Sofitel Marrakech Lounge and Spa

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.

I have going to Sofitel since 8 years and I could not believe the terrible experience with had me and my son. It used to be a Lovely hotel with great service but I must admit that the level of service has changed a lot! This is definitely not a 5 star level of service! I booked a Junior Suite 6 weeks in advance and specifically requested a beautiful view on the garden and Swimming pool so I can check my son. Instead we had a junior suite very dark, I felt in a cave with view on a concrete roof of the parking. I mediately requested another room. We arrived at 5.30 pm after a long plane journey and my son was looking forward to jump in the pool. Instead it took 2 hours and half to check in o finally placed us in a decent room they charged us 1,500 Dirham extra per night! We were there to relax on holiday but instead we had the laundry service knocking at our door and stepped in directly inside our room without our permission at 8am! And to make sure we were not going back to relax then they called at 8.15 am to explain why they entered our room without permission! This happened also in the evening when I showered before getting ready for dinner and I heard voices in my room. It was the room service checking from inside my room if I needed something ! And just to wrapped up the quality of service: I made sure our luggage and taxi from the hotel (which is 3 times the price of a normal taxi so you would expect high service.) were ready exactly at 4.45 pm to take us to the air

The property and services were excellent. I will recommend to family and friends!

I stayed in the Sofitel lounge and spa part of the hotel. I booked the junior suite I think it was a newly refurbished room as it looked and smelt very new. The room had everything I needed. Staff were extremely friendly and also very helpful. You get free access to the So Lounge, Sofitels night club, as part of your stay. I didn't go but did sit in the garden and smoke shisha on a few nights which was open til 4am.
