I stayed at Zalagh Kasbah Hotel & Spa in Marrakech from June 23–28 for a family wedding. I booked a family room through Hotels.com because it was advertised as accommodating four guests and was priced higher than the standard rooms. However, upon check-in, I was assigned a room with only two twin beds.

When I explained the issue, I was told that once the rest of my family arrived, they would move us to the correct room. Unfortunately, the first room was extremely hot because the air conditioning was not working. When I requested a room change, I was initially refused. The manager, who introduced himself as Beni, dismissed my concerns by saying, “This is not England. You’re in Morocco. It’s hot,” even after I explained that I was not from England and that the AC was clearly malfunctioning.

After further discussion, I was eventually moved to another room where the air conditioning worked, but there was no hot water and the toilet leaked.

Overall, the hotel was poorly maintained, and I found the management to be unprofessional and unwelcoming. Guests were also discouraged from bringing in outside bottled water. Additionally, I noticed the American flag displayed upside down at the hotel entrance. When I politely pointed this out to the manager, his response was, “Do you have a problem?” I chose not to argue and walked away.

The only staff member who made a positive impression was the porter, Fouad. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay. Unfo

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this charming boutique hotel in Essaouira. The staff were exceptional—warm, attentive, and always ready to help, making us feel truly welcome throughout our stay.

The location is perfect, just a short stroll from the beach, and the hotel itself is a peaceful haven. The pool and gardens are beautifully maintained, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere—ideal for unwinding.

Breakfast was delicious each morning, with a great selection to start the day. Overall, it’s a quiet, relaxing place that I’d happily return to and highly recommend, especially for a peaceful getaway with family.

Very worrying that the hotel photocopy passports and keep the copies “in a folder” indefinitely (we asked about their data protection and retention policy). Fair enough if they want to keep records of the visa entry numbers, but the obtaining and retaining of passport copies is unnecessary and despicable.
The range of breakfast could have been better (and fresher) - as vegetarians, we struggled to find options, which was disappointing.
The staff could be more prompt at fixing maintenance issues.

A Beautiful Disappointment

This hotel has the potential to be great, but instead left us extremely disappointed. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The front desk seemed to lack the ability to attend to customers in an orderly manner, and resorted to everyone pushing to the front of the desk in order to be attended to. We got a room that was advertised with a double bed, and two twin beds. What we received was two individually made twin beds pushed together to make a double bed, and a second twin bed. A third bed was promised at check in, but only arrived after we went back to the front desk and asked the status of it after a few hours. Every fixture in the bathroom was falling apart and required extra effort to make sure you didn't further break it. The beds and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable. Food on site is incredibly overpriced and underwhelming. There is a sign at the entrance where no outside food or beverage is allowed, forcing you to essentially purchase low quality food or eat offsite. The WiFi was so low quality, that internet was mostly unaccessible; Not just Netflix, but pretty much no website would load.

There are positives though! Plenty of taxis available right outside the gates which was a plus. A 50MAD five to ten minute ride to the airport, train station, or medina. The non front desk staff was courteous and helpful. The pools were excellent, both for children and adults. But get there early, as seating is limited.

Genuinely people.. AVOID!!!

Learn from others mistakes and avoid this hotel. Service by staff is the worst and rudest I have ever encountered in my life, no exaggeration. Location is not ideal at all. They don't have a fitness room, just a few machines that's all. Checked in room had no bath towels, took 2.5 hrs for someone to finally bring some. Wifi is very bad in the rooms. Spoke to one of the staff about the wifi and he said it was my phone, I said both my phones are not connecting. He said well that was tough and told me he was too busy to speak. I asked for the managers name and he refused to tell me. Seriously, go with a recognised worldwide brand, I would for sure next time. Even my riad two weeks earlier was so much better, the staff were fantastic - they actually cared! I wish I had taken notice of the other comments guests had made...very disappointing!

Nice Hotel in Need of Better Maintenance

This hotel is relatively new and looks nice. Spacious rooms, good facilities, great outdoor pool. Unfortunately, there is a lack to detail and proper maintenance. The staff is friendly, but very inefficient.
The wireless Internet in the lobby area hardly ever works. We pulled the Ethernet cable from the only cable connected PC in the lobby in order to get a moderate Internet connection. No Internet in the room at all.
Our room would require some maintenance jobs, for example, where the shower pipe comes out of the wall, a fist size hole is in the wall, holes in the ceiling, paint patches at many spots, etc. A safe would have been nice in a 4 star hotel. Bring your own toilet tissue, they don't replenish. They took all our towels in the morning, but brought new ones only after two reminders in the afternoon. We had been the only guests at checkout, but they still needed about 20 minutes to clarify the description of one position.
The hotel has potential for more, but the mgmt. seems to have flaws. Though, some of the staff is very nice and helpful.

“Terrible customer service and awful value for money”

As soon as we arrived we were made to feel like an inconvenience to the reception staff who didn't give us any information about our stay and simply pointed us in the direction of a room. The room, although nice enough, boasted stained bedding, towels with holes in and hairs in the dirty bathtub.

At dinner we were made to feel like second class citizens as we hadn't originally booked an evening meal. We were given conflicting information about the price by reception and the restaurant and faced a barrage of abuse from the aggressive restaurant manager when we raised the issue that the price was incorrect and the chicken was undercooked. He later tried to resolve this by plying us with free drinks when we complained about the service at reception.

The food in general is mass produced, badly cooked and horrendously overpriced, along with the drinks.

On a positive note, the ladies at the spa are wonderful and we had an amazing hammam to finish our visit.

In summary, I would not recommend this hotel unless you like being ripped off and paying for terrible customer service. Believe me, you will get better service at a £15 a night riad in the medina and get to see the real Morocco.

Nice hotel-remote location

We spent 4 nights at this hotel as part of a Cosmos Coach tour around Morocco. The tour was scheduled to assemble at the Zalagh Kasbah, so we checked in there one day earlier for convenience. The hotel is on the grand Moroccan style, built entirely around a large swimming pool and sun-bed area. It was too cool (late November) for any swimming but the pool was carefully maintained daily and was spotlessly clean. The public areas were impressive and the breakfast was perfectly adequate - more Continental than \"full English, or American\", with only scrambled egg, or pastillas as a hot option. There was plenty of breads, rolls pastries, salad items, cereals etc in the style of European hotels.
The only downside was the distance from the hotel to the Centre Ville (ie the Jemaa El Fna Square), where all the sights, souks and mosques are situated. It is some 4kms (at least) and is not on any public transport route. The hotel provides a limited free shuttle service-7 trips daily but the van broke down when we were there. We actually walked into the city using the Kotoubia Mosque minaret as a landmark - there is a pedestrian path lined with rose bushes on the right hand side of the roadway, and the walk is over completely flat land. It took 40 plus minutes. We had no safety concerns whatsoever. Otherwise pay no more that 40 dirrhams for a one-way petit taxi fare - every driver initially quotes 100 dirrhams, which is extortionate.

Nice hotel - a bit out of the way though

So, I booked this for one night because I arrived so late in Marrakech and I wanted to make sure I was in a safe location. This hotel is very beautiful and clean! The staff are friendly, but be careful as EVERYONE wants money - pretty much anyone who helps you in Marrakech expects money from you - except women and shopkeepers.

I had asked the Zalagh to arrange for a car to pick me up at the airport - and instead of a taxi which should have cost about $18, I was stuck with a sedan which cost me about $60. I told the driver that it was too much and we settled on $40. ALWAYS NEGOTIATE YOUR PRICES. Be specific about which car you want.

This hotel is the kind where people wait on you and expect tips, so be prepared for this. If you have money then go ahead and stay. It has a beautiful pool and the grounds are lovely.

The negative thing about this is that it is not in walking distance of the medina. It is tucked away by the new area where it is a mesh of new hotels, residences, and streets leading to the palace.

The room was nice though and it is the only \"Western\" style bathroom I saw during my entire trip in Morocco. There is also a TV and a nice balcony in each room.

Have stayed here several times. Normally ok for the price. This time it was different. Probably because the holiday season in Morocco has started.

The breakfast restaurant was overcrowded. Long waiting time for everything. Dirty plates. There are two breakfast restaurants at the hotel, but only one was in use.

Terrible service

I had one of the most terrible experiences at my first day out of 7 in this hotel. The staff work very unprofessional, very old fashion computers which delay the service a lot, so you need patience (a lot). There’s no air condition in the lobby, restaurant or anywhere else besides some rooms, and when it’s 40 degrees outside, you do notice. I didn’t get a room with a functioning air-condition. I had to complain a whole day over this and yell before they offered me another room at night. I had to pack all my stuff and repack which took me a couple of hours. The breakfast is so boring cause it’s almost the same you get everyday. There were insects at the coffee machine one day, so disgusting that I couldn’t drink my coffee. No electric kettle at our rooms so one could enjoy coffee or tea at the evenings - so all in all, such a BAD experience and a very lousy service. Will not recommend this place to anyone!
