I have stayed here 3 times and love the location. It's quiet, away from the noise of the Medina. It's a 20 minute walk to Jamaa el fna and the train station. A 10 minute walk to the bus station so its handy for transport links. It's in Gueliz which is handy as we always come during Ramadan (to avoid the crowds. Seriously surprised everybody else does not come!!!) And McDonalds in gueliz is the only place we can find open for lunch.The apartment is large. Separate bedroom, lounge/ kitchinette plus bathroom. AC, good wi-fi and breakfast too for great price.However, now for the bad news. It is a little rundown. The bathrooms are tatty, some things do not work, fridge TV and ac on separate occasions. The receptionist was off hand once and kept my passports so I had to go back and get them when I realised he did not give them back to me!!!!! Highly unprofessional, or maybe my french is not good enough to entirely understand him? Anyway if you come here remember to complain if you encounter these things ( in french, ah merde!!!).

While the hotel is not exactly in the old medina, which many tourists prefer, it does have a great location near the Fena Square and other main attractions. I stayed in it twice, and there isn't much to complain about except the noise. Make sure that your room overlooks the swimming pool and not the street, or otherwise, you will wake up from your sleep many times by people fighting in this busy street. Staff are extremely polite and helpful.

Room is very big and bathroom is very big. Room has one living room and bedroom with balcony. For cleaness l gave 4 stars. For Morrocan standard is very clean. Breakfast is every day the same with egg and croissant, juice and coffee or tea. This hotel is 20 mins from centre. It is in very modern district across there are a lot of stores like Zara, Monsoon, adidas and other. There are a lot of restaurants with great food. Very good.

A bit tired but very friendly staff who go out of their way to be helpful. Comfortable , firm bed. Nice clean sheets with bolster and additional pillows....

A bit tired but very friendly staff who go out of their way to be helpful. Comfortable , firm bed. Nice clean sheets with bolster and additional pillows. Clean towels every day . We didn't use it to cook but electric hob, pots,crockery and cutlery all provided. Fridge handy for water and juice. Breakfast very nice and very typical. Boiled eggs, preserves and cheese . Variety of freshly made local bread, choc au pain and sweet traditional pastries, , Freshly squeezed orange juice and a choice of coffees, milk or teas. Waiters are lovely and can't do enough for you.Across the road is a non touristy local market where we found the people extremely friendly , non pushy and welcoming. Wish them a good morning and be friendly and they will return it in spades. Excellent position to walk down to the hubbub of the central square and the noisy, bustling souks. Took us a gentle stroll of about 15 mins , depending on stops to look in the parks on the main Mohammed 6 th road. Plenty choices of restaurants on the way down but more expensive than on the back streets or stalls on the square. We preferred being located here as the medina is very busy and noisy. Found this the best of both worlds. Has a small pool and a Would base ourselves in this area again.

i have been to many hotels in marrakesh, this was the best, undoubtedly the staff, the cleaners, and everything, i would deffo use it over n over again, this hotels based in Gueliz, the modern city, always used the local bus to get around, loads to do nearby, i got this as a room only, i knew where and what i was doing,

Had a fantastic stay at the hotel. Our room had a balcony and separate living room which made a huge difference. We didn't feel as enclosed when your only in one room. Only downside was the hot plate wasn't working so we couldnt make our morning morrocan mint tea but the restaurant downstairs supplied tea so no drama. For value you can't really get any better.

I stayed at Assounfou from the 7th - 12th July with my son (22 years) and daughter (16 years). We had a very pleasant stay. Two particular receptionists Hamza & Tami were extremely helpful and made our stay there much better. Both were patient with us and gave us advice of where to visit, taxi fares ranges, printed our boarding passes etc. The other receptionist called Leila was not friendly and seemed as if she was getting irritated by my questions. So in the end I just waited for when Hamza or Tami came on duty.Our hotel room was a lovely size. Spacious living room, little fridge , one plate stove (we didn't cook anything on it) nice sized shower & toilet and bedroom with three medium sized beds. The cleaner called Halima was so lovely and she communicated to us is Arabic and we spoke to her in basic English but somehow we chatted to each other and enjoyed our chats. We didn't say goodbye to her because she was off duty when we left. The so called continental breakfast was not great at all. No variety just two croissants, egg, some big bun, orange juice or tea. The restaurant staff were initially quite rude then got much better as the time went on....maybe language barrier at the beginning. There was a small pool in the back but we didn't use it but saw other people in there enjoying themselves. Assounfou is closley situated to the Carre Eden shopping centre, lots of ATMs around and places to eat out and change our money.....very cheap holiday for us since the GBP is very powerful against the local currency (Dirham). Be careful of taxi firms they will rip you off though! I would stay at Assounfou again because the positives outweigh the negatives.
