“LOVELY PLACE - JUST A FEW RESERVATIONS”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

The Riad is lovely. The staff are all lovely. It is only 5 minute walk from the square though across a treacherous roundabout!
My only issues are: there was myself, my husband and our 16 year old. An extra bed was provided in the room, but it was very uncomfortable. Our main issue was with the en-suite bathroom which was smelly if you left the plug out of the sink, but this is Moroccan plumbing! The door to the bathroom squeaked loudly and though someone did come to check on it, it was never really fixed which meant if you went to the loo in the middle of the night, it was noisy! There was no lock on the bathroom door and you had to put a shoe in front of it to stop it opening. Plus the shower was dark and didn't drain properly. We ate a meal in the riad one night - a traditional tagine, but it was awful. And it was really expensive. We ate far better food elsewhere. However, notwithstanding the above, the riad is beautiful, the owners and the staff are all really lovely. I would stay there again but would be more insistent on the quality of the room - maybe we were just unlucky as everyone else was very happy.

“We will certainly come again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2010

Taking an overseas holiday with 2 young children is never easy at the best of times so needless to say we were a bit dubious about taking our little ones from Majorca to Marrakech but we are sure glad we did. The riad du palmier which we booked through luxury-riads.com surpassed our wildest expectations and the way they accommodated our children was fantastic. A free airport transfer to the hotel and a free night on top of our midweek special deal was simply the icing on the cake. We were treated like royalty and the food was absolutely fantastic, they even made the effort to provide child friendly portions which we appreciated. Wonderful location and even better staff I cannot praise this place enough. Love it!

“I would highly recomment it to individuals,couples and groups of friends.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2010

Riad Palmier is an oasis amid the bustle of Marrakesh. It is very comfortable, clean and the
small pool is a real bonus.
All the attractions of the old walled city are within walking distance. Some of the major ones are literally on your doorstep.
Staff and proprietors are very helpful, friendly and dedicated. The proprietors speak both French and English while French, to varying degrees, is spoken by staff.

“I miss this place so much!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

Dear viewers if you ever consider to stay in Marakech and choose a Ryad style hotel, then i would highly recomend it to you!
It has a perfect location, Medina, close to the market.
The staff is extremely friendly, the owner helps with all the questions.
Speaks English and Friench, so no problems with the language.
The hotel is clean and very cozy.
If there would be a chance to visit Marakech next time i would deffinately stay in the same place.

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2010

Highly recommended. So much more intimate than a big hotel.The Riad was very central and the rooms comfortable. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We had an evening meal catered for that was delicious and very reasonable served in a private dining room. We also followed the suggestions of the Riad for restaurants that were excellent.
The Riad provided a guide for us that added to the experience of a tour around the town.
