We were a young student couple staying in marrakech for one week, and found this hotel to suit our needs perfectly. Staff accommodating and sufficient in English, keeping in mind it's not our mother tung neither. Rooms quite large for the price, but not in perfect condition. Slight problem with water pressure and temperature, but nothing worse than in our flat at home. The maid was quick to make up our room, but we are aficionados with the do not disturb/please clean sign as we like to go out early and come back in for a nap:) Busy road close, but not too disturbing, at least not after midnight even tough we had a room facing it. TV isn't worth turning on, but worked o.k., minibar restocked every day, but no alcohol or snacks and of course expensive. Spa looks good, and outside pool is small but not very busy when we were there. Hotel restaurant mid-range price and mid-range food, but just fine for morning coffee or tee, recommend going to the shoddy bakery a bit up the road. 2dhm for pan au chocolat! :-O Walking distance is always relative, but we managed fine getting around the whole city on foot from this hotel, including a back-track mid day. 19 bus stops there, but after going through the city from the airport, not back again, but no proper marking of stops of any kind. Tour buss also stops right in front, as the hotel is directly across from the theater and railway station. We paid 70dhm for taxi to airport for two people. Beware of tax when checking out, but this is only about 16dhm per person per night, and is almost impossible to get away from in marrakech. Tour organizer attached to the hotel is decent and mid-priced, but very convenient. More a three star deal in my mind but a lovely charging station for our tired bodies. Excellent for cheap couples;)
