Royal Mirage Deluxe Marrakech

Good accessible spot. Quality of beds/mattresses is good. The chef has some good ideas and his cutting style is very good. However they use the cheapest "beldi" (peasant) olive oil in the moroccan market which smells like old trousers (fermented and oxidised) and which destroys the taste of the very good fresh vegetables and wastes the chef's efforts. They put the same awful oil on the breakfast table too.

The hotel is very kitsch and from another era in terms of decor. It is worn out and although they seem to do their best at maintaining the public areas the rooms have simply had it. Linoleum - phoney wood - floors are all damaged and curled up and furniture varnish and paint (especially in bathroom) is dead with a big D. Whoever decorated this place should run away to a desert island or go meditate up the Khyber pass and not come back - in the interest of humanity. Given the age of the place, he's hopefully retired away..

The staff were all very nice and pleasant.

The hotel is very old and dirty. The chair in my bedroom was broken, All the door on the wardrobes were falling off. The terrace door was broken and did not close. The wooden floor in the bedroom is disintegrating and lifting up. The toilet floor was dirty. All the corridors are dirty and smelly. The food in the buffet dinner was absolutely disgusting, inedible.
