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! ##### Adrianna Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lau Apr 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastisk Riad Fantastisk ophold på Riad.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julio c Oct 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente El lugar esta muy bien ubicado es facil llegar con el gps del lugar , el personal es lo mejor les doy 100 puntos por la atencion sin duda lo recomiendo . ##### Julio c Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Laura Mar 19, 2020 Disliked: Staff & service #### 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 ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jan 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was as an amazing stay at this Riad.

O Riad é muito bom, mas recomendamos que antes de chegar na Parking Area ligue para a recepção do Riad e solicite que alguem vá lhe buscar, isto evitará alguns aborrecimentos. Foi o único lugar que tivemos que insistir para ficar com nossos passaportes. ##### Edgar Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely property and close to the souks/main square ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Nov 3, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness La posizione del riad è buona. La struttura è carina e tipica marocchina. La pulizia dell’hotel è stata molto deludente: lavandino e doccia otturati (ce li hanno sturati l’ultimo giorno); le seconde lenzuola non credo proprio che fossero pulite considerato l’odore (infatti quando si sono accorti che avevo messo l’asciugamano sopra il cuscino, le hanno cambiate). Infine, avevo fatto presente della necessità di trovare prodotti gluten free per la colazione, ma quando siamo arrivati erano del tutto impreparati. Apprezzo la massima disponibilità mostrata dai ragazzi alla reception, ma per quanto abbiamo pagato, non sono ammesse queste manchevolezze. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities RIAD PALACIO DE LAS ESPECIAS IS A GEM IN THE MEDINA THE RIAD IS VERY WELL APPOINTED, CLEAN, JUST THE RIGHT SIZE AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL ROOF TOP TO UNWIND AT THE END OF A LONG DAY- "THINK OF THIS AS YOUR HOME WHILE IN MARRAKECH" WAS WHAT WE WERE TOLD ON OUR STAY BREAKFAST IS DELICIOUS THANK YOU TO IDRESS AND THE WHOLE TEAM AT THE RIAD FOR MAKING US FEEL SO WELCOME WITH GENUINE, KIND AND WARM MOROCCAN HOSPITALITY WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL CITY THERE IS AN ENTRANC TO A COOL SOUK JUST OFF THE PARKING NEAR THE RIAD AND EAT AT JARDIN THANK YOU AGAIN FROM YOUR CANADAIN FRIENDS ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ally, London Nov 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Ally Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abbie, Yorkshire Nov 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful Riad, within excellent walking location of all the sights.

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. ##### Heather Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie, Amsterdam Mar 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prachtige riad Goed gelegen, prachtige kamers, goed verzorgd en uitgebreid ontbijt.

Met voor iedere gast een vers gemaakt ontbijt door het meest vriendelijke en gastvrije personeel dat wij in menig hotel hebben mogen meemaken. Een echte aanrader! ##### Rick Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very quiet and nice Riad! Very tasteful furnished riad. A very pleasent place to be when you return from the town. very quiet, the staff always around but only reacting if you ask. not bothering you like people in the street . and very pretty roof top.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Topaz Aug 5, 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s470-pa7d66900-79ce-11e7-a58e-2ab4820f5e46-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Topaz Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ally, NYC May 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Ally ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien N'fis](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Nfis.h571327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d178288-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motels Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Motels.d10131-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Dorval](https://www.expedia.ca/Dorval-Hotels.d6744.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Southampton Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Southampton-Hotels-Southampton-Inn.h117135.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [La Sultana Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Sultana-Marrakech.h1093565.Hotel-Information) > > [Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella - Adults Recommended](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Amare-Beach-Hotel-Marbella.h854853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wolfville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels.d6058270.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aCUN-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Olds](https://www.expedia.ca/Olds-Hotels.d6139554.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Le-Medina-Essaouira-Hotel-Thalassa-Sea-Spa-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h795436.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/pvr/kelowna-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bog/edmonton-to-bogota) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fao/montreal-to-faro) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Guangzhou (CAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/can/ottawa-to-guangzhou) > > [Flights from Phoenix (PHX) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/phx/lax/phoenix-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/iah/calgary-to-houston) > > [Flights from Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cmb/yul/colombo-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Los-Angeles.d178280.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Mediterranean Coast Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mediterranean-Coast.d6084750.Destination-Travel-Guides)
