Hivernage & Spa: Great Hotel of the World????   Check Rates
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • The website photos show a beautiful hotel.... but what an overpriced disaster! I cannot believe this hotel is a member of the Great Hotels of the World. The sliding door to the balcony didn't lock, the air conditioning didn't work, and the shower/bathtub didn't drain. Room was just okay - certainly not up to the expected standards of a hotel in this class.

    We were glad to find a beautiful Riad and leave after one night!

    Les Borjs De La Kasbah: Luxury in Marrakech

  • Staying at the Les Borjs De La Kasbah was a wonderful experience. This boutique hotel is housed in converted traditional Moroccan homes arranged around four patios.
    The rooms are large and beautifully decorated with patterned fabrics and tiled floors with handmade carpets. Rooms have satellite TVs, air conditioning, complimentary wireless internet access, big beds with luxurious sheets, and great bathrooms.

    The staff were pleasant and helpful. Good breakfast (buffet and eggs cooked to order) served in the restaurant or outside in the courtyard. Spa, pool, bar, and restaurant on premises.

    I really liked the location - about 1 km to JEF. It was great to walk home every night strolling through the neighborhood with locals and stopping for some street food.

    Highly recommend the Les Borjs De La Kasbah.

    Strict Rules on Sharing a Room
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I checked online for hotels. To my surprise the following was actually listed on hotel booking websites:

    Please note:
    • Moroccan citizens (either male or female) are not permitted to share a room with a foreign citizen if not married.
    • Unmarried Moroccan couples are not permitted to share a room.
    • Homosexuality is prohibited, although same-sex travellers can share a room with twin beds (this should be specified at the time of booking to avoid confusion).
