My wife and I stayed at this hotel over Christmas booking flights with Easyjet and the hotel with lastminute.com. The hotels name is L Atlas ASNI Marrakech which is about 25 years old and beginning to need some serious TLC. Cracks are beginning to appear around doorframes and interior walls, bathrooms are in need of attention having cracked / chipped sinks, broken tiles and rusty taps. There is an urgent need to dry-clean the furniture and carpets in the hallways and reception areas and seating in the dining rooms. Saying all this, our accommodation was comfortable enough, not 4 star, but a reasonable 3 star there was however a distinct lack of drawers for clothes storage which would be a problem for a two-week holiday. We also managed to get a double-bedded room which are not the norm and extremely scarce! Food was a real let down other travellers have also commented on this. Breakfast consisted of scrambled or boiled eggs, a selection of breads and jam, orange juice, tea, coffee, salads & cheese. The evening meals fared little better; these were ALWAYS lukewarm despite going in early. The soup was always potato, lukewarm and tasteless. Main courses consisted of fish either pan-fried or oven baked plus a meat dish lamb or chicken with choices of rice or spaghetti plus vegetables and salads. Deserts were always the same, dry cake or something that resembled cheesecake, no cream, custard or ice cream. Most evenings, fresh oranges were available which we took to our room. Having stayed in 4 star hotels for at least the past 15 years both on business and pleasure, I can put my hand on heart and state that the food lacked any imagination or culinary skill whatsoever with little attention being paid to taste or local themes. Given the countrys past relationship with France and the noticeable presence of French and Italian guests, I wonder how they have the nerve to serve such low quality food. We were booked in on a half board option but only ate in the restaurant on 3 occasions we were so disappointed with the food perhaps Gordon Ramsey could call in for a few days to sort them out! We have no complaints regarding the staff who we found to be extremely polite and helpful despite the language barrier mentioned on other reports. Bedrooms were cleaned daily with fresh bedding and towels, which really have seen better days. There is only 1 English speaking news channel on the hotels TV and no English radio stations. Would I go back? probably not as there are to many hotels vying for business offering better packages. If I did, it most certainly wouldnt be on a half board basis. My advice is, if this hotel is your only choice, stay on a B&B basis (there is no room only option) eating out at one of the many local restaurants for the evening meal.
