I had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel in Marrakech! The atmosphere was serene and welcoming, and I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and provided great tips on exploring the area. The highlight was the delectable meals enjoyed on the terrace at sunset. However, I encountered some communication challenges due to the host's limited English, which made a couple of things a bit awkward during my stay.

Our stay at this hotel was filled with a mix of luxury and some awkward moments. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the heart of Marrakech easily. The rooms were beautifully decorated and extremely quiet, which was a plus for relaxation. However, we struggled with communication since the host primarily spoke French and Arabic, making dining arrangements a challenge. The rooftop dining experience was lovely, but felt a bit uncomfortable due to our solitude during meals.
