Spent 3 nights here in January which is long enough for Marrakech in my opinion.

Hotel is about 20 min walk from the main square and 10min from railway station. Turn left out of the hotel door and walk to the end of the street , then left again and you cannot miss the railway station. The bus station is 2min further along the road on left side of the railway station entrance.
The railway station entrance is a huge arch and is quite magnificent. There is a large open square in front and you cannot miss it.

We took the bus from Marrakech to Agadir by Suprabus which takes about 3 hours with a 15 min break at a service station halfway. You need to book the tickets at least the day before and you get an allocated seat. When you arrive for the journey you will also need to pay a small fee of 6dh for your case to go in the luggage hold for which you get a receipt to stick on your case. Smaller bags you can take on the bus.

Hotel Almas is a nice modern hotel with excellent clean rooms,mini bar(empty) fridge,good powerful showers and wifi throughout. Breakfast was a cold buffet with the usual fare. Boiled eggs were the only hot item but it set us up for the day.

We tried the fish restaurent, 2 doors down,turn left out of the hotel entrance, which had a wide selection of fish on display to choose from. Very good food and budget prices but do expect the same level of refinement which may be more prevalent in the UK.

There are plenty of other Morrocan eateries around this hotel but if you wish to give the local food a miss, Macdonalds is literally about 250 yds if you turn right on exit from the hotel.(there is also another McDs adjacent to the railway station.

All the upmarket shops are in the locality 2 mins away, again if you turn right and head towards Macdonalds you will come across Zara, Mango etc.

The main square is an an amazing place by day and night and you can eat there at the many open stalls. We used the open top touristique bus which is ok for one circuit around the city but buses are not frequent and this service is overpriced and poor value.

Best part of trip was relaxing in the afternoon at the rooftop pool at the hotel which is quite a suntrap!

I

Have just got back from a really superb 5 days in Marrakech which was not only complemented by the Hotel Almas but was completely enhanced by a really fantastic hotel, to start with the location was just what we wanted slightly out from the centre but an easy 20 minute walk to the main square.
We had a suite on the 5th floor and it was very spacious and extremely clean and well kept. The staff were all very helpful and even when i had a small accident with the shower door there main concern was for myself and not the door and the whole incident was delt with very professionally and efficiently.
Prehaps if i was being very picky then they need to put some more information about Marrskech and areas of interest in the room, having said that you only needed to ask and the information was there.
On a final note I would like to mention the market a few hundred yards from the hotel, we found this to be an ideal place for shopping and less daunting and frenetic than the main square, and a little gem of a restraunt two streets away from the hotel called the Rotisserie de la Paix which served very good food at very reasonable prices and the service was excellent, if you wanted lunch it was served in their courtyard garden which completley shut the outside world out and left you feeling very relaxed

We stayed in the hotel for 8 nights after deciding our pre-booked Riad wasn't for us. We arrived half an hour after booking online and despite being a few hours early for check in, the room was ready for us on arrival. The bed was massive, a little on the firm side (this seems to be the norm in Marrakech) but very comfortable nonetheless. The room was spacious and clean, with a good sized, powerful shower in the ensuite bathroom. Big TV with lots of channels, and I think 2 channels that were English language, one of which seemed to be a movie channel.

We spent quite a lot of time on the roof terrace which was lovely with a great view, beautiful to watch the sunset from. The pool was very very cold, even when it was quite warm outside (it got up to around 30 degrees Celsius at times) and it was a shame it wasn't heated as it was far too cold to get in, but maybe it's better in the summer. The terrace was a nice area to sunbathe on and get a bit of a tan, something which we couldn't do whilst out and about, as you need to cover up in public.

Breakfast was served between 6 (I think) and 11am so it was nice to be able to get up late and eat breakfast. We took it to our room a couple of times on a tray which wasn't a problem. Breakfast was quite basic but high quality, pain au chocolat, croissant, another sweet pastry, good bread, butter, jam, sliced cheeses and ham, olives, fruity yogurt, boiled eggs, porridge and pancakes, cereal and dried fruit, with strong coffee and fresh orange juice on tap.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, with the reception staff speaking good English (though it's always courteous to at least try and speak a bit of French!)

The area (Guilez) was nice with a lot of good restaurants and shops nearby, very different to the atmosphere in and around the medina, and a lot less hassle.

Overall this is a high quality hotel in a good area of Marrakech, and very good value for money (we paid 50 euros a night for the room and breakfast for 2).

We would definitely go back there if we ever return to Marrakech.

Clean and fairly new hotel in a good location. Large rooms and excellent bathroom. In winter, the heating worked well. Breakfast was good. Restaurants around sufficiently. Baggage was left luggage storage, when we went to Ouarzazate. The bus station is a 15 minute walk and a taxi 3 euros.
