I had a fantastic stay at Riad Palais Calipau! The location is quiet yet conveniently close to key attractions, making it an oasis amidst the bustle of Marrakesh. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, although the walk to Jemaa El Fna square was longer than I expected. The breakfast offerings were good but felt a bit repetitive after a few days.

I had an amazing stay at Riad Palais Calipau, truly a beautiful oasis in the hustle of Marrakech. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making everything so easy and welcoming. While the WiFi didn't work in my room and there were a few maintenance quirks like a broken shower holder, the comfort and charm of the riad definitely made up for it. I'd absolutely return for the relaxing atmosphere and the lovely breakfasts on the roof terrace.

My stay at Riad Palais Calipau was a good experience overall. The riad truly is a beautiful oasis tucked away in the bustling Kasbah area. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring I felt welcome throughout my visit. However, my sleep quality was affected by some noise at night, although the staff addressed my concerns promptly. 🕌✨

The riad is in a great location, very close to the main attractions of the old medina. Although it's in a bustling area, it's quite peaceful once you step inside.

Breakfast was a lovely experience and included a good variety. The dinner I had at the riad was tasty but required pre-ordering, which challenged my flexibility when exploring during the day.

The Riad Palais Calipau features beautiful decor, a superb location in the Medina, and friendly staff; however, my stay was marred by service issues and cleanliness concerns. The location is great for exploring Marrakech, but I experienced unclean sheets and an unresponsive manager, which detracted from an otherwise charming stay. Overall, a mixed experience that could be improved significantly with better management. 🌿
