Wazo Hotel

Great stay. Helpfull staff, good breakfast. The pools and poolsurroundings were perfect for relaxing. The room had all that was needed. 14-20min taxi ride to the city center. Always taxis waiting outside of the hotel. The reception was open 24/7 which was great. The hotel was otherwise quiet with nice surroundings

This was the hotel our tour company used before and after a Moroccan tour - looks like many others do the same so didn't notice many long stayers. Probably explains a lot! Rooms OK but the food is not - little change day to day and mostly barely luke warm. Hotel is in the middle of no where and no local shops. There's a good booze shop 40 min walk marrakech direction or a Carrefour abot 45 mins the other way. Taxis outside if you want to get anywhere or use InDrive (27 D from Carrefour for 2). Peacocks/hens out back can be noisy 😀

Good hotel, location was a bit out of the way, good pool and children’s play areas, clean and spacious room, decent breakfast options. The only let down was the safe and bathroom fan did not work, they sent someone to fix it who couldn’t fix it so I didn’t bother with this any further. Lastly the security on the gates was asking us when we are leaving and he asked me to “leave him something”. I literally had enough money left for the taxi, when we left the hotel with our cases, he followed me to the taxi asking if I was “going to leave him something” this make it very awkward.

I want to write a fair and honest review about this place as I think it deserves a better rating than it has. We visited in march (husband and I) with my parents later joining us for my 40th birthday. Check in was a bit slow as they had a party of people checking in as part of an organised race. We got to our room finally to find that someone else was already using the room - this was quickly rectified and we were allocated another room overlooking the pool. The room itself is absolutely fine, perfectly clean and the bed was really comfortable that we both slept really well. There’s no English tv channels - not the end of the world. Food - the buffet is pretty basic. We ate there for breakfast and dinner but the breakfast was the equivalent to £6 ish so can’t complain. Pastries, eggs, bread, fruit, lots of grilled tomato and cheese. It’s nothing spectacular but you wont go hungry. The buffet dinner was similar and rushed. But then they have a lot of organised tour / parties there to cater to. There is however what’s described as an “a la carte” restaurant over the road at the apartments which you can also use. It’s fairly small but the food was really good! Tagines, Moroccan tapas, pizza, pasta and nice service. Alcohol is expensive at the hotel but it is in most places which is to be expected. The pool area is nice and clean although too cold to use the pool. There is also another pool over the road at the apartments which is bigger and has a play area for children. Location isn’t great. There isn’t much around and it is on a very busy main road. Taxis congregate outside and it’s very loud at night if you leave the doors open. There is a little shop opposite selling snacks and drinks. The receptionist Adil was really helpful and showed us some of the tours available. He arranged for us to have a driver to take us in to Marrakech which is about a 20 minute drive. Our driver Majid made our holiday. He picked us up and took us wherever we wanted to go and picked us up when we were ready to go back to the hotel. It was more expensive than a taxi but we travelled in comfort with a built in tour guide. The roads here are crazy, we felt much safer than in a normal taxi. The only issue we had was with towels. Our towels were collected by the maids (who were very nice) but when I went for a shower late in the PM to get ready to go out for my birthday they hadn’t been replaced. We asked the lady on reception 3 times for some towels and it took 50 mins for us to get any - when they arrived they were warm like they’d come out the drier. Got the impression they were limited on towels and I wasn’t able to wash my hair as I didn’t have time. We loved watching the stalks in their nest in the nearby telegraph pole, lots of cats around who looked like they were taken care of (maybe by the pet shop opposite) and there’s also a tortoise hiding down the bottom end of the building. Other than towel gate, we enjoyed our stay. The staff were frien
