    There sewage smell coming. So need to take care of that. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

    Breakfast was very good. But for vegetarians If they could add potato fries , that will be great.

    A Gem of Old-World Magic

    Located in the Medina but with easy access to Taxis and the rest of Marrakech, Dar Donab is an absolute gem. Our room was truly palatial, quiet and impeccably clean. The bathroom was fabulous. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was abundant and excellent. The lovely courtyard with the pool, the chirping birds and the blossoming orange trees were such a treat. It is a stunning bit of old-world magic in and out. We will no doubt return.

    We did not dislike anything.

    The staff and the overall welcoming was amazing. Needless to say that the location right at the ancient market and in the middle of the historic area was exactly what we were looking for. The building itself is a former Marrakech palace that is beautifully maintained and in itself spectacular. I will not forget to mention how friendly and accommodating the personnel has been. In summary, the Palais Donab is a highly recommendable destination.

    It’s a little outdated and a few things in the room needed some attention but I still loved it.

    It’s still a beautiful property after having been a regular guest over the years. Honestly, nothing has changed even the staff are mostly the same.

    The pressure of the water is weak when you take showers.

    Location is perfect for most activities in Marrakesh The staff are amazing and very hospitable, especially Raja, the front desk lady, pleasant, cooperative and answered all our questions. The housekeeping staff especially Kawther was very pleasant, kind, helpful and willing to take extra steps to make our stay memorable. I loved the surprises we had every day in our room.

    It is quite pricey compared to other options in the Medina, but we chose this hotel as needed a room close to the pool and a hotel that was toddler-friendly

    Fantastic breakfast and amazing location. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, and we loved the swimming pool area. An oasis of calm!

    Great location for visiting the very hectic Madena area. As soon as you step inside the door of the Riad, you leave the hustle and bustle behind and enter a peaceful beautiful traditionally decorated property. We would definitely go back again. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We were offered Moroccan tea on arrival before being shown to our room and had a lovely fruit platter delivered to our room the following day.

    The staff was very friendly and ready to help. Sometimes there was a longer waiting time in the restaurant and not all staff was professionally trained. But all in all we would come again.

    Palais Dar Donab is located in a quieter part of the Medina. It is also open to public to visit the Riad and eat in the restaurant. The property is very stylish and well kept. We had two suits- especially the Kontubia is really amazing.

    There were a lot of flies around when dining. Other riads/restaurants use insect repellent coils to keep them at bay. Might have helped here. Breakfast flattered to deceive. Plenty of food, but if you want eggs the only option is omelette. Went out for breakfast after the third day because we’d only asked for toast, orange juice and coffee and the toast was just stale bread. We asked for it to be swapped on were served fresh, slightly warmed bread. See pics.

    Superb location. Laid back. The staff are strictly background so there’s no fuss, which was perfect for us. Beautiful suite cleaned immaculately each day.

    Nothing really, but would have love to have a kettle in the room, to boil water for tea. But not a big issue as staff brought hot water when you wanted it.

    Beautiful large suite, privacy, comfortable, location, nothing to complain about. Front desk staff excellent and so were the wait staff. Nothing was too much trouble, whether getting us a drink of tea or soft drink. Has security overnight so felt safe.
