The room are comfortable and the staff is extremely friendly. The breakfast is generous and both restaurants (Moroccan and Italian) have good menu. Each restaurant has its own musicians to entertain customers during the evening. The hotel has a beautiful and well maintain garden. The hotel is about 15 mins work from the centre of the town. I will go back

Interesting hotel. Large, spacious. A bit of an oasis from the more crowded parts of Marrakech. Caters especially for families, I think. There was a playground in the grounds and large grassy areas where children could play safely. I, however, was in Marrakech on business so all that passed me by. Check-in and check-out was smooth, staff helpful. The lobby was underwhelming -- as was, for me, the rest of the hotel architecture. It was spacious, but lacked any sort of "Wow!" factor.. I had a large room that was thoughtfully laid out but rather tired furniture and design. The red and black furniture may have been trendy in the 1970s, but it left much to be desired in a hotel claiming as many stars as this. Desk space was good, but was negated by the poor internet connection (although, to be fair, I suspect this is a problem with the telephone company/ISP and not the hotel; I have stayed in half a dozen places in Marrakech and none had decent internet). The bed was comfortable and both the bedroom and the bathroom were both good. The room was clean. I have noticed complaints from other reviewers about the breakfast. Possibly it has improved since they wrote their reviews, possibly they are just carping (or possibly I have lower standards) but I didn't find anything wrong with the breakfast at all. There was good variety, you could get a Moroccan flat bread fresh off the griddle (lovely, in a slightly chewy sort of way). The balance between Moroccan food and Western food was reasonable. The fruit juice was on the weak side, but there was fresh fruit, including oranges, available. So, from me, no complaints about breakfast. I didn't eat any other meals there so can't comment on the other restaurants.

Overall: OK, but for the price could do better.

And a warning: the walls between rooms are paper thin. Enthusiastic honeymooners should be aware that everything they say -- and do -- is audible next door.

This hotel is very well managed. The rooms are spacious and quiet with all the exepected facilities. The lobby area is very agreeable and a warm welcome is felt upon arrival. Parking is not an issue. With great service the overall stay is a great experience.

My girlfriend and I are both SPG platinum and decided to stay at the Meridien for our two days in Marrakech. As was mentioned in other reviews, the hotel is definitely a bit tired. What disturbed us the most was the fact that so many people were smoking in the main lobby. When you have been driving for a while and are looking for a relaxing experience in the hotel, this first impression can be very disturbing. We got upgraded to a suite which was nicely appointed, even though we did not have any view. The restaurants in the hotel were nice and the breakfast buffet had a lot of great options. Lunch by the pool is a bit overpriced for the quality of the food though. The concierge desk tried to be helpful but they definitely tailor to a richer clientele. When we asked for cheaper options, we saw that we lost some of the concierge's interest. The location is pretty good and you can get to the medina in 20 minutes (walking). Overall a good stay but not up to the best SPG standards.
