We (family of 4) stayed in an executive suite. The room was very nice and spacious with a lounge room and comfortable bedroom. The grounds of the hotel are expansive and well laid out. There are plenty of facilities - kids play area, tennis courts and nice swimming pool.
However, the service at this hotel is a bit of a let down. Management should work hard in beefing up their service and training. There is very few staff who speak English and the service at the restaurant is very very slow. Staff work hard but there are simply not enought of them and managemnt seem to turn a blind eye to this.
Marrakesh is lovely with lots to do and the hotel is perfectly placed.

I last reviewed this place 2 years ago and have just been again for a week.The Meridien is a pretty big hotel, situated about a 20 min pleasant stroll from the Medina (old walled city). Not only is it a good choice for those who want to enjoy the frenetic life inside the traditional city of Marrakech and yet be able to escape to some calm and European standards in the evening, but it represents great value for money. It has large, green & beautiful gardens with fountains playing and an enormous swimming pool. Although the Meridien chain used to be French owned, its now part of the American 'Starwood' group and there are lots of good deals on their web-site, such as the '6 nights for the price of 4' which we got. You'll pay a fraction of the price required at some of the posh riads in the Medina where often the walls are so thin you have to keep your voice at a whisper. And yet you can still go to the riads for great dinners and return to this place for a good solid bedroom with great bath facilities and a really good buffet breakfast. The hotel is a tiny bit tired and in need of investment, but not intrusively so. Contrary to previous comments we found the staff unfailingly courteous. The downsides? There could be more UK channels on the TV system.The housekeeping staff are so attentive that they seem to be knocking on the door almost hourly with bed changes, towel service, mini-bar checks and so on (but the 'do not disturb' sign eventually worked!). The service in the pleasant restaurant is painfully slow, with often a 15 min wait even for drinks requests after being seated.......they really MUST deal with this.The airy, nicely designed breakfast room with fabulous buffet and omelettes and pancakes made to order in front of you really must do something about the sparrows which fly around and leave droppings on the lamp-shades! But those are minor points. We recommend this place as somewhere to base yourself at a good price whilst enjoying this wonderful city. Its rating half-way down the TripAdvisor list for Marrakech does it a dis-service.

I stayed at the le meridien in oct for 3 nights. I enjoyed the pool and the gardens. Its a lovely property. the girl at the reception was nice. but the staff can be more friendly. the staff can add a lot to the atmosphere i guess. the bar was a nice place to be. but again the staff can be a little more friendly.

With the money we paid, this hotel did not worth it. The pros: nice poor area, big estate, friendly conceirge staff and house keeping, size of the room is good, quiet, lots of plants, good location you could even walk to Palace Jemma el-fna. The cons: not really felt welcomed by receptionists every time talking to them, breakfast is really simple and lack of choices, room standard is like a 3 star hotel in Europe which was disappointed as we stayed in better Le Meridien before, room card didn't work for couple of times while we stayed there 4 nights, website shows htl has tennis court but it is not finished and that was the main point we chose this hotel, resort fee MAD33 plus TPT (didn't even know what this charge is??) MAD24 per night per room. In general, it's a ok hotel with basic standards. Wished we could have chosen other similar hotel with a cheaper rate.
