After 3 nights in Marrakesh we were looking for a little bit of luxury. Sad to say that despite the enticing photographs, this place did not meet my expectations, especially given the cost of the stay. The staff were delightful (although they charged us excessive amounts of money for a bottle of water, and then claimed money for them to take a taxi to check out bus timetables when in fact they rode their bike there and back) but the hotel itself was pretty shabby and the facilities were non-existent.

Hannan at the front desk and the other women on staff are so welcoming and helpful. Hannan gave us a very good explanation of the city and medina. The location of the hotel is really perfect, so close to everything. It was only a 5 minute walk to the Medina and less than 1 minute to the beach. There were a few downsides to our stay however. Our room had an awful, musty smell. We could not escape it, even with the windows open. It seeped into our clothing and every time we came back into the room, it would overwhelm us. The heating/air conditioning unit did not work and the door knob fell off our door. The pool was also moldy and uninviting. However I will say that the beds were very comfortable and the staff made up for the less attractive parts of the hotel.

Rundown and in need of work...disappointing

Overpriced hotel that is inconsistent with claims made on website. The staff were great and very friendly and helpful but had to be constantly apologetic about the terrible state of the hotel. This hotel would have been fabulous 20 years ago but is now not maintained properly. The rooms smell and the walls are dirty. The breakfast was really good and the staff member who served the breakfast was very friendly and helpful. However overall not worth the high cost per night. Pool and surrounds would have been very nice a decade ago but has since been let go...it is a shame

The location is brilliant, everything else is fairly average. We've been staying at similar priced properties for a week so not what to expect in Morocco. The hotel, sorry to say it, had a faint smell of urine and the decor needs updating.

Sweet hotel by the ocean.

Great hotel just by the beach. I went with my sister. As per the rest of Morocco we were harrassed until we got to the door. Once we were in it was lovely. The girl at the front desk is lovely. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. The grounds aren't huge but there is tonnes to do by the beach. The medina is also close by.

Extremely poor value for money

We had booked a suite with twin beds which was quite expensive for Morocco. When we got there hey did not have this available and tried to fob us off with a standard twin room and then a suite with a double bed - we are two friends so did not wish to share a bed. The rooms we were offered were grubby and smelled of damp - I could have cried -we had been so looking forward to this, and the cost was twice as much as we had paid for a beautiful Riad in Marrakesh. We checked out and went to a far better standard hotel 20 yards away for the same money

The girl on the reception was fantastic =) She made everything to do our stay better (not intrusive): changed "not working fridge", ordered a bikes for rent & smiling every time.

lovely staff and stay, great location

Great location just outside the walled town. Exceptionally comfy bed in a nice room, though slightly rough around the edges like the rest of the hotel. Some super friendly and helpful staff, the speed is relaxed at best but that is Morocco! We enjoyed the sheltered pool area and enjoyed a kid free zone and the lovely 'sister hotel' which had a wonderful roof terrace, courtyard and spa. For the value this is a great option.

Small hotel full of charm

This is a charming hotel, close to the Medina but not so close that there was unwanted noise. The standard of cleanliness was outstanding and the service was very attentive. Being a small hotel, staff remembered our breakfast preferences for example. The enclosed garden is beautiful and provides sunny spaces on days when the wind is too strong to go to the beach. The mezzanine library is a perfect touch. The only negative was the unreliability of the complementary wifi. Strongly recommended for families, couples, or singles.

Lovely hotel, very close to the beach and the medina. Staff were very helpful. I celebrated my 60th birthday whilst there and the staff were fantastic allowing us to take over the library and the maids decorated our room while we were out....great fun. Will definitely go back. The only slight criticism would be that we didn't always get fresh orange juice at breakfast depending who was serving, but only had to ask!

A pleasant, peaceful experience

Staying at the Hotel Vagabond was a pleasant, peaceful experience after the hurly-burly of Marrakesh. Our room was spacious and cool, although noisy from the street below. The staff were helpful and courteous. The hotel and the pool are both in need of a facelift. However, it's just a stroll from the beach and it has a pretty garden. The breakfast was excellent. Altogether, good value for money.
