Perfectly Located
If you expect luxury for this price then get real but the hotel is so well located that the dated condition of the hotel was not a problem at all. A bit of a funny smell in the road but it soon went and lets face it, you’re hardly ever in the room anyway. The hotel is two mins from the main square and right across the way from the Koutoubia. Fantastic. My only qualm would be the limited amount of toilet paper in the room! Take extra! Staff ok but a few reception guys were a bit ignorant but think that was the language barrier. Print off several copies of expedia confirmation as hotel will take one off you. Overall would reccomend this to travellers of all ages. Not bad
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
When you get money at the airport, ask the guy for some small notes as i ended up tipping my porter 100 dirhams when only 5-10 dirhams is expected!

Worth every penny
Great location right in the centre of Marrakech. Wonderful breakfast terrace overlooking the Koutoubia Mosque and fresh breads and pastries every morning. Hotel itself a bit shabby but that just gave it charm. Reception staff always helpful.
Traveller's tip on dining
Jemaa El Fna is abosolutley brilliant for dinner. The food is great with an atmosphere that you will find nowhere else in the world.

Great Location!
We stayed at the Islane in September. The location of the hotel is great, no more than a 5 minute walk along a main road from the main square and souks. However being opposite the biggest mosque in Marrakesh (and it being Ramadan!) there is quite a lot of noise throughout the night from the prayers and the main road. Other than that, v.clean and tidy, bed was really comfy and the location made up for all the noise! Felt very safe.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
I would recommend going into the main square for your evening meal. Many of the restaraunts around the outside of the square have brilliant terraces which enable you to have a birds eye view of the bustle below. Food is so reasonable and great quality!
