Kasbah Caracalla
The staff was nice and helpful. They made special meals for us in light of our dietary restrictions. The ambience of the hotel was fair. The staff was helpful and kind. The only problem we had was the location of the hotel. It was in the middle of nowhere, most of the taxi drivers had trouble finding the place, and then would want to charge us extra from the city center to get there. So what you may be thinking of a good rate for a room, but you actually end up paying an extra $25 in cab fare....More

Les Borjs de la Kasbah
4 star accomodations with 5 star treatment by the staff. You are treated like a queen or king once you set foot in Les Borjs. You really have everything you need at this hotel. A great place to escape the heat, smells, and everything that is Marrakesh...trust me you need it! I think a major bonus was the pool, because it is greatly appreciated in late August in 46 C. The poolside bar is also a bonus....who doesn't enjoy a cold drink by the pool? Breakfast is included which includes assorted pastries, egg, jams, orange juice, crepes, coffee. It is not the best... I would have liked some variety and less bread. There was a dinner and entertainment package on the day of our arrival which I highly recommend if available. It included two different groups of local musical performers, a belly dancer, a henna tattoo artist, and a 4 course meal which included...chicken pastilla, assorted vegtable tangine, lamb cous cous, fruit salad. It was the best meal I had in Marrakesh, but be warned that it is a lot of food! Room was very spacious and decorated very nicely. Another bonus of internet access. I didn't really like the location b/c it is quite an "interesting walk" through kasbah to get to the Medina and Souks. You also have to trek away quite a bit for food outside the hotel. We did get lucky and found a wonderful japanese restaurant nearby...Tatchibana. I also wish they had better tour/trip packages available at the hotel....More

Riad El Ghalia
The hotel is nice, looks lovely, rooms are just OK, spacious but a little dirty. What is bad about this is the location, it's just horrible. It's exteremly hard to find the place, I found it with the help of a local kid. But it is in a BAD neighborhood. You could tell right when you got there. Even our tour guide said to not walk around there at night, that it was pretty dangerous. And since the main street is like a 5 min walking distance, which you DO NOT want to do at night, you have to stay in and have dinner at the hotel. The hotel restaurant is nice, but VERY expensive, especially compared to Moroccan standards. It was the equivalent to an expensive dinner in California....More
