Overall Ratings & Reviews Riad Palacio de las Especias

Super comfy and gorgeous riad inside the Medina but in a quiet area, perfect to rest and enjoy the rooftop with it's cute turtles

Magic place, super quiet, excellent value for money. Spent a week there. People from the Riad is helpful and sweet. Abdul and Mustafá helped us with everything we needed. Breakfast is great. The location is perfect: a silent place situated 10’ away from the main square. Last but not least: very clean. I would definitely stay here again!

Very well located. Friendly stuff that speaks Spanish. Rooms and interior of the Rhiad are exceptional which shows a lot about the taste of the owners. The breakfast is a big plus because of the homemade pies and the pancakes. Definitely staying again if I’m going back to Marrakesh.

We had a wonderful stay at this riad in Marrakech. It is very well located in the Medina. When you go through the door, you are transported in an oasis of tastefully furnished accommodation. It is beautiful and the small pool in the middle gives it charm. Breakfast was good. The managers on duty were very helpful and very kind. We will be happy to recommend your riad to our friends and family. Nayana & David

Do not waste your energy, nor your money on this place; there are many other options at better prices both within and outside the Medina. The only thing valuable about it is the courtyard, and I assume the rooftop though it was raining, the rest is sadly unkept and under-maintained for the beauty it could be, or once was. Lights don’t work, shower hook broken, exit door handle broken, bedroom door, although beautiful, doesn’t stop the loud noises throughout the night (I.e. doorbell, phone ringing and other guests eating breakfast just in front of it), and overall the room was dirty like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in years; noting that attached videos are in full daylight hours with windows open on the ground floor. The breakfast service is incredibly slow as they only had one server so it wasn’t his fault, and the bed is crickety with every move… The real kicker for us was they you’re not given a key to enter the main door; you are told there’s someone 24 hours a day - yet when we arrived after dinner, around 10pm, in the pouring rain, we knocked, called, and buzzed, for 15 minutes without someone answering the door for us. That is just not what we paid for.
