Overview

Two of Marrakech's best-known monuments frame a stay at Flashback House. The property places itself near the Koutoubia Mosque, whose 12th-century minaret is the city's main landmark, and says the Bahia Palace is easy to reach too.

The rooms are described as spacious and thoughtfully laid out, and the house aims for a quieter atmosphere than the streets right in the centre. The listing doesn't give more detail on facilities, so check room features when you compare offers.

Location

The Koutoubia's minaret is visible from much of the old city, which makes it a handy marker for finding your way back.
