Hostel Dar Margot Marrakech

Location is very good, close to madina, streets very quiet at night, riad was quiet, too. Breakfast was delicious, nice roof area for sitting outside, loved that our room had a window and we could leave it open, doors have locks.

Everything was good.

The location is exceptional - it is in Medina and close to Souk and other tourist attractions. Breakfast was simple but delicious. Michel was amazing - he gave us recommendations, told us stories about Morocco and made us feel as at home. Highly recommend staying at Dar Margot in Marrakesh!

Very friendly and welcoming staff who were always happy to help. The rooftop area was really nice and a great place to relax. Overall, it was a good experience and I would consider staying here again. Since I travelled winter time it even came with perfectly working heater which does not seem to be standard in this range of stays.

Coming from the central square Jemaa el Fna at nights (after footy matches for the AFCON) had a bit of a taste and left me experiencing one or two uncomfortable situations. Nothing to do with the location itself but worth mentioning.

Since we had to catch a flight at 9 a.m., we had to check out at 5:30 a.m. and therefore didn't receive breakfast. The place we stayed at was a converted typical residential house into a hotel located about a 20-minute walk from the central Medina area in Marrakech. We chose it based on reviews, but the neighborhood itself didn't seem safe. When my family went out for dinner, many people approached to offer help, but it was difficult to gauge their intentions. We had been under the impression that the accommodation had a parking lot, so we brought our car, but there was no parking lot. When we tried to park along the roadside in front of the accommodation, a local approached us, claiming he had leased that spot from the government and demanded payment for parking. The hotel staff, seemingly intimidated, failed to mention an alternative parking recommended by them and insisted we pay the man. Consequently, we ended up being scammed in front of the hotel staff. When the hotel owner arrived and realized the situation was unsafe, we eventually had to pay 70DH to park in a paid parking lot affiliated with the hotel.

I wasn't pleased with the location from the start. Of course, having traveled with my family to over 40 countries and booked numerous accommodations, I've become adept at finding suitable places even in unfortunate circumstances. In this case, despite careful consideration, the satisfaction level was disappointingly low. Firstly, while the hotel owner seemed plausible in conversation, we couldn't obtain any local information or assistance beyond providing the actual room.
