At check-out bill was padded with extra charges for mini bar which I did not use. This has happened to me before in Morocco. Check your bill. Service in night club was extremely slow, almost non-existent. Music was so loud you had to write to order anything. Conversation was impossible. I was granted access to the smaller heated pool, which I appreciated, but was told access was normally limited to members of a special club. Considering what I paid, access to the pool, should not have been restricted. The larger pool was much less interesting.

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.

LIKED: super friendly staff and helpful, location is great, beautiful grounds DISLIKED: Not allowed to bring in outside food. One of us is Gluten Free and kids are picky eaters so options are limited at the hotel. I understand not having outside food in the lobby or grounds but in the privacy of your own room? For a 5 star resort this was very strange and we have stayed at several accor properties and are accor members. This is the first time we experinced this. If you are ok with only eating at the hotel then this place is amazing. If you like freedom to choose I would select else where.

The pool and breakfast are excellent. The staff are all very welcoming but the service can be a little poor on occasions. I felt disappointed to have to pay for all still water provided and would expect a five star to include at least one or two bottles around the pool. Location is great and it’s easy for taxis or to walk. If you are in one side of the hotel as we were the noise from a couple of nearby bars continues into the early hours and you can hear it (thank goodness for earplugs). All that said I would recommend and stay here again but a few items that a five star should address.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 expensive. The room is dull and dark. There isn’t much sunshine entering the room from the windows. Surprised to know that there was no bidet in the suite. There is a lot of not utilized space allocation in the lobby and corridors. Not the best of experience.

While we loved our stay in Marrakech, the Sofitel brand here was not up to par. The housekeeping and wait staff are very kind and service-oriented. I won’t go into the details, but I believe that upkeep needs to become first priority in order to keep the Sofitel brand to standard. The appearance and lobby feel Sofitel, the inside is Best Western.
