1001 nights in the city of Marrakech! An excellent experience for us. Clean and inviting room with a nice bathroom and a comfortable bed. It even had it’s own fireplace. Quite popular and crowded topside, the rooftop bar and restaurant serves good food and drinks. Quite chilly, so bring a jacket if you visit outside summer season. All in all a place I gladly recommend and will revisit.

Another fantastic stay at El Fenn. This property is beautiful, every corner you turn there’s another delight in store. The rooftop bar is buzzy and fun. Would be great if they served non alcoholic beer but otherwise a truly wonderful experience.

Absolutely my new favorite hotel. The architecture and interiors of El Fenn are outstanding, and the service is amazing. We arranged airport pickup in advance, then escorted directly to the hotel which is convenient to all restaurants and sights within the Medina. We arrived early (like 7am) and as our rooms were not yet available, we enjoyed breakfast on the rooftop and after a tour of the property, were given a large suite to rest and freshen up. The staff was always available and were helpful to arrange a car service, hammam appointments, a tour guide, and answer all of our questions. Our room was comfortable and clean, and especially cozy with a small fire every evening before bed. The children had a smaller room, but it also had a fireplace, large bathroom, and the WiFi was excellent (teenagers). They have thought of all the little details at El Fenn that make a hotel experience exceptional.

This is among the most unique properties in the world. The service is second to none and whoever designed the hotel should win a gold medal somewhere. Everything about El Fenn was excellent and as advertised. I rarely give feedback from travels, choosing to write about a place that is very very bad or excellent. In between doesn’t much matter to me. El Fenn? Gets a ten!

Beautiful hotel and lovely staff, but style outweighed substance for us El Fenn is a beautiful, stylish hotel in a great location, and the staff were excellent throughout our stay: warm, helpful and professional. The interiors and rooftop views are striking, so I understand why many guests love it. However, for us, the overall experience did not quite justify the price. Although multiple pools are advertised, the only pool area that felt genuinely usable was the small rooftop pool; the others felt more like decorative or architectural features. Breakfast was delicious, but choice was limited, and evening dining was disappointing for the cost. The dining area also lacked atmosphere and felt more functional than special. The rooftop bar is attractive, but as it is open to non-residents it became very busy with people taking photos. Combined with outside guests using the bar and dining areas, it made the hotel feel less relaxing and less exclusive than expected. The mandatory locally collected charge appeared mainly to be a 7.5% service fee rather than a tax, and a 7.5% service charge was also added to food and drinks. We were happy to tip individual staff additionally where deserved, as they were a highlight, but the overall level of added charges felt excessive given the room rates and the number of non-residents using the facilities. Overall, El Fenn is photogenic, well located and staffed by lovely people, but for us the substance did not match the style or cost.

This is a great hotel - we really enjoyed our stay. It is really beautifully decorated with quiet courtyards and marble staircases. It feels very homely with extremely polite and attentive staff. The location is perfect - steps away from the bustle of the medina, yet not too hidden away down alleyways - definitely an oasis of calm to relax in after a morning wandering the souks. The rooftop restaurant was superb - plentiful breakfasts, and the best food we ate in Marrakech for dinner. The rooftop terrace as a whole was the best we visited, with separate areas for the restaurant, bar (with a great atmosphere in evenings) and the pool area. The rooftop pool was impressively sized: there were two smaller pools on the ground floor as well but the roof one was definitely the best. It's not cheap. Other riads may have similar beautiful interiors (although unlikely such a nice pool, most look more decorative). The small room was smaller than I expected, and we didn't have a bath (most of the pictures on their website do...) There's an extra mandatory daily service charge of around 30 euros. However the overall set up is incredibly welcoming and relaxing, the location perfect, the food delicious, and we would definitely stay again tomorrow if we could.
