Stay destroyed by worse breakfast ever

TripAdvisor rating 4.5/5

louiseokane 23/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Lovely hotel disappointing breakfast. The hotel would be fabulous if they sort the breakfast. Situated in the bar which turns into a make shift breakfast in the morning. I like to browse and find my own breakfast in the morning. Very disappointed with layout. No reason why a omelette bar or some form of hot food bat cannot be set up. My omelette was cold and burned. Butter situated far from bar. Staff are very attentive but the whole stay was destroyed by the breakfast. For £238 I expected a lot better breakfast and this was not a 5 star experience

Sirpa189932 Friends getaway - 29/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is is within a walking distance to the old town. It has beautiful gardens and pool area with superb service on pool restaurants. The room was quiet and the bed super comfortable. The spa and gym area had nice decoration and atmosphere. Actually the only service that did not work was the coffee delivery in the breakfast restaurant. Breakfast was excellent, but the table service chaotic and for some reason it was very difficult to get a cup of coffee or orange juice. Overall experience of the hotel was excellent despite the coffee issue.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. It gives us great pleasure to know that you had a pleasant experience with us and many of our products and services have met your expectations. On the other hand, we would like to acknowledge the point of your stay related to coffee delivery that did not fully meet your expectations and rest assured it will be shared with our Food and beverage departement for immediate improvement and resolution, as we continuously strive to deliver the highest quality of service Sofitel is renowned for. Thank you for making Sofitel Marrakech of choice. We look forward to welcome you back soon! Sincerely, Ahmed BENKIRANE General Manager

ifrankhan57 Business - 23/11/2019 TripAdvisor review

The room had a stench of guttering once called reception we found out the sink was blocked ! And then after the toilet wouldn't flush I was very dissapointed especially paying for a junior suite. The smell from the room the was bad I complained but nothing was really done apart from a little fragrance squirt in the room, I've been a member for along time this situation was the worst ever!!

We stayed here last week. Great location. Jama Al Fana square was an easy 10-15 minute walk. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood too. Our corner room had lovely view of the Koutoubia and Atlas mountains. Concierge was helpful with arranging trips and guides.

Beautiful property with poor customer service

TripAdvisor rating 4.5/5

Climber277868 Friends getaway - 08/01/2019 TripAdvisor review

Excited to stay at the property but was quickly disappointed by the lack of urgency by the staff and general unwelcome feeling. Made multiple requests to have the air conditioner fixed in my junior suite which was finally resolve on the 3rd night. Additional requests to have the television fixed to no resolution and I just gave up. Would not stay at this property again and would not recommend to anyone looking for 5 star service.

Lovely central hotel with charm

TripAdvisor rating 4.5/5

Joanna M Business - 15/10/2017 TripAdvisor review

Lovely hotel near the central médina in Marrakech. Heated outdoor pool with kids pool. Small crèche for kids age 4 plus. Great babysitter for 10 euros per hour for babies. Fabulous breakfast and descent room service. Opera suite large but really needs updating- online photos do not match reality. Staff hit and miss - some happy to help, other you need to push for anything. Hire the hotel tour guide for a hassle free tour of souks. Would rate 4 definitely not 5 stars.

Dear Joanna, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Sofitel Marrakech Lounge and Spa. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.

Great location. We really enjoyed our stay with the family. The service at pool restaurant is to be improved dramatically. Other than that almost perfect. We are used to stay in Sofitel hotels while traveling in Morocco. Meeting expectation of Sofitel standards, but this is not the best Sofitel hotel in Morocco.

Sofitel Marrakesh on the decline

TripAdvisor rating 4.5/5

NattyOujda Family - 20/05/2017 TripAdvisor review

My strong advice for anyone visiting this particular hotel is not to expect a 5star service. Some of the staff at check in are rude and not interested in resolving issues. Their attitude stinks. I asked to speak to a manger 6 times, he kept me waiting in the lobby for over a hour and was a no show. I have also been charged breakfast which was suppose to be included in the package. I have stayed in this hotel over 10 times and doubt I will ever go back.

Fantastic Hotel For Families

TripAdvisor rating 4.5/5

541jaceks Family - 18/04/2017 TripAdvisor review

This is a fantastic hotel for families. Great pools (one heated) both for kids (ages 10,8,3) and adults. It wasn't too crowded. Service was excellent (special thanks to the butler Zacharia and the young Concierge who had plenty of great suggestions for our family meals and trip. The hotel is outside of the medina but close enough to walk in with the kids and close to quite a few great restaurants. Overall it was a great experience allowing something of quality to both parents and kids.

Very lovely, well scented hotel in a very good location within walking distance to the Medina. Cordial staff. For me, the draw backs are: room lighting not bright enough and the hotel corridors were very cold, with no evident heating system extend therein. Otherwise, a very cosy hotel. Will definitely stay there again if I ever return to Marakkesh.

We arrived and it took ages to get your room. The rooms are dark and very dirty. The beds so old you try to hide it to put some extra tin matrasses that son't fit and you almost role out of your bed. Breakfast is great., but overall it looks more llike a cheap MTV party hotel.
