4.5 star ratingPeaceful, beautiful surroundings, great food, friendly and helpful staff. Not as "shiny" as the pictures look but a few rough edges give more character if you ask me. Hotel Ksar Shama is the perfect get-away! I regret not booking a few more nights and I will definitely go back some day.Ida18 January 2011
4.5 star ratingWe really loved this hotel. The location was fabulous - the views are spectacular at all times of the day and night. The sunrise over the mountains and the broad expanse of the night time sky is really something to experience more than just see. The room was very comfortable with lovely old world charm. I would definitely stay at this hotel again when visiting Marrekech.The hotel is about an hour away from Marrekech and we were able to find it without a map after taking a wrong turn and asking for directions. For a first time traveler trying to find it in the dark on winding old roads it was a challenge, If there was something more at the website regarding directions, we may have missed that point. The food was good at the on site restaurant however in comparison to the cost of the rooms, it seemed expensive. We spent the same amount of money on two days worth of meals at local establishments (4 meals total since breakfast is included at the hotel) as we did in one night at the hotel.06 March 2011

2.5 star ratingLovely setting and pool. The room was spacious {superior double] The grounds are well kept. waiting and ground staff friendly. Vey limited choice of food. Some simple morocan dishes, would have been good. Breakfast entirely bread and suger.Some fruit, goats cheese and olives would cost very little and make for a balanced meal. Half the wine list was not in stock. Food was relatively expensive for the quality offered. Though wasnt sufficient attention to detail of the staff in servicing the room. sheets may well have been clean but they were crumpled which is not what you expect. the air conditioning remote didnt work, new batteries required. The furniture in the room was rustic which is fine bur poor condition which is not. There was a really bad smell in the room from the drains which was overpowering. There was only one sun lounger on each room terrace , are two people supposed to share ? .No moscito net on room window. The maid threw a bag of rubbish on our terrace before we left to let us know she was in a hurry. There was no information on prices of food displayed in reception we had to ask, no printed or even hand written menus. no information about excursions or maps in reception. most of the time we had to go and look for a member of staff. When paying our bill we were told that we couldnt pay by card as their was no line connection to the card company , we were asked to drive to a cash point, there was no change in local currency and we had to accept it in euros! With good management this place could be so much better. Everycloud19 September 2011
