Hotel Meriem Marrakech

Hotel good enough

Some has previously written that they don't know why Exoticca keeps booking this hotel and I'd have to agree. It is true, even posted at the front desk, no outside beverages may be brought into the hotel. You're forced to purchase your bottled water and sodas at the small café off the main lobby. This hotel may have been nice 30 years ago, but it's definitely showing it's age, with the lacquer chipping off the furniture in the room and bedside tables having wobbly legs. This hotel was adequate. There is a nice restaurant, La Bagatelle, next to the Hotel Imperial on the main street...skip the dinner buffet and eat there. Desk staff bordered on the indifferent to efficient. They do not have any sort of business center with a computer , where you can check-in for your flights on-line.

PROS: Nice hotel in a great location, front desk, maids and bellboys extremely friendly. The pool area is lovely and a gorgeous Siamese cat resides there. CONS: Extremely rude restaurant manager seen shouting at guests for absolutely no reasons, lucky for him he did not address me directly, would have went very badly for him. Friendly front desk man provided me with a room key without asking my name nor asking for a piece of identification which made me scared for my safety and that of my belongings. Most likely just an oversight on his part but still, we had never met and I could have been just anyone willing to rob a room. Emerygency stairs lighting does not work properly ended up going up and down the stairs in total darkness which felt very unsafe. I still recommend this hotel.
