Hotel Les Cinq Djellabas

This 10-bungalow boutique hotel is excellent in every way: quiet location 20 minutes from the medina, beautiful architecture and interior design with an African touch, pleasant garden to have your meals and relax in to the sound of birds, lovely heated pool with sufficient loungers for every guest, 5* service with attentive staff, and above all, excellent food. I didn't try the massages. A small drawback: on certain evenings, the entertainment of a hotel 1 km away can be heard, but it is limited in time, precisely so as not to disturb the neighbors too much. I would gladly return to this hotel!

I mention only a small detail: propose a better espresso to the few coffee lovers. Though, that won't stop me from returning :)

Hotel Les Cinq Djellabas is the most amazing hotel - we absolutely loved our stay and are already planning a return visit. There are 10 individual beautiful lodges in the stunning grounds (we were serenaded with bird song while eating breakfast outside our lodge) and a gorgeous pool. And the staff are so kind, thoughtful and attentive. It is located a quick and easy drive from the Old Town of Marrakech so the hotel combines the exclusive restful boutique hotel vibe with being able to dip into the vibrancy and energy of Marrakech historic old town.

We didn't like that we had to leave!

Amazing staff and beautiful surroundings. Pick ups and drop offs to town were seamless. Lovely breakfast. Only a few very small negatives - menu could be slightly more varied and coffee making facilities in the room would have been appreciated. If you have a massage, have it in your room! Felt very vulnerable as people could, and did, walk in to the room we were being massaged in!!!

We had an incredible time at Hotel Les Cinq Djellabas. If you're looking for some peace and calm outside of the buzz of Marrakesh, this is the place to stay! With complimentary daily transport into the centre, this made it an easy way to explore.

A beautiful tranquil oasis which is within a short taxi ride into the hustle of Marrakesh. Simple and uncomplicated, but done very well. Tasteful and comfortable. The staff are truly beautiful people….. smiling and helpful.

An exceptional stay all round- couldn’t fault anything! The hotel is so peaceful and the rooms are huge and beautifully decorated. The food is delicious- the staff are so attentive and set up a beautiful sundowner on the terrace for us and set up dinner in the garden wherever we wanted. A special shout out for Majid who gave us great recommendations for dinner in Marrakech and made sure our stay was perfect. The hotel also offer free transfers into Marrakech if you stay for three nights or more which was amazing and let us explore the city. One of our favourite places we’ve ever stayed- will 100% be back!

Everything was just perfect!

I liked that there was plenty of space between the detached accommodation houses, I like the pool, it’s furniture, shade from the trees, and the poolhouse/bar.The staff were very helpfulThe food was goodThe concierge were accommodating and swift

The service level is unseen. We staff wanted us to become the laziest person on the world during our holiday, in the positive way :). Beautifull accomodation. Lovely breakfast.

No coffee machine on the room.

The hotel was perfect. The rooms were very spacious, the pool area was perfect, nice and quiet. The staff were all so nice and very attentive.

This property was outstanding, from the moment you stepped out of the transfer it oozed tranquility and simple luxury. The staff were always smiling and happy to help with anything we needed. We stayed in room 6 which was just beautiful, better than the photos! The private suites (huts in the gardens around the pool) had a very African feel, with wicker roofs and beautiful furniture. All amenities were provided, robes, slippers, minibar, tv etc. The only thing I would add to the room would be a coffee machine! However - breakfast was delivered to your room at whatever time suited you, where you could eat at table outside - there were pancakes and fruit and pastries, fresh Oj and hot coffee in a thermo flask (great idea!). The vibe was peaceful at all times of the day and night. There is 10 rooms so the pool area was never loud or crowded.The sunbeds were comfortable and the staff would bring drinks to the pool for you as well as serve lunch at your sunbed or set up a table in the garden for you to eat. We ate dinner both nights we stayed at the hotel. It was very romantic, candlelit in the garden. The quality of the food was suberb; we ate the keftas, the chicken and the lamb tagine, the pastilla (my favourite), the burettes and the mixed Morrocan salads. We had some lovely French wine and they made a great Virgin Mojito. I cannot fault a second of our stay at Le Cinq Dejellabas. It was such a relaxing and much needed start to our holiday in Marrakech. I will be recommending this hotel for anyone wanting to split their time between the medina and the palmerie. The hotel did also provide transfers to the medina if guests wanted to eat elsewhere of an evening, we just did not use this facility.

Nothing - except the drive to the property from the airport goes slightly off the beaten track but if you know to expect this it is not a problem.

Room, setting, peaceful. A welcome retreat from the busyness of the Medina. Very good food and not too far from town to enjoy many of the great restaurants just outside the Medina (though taxis are required and best arranged via the hotel).

Breakfast was fine croissants yogurt etc had to pay extra for eggs - very nice to have it outside the room very peaceful - food menu was simple and didn’t change day to day - cooking was adequate but not gourmet Pool is really beautiful - staff were lovely and very helpful - sadly the surrounding countryside was full of rubbish and scrubland - there is a water shortage there and olive trees looked like they had died - but you couldn’t see any of this once inside the hotel .

Couldn’t leave the hotel for a walk as in the middle of a wasteland with rubbish strewn everywhere

generally very peaceful with amazingly helpful staff and a gorgeous pool

It was empty and felt unloved - the food was average at best and whilst the price was 5 star it was only 4 star really....

Peaceful oasis. Huts were well thought out. Lovely heated swimming pool. Super comfy loungers.

Hidden paradise, lovely grounds and pool area, outside of Marrakesh so super quiet. Easy access into the Medina by shuttle taking 20 minutes. High quality food with some of the nicest staff encountered in any travels. One young man is nicknamed “smile”, he is a fabulous person so willing to help with anything. Breakfast on a little table in shade of olive trees is a lovely start to the day. Super relaxing environment.

Beautiful property with spacious and luxurious rooms, beautiful pool surrounded by established planting. One free transfer to the medina a day was a fantastic perk. Having breakfast outside the room each morning was the perfect start to the day.

Staff and location were excellent, beautiful heated pool within stunning surroundings, villas are a lovely design.

A few issues, the a/c was very noisy , the tv picture kept freezing so couldn’t watch anything ( not that we were there to watch TV). No coffee maker in the room which was disappointing. I think the main issue we had was the loud music at night coming from a large resort nearby, we wanted peace and quiet but unfortunately there was no mention of this music when we arrived. We stayed in Villa 5 so maybe you don’t hear it with villas nearest the restaurant. Food was excellent but the menu could really do with expanding as the choice is not enough for more than a few days.

Clean and comfortable Staff helpful and friendly

The swimmingpoolThe staff, everyone is very friendlyThe lunch in the garden.

The day we arrived, nobody has obviously checked our room before, we unpacked and after that, we discovered the sink was broken and water was floating all over the bathroom. It couldn’t be repaired immediately so after unpacking we had to pack again to move to another room, very inconvenient.The hotel is also very remote and sometimes too quiet, The garden is not really beautiful, rather small with walls around it. You have to go to the terrace to see the mountains, but there is no possibility to sit. We have asked to speak to the owner or manager but he never shows up.As a compensation they gave us the omelets we had in the morning for free, but we feel eggs should be included in the breakfast (only sweets) for the room rate you pay already.

I loved the location, it was quiet and tranquil yet only 20 minutes from the Medina. The staff and quality of service was excellent, it exceeded all our expectations.
