2/10 Poor
Dec 15, 2024
Really terrible
The good: the hotel is less than 20 minutes walking from most of the main Marrakesh attractions. Good wi fi. The bad: everything else. Receptionists on late shift only spoke arabic and french. On the way to my room I was handed a toilet roll and a towel. I asked for and got a second one. Both well worn out. Rooms are “basic”: there is a double bed with just enough space to move around. No chair, desk or wardrobe. In a corner there is a rail with a couple of coat hangers and some shelves. My room had a narrow window set high up against the ceiling, opening onto a small court where from the noise I believe there was a boiler. Couldn’t see the sky, only the wall. After running the water a strong smell of sewage filled the bathroom, the extractor fan didn’t work and also the steam stayed in. I asked to change room and was moved to one with a large balcony window. Again the fan did not work but I could at least ventilate by opening the bedroom window. This opens on the busiest street leading to the main square, full of shops, and some shopkeepers start hawking their goods by shouting, banging and clapping their hands each night at 11:30 (23:30) and carry on until 2:00 am - yes, 2 in the morning! By the the time sleeping is possible it’s 2:30 am. Then at 6:45 comes the call of the muezzin from the loudspeakers of the nearby mosque and gradually the street noise raises again. Avoid unless you’re desperate and if you go make sure to bring towels, toiletries, deodoriser and ear plugs.
