The hotel was a charming place with a traditional style, offering a warm and comfy stay, though the bathroom was a bit small for toiletries. The service was generally helpful but lacked a professional touch. The location was fantastic, close to major attractions and lively markets. Dining was delightful, albeit a bit pricey compared to other options. Overall, a cozy stay with great local access.

The hotel was in a charming area, with lovely rooms on the 2nd floor, albeit a bit challenging for mobility due to the steps in the heat. The spacious rooms were very comfortable, although slightly limited in movement. I felt a bit foolish for not trying the last switch in the room.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of surprises. The rooms were a real treat, but I felt a bit foolish for not exploring the room thoroughly at first and discovering it was a unique layout with the toilet located outside in a main corridor.

The dining experience was fairly good, with a variety of sweet and savory options to cater to different tastes. However, more conventional choices like English Breakfast tea and a wider range of prepared fruits could enhance the dining experience.

The hotel has spectacularly clean rooms that, despite not offering much space to move around, are by no means cramped. The inconvenience of not having direct access to the roof terrace is a minor downside. The service is phenomenal, with staff always ready to assist with any needs. The location is great, just a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el Fna square, accessible through typical Marrakech laneways. Dining options are decent, featuring local typical food and tasty cakes with good juices but with limited choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with helpful staff and a convenient location.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were beautifully furnished in a traditional style and offered all the necessary amenities, but I did notice some large damp patches and unpleasant smells in the room. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly kind and helpful. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old city center, making it easy to explore Marrakech on foot. However, the dining options were a bit limited compared to my expectations.
