We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, thank you! The riad was well located near a taxi stand, only a short walk down one street which was not too busy, with good instructions online for how to get there. Breakfast each day was delicious, varied and plentiful with a new savory item each day (a lot of it was sweet items which I enjoy). We picked a room upstairs so no issues with noise at all. It felt like a tranquil haven from the traffic and streets in the main souks. The highlight were the staff who were both kind and hospitable. They truly made us feel welcome, comfortable and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with our stay - thank you! (Also there was a sweet cat roaming the riad and three tortoise on the roof which were lovely too). Would recommend highly.

Chilly in winter

The arrival at the hotel was poor with a hotel staff member encouraging us to overpay a luggage handler (400 dirhams) for carrying our bags on a trolley for about 7 minutes. The staff were generally friendly. The heating in the room as not functional and the it was about 7C in the morning. Advice to travelers in winter is to check heating works and bring warm clothes.

I never usually write reviews but we had an amazing stay here! This was my first time in Morocco and I had some doubts but the staff were lovely and the riad is absolutely beautiful. We arrived at night and were greeted with tea on the terrace on arrival. The room was clean and had authentic decorations which made it feel like a really genuine stay in Morocco. For the price I feel like this riad is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere was peaceful and transport links are good. Taxis won’t take you directly to the riad but it’s a short and easy walk to the square where you can get one. Cash machine is also a short walk away since a lot of places are cash only. There are nearby restaurants and the walk to attractions is also easy as long as you have access to maps. There are cats, kittens and turtles living here too which was just so cute. Really contributed to the homely feel here. If you don’t feel like going out there are also good food options to eat in the hotel. We also had a late flight so after checking out the staff let us store our luggage and sunbathe on the terrace/ get changed in a toilet/ use the outdoor shower until we were ready to leave. I am usually a solo female traveller so I had my reservations about coming here alone and bought a friend with me last minute, but in the future I would definitely feel comfortable coming here alone. Thank you so much! Will definitely visit again!

Det är en Riad i centrum, om man har rätt förväntningar på boendet så är detta ett toppenställe! Men det är ju inget Hilton eller liknande. Mycket nöjda, centralt och bra! Trevlig personal.

Fantastisk Riad

Fantastisk ophold på Riad. De ansatte på Riad var meget hjælpsomme og hjalp os med at finde rundt i byen og booke ture/madkurser. Vores værelse var renligt og der var en dejlig hyggelig stemning på Riad. Hotellet kan helt klart anbefales.

Terrible service and issues over pay.

So disappointed with this stay, we had two nights, and the service was terrible. We were informed just before the end of our stay we had to pay in cash, which was never made clear. We asked for a read out of our bill so that we could take out enough Moroccan cash. When it came to the check out in the morning it took over 30mins and by magic they gave us a total in Euros and the exchange rate they used meant we paid more despite no additional charges. They clearly played us. The service was bad and you left feeling ripped off. Additionally, we had to eat in the hotel and they have a menu but only served two dishes none of which were vegetarian. Would not return

Muito bom!

O Riad é muito bom, mas recomendamos que antes de chegar na Parking Area ligue para a recepção do Riad e solicite que alguem vá lhe buscar, isto evitará alguns aborrecimentos. Foi o único lugar que tivemos que insistir para ficar com nossos passaportes.

La posizione del riad è buona. La struttura è carina e tipica marocchina. La pulizia dell’hotel è stata molto deludente: lavandino e doccia otturati (ce li hanno sturati l’ultimo giorno); le seconde lenzuola non credo proprio che fossero pulite considerato l’odore (infatti quando si sono accorti che avevo messo l’asciugamano sopra il cuscino, le hanno cambiate). Infine, avevo fatto presente della necessità di trovare prodotti gluten free per la colazione, ma quando siamo arrivati erano del tutto impreparati. Apprezzo la massima disponibilità mostrata dai ragazzi alla reception, ma per quanto abbiamo pagato, non sono ammesse queste manchevolezze.

The most beautiful, tranquil boutique hotel setup - photos do not do riad palacio de las expecias justice! It is a complete haven that is perfect to come back to and escape the hectic streets of Marrakech after a day's sightseeing (15min walk to the markets and 15 min walk to the jardin majorelle). The staff were wonderful, the breakfast was great. LOVED the roof terrace with the adorable tortoises wandering around. Thank you for a great few days stay.

Convenient location in the heart of it all. The Riad was a calm oasis from the hustle and bustle of the medina. The daily breakfast was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. We opted for the airport pickup and dropoff which was great, and ensured we started and ended our trip on a good note.

Great, but...

The hotel is beautiful. Great rooms, comfy beds, amazing pool and terrace, very friendly staff, abundant breakfast. But. There was no hot water. We stayed for 4 days and every single time we went to shower the water was cold. We had to tell a staff member who repaired the system and apologized profusely. We could tell they were just as embarrassed and sick of it as us. I’m talking to other guests we learnt this had been a problem through their stay too. So hopefully this gets resolved. Otherwise it was great.
