"Highly recommend but makes sure you get the room you want. Expedia lists a private bath on one of their garden rooms, but it does not have the private bath. It must say private bath on the confirmation from the hotel."

"The hostel, the staff and the breakfast they provide is all great!
What’s let it down is the tour I booked with them to the pyramids. Firstly I was booked onto a tour to see multiple pyramids when in fact I’d just wanted to see the Giza pyramids and sphinx, maybe there had been some miscommunication.
Firstly on the Giza pyramids part of the tour I was unexpectedly taken to a dodgy looking guide centre outside of the Giza site and pressured to pay "

Top Africa Hotel Reviews

Taj Cape Town
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful!"

Hôtel & Ryads Barrière Le Naoura
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel. Excellent location, around 10 min walk from everything you could want to see in Marrakesh! They made my stay super special and surprised me with a cake for my birthday! Cannot wait to visit again"

Les Jardins De La Koutoubia
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is truly special, blending the charm of a traditional riad with the comfort and amenities of a full-service hotel. The location is excellent—close to historic sites, the souks, and the main square—yet once inside it feels calm and secluded, with quiet corners that make it easy to relax.
The property offers a piano bar, billiard room, multiple on-site restaurants, a rooftop bar with private seating areas, a welcoming spa, and a relaxed, unpretentious breakfast buffet. The staff are thoughtful, friendly, and have a great sense of humor, making you feel genuinely welcome.
While it may not feel as overly polished as some luxury hotels, the beautiful architecture and comfortable atmosphere give it a warm, lived-in charm that makes it easy to feel at home."

Kenzi Rose Garden

Palais Sebban

The Sarova Stanley
10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly and helpful staff, room was clean and beautiful"

Le Riad Monceau
10/10 Excellent
"I’m so glad I stayed at this wonderful hotel. It’s location is perfect for exploring the souks and Jamma al Fnaa square. The amenities and staff couldn’t be any better. The Riad (a house transformed into a hotel) has a wonderful vibe about it. It has old world charm with modern amenities. There is nightly live music from 8pm until 11pm. I loved the Jazz and Latin nights. The rooftop restaurant “The Pergola” was excellent. The tagine and backshish kebabs were some of my favorite dishes. The Casablanca beer was cold and had a clean crisp taste. The staff were phenomenal. Personable, efficient and very helpful. They felt more like friends than employees. They all spoke English but French and Arabic as well. From my first experience with Soufian at the front desk to the cooks and wait staff and even the staff cleaning the rooms, they all went above and beyond to make it feel like home away from home. I can’t wait to return! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Marrakech!"

Maru Maru Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"the two ladies that came to clean my room and put a net on my bed were kind and courteous. they were also hands on and swift"

Hivernage Hotel And Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for 3 nights B & B. Twin room clean, very comfortable, and quiet. Great breakfast.
Ate in the hotel restaurant on the first evening. Nice atmosphere. with good service, food and wine.
Fantastic steam and "signature" massage -thanks to Towia and Nonhaila. Definitely recommend.
Perfect location. Easy 5 minute walk to the Medina. Plenty of restaurants nearby.
Good comms prior to arrival from reception / concierge. Good service all around.
Rooftop bar and restaurant closed for refurbishment. Small pool but didnt use."
