Hotels near Royal Theatre in Marrakech

Lovely would recommend. Cheap and cheerful. Don’t know why people are so negative about this place, I would stay here again. Clean, beds made everyday, clean towels, friendly staff. Located twenty minute walk from the square, and the souks. Off licence around the corner, which sells plenty of beer, wine and spirits. £11.00, for a bottle of wine and six beers. Highly recommended!!!

We had a great stay. Clean and nice room with comfy bed. Breakfast by the pool was great. Staffs were nice and friendly especially the door gentleman! Check-in was a bit of a pain as it took ages (lack of staff when i arrived)… we needed to rest badly but had to wait for like 20 mins. Lifts are very old and slow but luckily there wasn’t many guests so it wasn’t a burden. Ingeneral i think it was a good value hotel. We would come back!

We checked in to our deluxe room, and it was a horrible stay. First off, the deluxe room building is the furthest building away from the hotel, and by the time we get to our room, the view from our balcony is of a construction site and parking lot. Our room had a particularly strong vinegar smell to it, and we asked to move rooms. We were told that every deluxe room was sold out and we would be able to move rooms the next day. Next day comes around and we didn’t hear from the hotel. Every call to guest services took at least 3-5 minutes until someone answered or called back. We also came back to our hotel room unlocked, and it seemed housekeeping didn’t truly close our door when they cleaned it. On our last night, the A/C didn’t seem to work. We called guest services and the lady I spoke to told me that it was turned off for the whole hotel. When asked why or when will it be turned back on, she abruptly interrupts me and says I’m transferring you to the front desk. I waited for at least 2 minutes on the phone before someone from the front desk to answer my call, and he informs me that someone will come check our A/C. We love staying at different hotels in different countries and had no issues with other hotels in Marrakech, however, our stay at Movenpick was very underwhelming and staff didn’t seem to care at all. This has been a very awful experience, and hope that the hotel management can make a much better experience and improvement for others.

Dirty cutlery, noisy location and poor service…. First problem, I was staying on the four floor, which was an issue as one lift was out of action and the other two lifts are unbelievably slow. The room was dark and even with the lights on difficult to see anything without the use of a torch. Thankfully my room was facing the pool as many colleagues who also had been staying complained of noise through the night from the road, obviously in rooms that had been facing the road. I still had an 8am wake up from the building site next door though. I only had breakfast at the hotel - but found the cutlery dirty and some cutlery had some sticky residue on them. Food was ok but far from the standard I had found in some of the local restaurants. At checkout I had a problem with the laundry bill, I was offered only a 5% discount on the laundry. I ended up paying in full after being threatened by the police for taking a photo of the invoice. Once in my taxi, back to the airport the taxi driver said there is always a problem with the hotel at checkout….clearly not an isolated case. The hotel did have some old charm but very much tainted by poor service, dirty cutlery and a noisy location. Avoid.

Good service the team and attentive clean and spacious room full buffet breakfast nothing to say excellent

The hotel is amazing the staff the food the services… everything is wonderful. Essadi hotel located in te city center where everything is closed: restaurants, drug stores, coffee shops and supermarkets. I recommend it strongly and hope you will enjoy it as we did 😌

Hotel in a great location, 10 minutes walk from Djemalefna Square. The hotel is old and fairly poorly maintained, but the air conditioning has just been changed in all the rooms. The rooms are clean but could use some freshening up!!! Very nice swimming pool with a beautiful park-garden very well maintained, but old furniture around. The staff (very nice) was a bit understaffed and slow, but it's Ramadan. For breakfast it's passable but the pastries are always from the day before ... and the service is minimal. For the evening meal: go your way and for the price of the wines it's surreal!!! The staff barely speaks French (French is no longer taught in Morocco), the oldest still speak it a little!... We have been going to this hotel for more than 20 years only because it is super well placed and that we are not too difficult (having used to travel to the 4 corners of the world). But it is not even worth a 2 star from us. The management doesn't even do the minimum service, but again the location is TOP!

The hotel's location is its best feature. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping within a 5-10 minute walk of the property. Its also only about a 25 minute walk to the medina (or a 5 minute cab ride if preferred). We chose the hotel because of its location and were not disappointed with that aspect of the stay. The rooms were spacious and we had a balcony which was great, however in February the hotel does not offer AC. Marrakech in Feb can be quite warm and there were days when it was above 80 degrees. The room got quite hot with the only solution being to keep the balcony door open in the evening while sleeping. The balconies are not entirely private and it would be easy for someone to go from one balcony to another easily - all of this goes to say that this option left us feeling a bit uneasy. When asked if they could turn the AC on the hotel said flatly, no that was not possible because it was February. Hotel staff also spoke minimal English. This was fine because I have a working knowledge of French but if someone did not speak any French they would be in a bind getting themselves understood. The restaurant was fine - nothing special. Breakfasts were disappointing but dinners were adequate. We were touring the city all day most days and didn't use the pool but were told there was one on the top floor. Overall I'd have a hard time recommending this place and if I went back would certainly not stay here again.

I stayed 4 days at Riad Khabia and had a wonderful time. Communication was perfect from the first inquiry until my date of departure. Rachid got out of his way to make everything possible to ma my stay memorable. He gave me an upgrade to a superior room, organised my taxi and was great with general information about Marrakech and the country as a whole. Breakfast is great and can be enjoyed on the terrace if the weather permits. The Riad is centrally located and still of from traffic noise. I will stay here anytime again.

I have been a regular customer at the Sofitel Marrakech for over 12 years the experience has always been top class - It’s my favourite hotel in Marrakech.
