Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay in La Citadelle was wonderful. The location itself is a good balance with the all-senses experience of Marrakech. The 45 minute drive is worth it. A rental car is a good way to combine Ourika/Imlil/Anima garden with Marrakech. For around €35 a taxi will take you from Marrakech to la Citadelle. Nadia is an excellent host, and cook. The garden and villa are gorgeous. The pool is large and clean. The interior and architecture of la Citadelle are jaw-dropping beautiful.

A lovely hotel, well maintained with lots of history and some stunning decor. Nadia and her husband (Geward?), are brilliant hosts and, together with the other staff, make it a relaxing, fun and most enjoyable place to stay. Clean hotel, with lovely gardens, with loads of secret/secluded places to have lunch or just retreat from the sun for a bit and the food is amazing. We will definitely be coming back, even if it is just for a long weekend. Me and my partner wanted a weeks break away, where we could relax and destress, and we got that and more at this hotel. We had a jacuzzi bath in our room, which was wonderful, but note that there is no steam room, gym or full service spa (Expedia - please update your information) - although you can go for a run in the area around the hotel and Nadia will be very happy to organise and book treatments at her favourite spa, which the Hammam and zen massage she arranged for us was amazing!

Séjour inoubliable dans un cadre exceptionnel

Nous avons passé un incroyable séjour dans ce lieu unique d’un charme absolu. Il y a de quoi s’émerveiller à chaque recoin de cette grande Citadelle, entre la chambre, les pièces de vie et les jardins, tout est entretenue et soignée à la perfection. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et conviviaux, que de superbes moments passés en leur compagnie. En plus de cela, Nadia concocte de merveilleux plats marocains et Jawad se débrouille pas trop mal à la pétanque 😁 Merci pour tout & A très bientôt.
