A must-stay in Morocco. 5 out of 5
This property was absolutely dreamy. The best service, incredible breakfast, lovely dinner and music. The pools are gorgeous and located in a peaceful area of the city close to so many restaurants.

Sofitel Marrahech Experience
The hotel was well positioned and had a lovely garden and pool area. We had a junior suite which was very comfortable with balcony and good view. For a hotel of its status and daily charges, we were however, very disappointed with the limited restaurant choices. The pool bar/ restaurant was fine but the dinner options were very limited. We also did not like the digital menus which were difficult to load and use. We arrived from the airport at around 10.30am on the 5th October but were not able to access our room until 3pm. There was no apology offered or any attempt made to make us feel at home. I consider that this attitude was not in keeping with the perceived services offered by a 5 star hotel. The restaurant and bar service on the other hand was generally very good. In summary if asked, I could not recommend the hotel to any of my friends and would not choose to stay there again if I returned to Marrakech.

2/10 Poor

The dining experience was poor. We waited over an hour for low-quality meals, with a bottle of water costing 100 MAD instead of 7 MAD outside, feeling exploitative. The airport transfer was quoted at 500 MAD for a short ride, while a third-party service charged only 100 MAD. At checkout, I was wrongly billed 172 MAD for minibar items, leading to an awkward confrontation. Staff behavior was also problematic. Soukaina, the reception manager, was rude and dismissive, even laughing at me publicly. Additionally, my outside water was confiscated, which felt exploitative, especially in 90-degree heat. The hotel itself was not up to five-star standards, appearing worn and poorly maintained. Overall, my stay was marred by rude service, exploitative pricing, and a lack of care. I cannot recommend Sofitel Marrakech and urge potential guests to consider other options.

The property is very nice, the recepcionist were not so nice to welcome us, I asked for a luxury room with 2 beds, never change us for one bed, the bedroom did not have coffe machine, I asked every day for it, never have it, and we have the last room of the building, 7 min walk to the restaurant for breakfast

Stunning building and is high end luxury in the lobbies and stunning grounds, but room was very basic compared to the expected standards. Staff super friendly, respectful and helpful. Bed was so great and comfortable. Just felt for the price and expected 5 star experience it fell short of the mark for me.

Outstanding! Although the property is impeccable, the staff of the Sofitel is what makes this hotel a wonderful and memorable stay. Hachim at the concierge desk took care to answer all of our queries in detail (and we had many!); Nouredine at the main restaurant remembered our orders and provided top notch service. We will definitely return in the near future.
