Do your homework....
I guess I made the mistake of thinking "5 Star" was the same as 5 star in Europe. Seeing as they award their own ratings then very understandable why I was let down, 3 star max. A little quirky but nothing more. Make sure you're down early for breakfast before the flies eat it all and look forward to the staff having the most heated arguments across your table most mornings. It's a dry hotel, so when you see "Gin & Tonic" on the menu its false. Cats Cats Cats everywhere, even jumping up on your table when trying to eat, and one song played on loop constantly all day.
You have to get out the bed at the bottom as their is no space either side as butted up against the walls and the air con sounds like a tractor running with no oil.
The pool is no bigger than a bath and if 2 people are in there at once it feels very over crowded.
The shower in the room was nothing more than a dribbling nonsense.
I suppose being over half hour late to pick me up from the airport wasnt a good start to which was sniggered at as opposed to an apology.
Jack hammers going all day if you were thinking of some mid day relaxation and a constant Hummmmmm in the room which I have also noted other guests mention on feedback.
The perfect base for exploring Marrakech.
We couldn’t have chosen a better place for the first part of our stay in Marrakech. Palais des Princesses combines a fantastic central location with the peace and tranquillity of a traditional riad. Just a couple of minutes’ walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa and the heart of the Medina, it was the perfect base for exploring, yet stepping through the doors felt like entering a calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle.
The riad is absolutely beautiful, with stunning courtyards, traditional Moroccan architecture, a lovely rooftop terrace and a pool that was the perfect temperature to cool down in after a day of sightseeing. Every area was immaculately clean and full of character.
Our room exceeded expectations. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, a mini fridge and a smart TV—ideal for relaxing after long days exploring the city.
The staff were exceptional throughout our stay. Every member of the team was welcoming, friendly and always happy to help with directions, recommendations or anything else we needed. Their hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
Breakfast each morning was fresh, plentiful and delicious, with a great selection to set us up for a busy day of sightseeing.
What impressed us most was the value for money. The quality of the accommodation, facilities, location and service far exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for an authentic riad in an unbeatable location, with beautiful surroundings and genuinely wonderful staff, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Palais des Princesses. It was the perfect introduction to Marrakech and helped make our trip so memorable.
Charming Riad steps from Jamaa El Fna square!
We spent 3 nights at Palais des Princesses mid May 2026. The Riad consists of several traditional houses interconnected via a maze of stairs and passageways that open to beautiful courtyards and relaxing areas. It is therefore bigger in room count and dimensions compared to traditional riads. The attentive restoration also connected the lovely terraces of the different buildings. The location is absolutely excellent as well as the atmosphere and the decor which combines traditional elements and architecture with classic western details such as the beautiful chandeliers! Our Deluxe room was spacious for Riad standards, with a traditional decor and well appointed. Staff are all welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast is plentiful and of good quality, though the buffet is located in a very uncomfortable position, especially at busy times.
Some areas for improvement that could be addressed to offer a real 5* experience:
- toiletries are of an anonymous industrial and cheap make, which is really disappointing considering the wonderful local products that could be offered to guests
- no turndown service is provided
, no coffee machine in room, but you get a standard kettle
- an overall revamp could be useful for updating some parts.
In all we had a very pleasant stay at a great address to visit Marrakech

Lovely riad 5 minutes walk from the main square
My partner and I stayed here for two nights at the beginning of March. After a 3 day trip in the Atlas mountains and Sahara desert we arrived at this riad and what a lovely gem in the middle of Marrakech. It is a calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle outside. We were woken both mornings at 5.30am by the pre dawn call to prayer (it was Ramadan) and this just added to the whole experience, I loved listening to it on the rooftop. Great breakfast with lots of choice, we were also joined by the resident cat Cleopatra. Highly recommend
Great location in Medina but...
Brilliant place in the heart of the Medina. Great staff and room. The restaurant offers a range of options. Bear in mind that there is no car access to the hotel – it's hard to find it yourself even with Google Maps. Not pleasant to do it by foot, especially with locals trying to rip you off. If arriving by air, just book the transfer with the hotel – well worth the money !
