Les Borjs de la Kasbah

"A wonderful home away from home: lovely staff, nice food, clean rooms, practical information, relax and informal atmosphere etc etc. If you want to learn more about Maroccan quisine: book the cooking class at their kitchen, a wonderful experience!"

"A lovely traditional style hotel within the old city walls in the Kasbah area in Marrakesh. There are three things beautiful about staying here. One is the building itself which is a beautiful renovation of five old houses to make a really stylish and comfortable and quiet hotel. The rooms (picture) are so attractive and well presented. The second is the food in the restaurant, both the breakfasts with lots of freshly prepared dishes and then the dinners in the wonderfully atmospheric courtyard is an experience in itself. The third is the staff - they are so welcoming, helpful and efficient. They always have time for you, and make you feel an honoured guest and friend. Do find out about the history of the renovation. Do sample the breakfast pastries (home made) and do taste the Lamb Tagine for dinner. They also have a superb selection of Moroccan wines and, as we run a wine society in our village in England, we took advantage and tasted 4 of the 5 reds while we were there. All really excellent. Shame we weren't staying longer to finish the list! The pool is well maintained and we could see from our bedroom window that it was being fully serviced every morning. My wife enjoyed her massage in the spa, at a very reasonable price. The only slight downside is that it is a 20 minute walk to the main square, but on the plus side the distance adds to the quietness of the street the hotel is in."

"Tucked away in the Kasbah area of the old town this is a beautiful Riad constructed out of several properties in the early 2000s. It is clear a lot of thought and love has gone into the property, which is full of Moroccan charm. Whilst the Medina is absolute chaos, Les Borjs provides a peaceful escape. Its a 20-30 minute walk to the main square and souks, with plenty of street food and cafe options along the way (the staff provide guests with a local map and talk through the main sites and best routes). An excellent breakfast is included with fresh fruits, juices, omelettes, cakes, etc (there is no in-room coffee facilities). Service is outstanding with nothing too much trouble - the team will gladly answer any questions about the area, arrange taxis, etc. and there are also some trips bookable from the hotel. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if visiting Marrakech."
