    All was good breakfast could be better, however can go across the road for a nice omelette.

    Good clean hotel in nice location within Hivernage area of Marrakech, oldtown, medina and the square are a 15/20 min walk to the right and all the resort hotels, Nobu and Theatro and Casino 5/10 min walk to the left, Sarah at reception was brilliant and very helpful, room 206 is recommended as nice view of the front of hotel room 203 is good if you want a quiet room, Mustafa in the bar is good and special flag beer is good value, taxis are easy to flag outside the hotel roughly 10 euro to the airport and 5euro to the square, horse drawn carriage 1hour tour for 20euros for a group. The wee Tabak sells top ups and sim cards etc all at good prices. Overall nice experience with a free late check out and they will watch your luggage too.

    On the elevator was sign about prohibition of food and drinks on the rooms. We didnt understand that.

    Clean standard room, nice view. Breakfast without fruits but taste really good (eggs, cheesse, ham, bread, sweets etc.) Pool with clean water.

    They Try to Forbid You to Bring Any Drinks or Snacks. Shower Does Not Work Properly
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    1. The shower does not work properly. The same experience in two different rooms: - The warm water just stops. You wait to begin flowing again - The hangs for the shower headset is broken causing inconvenience ( in both rooms ) 2. The music from the coffee across the street is loud at about midnight every night. 3. The hotel staff WARN you NOT to bring snacks or biscuits or any kind of drinks you like (wine, juice), or even water to your room, instead they want you to order it from their restaurant.

    The hotel offers overall not-bad value.

    Wish we had more fruits at breakfast

    We stayed here again after the desert tour, got a better room this time, functional shower. Overall the hotel has a good convenient location, walking distance to Medina, train station, supermarket. A nice comfy stay away from the crowd. Good breakfast.

    Breakfast was very ordinary and not worth the price. I prefer to eat outside the hotel.

    The hotel is located in a very good place, close to everything, and the neighborhood is very safe. The employees were very nice and helpful, they made my stay warm and comfortable... I would give the staff a 10 out of 10 ❤️🇲🇦

    However, breakfast selection needs to be improved. Also would be great to have kettles in the rooms. The inside of some of the baths need some repair.

    Great location! Amazing staff makes you feel welcome during your stay. The person at breakfast although couldn’t speak English was very friendly and tries his best to make sure your breakfast is great and you have everything you need!

    Its my second visit at this hotel. Central place, close to the old city center (Jamaa el Fna Square) and new city center. The neighberhood is a safe area, and has cool restaurants for breakfast, lunch or diner nearby. Its not so noisy like in most area's in Marrakech, but its a pretty living street. The room and bathroom was clean, and the wifi was working perfect. The mans working behind the desk is friendly and helpfull. The cleaners are also friendly and greet you every morning. The hotel has breakfast and diner i think, but i didnt try it. Thank you Hotel Akabar, and hopefully see you next time!
