Check in was very very slow we had completed on line check in but had to do it all again and then told to sit down and wait for our name to be called it took 45mins to get the keys! The gym is just a few machines no weights and water broken. The breakfast and pool are perfect and pool staff very helpful. It’s a good location and room was clean although tired compared to pictures and air con could have been better - we had a lovely stay (once we had a key)

The hotel is in an excellent location and is a really good hotel for no more than three people per room maximum. As some of the reviews suggests the hotel does need some attention in terms of doors and decor however this is a very minor aesthetic issue which did not bother me in the slightest. The whole tell was very clean and each of the rooms has balcony access along with a microwave and fridge. The breakfast options consisted of croissants a variety of different types of bread, salads, limited cooked options, omelettes to order, and the usual continental breakfast options. This in my opinion was ample. There is a taxi stand across the road from the hotel where both standard taxis and grande taxis are available. Has a bit of advice look at the prices in the driver's windows which are set by the government/council so that they do not rip you off with inflated prices are specific times. The swimming pool facility in the hotel was amazing and super quiet from the hours of nine up until around 12 p.m. All in all a very comfortable stay with healthful stuff for a very good price and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone as long as the small aesthetic elements do not bother you. I will be booking this again if I ever visit Marrakesh once again.

Checking was horrible. The staff were unfriendly and slow to respond to minimum request such as bed sheets. There was no parking so I paid a guy outside and I found my car damage the next morning. The room was not set up for 3 as requested and had a horrible view. Overall the dirtiest and the worst hotel I’ve stayed in in my life including poorest countries I’ve visited in Africa and South America. I typically stay at Sofitel or Hyatt but was last minute stop. It looks like the hotel was no updated in 50 years.

Unfortunately after paying well in advance upon my arrival one day later than my check in date I was told I had no reservation with them that I should go to hotels.com and ask them what happened. This is despite the fact that I self checked in via the mail and prepaid in full for 5 nights. Emails sent to them and hotels.com have remained unanswered.

Balconies are not big enough to sit out, no table and chairs, only standing room! Rooms are advertised with a double sofa bed, all rooms only have a single sofa bed. Beds very uncomfortable, lumpy pillows, bed sheets not changed all week. Gym is very basic. When I requested some teabags for the room I was told I would have to pay 80 dirhams as it was breakfast tea and only fruit teas were free. No milk also provided. Toaster at breakfast broken, food was not replenished. Not up to four star standard.

I have been coming and going from Marrakech more than 30 times now and have never been so disappointed ! The customer service at reception was absolutely atrocious ! The lady at front desk just disregarded a few of us like we were from the jungle. Arrived early cool so no problem waiting until 3pm but people were arriving after me and being checked in ? She just kept on asking me to sit and wait there’s loads of people here I said that’s fine but they have not been here before me ? Straight disregard ! Wow then to top it off the room was terrible . No air conditioning in the room it looked mad tidy the room needs crazy upgrading ! Room 303 by the way the fridge was not working I mean wow I’ve never put a review but this just had to be done ! Breakfast was complete rubbish compared to most of the other hotels in line with Novotel ! Please avoid this hotel at all costs ! It is just not worth giving them you’re hard earned money !

The staff at the hotel were all excellent and helpful, from the reception to the restaurant, poolside and the cleaning crew. I would say the decor is a bit tired, there needs to be more staff on reception at check in time as there only ever seems to be one. I had to queue for 30 mins which after a long and delayed journey was not a great experience. Also there was a planned power outage one day of the stay, it appears there were signs up mentioning this however they were in French which I don’t speak. It would have been helpful to have been notified in another way so we could have planned around it.

The hotel was very well located in the city and was within reasonable walking distance of all the locations I wanted to visit in the city. It was also 10 minutes from the airport and Gare de Marrakesh train station. The hotel was very nice and the room accommodated was lovely, comfortable and spacious. The breakfasts provided by the hotel were lovely with a wide variety of options. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned very day and 2 bottles of water provided each day along with coffee, tea and toiletries. The hotel has a very small gym (cardio equipment) and a large relaxing pool area. If I was returning to Marrakesh I would stay at the hotel again. Thank you.

Our room was dated and tired. The shower leaked all over the floor with every use and the room smelt the whole time we were there - really fishy, which we think was glue. Everything in the room has been repaired and not well! The bed was very hard. The robes were old, faded and worn out, as were the towels. The TV was good! The pool area was nice and the breakfast was good. But the worst thing was the staff, they were all rude and unfriendly and very unhelpful. They were also really slow, the reception staff were the worst. Just made us feel unwelcome

While the hotel was very nice, we were very disappointed with the transportation service they arranged for us . We requested transport to the airport very early (3:45 am) the next day. The receptionist told us it could be arranged but had to be paid in cash (approx $25). We paid, but no receipt was offered. Our cab was ready at the appointed time and took us to the airport as requested, but the driver said he had not been paid and insisted on another $25. After a brief discussion, We gave him all the Moroccan money we had and added another $7 to make up the difference. I’m not sure who benefitted from this scam, but future travelers should insist on a receipt or some kind of voucher if they plan to use this service.

Pool area is nice with comfortable seating and shade. Location is great near lots of lounges, clubs and restaurants. Fast Wi-Fi. Very good room service and everything can be ordered from the restaurant. Comfortable bed. Negatives: no chairs on the balcony and room a little like an office with grey carpet and furniture, etc. Recommended.

The staff at this hotel were wonderful and really added to the experience of staying there. Reception staff were very welcoming and went out of their way to help. The hotel's location is brilliant for exploring the city and many attractions are within easy walking distance. There are also many decent restaurants close by. The rooms at the hotel are a good size and have a degree of comfort but are extremely dated and in need of refurbishment. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower and hot water was plentiful. The bed was very comfortable, there were only two pillows however and both were in need of replacement. There was a kettle and microwave in the room and teabags and sachets of coffee were provided but no creamer which I found strange. The gym was spacious but has no fixed or free weights and the cross trainer is in need of repair. The pool area was very clean and had plenty of furniture for guests to use and this included parasols. The pool bar was very clean and there was a good selection of drinks and a decent lunchtime menu. Breakfast was buffet style and available from 7am. There was a huge range of choice and of a high quality. I really enjoyed my stay and the hotel provided value for money.

Comfy and great location. The hotel pool was being renovated which meant it was useless and took away the relaxing element of staying there. They did offer me to use their sister hotel pool but it’s was a short walk away. I would stay here again. The breakfast was good and the hotel is really arty to stay at. The room is big and comfy bed. I would suggest you stay in pool view room to avoid noise from nearby clubs / bars and cars late at night. I would stay here again. The staff are helpful.

Everything about the hotel is chic and modern so it will appeal more to some people than others. Our room was unique in our experience. The WC was smaller than in an airplane but at least had a sink for hand washing. We liked the sitting area and table. The room is non-smoking but there is an ashtray in the hallway so if you are sensitive to smoke, walking to and from the room will bother you. The staff were all pleasant, but in the restaurant it sometimes took a couple of tries to get what we wanted. The garden area is a very nice place to sit in the evening for a meal - attractive and well designed.

The hotel has a central location in the city and is a few minutes walk from the old city centre and from the never areas of the city. The hotel is just moderately comfortable and the room is not very modern. The facilities are just manageable. The swimming pool is the centre of attraction for this hotel. Breakfast is also moderately served but honestly the hotel staff other then AICHA at the reception look quite lazy. Having said all that the hotel is not a place I would not go back to or recommend to others and also i would tell travellers to not have very high hopes.

This is the 4th time I have stayed at this hotel when visiting Marrakech. Substantial differences from last visit - name change from Ups: 1. Carpet in the room - last time lino Downs- 1. Breakfast is now charged - around 8.50 per person, kids aren't free. Disappointing as free breakfast previously was not amazing but new breakfast has more items but much the same quality. If staying would recommend going to table du marche restaurant in neighbouring hotel for breakfast - cheaper and better quality. 2. Used to have free movies on television - fairly decent selection with quite a few movies to keep the kids entertained. Tried to access the three or four movies available but informed that they were pay per view. Otherwise hotel is much the same - good room sizes, fridge and microwave in room.

This site limits how long reviews can be, but some of the problems we encountered: They initially gave us a room with a completely obstructed view of the swimming pool. We had to complain to get them to move us which is not what I'd expect considering we had paid extra for a pool side view. The listing mentioned a Nespresso machine in the room which was not included and after asking, staff still refused to provide one. Staff did not restock toilet paper in the bathrooms around the swimming pool area. You had to bring your own or you'd be out of luck. Staff were allowed to bring friends and family to the swimming pool who then proceeded to play obnoxiously loud music through portable speakers and even after several complaints, staff are hesitant to confront and discourage such behaviour. Hotel staff were also very complacent and said nothing about a woman who was throwing cigarette butts on the floor instead of the ashtray literally next to her in the swimming pool area. She was chain smoking mind you so we're talking more than 10 cigarette butts. Slow service around the swimming pool. Loads of staff members around but they are slow to respond, bring menus, etc. That said, I'm positive Novotel will copy paste their bog standard response underneath this review and call it a day. However, it is up to you fellow holidaymaker to decide whether this description sounds like a four star hotel to you and a place where you'd like to spend a few days.

The hotel itself was nice but housekeeping wouldn't restock basics such as tea and coffee or shampoo without you having to ask them twice a day.

As some of the other reviews said, this hotel did not live up to Novatel standards. Breakfast was disgusting. The room was only ok. Light in the toilet didn't work, tv didn't work, air conditioning didn't work. Staff was rude. Pool is ok but the service at the pool is horrible. Staff doesn't wear uniforms, just there everyday street clothes so sometimes it's hard to tell who is working there. On a positive note, the international worked great which can be rare @ hotels in Marrakech and since I was there on business, this was important to me. The neighborhood is fantastic and the price is right. I would probably stay here again for these reasons.

Novotel Marrakech does not have the standards of a Novotel brand and is marred by very unprofessional Moroccan attitudes of customer service. Several wall sockets broken in the room and room bulbs fused despite complaints but all in vain. Breakfast service is absolutely pathetic and chaotic with not much choice. Cleaning needs to be a lot more thorough as a few guests we met contracted stomach bug after eating at the hotel. Morocco is a filthy country full of cheats and crooked people.

Breakfast was the same every day. Croissant/pain au chocolat/bread with some local options. Dates/melon/watermelon. yoghurts, cornflakes and cocopops. There was toaster and breakfast tea/earl grey.couple of cold meats. It was very hot in the room as the air conditioning wasn't working. As other reviewers have mentioned location is great. We changed some currency at the airport and near the hotel both rates were similar. There is a carrefour within walking distance. There is a small fridge in the room but no freezer. There is microwave which we didn't use. No crockeries or cutleries. Only soap dispenser in the bathroom. Toilet is separate but dispenser was broken.

Where to start. As people say, checking in process was a bit slow. Main grind would be that the person dealing with the process was constantly taking calls, those in front of the desk were lower priority. Once we were allocated room, all was good. Rooms are as described, very well designed in terms of space but a bit dated now. Very good that they have separate shower, bath tub and a separate toilet, so 2 people can use the facilities with privacy. Also had 3 beds, plus a sofa bed, and a large table. Finally a microwave and fridge were also very useful. TV system did not function in our original room, but once we complained, we were given a new room the next morning. Location is just outside the medina walled area, in Hermitage, which is a pleasant area to stay. Some restaurants very close by, as well as a Pizza Hut and Mcdonalds about 10 mins walk away. A Carrrefour supermarket is also about 8 mins walk away. Pool was not bad, better than i expected, given reviews from before. They now do provide pool towels and whilst not very big or deep, generally a good size and never got very busy. Wifi reception by pool area was good. Breakfast was mainly continental, although there was some items such as crepes and boiled eggs on offer. No real hot food, but plenty of choice. Cereals so so, did not like the taste of the milk. Juices, yogurts and plenty of croissants on offer, all replenished regularly. Also fresh bread, and coffee machine.

The hotel is in a very good location quite close to the main square. The breakfast was of good standard and all staff were very welcoming. Special mention to Mohammed Semo, the lifeguard.He was very attentive and accommodating ,making our visit at the pool side very comfortable. I would definetly recommend this hotel to people with families as its very accommodating and has great facilities.The room sizes are exceptional.

Good location in between central Marrakech market square (the souks) and Gelisse the posh part. Its about 20 mins walk to the square. It has a small pool a few cardio machines in the gym. Breakfast is traditional continental but very basic. It's opposite Sofitel where you can access their pools and facilities for 300 dh per person. Ideal for young lads but for families with little children/babies I would go elsewhere. Overall value for money it's good.

Near to both Medina and Ville Nouvelle. City tour bus (recommended, 24 hours is enough), stops right in front of the hotel. Very family friendly, so this place is crawling with kids. Building dares from 2009, but is already showing signs of age:laminate wall peeling, laminate counter warping, stains on carpet. Did like the room's organization, especially the separate toilet with a small sink. Hotel laundry costs a fortune, but there a dedicated clothes line over the bath tub, so you can do your own. Wifi is iffy throughout the hotel. Don't give up, just find a place in your room where you get 3 bars and work there. Great stay overall!
