Really i enjoy it!!

Over the past 6 or 7 years I have stayed at the Mansour Eddahbi many times....although a nice enough hotel with spacious rooms the reason I returned so often was that the pool was heated.....however Ive been twice this year and thats no longer the case....although 30 degrees weather wise the water in the pool is simply too cold to swim in. Such a shame

I stayed a short week in this hotel in late Sept - early Oct 2009, and also stayed there for 3 nights 2 years ago.

This is an enormous hotel - multiple buildings spread out in a park with real pretty swimming pools. Everything was fine for us. The room was large, with comfortable beds, flat-screened TV with a decent basic set of channels (in English, French and Spanish), etc.

I think the previous bad reviews are mostly because the place is expensive and sells itself as a luxury hotel, and some things aren't perfect. For example, in our room, the minifridge leaked abit and had started to rot out the pretty wood cabinet it was in. The shower curtain was getting old and showed abit of mold. And the light system was abit weird - when I turned off the main switch for lights in the bedroom, the toilet lights were also cut off. In addition, the front desk was competent but less warm than service you get in the smaller riad hotels.

All these things are pretty minor and the hotel was fine for a conference, but other hotels are nicer for vacations for the price I guess. It is located a 15-20 minute walk from the center of town - 5 minutes by taxi - and maybe 8 minutes walk to the train station.

I sincerely regret not having read more reviews before we left but at the last minute, we decided to take a few days out of pur trip to Casablanca and spend some time in Marrakesh. This is a city we've been to many times before and we debated staying at the Royal Mirage (which I would still return to) but then I saw the photos for the Mansour Eddahbi and thought it would be a nice change.

Serious error. It took forever to check in and then, despite a promising and modern lobby, a depressing room that has not been decorated since the 1980s. Tiles missing around the entrance, broken rings on the shower curtain, and we could smell and hear what was going on in the room above us. We asked to change but they told us it was impossible, even though the hotel was not full. Unlike most Moroccan destinations, the service was haphazard and tthe personnel barely sociable, and even small details like the shampoo left in the bathroom was a miss - it was as though someone took a handful of bottles and left them there, never mind that there were three shampoos and one moisturizer (the conditioner and shower gel must have ended up in someone else's room).

Small details but accumulated, far too many to ignore (and I haven't listed them all).

One major strong point - the kid's pools are very accessible and unlike some hotels, were really designed for a variety of ages. We really liked this feature and spent a lot of time at the pool (but don't order poolside service - both expensive and poor quality). Too bad the rest was so poor.
