The hotel looks nice and we did enjoy our stay here. It has a small pool and a nice small bar. Our room was good size and bathroom was nice too, The location wasexcellenet on a main road in the new city but yet not too noisy. The only issue we did have was the water pressure in the bathroom, The toilet would take a few attempts to flash everything away and it would be quite a long wait between each flush, Even the shower would take a while to get to full pressure. But besides that not much to complain hotel reception arranged a day trip for us to go Ourika Valley and we were collected from Hotel Lobby. There's shops, cafes and restaurants near the hotel. Would probably still stay here next time as wel. The price for the hotel was good.

I walked in and simply asked the price, instantly getting a 25% discount (which seems to happen often in Marrakech during off seasons). The total was 551 dh in Oct. 09. Loved my room, loved the pool area (a bit small, but clean and pleasant), loved the bar. I had just come from the horrible Hotel Oudaya, so the Nassim was a wonderful change. The front security chased away some of the street parking scammers for me, and I was welcomed at every turn. Helpful staff, secured parking, good location (5-7 mins from Fna), it felt like a prideful 4 Star Hotel. Will certainly stay again.

We stayed three days in the hotel, its a good hotel, value for money but poor management, you can stay provided you are prepared to accept checking your belongings everytime you go for shopping from the local supermarket.

They were rather mean to confiscate our soft drinks and even fruit, despite reassurance from the manager items were returned on the day of leaving.

The worst thing was that the fridge provided in the room was completely empty, not even having mineral water.

I hope you think twice and check with the management before booking

I had read such poor reviews on this hotel after booking it I was a little unsure what to expect. 3 friends & I booked to stay here for 4 nights at the end of September - we wanted a clean base to explore the city - we werent looking for anything grand, just somewhere to sleep and have a shower as we had something planned everyday we were there. We got this!

Overall the hotel could do with a refresh, but it was kept very clean, staff were all very polite and helpful. The rooms were more 3* UK standard. But there was always someone cleaning the hand rails/floors.

Reception / Room Service - on arrival and during our stay the staff were cahtty, attentive and helpful - always able to offer advise/info on any questions. Changed cash for us when we needed it. We could get our safe to work - they sent the maintenance guy within 5 minutes - he fixed it. We rang for coffeee in our room - 10 mins we had it.

Rooms - We had 2 adjoingin twin rooms, had tv [wtih english news channels], hairdryer, safe, 2 seats/table, over abth shower, toilet & bidet in bathroom. Rooms cleaned/towels changed daily. No tea & coffee making facilities. we didnt have a fridge - but our friends did - we didnt ask for one and used theres for our water! Air-conditioning seemed to work better the higher the degree setting - it was very hot - we never complained about it as we only slept there but getting ready was a hot affair in the evening, on the last night it seemed to have cooled down - so maybe it was broken?!!

Bar - used by ex-pats, locals and people form other hotels, bar itself was very dark [its call the chesterfield & referred to as the english gentlemans pub!] with tv - usually with football on. but outside by the [small] pool chairs/tables which was nice in an evening and got quite busy with the visitors from elsewhere at certain times of the evening. drinks were 25 MAD for a small beer [half to us brits] about £2 - double for a pint! wine about £10 per bottle. water about £1 [large bottle] - so pretty standard city prices. staff were great in the bar.

Pool - SMALL - riad size dipping pool rather than for swimming!!

Restaurant - not used much, dated decor, breakfast was 2 cereals, pancakes, variety of rolls, pastried, croissants, 2 jams, marmalade, butter, orang joice was freshly squeezed [but pretty tastleess as were all the oranges I ate in marrakech so it wasnt just a Nassim thing!] various dried fruit, oranges [again no taste] boiled eggs, tomato and cucumber. Coffee was awful ....... we paid for cafe au laits [20 MAD] instead which was far nicer. tea was liptons. There is an al a carte menu for lunch & dinner but if you have full or half board it is a menu or 4 starters, 4 mains and 4 deserts - 2 seperate menus for lunch and dinner. You can swap your dinner for lunch if on half board. We did try the restaurant - food was ok, nothing you write home about and althrough the service was very good and the staff trying to please once you have had one creme caramel [or flan as its called], or orange salad [sliced orange and cinnamon] then it isnt a taste bud excitor - as with most of the food I tried in marrakesh - pretty bland. The food was just ok - for how cheap it was and you cant go rwrong with a tomatoe & tuna salad ....... but you can eat cheapily in most places. i would commend the staff though for there enthusiasm to serve us and make us welcome and attend to our every request [for more wine!]

Staff - Polite, frendly, helpful

Location - in the newer part of the city - 20 mins walk to the souks or a cab ride for about 20MAD [£1.80] took 5 mins. not much of a view on tot he main street - but then I wasnt planning on sending my time in my room!

Things to note: They didnt have a lot of cash to change - so change a littel more at the airpot.

As with all my reviews - you do really do get what you pay for. I have stayed in som ebesutiful hotels and there are some fab hotels in Marrakesh . if youw ant to pay for them. Between 2 people we paid about £60 per night [so £30 pp] for half board [it was about £10 for 2 per night mroe for half board so we thought we would give it a whirl and if no good then no major loss]. I would say you have to equate it to what you'd get at home for that price .......................... then you sort of get the picture. I didnt think for £30 a night it was too bad, it was a base ............... to explore from and nothign more. We went to a fab 5* hotel before our cooking lesson - WOW it was beautiful but it was 6 times as much as we paid per night ............ so think UK 3* clean and friendly and you will know if its for you.
