Hotel Kenzi Farah, Marrakech

Advantages: Old town Marrakech - food, fun, history, foreign delight
Disadvantages: New town Marrakech, and con-men on the street, trying to get money off you

...First up, there are two very different sides of Marrakech. New town, and old town. If you stay in new town - yes it's Morocco, but at the same time it's not the same - you've got McDs, big hotels, casinos and modern city problems. Old town, inside the 11th century walls, and Marrakech comes alive. During the day you navigate the maze of alleyways, shops, merchants, while dodging the bustling people, bicycles and motorbikes(!) speeding around busily. It's an interesting place, it''s a place of history - with palaces, souks, the main square market and many old buildings, it's a place of intrigue - belly dancing, smoking shishas, snake charmers, and it's a place of gastronomical delight - from the night time stalls in the main square serving anything from traditional Moroccan tajins to snails, Moroccan wine, local style salads...

...Chose this hotel on ciao rating. We were not disappointed The location is perfect, the room was excelent, and the staff extremely helpfull. in fact we could not fault the service given or the hotel in any way. I realised that the day on which we were arriving was a holiday (ramadan) and asked what would be open and the manager came back to me via email giving options. the suites are very comfortable, flat screen, Free wifi, great beds amazing shower well apointed bathroom. Breakfast fresh varied and served with real charm and grace(not by any means a given in marrakech). We also liked the magical arabian decor of the room and the boutique hotel. A special thank's to nora at the front desk... ! superb value for money, I'd definitely stay here again!... Read review
