“very nice and clean although very expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed at this hotel for five days. The hotel was what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The downside was that there was no iron or coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel is far from the city centre but near the airport. The staff were excellent and efficient. I found the restaurant very overpriced, and paid around thirty pounds for what was basically cous cous with boiled tasteless vegetables.

“Very excellent hotel - but outside town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

The place is nice, spacious and well kept. Rooms are huge and have all you will expect from a 5 star hotel, and well equipped with shower and tub, safe, internet (cable only), flat screen TV (about 100 channels, mostly French, but also US, UK, German, Spanish, Italian,...). My room was on ground floor so I had a terrace with ample furniture and grass around. Some ground floor terraces are somewhat open for insight from others, so ask for one or two floors up where there are balconies, if you require privacy.
There is also coffee machine, but beware of the pricing: one tea bag cost me 30 Dhr or 3 Euro (local supermarket was asking 11 Dhr for a pack of 25 tea bags).

The park around the buildings is extremely well kept and quite beautiful to wander around in. Pool area is huge and with all facilities. The pool is not heated though (too cold in early December)

The restaurants are all very good and the prices is reasonable (150 Dhr or 15 Euro for an average main course). Bar is cosy, but somewhat overpriced (100 Dhr or 10 Euro for one local beer and one juice). Also the business centre is OK and there is WiFi in the main areas. Both bizcentre and WiFi is free. I attended a conference and again the meeting rooms and auditorium were all fine.

There are some complains in other reviews as to the location. Some comes from the wrongful perception the hotel is trying to give (their web site has a map showing that the hotel is nearby the fortified walls around Marrakesh, and this is wrong: the walls are around the “Gardens of Agdal”, located south of the city), also by indicating that the main square of Marrakesh is 10 minutes away (only 10 minutes by car in the middle of night). But once you get to term with the location in the developing district south of the city and of the airport, you can enjoy the neighbourhood, nearby shopping centre (300 meters, including a Carrefour) and the nice restaurants and night clubs of nearby hotels.

The hotel shuttle is free and will take you to city centre, but (as mentioned in other reviews) one must insist on the driver going to the agreed spot. Also remember to make an eye to eye agreement about picking up spot and time (and don’t be angry if it is running 10 or 15 minutes late).

Room Tip: Select a room near the reception to avoid long walk. Only take ground floor if you accept that other...

“A Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

I stayed in this hotel with my wife and daughter for two nights, (10-12) November 2011, and we enjoyed our stay. The room is spacious, the services are excellent, the shuttle driver is very friendly, and the breakfast is very good.
The hotel is quite far from the city centre, but near a newly built mall if you are after shopping.
The hotel is clean and well taken care of, but I don' recommend having lunch or dinner in it. Both restaurants serve very poor food at extremely expensive prices. Apart from this go and stay there!

Room Tip: Choose rooms that overlook the gardens or swimmingpool.

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

This hotel is simply a very good compromise for people like us who were looking for a quiet hotel, not too far from "intra muros" and comfortable.
The staff is perfect, the breackfast is also very good and the restaurants are very good even if a bit too expensive.
One drawback : The swimmingpool is so cold!

Rooms are quite big and very clean.

“Absolutely fine”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Very nice hotel, clean and spacious rooms with a free upgrade on arrival. Breakfast was lovely with good selection. Outdoor area was picturesque with view of the mountains and large pool and modern outdoor area. Staff were friendly and attentive (Some reviews clearly don't account for cultural differences). The restaurant for dinner and drinks are expensive and food is average at best. Its worth the cheap taxi journey (70d) or free shuttle into town for dinner and drinks. Little is complimentary in the hotel, you have to pay for everything (spa, indoor pool, tea, coffee etc in room). However wifi is free in reception!

Room Tip: Rooms with pool view are best (third floor)
