"Some of the prices quoted in the information for this hotel have gone up so check with Francoise first (it may have already been changed as I write this review). This is an amazing Riad with very friendly and helpful staff (nothing was too much trouble) - it is in probably the best location in Marrakech for tourism in the older part of town. There are some great little restaurants close by as well (Jama, BlackChich and dejeuner a la marrakech) They also helped us arrange some day trips - we...

"We spent 1 week in Marrakech as a group of 8 friends. Ali and Jannat, the hosts, are extremely lovely people, very hospitable. They were only in the house in the morning to prepare our breakfast, the rest of the day was completely private. We were able to use the riad, which is actually designed for 10 people, for eight people without any other guests after prior enquiry. We would book there again at any time."

Top Marrakech Hotel Reviews

TUI BLUE Medina Gardens – Adults Only – All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"An excellently located hotel with brilliant staff and well kept beautiful gardens. The food was excellent, fresh and varied."

Kenzi Rose Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice. The Hamman was wonderful. Pools were great, food was delicious. And if I ever go back to Marrakech I’ll definitely be staying here again"

Savoy Le Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at this hotel before, so I am comparing this experience with my previous stay. The location is perfect and the hotel itself is good, but unfortunately the basic service this time was very disappointing. From the first day, both bathrooms had no toilet paper, shower gel or shampoo. We were three people using two bathrooms, yet we had to repeatedly call reception just to receive basic necessities. The most frustrating part was having to keep asking for things that should automatically be checked and replenished by housekeeping. It was only on our last night that everything was finally provided properly. I appreciate that hotels can have occasional oversights, but when the same issue continues for several days, it becomes unacceptable. Especially disappointing given that my previous stay was much better. The location remains excellent, but the housekeeping and basic guest service need significant improvement."

Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Our stay was great! The food was delicious. The pool was huge but I wish they was more entertainment on the property during the day."

Kennedy Hospitality Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean room and good staff"

Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It was very pretty, smelled so good. The staff was pleasant & I liked that the lounge next door was free for hotel guest. The food was good too. I would definitely stay here again."

Barcelo Palmeraie Oasis Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the staff were okay. Hassan one of the kitchen staff was very helpful. Most of the food was bland meaning there was no salt and no spices added to the food. They didn't have varieties of food. Some of the foods were labelled and others were not, so I couldn't eat the unlabelled ones since I didn't know what they were. All in all the food was manageable but not fantastic."
