Hotel les Cinq Djellabas

The property boasts a modern, well-maintained pool and attentive staff providing exceptional service. Guests appreciate the serene garden setting, delicious breakfast options, and elegant, spacious rooms with comfortable beds.

First of all the on site staff are all amazing and could not have been more helpful and hospitable during our visit - Thank you ! ...................BUT..........the whole hotel needs a bit of love and given there was only 2 other people there when we stayed there are no excuses...........and its not surprising the place is so quiet. The food is at best average, breakfast is offered privately outside your room (which is a really lovely touch) but its basic (a cut up apple in OJ is NOT a fruit salad!?) and I don't expect to pay extra for eggs or an extra cup of tea and coffee in a 5 start hotel should not be Nescafé! The pool area is beautiful (and a treat to have it to ourselves) but they don't even put up the umbrellas and the very tired cover, which I assume is only used in winter sits there at the end of the pool, little touches would just make it look that much more inviting. The other food we tried was again simple and not inexpensive but the Rose was at least very well priced and delicious! The rooms are lovely and the beds very comfortable etc but I had to ask for an upgrade after seeing my identical room available online for over 20% less than I had paid!? They did upgrade us at no extra cost but it would still have been cheaper to book via Mr Mrs Smith (who I am sure have not visited in a long time given there own high standards!?) The hotel is located about 20mins away from town in a very peaceful and what seemed extremely secure neighborhood (don't be alarmed by the arrival route) and they ordered us a very good transfer into town and back (€20 each way which can add up but we appreciated the complementary transfers to and from the airport). I fear that until they have more customers things wont and cant change - more customers, more atmosphere, more people staying for dinner etc etc. I hope they don't give up on this amazing opportunity but it feels like this hotel might have had its best days....................

A real "boutique" hotel! 10 separate thatched rooms dotted round the gardens. We had one of the smaller ones and it was lovely! Terrific shower, comfortable beds & extremely peaceful location. The pool is excellent, lovely warm water, necessary in February, and plenty of sunbeds. Breakfast outside your room is v. pleasant, coffee, orange juice, pastries etc. The lunch snack menu could do with being expanded a little and also it would be nice to have different choices of food in the evening rather than the same menu every day. We enjoyed the food, all beautifully cooked and presented and the wine here is cheap, 50% less or more, that in the Medina. For a lazy break, sitting by the pool with a book you couldn't want for more. I'd avoid the Ourika Valley day out though; we enjoyed it, but it was SO touristy that we felt a bit like a cash crop - which of course we are! However our driver was good fun & we felt very safe on the chaotic roads.
