I stayed at the Hotel N'Fis for 4 nights in January 2012 and really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is ideally located only about 15 minutes walk from the Medina (the old town) but if you turn right outside of the hotel instead of left, you find yourself in the newer, more "European" part of Marrakech, where there's plenty of restaurants, bars and stores. The hotel is very beautiful inside, especially the courtyard/pool area, although I did think the rooms themselves were a bit of a let down after walking through the lobby, etc. — they feel sparsely furnished and the décor in them is a bit bare. However they were perfectly comfortable (the beds are amazing) and spotlessly clean. We dined at the hotel for breakfast every morning (and although it was lovely, I do agree with another reviewer re: the coffee—it was terrible! But order a cappuccino or other speciality coffee from a server. I did and it was MUCH better) and ate in the Moroccan restaurant, where the food was great. Where this property really excels though, for me, is the staff. From the moment I arrived in the lobby (my friends had already checked in) I was told to leave my bags where they were and go join my party because I was "home now". Sounds a bit corny but after two flights and a full day's traveling, I was happy to hear it. We plagued the concierge during our staff for information about a day trip, a DVD player, bus times, etc. and really they all couldn't have been more helpful. We checked out early in the morning on our last day and then came back in the afternoon for the bags, and a member of staff set them in a corner of the lobby for us, served us lovely mint tea and let us relax while we waiting for our taxi. All in all, just a great experience. Marrakech can be a bit of a crazy place especially on your first visit, and the Hotel N'Fis was really an oasis in the middle of it all. If I was going back to Marrakech, this is where I'd stay.
