My stay at this hotel was absolutely lovely. The rooms were far better than expected, spacious, clean, air-conditioned, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The hotel was gorgeous and very clean, equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable 4-night stay in October. The location was ideal, within the Medina and close to the souks, making it easy to explore Marrakech. The dining experience, especially in the yard in front of the pool, was delightful, though I would have preferred more savory breakfast options.
