Hotel Marrakech Le Semiramis

*Accommodation* Hotel is brilliant. The rooms are large and reasonably well-equipped, minus a safe, and the decor throughout the hotel is beautiful. *Pool* The pool is excellent, easily the best part of our experience. The poolside bar is good but moderately expensive (20dh for large water and 35dh for a beer). There is a towel rental stall at the poolside also (100dh per towel). *Restaurant* The restaurant is hit and miss, as others have mentioned. Breakfast is adequate with good with lots of variety, despite a lack of fruit. Lunch/dinner were less enjoyable and gluten free options (and understanding of gluten intolerance) were scarce. Only recommendation is the "poulet mariné et grillé à la plancha". *Service* This is unfortunately where our experience was tainted. Towards the end of our stay, we had 200dh stolen from our room by a maid whilst on an evening excursion. Upon informing reception, I was met with an infuriatingly unconcerned response from the receptionist, "its only 20 euros", after eventually admitting that she could, in fact, understand what I was saying. I have seen other reviews stating that they have had items/money stolen from their rooms and, in the absence of a safe, I can only recommend you either keep valuables with you or simply avoid this hotel.

In years gone by I bet this hotel was fantastic! Truth now is the place is very very tired and in need of alot of maintenance. The gardens are beautiful and probably would have been very relaxing if there wasn't a new hotel right next door that was under construction. There are big chunks missing out of tiles on stairway. Tiles missing from the pool bottom and sides. Threadbare towels in the bathrooms. Unbelievably dirty public toilets in the basement. The breakfasts are incredibly basic. Salad, cheese, ham. Pastries.fresh made omelette. The same every day.The hotel is a good 10 mins by taxi to the main square. It's a good hour walk. Alcohol in the hotel ( to be expected) is very expensive. To summerise, if you get a bargain (as we did) it will do for a few days or a week. Other than that I'd stay somewhere else which is a shame because with a lot of tlc and a breakfast shake up this place could be amazing.
