Nice place, clean, good pool and confortable.

This is a rather odd hotel. There is nothing really wrong with it, but it is rather overpriced. The common areas are pretty and the pool is nice. The rooms are typical Moroccan (not in terms of design, but in terms of their cleanliness/functionality), they are a bit over the top in terms of style. The restaraunt food is typical Accor.. pretty underwhelming. The big problem is the doors-- they are impossible to open from the outside and my brother got locked in his room and had to go out on the deck to get free!

I was somewhat reluctant to book a hotel without many reviews, but gave it a chance and was very pleased with the Mercure Ouarzazate. It's a large, modern hotel (but one with character) on top of a hill overlooking the main tourist sight in town (the kasbah). In fact, the hotel has the best views of the kasbah in town. While the rooms are small and a bit odd (no bedside tables), each one has a balcony and a modern and clean bathroom. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, and can be eaten either in the restaurant (which has a glass wall that is also one side of the swimming pool, like an aquarium -- very cool) or on the terrace overlooking the kasbah. The front desk staff is wonderful and helpful, and the hammam is clean and usually empty. And the hotel has a chic bar as well. It's an incredible value and a fantastic homebase for touring the surrounding area.

One of my favourite places in Morocco, this former Club Med is beautiful. It’s modern, clean, has a great pool and décor, good food and wonderful service. in any other city you’d be paying a lot to stay here.
