Appartement Andalou

Appartement Andalou Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Appartement Andalou, you immediately get that “this isn’t your typical hotel” feeling — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. Located in the Targa Al Inara area of Marrakech, this place feels more like staying at a friend’s beautifully designed apartment than checking into a standard accommodation. The Andalusian-inspired decor isn’t overdone or touristy, just authentic touches that remind you you’re somewhere genuinely Moroccan. I mean, the moment you step inside, there’s this sense of calm that’s pretty rare to find in busy Marrakech.

Location & Getting Around

The Lotissement Adrar neighborhood is one of those areas that locals know but tourists often miss — which actually works in your favor. You’re far enough from the medina chaos to get proper rest, but close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you to Jemaa el-Fnaa in about 15 minutes. What I really appreciated was having free parking right on site, because let’s be honest, finding parking in Marrakech can be a nightmare. If you’re planning day trips to the Atlas Mountains or Essaouira, having your own secure parking spot is genuinely invaluable.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup at Appartement Andalou gives you room to actually spread out and live a bit. There’s a proper kitchen if you want to grab groceries from the local markets — and trust me, the produce here is incredible. The living areas have that relaxed Moroccan vibe without feeling like a theme park version of Morocco, you know? Everything feels lived-in and comfortable rather than sterile. The bedrooms are spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your luggage, and the bathrooms are modern without losing the local character.

Why Couples Love It

I can see why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. There’s something about having your own private space that just works better than hotel corridors and thin walls when you’re trying to reconnect. The rooftop area (most of these buildings have them) gives you those sunset views over the city that make for perfect evening wine moments. Plus, being able to cook breakfast together or grab pastries from the local boulangerie and eat them in your own space — well, it’s those little domestic moments that make a trip feel more intimate and less rushed.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

What really sets Appartement Andalou apart is that it gives you the best of both worlds — you get to experience Marrakech like a temporary resident rather than just another tourist passing through. The 8.2 rating reflects what I experienced: solid value, genuine local character, and that rare combination of comfort and authenticity. You’re not paying for fancy amenities you won’t use, but you are getting a real taste of what living in this fascinating city might actually feel like. For travelers who want more than just a place to sleep, this apartment-style accommodation delivers something genuinely different.

  Propore, spacieux et calme
  Climatisé

• Pleasant – Levy from United Kingdom – 20 August 2024 (6/10)

  To be honest, was just ok
  
  What could be improved: Like usual in Morocco, they will give you the wrong apartment. The wrong one was nice and renovated but only had 2 bedrooms, I've booked 3 bedrooms. The 3 bedrooms was just ok. All the kitchen appliances need to be replaced. Really old and not practical.
  23 minutes drive to the city centre. Very difficult to get a taxi.
