Riad Palais Calipau is often praised for its beautiful, traditionally Moroccan decor and tranquil atmosphere, providing an oasis for guests. Many appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, some featuring lovely pool views, bathtubs, showers and dressing rooms. The rooftop terrace is also a highlight, especially for enjoying breakfast, though a few guests have mentioned that the central location can sometimes lead to some noise.

mixed feelings about the stay

poor lightingno sink plugs
the room lighting was quite poor (i found it hard to read at night). i also noticed there were no sink plugs, a minor but irritating detail. the absence of a bar was a bit disappointing, given the location in the old city. i would've appreciated a dressing room curtain, considering the glass window opened directly to the corridor. i stayed for 4 nights, and honestly expected slightly more attention to detail.

The breakfast included traditional Moroccan options and fresh fruit. An airport transfer was booked through the hotel and proved very efficient.
The room was quite dark due to a lack of outside windows. The bed was very soft, I found it too soft and not supportive at all. There was a pool downstairs, but it was not warm enough to swim .

a lovely stay!

generous breakfastcalm areapoor lighting
i really enjoyed my stay. the breakfast each morning was very generous with changes every day. the riad was also near a busy area, so it was still very calm and appeasing after a long day.
i found that there were no glasses in the room. the lighting was also not great. it made it hard to read at night.
