2nd visit and still as lovely as ever. This fantastic hotel is about 10k from Marrakesh tucked away in the desert in a walled garden. With only 10 ‘rooms’ you basically will never have more than about 20 people staying and that’s if it’s completely full. Quiet, relaxed, peaceful and friendly. The 10 ‘huts’ are arranged around the swimming pool and you never feel crowded. The restaurant has a limited but varied menu and we either ate in the garden outside, by our room or as was suggested by the staff at a private table by the pool on our last night. Breakfast ever day we asked for it outside our room 😁. The rooms are lovely, the pool is lovely, the staff are lovely and you are only 20mins from Marrakesh if you want a trip or fancy dinner out. Highly recommend if you want absolute peace and quiet.…
This hotel is beautiful and perfect for couples that are looking for a romantic break. The breakfast is a selection of fresh pastries fruits and yoghurts and is delicious. The tea and coffee in the hotel is great and the Moroccan wines on the menu also delicious. The food at lunch/dinner is nice but there could be more variation. We ate out most evenings in the Medina because of this. The transfers into the Medina each evening were very handy and the drivers very helpful and friendly. The pool area is perfect. A couple of areas for improvement would be: Staff could be more attentive around the pool in the day time. We had to get up and dressed to go and find someone for water/food a few times. There were two sets of very noisy guests in the pool during our stay and staff could do more to encourage this to be the peaceful environment that it is supposed to be. Finally, the air conditioning is noisy in the room. Overall, we would highly recommend staying at this hotel.…
My girlfriend and I stayed in a deluxe suite for three nights to complete our trip to Morocco. Hotel Cinq Djellebas offers luxury standards in service and food in an idyllic setting. Everything about the property was beautiful and we wish we could have stayed longer. It offers serenity, away from the bustling and sometimes overwhelming streets of Marrakech. A couple of niggles prevented a 5 star review: - Location. Whilst once you are there, you feel that you are in paradise, away from the hustle and bustle, actually getting to the property is tricky with many of our taxi drivers struggling to find it. Located on a dirt road without any signs means that unless you can rely on GPS (taxi drivers rarely do in Marrakech), this property is quite difficult to reach, particularly at night. One evening the driver ended up asking us to walk the final 100m at night as he couldn't get his car down the road. - Pre-booked food. Understandably the hotel would like you to confirm in the day whether you will eat with them in the evening but having to pre-submit your menu options for breakfast and dinner was a bit difficult, particularly when out on day trips from early morning until dinner-time. We were able to send messages to the hotel to sort this but it felt like an unnecessary stress.…
We stayed for 8 nights in room 5, one of the deluxe suites with a four poster bed and bath. The entire stay was so relaxing: nothing was too much for any of the staff who were eager to please and looked after us so well. The pool is large and there are enough beds for all the guests so there is no stress to have to get up early and put down your towel! Breakfast was perfect for us: fruit, natural yogurt, pastries, etc…which we enjoyed outside our room each morning, and lunch by the pool or under the olive trees in the shade (we had a heatwave 30+ degrees). We also ate dinner at the hotel on three evenings which was traditional food, and utterly delicious. As we were staying more than 4 nights we had a complimentary all round transfer each day. The hotel organised this with their car company and when we ate at a restaurant in the city this made it all stress free. Khalid, our driver, was incredible. He ensured we were walked into the medina to our restaurant and was there to pick us up. This was during Ramadan and it sums up the hospitality of the hotel that they invited Khalid to break the fast with them before driving us in. (The hotel is about a 20-30 minute drive from the city.) The weather was amazing so we enjoyed the pool and relaxed, read books, ate great food and drank a bit of wine and explored Marrakesh in the evening. If this is what you’re looking for, in an oasis just outside of the city, then this is for you - and do go for the deluxe suite. We absolutely loved it and will certainly return. We booked through Mr&Mrs Smith - the hotel advised us we’d get a better rate booking direct - also, rate for Marrakesh, they also take Amex.…
My Mum and I stayed in a deluxe suite for 4 nights at the end of March 2022. It is really such a beautiful setting for a relaxing break. Our suite was large, comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The gardens are stunning and I really enjoyed eating breakfast outside, watching and listening to the birds. The pool area is lovely and there is a large pool house to relax in and enjoy a drink or some food. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating and the service is really impeccable. It made the stay even more special and very memorable- thank you :-)
It was like walking into a dream when we entered Cinq Djellabas. A haven of pure tranquility. The food, the ambience, the service! Isham & Mageed made our stay! The attention to detail both across the hotel and in the suites was stunning. We loved it and couldn’t really fault it in any way!!! Take me Back!!!!!
Just back from 7 days staying here. It was absolutely brilliant and exactly what we wanted. Based around 20mins from Marrakesh this is a small boutique location with I think about 12 individual suites laid out on their own in the gardens and around the pool. All very private and secluded and none of them feel overlooked at all. There is a lovely restaurant for breakfast and great for evening meals as well if you don’t want to go into Marrakesh- very reasonably priced with great food. Pool area is gorgeous and the pool is pretty big as well but because there are only 12 suits it’s never going to be busy. Staff are lovely - a small team that you get to know and they know you as well. it’s set in a really quiet area with nothing really close to it so perfect if you want to relax for a few days. We were there for 7 days B&B so within that they picked us up from the airport and also offer you a free taxi into Marrakesh and back each day so that meant a couple of nights out and visits to the markets. Perfect for couples who just want to relax. …
We enjoyed a seven night stay at this wonderful hotel - its a real oasis of tranquility and a perfect contrast to the hustle & bustle of Marrakech. The Villas are superb, very comfortable & spacious, lovely & warm in the winter. The pool and grounds are beautiful its lovely to walk from villa to pool to breakfast. The food is fantastic - limited menu which means its all very fresh & it was & we love our food! our special favourites were the morrocan salads & sardine tart (filleted sardines - yummy!). We enjoyed our sunny late afternoons by the pool - drinking Moroccan rose & we had supper in the pool house in front of the fire. The staff were so kind & nothing was too much trouble, they make this hotel a truly memorable place to stay. We enjoyed meeting Alexandra the owner & chatting about the fascinating art work & decor in the pool house - its exquisite at night. Whist a short drive outside of Marrakech we were always delighted to return to this tranquil treat.…
A wonderfully peaceful and relaxing break with excellent food and service. The staff are very friendly and helpful - the attention to detail, light and shade, admirable - and the rhythm and atmosphere of the place such that it was impossible not to relax. We loved it!
We were here for my husband's birthday a month ago and already looking forward to be back at this piece of heaven. The service staff was extremely helpful and the food could not be more delicious! It was the best decision to stay at this hotel as its so calm and peaceful gem thanks to its location slightly away from the hectic and noisy centre of the city. Thanks for your hospitality!
