We picked this hotel primarily for the pool area and proximity to town. The pool is freezing, so far we have seen 2 people brave the icy waters, they didnt last long. The jacuzzi is also freezing. The beds around the pool are good and comfy with lots of cushions so you can get into some interesting sunbathing positions. Service... More

Positives first Beautiful pool and surroundings, lounge area etc Clean and fresh smelling throughout the hotel Negatives - quite a few unfortunately. It's the weekend and we were maxed out at the pool area today with locals and all of their children, screaming children at that.... More

We escaped the medina and a riad for a little peace and quiet at the Sofitel. Nice grounds, great bar tender, and good bar food. Breakfast was quite good the next AM. BUsy loud buffet but once you sit down in you space to eat, the nose fades. The hotel was very busy with a Grand Prix race occupying most... More

The Hotel is a lovely building but it has problems . Our room faced the city and we were woken every night with terrible street noise and also at 4 am a blast of wailing from the Mosque. On the first day we were given a small free juice by the pool. Many of the small glasses were still by... More

I recently stayed at the Sofitel in Marrakech to escape the long winter in London having previously stayed at the property for a conference. Overall the stay was enjoyable and relaxing however the service levels are a bit schizophrenic with staff often more concerned about earning a tip than providing excellent customer service. The one exception to this was the... More
