Maybe need more light haha

All the waiters are very nice and helpful! The place is beautiful and Mohammed is very nice to help us to take the luggage and see us off. Nice journey in Marrakech

Food (dinner and breakfast) was average and we were expecting more for the price. As other reviewers have said, the service was fine but not deserving of the 5-star rating.

Beautiful property, nice rooms and excellent terrace - wish we could have spent more time there!

This Riad is so peaceful and silent, I had best sleep in Marrakesh here, it is like small paradise in noisy Medina. Breakfast also was amazing. If You staying here take hammam. We choose deluxe package and it was best experience of spa in Marocco. Thank You 😇🙏🤍

As per culture , the Riad did not have a rooftop restaurant/ bar as some of them have but I would sty again.

It is very close to the Medina area . Around 15 min walk. There is an amazing French restaurant close by ( 10 min walk ) called Villa Aaron where the you can have amazing cocktails, the place looks beautiful and the food is amazing. I would advise in booking the transfer with them ( I did not do a regretted ) and book the desert trip with them too. It was amazing.

Such a gem riad, photos show the beauty and it doesn’t disappoint. Staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. They really want you to enjoy your stay and the beauty of their neighbourhood.

Apparently taxis wont drive you outside the street where the riad is situated, which meant getting lost in the alleyways on arrival which was a scary first impression when arriving in the night, as people would approach you and request money for giving directions The availability of staff if you needed something was difficult sometimes The room we had was very dark when the door curtains were closed for privacy as the room was on fully display I wasn't sure about the security of the building as you seemed to just be let in via the buzzer without checking

The riad was beautifully decorated The room we had was huge There is a beautiful rooftop area to sit in the sun The staff were friendly and helpful and always smiling The breakfast was delicious with lots of variety You could order food all day at your request The rooms were cleaned daily You were given lots of information on arrival in a booklet such as excursions, hotel information, nearby places on a map, the hotel food menu and times On leaving a member of staffed walked us to our taxi pick up point which they had booked on our behalf

Nothing I didn’t like, I had a great time and was prepared for a different experience to my usual hotel stays.

I have gave Riad Palais Calipau a 10 based our own personal experience. The staff are amazingly accommodating, kind polite and conversational. The Hammam and massage was amazing, the bed was very comfortable. And visually it’s a beautiful Riad. When booking a Riad in old town Medina, you have to remember you are staying within Moroccan tradition, where people live/work and you’re in the heart of the hustle and bustle you’re not staying in a 5star resort so things are different. But that’s what I went for, so that I could experience culture for my first time in the country. You have everything you need within the riad while staying in a place that feels special to the locals. Everything is clean with traditional decor and we had a great time there. Jamal was a great host as well as Mohammed and all the staff but I didn’t catch their names. We found some amazing restaurants all within 10-15mins, went to beautiful gardens, went to a pottery class and all in all it was a great location for a short stay. I would defo come back and stay here.

Having to go home and it all being over too quick.

The whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end. Super helpful staff and kind. So tasty the breakfast all very homemade food which we loved. Our room was fantastic and we found the raid perfect. Very peaceful and we had a swim which was so refreshing. The smell of the raid is orange blossom and you can hear the birds. So beautiful. Very clean and felt safe place to relax .We had a Hammam and a 30 minute massage which was such a treat we would recommend you have one. Thanks and we would loved our time here.

We booked massage and the masseur was sick. My partner got a horrible flue because of that and it ruined a bit our holiday when one is sick. Wished they would have changed that sick masseur to another one.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. They did care about us and did everything that we enjoyed our stay. Nice environment, little bit out of the busiest roads. Room was nice, lots of space. Nice decorations and plants in the lounge.

This place is like a little piece of paradise inside a bustling chaotic city. The perfect place to wind down after a day in Marrakech.

The Riad is a beautiful old building, and so the sound proofing can not be the same as a new build house. On some occasions you could hear other guests walking outside or meeting for breakfast. Nothing outrageous. If anything the sound of birds in the morning resting in the courtyard was the perfect way to wake up!

From the moment we arrived the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They organised our transfer, greeted us on arrival, welcomed us with traditional tea and provided information on the city, bookings, and culture. No request was too much and we couldn't help but notice every member of the team working with a smile. The Riad itself was stunning. The details in design, furnishings, lighting - all added to the tranquillity and beauty. After a few days exploring the city it was clear that the Riad reflected items you could find in the Souk. Very traditional. The room was refreshed every day and the fresh breakfast set us up for the day ahead. The location was perfect, we were only a short walk from the centre of the city and even closer to Bab Agnaou (one of the old city gates) which was the pickup location for our various excursions! Nothing beats watching the sunset on the terrace after a long day of exploring or hiking. We enjoyed views towards the north looking over the Koutoubia Mosque (the tallest structure in the city) and views to the south of the impressive Atlas Mountain range. We will absolutely be visiting again!

Only the location was a bit tricky and we heard when other guests came in at night.(only because our room was right next to the entrance)

Breakfast was colourful marroccon style (not buffet) with coffee and juice. The room was spacious and very clean, the interior was beautiful. They location was a bit hidden but only 2 minutes walk from the city wall, it was safe.

great value for money! Mohammed picked us up on the airport and was super helpful and kind, and so was all of the staff there! We only stayed one night but they all made sure it was the best possible!
