Nice estate & bad service

Nice grounds, little dated but nicely kept up hotel. Really nice pool area and grounds, well located within Marrakesh. What's truly lacking is the service. 1. The driver to the airport didn't turn up for 20 minutes and the hotel didn't pick up the phone. Not a nice welcome. 2. Random man walk into your room without knocking at 22:30 in the evening with 'waters'. Strange timing & knocking definitely needed. 3. Do not disturb sign totally disregarded. Again, without knocking a woman barges into the room in the morning, searching for another guest. When sent out, reception calls calling that other guest's name (totally different from mine). They could have easily check who is staying in the room, should not have disregarded the do not disturb sign etc. Somehow staff also make a point of not greeting anyone, just looking the other way when one says hello.

What a crashing disappointment. In 30 years, 49 countries, and a few hundred hotels, I've never felt compelled to complain (I know some people are serial complainers - that's not me) or leave a bad review. Housekeeping, reception staff etc were all great, and physically the hotel is nice and well appointed... ...but crumbs, the management, policies, and F&B staff were beyond woeful. Having bags rifled through on the door (we saw an elderly couple having water confiscated - in 40 degree heat), waiting 30 minutes and after three chases getting service from a pool bar (multiple times, I may add)... but worst, having selected a couple of loungers on the completely empty terrace next to our room (with no signage whatsoever saying it was restricted - and even then, we arrived after the 18:00 restriction time), we were ordered to leave by first a member of bar staff, my partner still dripping wet, then guest relations (!), and threatened with a fine of 500 Dirham if we didn't leave immediately. Never have I been so appalled by what claims to be a 5 star hotel - the Raffles, the Peninsula, Nobu, and frankly, a even a Travelodge puts this hotel to shame.

Beautiful property, great location, safe neighbourhood. Lovely rooms. Meal at SO Lounge was delicious. Didn’t feel the same with lunch by the pool or the breakfast. In terms of service, it always felt as if what we asked for was a bother - I asked for a clarification since I had booked a room that included breakfast (had the email to confirm), they said it wasn’t included and that they would connect with the reservations team to determine the problem. Never heard from anyone with any clarification.

I recently stayed at the Sofitel and was impressed by the beautiful surroundings — the hotel is clean, stylish, and well-maintained, with lovely interiors that create a luxurious atmosphere. However, the service didn’t match the setting. While there were plenty of staff around, there seemed to be a lack of communication between them. Requests were often delayed or forgotten, and it felt like no one really knew what was going on. The service was noticeably slow throughout the stay, which took away from the overall experience. A stunning hotel with great potential, but the management and coordination behind the scenes need serious improvement.

Poor check-in experience and I was actually asked to exit the pool aggressively because I was wearing a shirt. The individual I was dealing with just kept saying it was forbidden and when I asked why, he simply said it’s forbidden that’s all you need to know. Once I talked to our actual server (who was apologizing profusely on behalf of the other gentleman), and I explained to him that it was to keep the sun off of me and was a quick-dry water shirt, he went “oh” and talked to his manager who then agreed to let me in the pool with my shirt on. English is definitely a barrier and the whole experience was certainly off-putting and slightly embarrassing with everyone around and witnessing the entire ordeal, especially for this caliber of hotel. They also went after a couple of other individuals for various issues while I was there as well. Rooms were great but I might choose another hotel next time I’m looking for a place to stay nearby.
