We spent a week here from late February into early March. The hotel has a calm elegance some would say dated but we found it a refreshing change from hotels that have gone ultra modern which are often uncomfortable and not practical. It is immaculately clean, rooms nothing special but comfortable with enormous bed (larger than 6'), balcony with bench, table and chair, bathroom-could do with updating, we had to stand in the bath to turn the taps on in our room where there was an over bath shower, not very powerful but they need to conserve water, Large TV, mini bar etc.
Breakfasts were good with excellent coffee, most days it was warm enough to sit outside either in the sun or under shaded trees,. Pool loungers were always available, just a few people reserving them with various objects at the start of our stay but once the half-termers had gone this finished and wasn't necessary. Lunch can be taken by the pool and the food was good and service usually good - just slow at bringing the bill to sign afterwards. We ate in the hotel a couple of times and found the food and service very good and did not think it was overpriced for a hotel which are usually a bit more than a restaurant in town.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would stay in this area again rather than in Marrakech even though the Riads there are lovely, we loved having mature trees and gardens to look at around the pool. It is a short walk to the centre (with busy roads to cross) we usually got a small taxi for under £3.
The only downside to the hotel is that the rooms with the Atlas mountain and pool view (which we paid extra for) are opposite the Casino and nightclub which could be very noisy when people were leaving between 4 and 5 am! people shouting, cars tooting horns, etc. This was particularly bad on a Friday night when we were there, we had our balcony doors open to let in the air, it would help if the hotel improved the air conditioning which just seemed to blow but wasn't very cool. You could then shut the windows and probably not hear the noise,
We would however still consider going back to this hotel we liked the ambience and the piano bar where most nights there was a pianist and violinist. This probably appeals to a more mature clientele.

Stayed here for a three day break in Marrakech with our two teenage children. The overall feel of the hotel is "seventies" and could definitely do with a refurbishment. Our bedrooms were clean and comfortable but thats as far as it goes. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night but it was very overpriced for the quality of food they were serving. We had eaten at the Mamounia hotel the night before which was far superior and not a lot more money.
Had a massage in the hotel's Oriental Spa but unfortunately the treatment rooms smelt of bad drains and were very cramped - not the pampering experience we were looking for!!
If you just want somewhere basic to stay while sightseeing this is a good hotel but if you are looking for luxury this is not for you.

Crooks
This place has two price lists with very different prices! my wine was 110 on one and 150 on the other, what a difference. When I got the bill, they told me it didn't matter and expected me to pay the higher price (210 total). Then they let me just wait indefinitely. So I again objected and they asked for, get this, 180. I gave the correct amount 170 and walked off to a lot of insults. Tried to talk to the manager who was obviously not interested, so probably well aware of the practice! if that's how the bar is run, don't expect a fair bet in the casino! Avoid!

We stayed at this hotel for four days in November 2010 and were very pleased with our choice. Although in some ways it is more like a 4 star hotel, we preferred it to the more expensive anonomous chain experience. We had booked the cheapest room available but were upgraded to a pool view room, perhaps because there was a small amount of building work going on at the front (hidden behing a tent and I never heard anything). We arrived in the early hours of the morning because our flight was delayed but were efficiently welcomed. Breakfast could be taken outside by the pool, which was great. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and you are free to wander round to the Es Saadi Palace and the Casino which are all in the same gardens. Also ate dinner in the hotel on two nights and the service was excellent on one and ok on the second - food good on both - restaurant old school French in feel, great pastry chef! The hotel was slightly dated (the Rolling Stones stayed here in the 60s) but it was clean, comfortable and the service was five star. One or two people have mentioned noise being an issue but I never was disturbed and I'm a light sleeper. The location is also very good, near enough to walk to the souk etc. but nice to come back to the relative peace here. I would also recommend the restaurant at the Hivernage Hotel round the corner (Table du Marche), more of a buzz / younger feel and more experimental cooking.
