The place is beautiful and clean, right on the casbah, near the El Badi and the Bahia. Staff is kind and informative.

Cruz Israel

This was like a beautiful haven, a hidden gem, the welcoming reception, large, clean rooms, amazing dinner enjoyed by the tranquility of the pool and scrumptious breakfast.

Jane Morocco

We just stayed here for a night on our way out of Marrakech. The location was great as it was still in the old town, which made it easy to stroll around, do some last-minute shopping, and absorb a final bit of the atmosphere, but only 15 or so minutes from the airport. The staff was pleasant and friendly as they are in every place we stayed at in Morocco. The Riad was spacious and well-maintained, with a nice pool and orange trees in the central courtyard. The room was comfy enough and pretty spacious with enough room for the 4 of us. The night manager showed up promptly at 4:15 am as requested to help with our luggage.

Riad Palais Calipau exceeded my expectations! Absolutely gorgeous, main floor with Instagrammable decor. The overall vibe of the hotel was beautiful, calm & serene. Staff was very friendly & the rooms were spacious. We had breakfast here daily - 17 items in the spread, fresh OJ & hot, good food! We also did the onsite hammam & spa - it was a great experience! The location is perfect - short walk to everything nearby & the staff was very communicative on all days and helped with tips & recommendations! This was my favorite place to stay in my entire Morocco itinerary.

The staff were amazing and extremely helpful, the breakfast was superb, the pool was very refreshing for the heat of the day.

Clay Netherlands

Riad is truly exceptional, very beautiful in decor and great in service provided (food,massage and hammam). It's great to cool down and chill by the pool on a hot day. Food and breakfasts were great. Tried the massage - also great, better than in spa we visited in the city. Very helpful team - gave us a few tips on our travel plans across the country. The neighbouhood is quite authentic: you will see more locals than tourists.
