HOTEL RAWABI MARRAKECH

Nice resort in a new very nice touristic area, quite good food - both breakfast and dinner, very roomy convenient rooms, nice pool with lot of area around it. The staff was very friendly and helpful..

Nice clean hotel, not many luxuries to be had although this is reflected in the rate. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with the exception of the rather stern female manager who despite telling us that we shouldn't pay more than 70dh to travel anywhere, days later attempted to charge us 100dh to travel into the centre. The pool was absolutely freezing and therefore could not be enjoyed for too long before getting out, but this is a minor point as it was always clean and available. All in all, not a bad stay at all, good value for money in a place where everyone seems to want to rip you off. Tips: - Taxis to and from the airport will be around 200dh - this is an exception and I believe this is due to a surcharge placed on drivers picking up and dropping off (allegedly). Other than to/ from the airport, a taxi into town should cost no more than 70-50dh. Always negotiate if quoted higher - this is not a place where you can afford to be shy, they will exploit this and pry your hard earned money from you. - Do not under any circumstances follow anybody! If you get lost, always ask a shopkeeper or public official. The locals will follow you or lead you into the backstreets before surrounding you and attempting to intimidate you into giving them money. This can be pretty daunting but stick to your guns and don't feed this system - should this happen, hold your valuables tight and keep moving towards the nearest busy street. - Avoid eating in the tourist traps, there is a significant saving to be made on the cost of a decent tagine without compromise on quality. - If shopping in the souks - half the stated price and negotiate from there. The first price is never the price you should pay. Stick to your guns and be prepared to walk way if you want a good deal. - Learn some basic French and or Arabic - this seemed to go along way and the locals really seem to appreciate the effort. - Women, try to dress modestly. The locals will naturally be curious- particularly if you are blonde! But if you're wearing hot pants and a crop top, prepare to be judged and gawped at... - there is a carrefour supermarket and mall hosting many western type eateries a five minute walk around the corner, a great place to go and pick up some pastries and fruit for lunch or snacks whilst out and about. - Always walk on the right hand side of the narrow streets in the old town, there are many mopeds and bikes that zoom up and down with little regard for any pedestrians who may get in the way. In summary, a wonderful experience but this is not a place you can let your guard down when wandering around the old town. Be firm, stick to your guns, soak up the culture and most of all enjoy!

This is a beautiful hotel in Marrakech. It has 4 stars rooms are comfortable personnel is very kind and its full pansion. One and only negative thing is sometimes you can't communicate with the personnel because they barely speak and understand english its a common problem in Morocco.

I stayed almost 2 months in this hotel. Really comfortable rooms, relaxing pool to recover from the high temperatures in the city and really nice staff that made the stay even better. Besides that, the prices were very good for these kind of hotels.

We spent three nights at this hotel. Our room was good, nice size and good bed. Our only complaint which we passed on every day to the staff at front desk was that the water took a long time to drain out of the bath and basin. each time they promised to send someone to fix this but to no avail. We ate two dinners at the restaurant, the first was terrible, no taste to the food but to our surprise the second on our last night in Marrakech, was good with tasty food and a good selection. The breakfasts on the other hand were good especially the local "mofletta"or Moroccan pancake which was freshly made each morning.
