, just wish they’d try and keep flies off pastries. It’s a fantastic area. A decent walk to supermarket though, that is what it is though. Cleaners brilliant too."
