Top Africa Hotel Reviews

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"The customer service was amazing. I enjoy the spa, room service and other amenities. Housekeeping was great as well. This was a great stay!"

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying at the Stanley and would stay here if I’ve ever in Nairobi again. The food in the cafe and Thai restaurant was outstanding, we also enjoyed the bar on the first floor and the pool on the roof was really nice. The room was spacious and comfortable. Lastly the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming."

Le Riad Monceau

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at **Le Riad Monceau** in Marrakech! ❤️ From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. It was also my birthday trip, and the team went above and beyond by decorating our room with flowers. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the trip even more special. 🌸 A special thank you to **Soufian at the front desk** and the lovely woman working the night shift (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name!) for being so welcoming and helpful. **Youness, the restaurant manager**, was wonderful as well, and everyone we interacted with was kind and attentive. We also booked our airport transportation through the hotel, and everything went smoothly. The **rooftop is beautiful**, and breakfast was delicious One small thing to keep in mind: the hotel has live music every evening, which is lovely and creates a great atmosphere, but the band sometimes rehearses around 4:30–5:00 PM before the evening music begins. Since the rooms face the courtyard, it can be noticeable if you're hoping to take an afternoon nap or have a very quiet afternoon. Overall, we truly loved our stay and would absolutely come back. The beautiful riad, wonderful staff, delicious breakfast, and thoughtful hospitality made our trip memorable ❤️"

Hivernage Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"5 stars all round for this hotel. Good breakfast and spacious clean rooms. Location was perfect, in the nicer area of Marrakech and within walking distance to the main areas. Service was impeccable and staff go out of their way to help make the stay comfortable. I informed hotel about a birthday, They set up the room with flowers and treats to make the day special! Thank you to guest relations manager for making it extra memorable. Will deffo book at this hotel when visiting Marrakech again!"
