Welcome to my hotel review at Marrakesh!
Introduction
This hotel was only booked due to the issues we had at our original accommodation in Marrakesh. It turned out that the apartment I booked was not suitable for our needs so I went ahead to do quite a last minute booking and honestly speaking, this was not my first choice. Whatever it is, I chose this hotel for the good location and it turned out to be walkable to the places we wanted to go. This hotel may not be as glamourous as the previous hotel we started but it was decent enough and we had a comfortable stay during the few nights there.
So without further ado, let's begin this hotel review!
Location of the hotel
How to get to the hotel from the airport
The most economical way to get there is by taking bus L18 from Aeoroport bus stop which would take about 12 minutes to get to the Grand Poste bus stop and then walk to the hotel from there which take around 5 minutes.

This is a twin bed room, room is as bit old and has seen better days but it was comfortable and we were able to grab some good rest.

Conclusion
It was a decent stay during these few nights at the hotel. While the hotel is not new and the room interior looks dated, we were satisified and had no complaints about the room. For the price I paid especially for a last minute booking, I am satisfied but would I come back again next time, I am not so sure as the hotel interior doesn't give me that exciting feeling. However, for the price I paid which includes breakfast, I won't ruled out returning back to this hotel. What I like about the hotel? The location of the hotel is not bad, the complimentary breakfast offering a good variety of food and the rooftop, offering a good view of the surrounding around the hotel building. What I don't like about my stay is the dated looking room which is in need of refurblishment especially the toilet.
Thanks for reading this hotel review, hope you find the information useful.
