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!

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.

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

It was as an amazing stay at this Riad. The accommodations were outstanding! I have never experienced anything like you. But what really takes this Riad over the top is the warm, helpful and hard working staff. Specifically

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.

To notch service

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.

A real charmer

Real boutique riad with charm and a little dusty in a good way. Friendly helpful staff, comfortable bed and delicious food. Restaurant a little on the pricey side and pool would benefit from a good scrub but overall a wonderfull stay!

Gorgeous riad in the heart of the Medina

We had the most magical stay at Riad Palacio de las Especias. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff with iced Moroccan mint tea and cookies. Our room was beautiful, they even put out rose petals. We also really enjoyed lounging in the gorgeous courtyard and the roof (which has an adorable, small tortoise population!). The location is just a few minutes walking from the souk and great restaurants. I highly recommend this riad and hope to return again.

Nice Riad inside the medina.

I requested the riad to pick me up at the airport and serve me dinner that night. We didn't have the energy to explore the medina and try to find somewhere to eat after a long flight. They were very friendly and professional. I still remember the answer of one of the staff when I asked him for the time when they served breakfast. He said, from 7 until when you wake up, don't worry!

Incredible stay in Marrakech

My friend and I stayed here for 4 amazing nights. It was a great experience and we would not hesitate to recommend this Riad. THE GOOD: - The service was impeccable. The staff was amazing; sweet; always greeted us with a smile; & always ready to help. - The Moroccan breakfast was incredible and changed daily. - The portions for dinner were good and quality was authentic Moroccan. You need to order in advance to eat dinner here. - The rooftop terrace and small courtyard were beautiful. - Our room cleaned well, was comfy & nicely decorated. - The location wasn't right smack in the middle of the craziness but also not too far from the sites. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: - Munchies should be available to order. We asked to have something to nibble on with our beer after a day of visiting but we were told that nothing on the menu was available to serve. - We were there in sweltering August (40°C+). It took a long time for the room to get cool after turning on the AC (which was turned off by cleaning staff). - When we checked in, there were two small bottles in the room so we mistakenly assumed these would be replaced daily. - The Internet was sporadically slow & sometimes not working. - Finding the Riad upon arrival was a bit confusing. I recommend adding a small sign at the alley where we must turn in.

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.
