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

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
