"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

La Mamounia

10/10 Excellent

"Big spacious suite and balcony. The toilet is a bit of a “cramped area”. You come to stay here and you relax immediately. It’s so calm and pleasant. The pool is huge and the area is very nice and so quiet. It’s an oasis. All the staff was so nice and friendly and helpful except for the checkout. The lady was not smiling, didn’t ask how our stay was (4 night stay) and when we asked if we could change 200 MAD she just said no we can’t do it. I would’ve expected her to say let me see if a boutique might be able to change it for you or tell us where we could go to change it. But no, she didn’t offer any solution. And no nice goodbye. It felt rushed is so very different than what we experienced the days before. So it left a bit of a sour taste to what was a very sweet stay. So I would say- it’s an oasis and you will feel relaxed just walking in. The pool area was the best and the staff in the pool area were very nice. The food is overpriced. The room- we had a suite was perfect. I’ve never slept so good, you can’t hear a thing and bed is very comfortable."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Marrakech Carré Eden

"Clean room and good staff"

Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech

10/10 Excellent

"11/10 — An Exceptional Hotel Experience Mövenpick Marrakech is truly more than a hotel—it is an experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The hotel is beautifully maintained, extremely clean, and every detail is taken care of. The staff are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need, and their genuine hospitality makes you feel truly welcomed and cared for. The breakfast is one of the richest and most impressive I have ever experienced. The variety is incredible, everything is fresh, and the quantity is never an issue—the dishes and plates are constantly replenished. There are also live cooking stations, which make breakfast feel like a complete dining experience rather than simply a hotel buffet. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and immaculate, and the hotel offers excellent amenities. The pools are exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained, making them perfect for relaxing. The lobbies are huge and elegant, with lovely touches such as chocolate tasting and a dedicated Moroccan tea station. Everywhere you look, there is attention to cleanliness, comfort, quality, and service. I would honestly rate this hotel 11/10. It exceeded my expectations in every way. From the incredible staff and spectacular breakfast to the beautiful amenities and immaculate surroundings, Mövenpick Marrakech is truly more than amazing. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it."

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."
