Hotels near Ribat tours in Marrakech

The roads to the Riad were concerning very run down. Upon arriving Riad looked ok. We were offered mint tea and biscuits whilst checking in. The stairs to our room were very steep, narrow and lacked appropriate hand rails in places. Could be concerning for elderly people. Our room looked nothing like the staged photos on the website. It was dark even with the light on. TV wasn’t tuned in so unusable. The safe didn’t work. Dodgy plug sockets which weren’t fixed to the walls so came out and sparked at times. The bathroom was concerning overall lack of cleanliness. When we arrived the shower didn’t work and neither did the tap. The toilet moved as not fixed. When the water was working it filled the tray which over ran and took literally hours to drain. Towels were of poor quality and discolored. On the plus side there was a kettle and fridge in our room and these worked. I read the breakfast menu and was looking forward to trying it. Upon arriving on the rooftop I noticed that everything apart from the cereal was uncovered. Bees were crawling over the honey, jam, cakes etc. Not very appetizing so only ate the cereal. The next day some of the items were covered but still not the cakes. Unfortunately the acoustics meant that all sound was amplified, so noisy guests talking and moving around frequently woke us sometimes in the middle of the night. I booked the cooking experience which was rather disappointing. We were just taken across the road to a supermarket then an actual market where we purchased coriander and parsley. The chickens were slaughtered for you and prepared, the smell was awful and very offputing. No mint tea ceremony or bread making as advertised on the webpage. I had been really looking forward to that. We prepared a tagine and dessert which was tasty. Booked another excursion to meet the Berbers. Had a private taxi to the Kasbah Africa in the Atlas Mountains, who weren’t even expecting us. Had to wait 90 minutes for our guide. The ‘easy walking trail’ was hard going and dangerous at times. Arrived at a house and offered mint tea and nuts but again no bread making as once again promised. We were able to have a very late lunch and swim. Having paid £144 for this experience I do not feel it was worth it.

I stayed at Amour D'Auberge over the new year - I was looking for a hostel that was relatively quiet and laid back, in a good location. Hiba, Nadia, Faisal and Jamil run the hostel together and every interaction I had with each of them was very positive! They were super friendly and helpful. I shared an 8-bed female room and had no problems with it - the beds are comfortable and warm, and you get a key-locked cupboard to store your valuables. The hostel is in a fantastic central location, just five minutes walk to the big square! Even though the hostel itself was pretty quiet there is a jazz bar next door, which did mean that sometimes it was loud late at night - but I just used ear plugs and it didnt disturb me too much. Also, while I was staying they were having some building work done which was noisy during the day, however I was out and about most of the time so it didn't cause me any problems. Overall I would recommend Amour D'Auberge and would stay here again in future :-)

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!!!

The location is right by the sea, the scenery is very good, the downstairs is the beach. The end of the hotel can see the endless Atlantic! The room is not facing the sea (maybe there are very few, the estimated price is very high), but the balcony of every room can see the sea! The room is very large, clean and comfortable, and the internet is very good. The room has a kitchen, the tableware is also in line, you can make your own instant noodles. Moroccan things are not very appetizing, or noodles! Especially if you have been in Morocco for a few days, you are tired of eating Taji pot and other foods. At this time, a bowl of instant noodles can make you burst into tears! When it comes to buying instant noodles, you have to mention that the Wanda's commercial center (one-twentieth of Wanda's) is next to the hotel. This is one of the few super-comprehensive markets in Casablanca. This is a wealthy area. Carrefour in the mall, everything! There are also fast food such as KFC and McDonald's in the mall. This place is not far from the Hassan II Mosque, just take a taxi! You are a tourist, the driver does not give you a watch, you can price! (Reference price: Hasan II Mosque 30 Dirham, train station voyageurs train station 50 Dirham)

The gardens and pool are beautiful, well kept, clean and very relaxing. Low music on in the background. Plenty of sunbeds. Drinks brought to you. But - inside the hotel is very different to the outside. The hotel is very dated. Our room to be fair, wasn't the nicest. The bed was rock hard and we both had back aches the next day. The room was cleaned daily but it's the little things that aren't so little anymore. The build up of grout and silicone turning black and broken tiles in the bathroom. Dirty cups to rinse your mouth out. The bedding is too short for your feet. Not kidding,! The plus side was we had a balcony to sit out on. Hot water. We met the cleaner and she was very friendly. We only had breakfast. Very minimal choice but enough to fill you up. Eggs, ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber, cereal, milk, cakes and croissants, handmade flat bread and coffee. No tea. We bought pizza a few times for lunch, quite nice but the salad tasted off so we didn't buy that again. Drinks at the bar, cocktails, beer, spirits. Nice big lounge to sit in next to the bar. The location is definitely up there with the best. Short walking distance to everything. The staff, I have to say, are very friendly. All of them. The bar staff especially. Had some nice chats with them. We found to be the only English as everyone there was French. This didn't bother us. This hotel could be really good if it had an overhaul. For instance, the balcony door lock kept falling off. We were in room 245. A lick of paint, finishing touches sorted out. Made a bit more modern. My 3 is based on average/good. We enjoyed our stay. But glad we only done 3 nights as the bed so hard. If the hotel was as good as it's gardens, I would have given more stars. You get what you pay for. I knew it wasn't going to be outstanding, I definitely feel I got my money's worth. But I hope my comments are taken on board as this could really help the hotel going forward. Also the cost of food a tad high for what you get.

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.

The hotel is near the road, the hotel is friendly, the snacks and tea are delivered immediately, the hotel is large, but we went out for the day, did not eat in the hotel, many foreigners drink and chat in the hotel yard at night, the environment is very good, I like it very much, the hotel can also ask about the group to the desert, it is not expensive.
