The hotel was nice and staff were very nice and helpful, this hotel is excellent for a couple but not for family with kids. We spent an hour and half to find the hotel. The parking lot is too far and the road from there to the hotel is not safe after 22:00 hrs. If you intend to book there you must first contact the hotel for airport pickup

This is a tranquil oasis in the middle of Marrakech chaos. A very old, traditional property with patios, gardens and multiple sitting areas that has been very well-maintained. What makes the experience special is the helpful, accommodating staff with excellent advice for restaurants and what to see. Noella was the star of this team. The food is very good but the restaurant is not licensed for alcohol, though bring-in may be an option. The breakfast is very good with omelette available to complement fresh juice, fruit and Moroccan bread goods. We had oriignally booked for 5 days, but extended to 6.

This was our family’s first visit to Morocco and it was incredible! Arriving in Marrakech was a little overwhelming at first, but the staff at the Palais took care of every detail for us! We felt very safe and welcomed, our room was beautiful and clean, and every recommendation for sights to see and places to eat was perfect. I would highly recommend staying here for the location, but more importantly, for how accommodating and pleasant the hotel was.

The room and the Riad was beautiful it was just the authentic experience we were looking for. We had two private patio areas to relax on a morning or evening. Travelling as a group of two Mums with their teenage daughters we were hesitant if Morocco was the right choice for us but had a great time. The riad team kept in touch with us by what’s app and ordered our airport transfers. This was fantastic as we would have struggled to find the road on our own without internet. They came out to meet us and took our bags. We were welcomed with mint tea and they kept the restaurant open late for us so we could eat dinner when our flight was delayed.
They helped us with directions, excursions and friendly advice without any pressure.
The breakfast was different each day with lots of options. We stayed for three nights and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, the streets outside are very busy but everyone is friendly and will help you if you get directions confused. I used a foreign esim for three days and google maps which worked well.
If you are sensitive to noise there is a mosque close by and you can hear the early call to prayer so take some ear plugs however not all of our group heard it.
Don’t forget to spend all your local currency before you leave as airport shops don’t accept it only the restaurants ( which also don’t have alcohol )

We were treated amazing by Mohamed and the staff. The room was very nice and specious with our own terrace and another large terrace outside our room. It was safe because they always lock the door of the riad. It is located inside the medina but not near the heart of the medina, maybe a 10 to 25 min walk from it which was very walkable. We are grateful for the great service we received from all the staff!

We had a great stay at Palais Tinmel and the staff members were amazing. They were accommodating and friendly, assisting us with transportation and more. The property is also beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. However, be sure to schedule your pickup and drop offs in advance because taxis do not fit in the small streets. It is easy to get lost walking but tuk tuks are a common form of transportation.

5 day stay in Marrakech

Really nice place to stay, everyone working at the Riad is so friendly and kind. Took the time to explain aspects of morrocan life and food. Had dinner at the Riad one night which was the best food we had in Marrakech (much better then the expensive restaurants in the centre of Medina). Location is very quiet but felt safe. About 20-30 minute walk to the centre of old Medina and the way back to the Riad is well lit with lots of people about even late at night so felt safe to walk back. If you want a taxi there is a car park/main road about five minutes walk away. This Riad is also close tp the new town if you want to see the more modern side of Marrakech.

The rooms are very authentic and everything is clean. I'd rather cleaner shower area instead of the traditional or if they fix the drainage of the showers it feels a lot better.

Not too far from the parking so the walk from the cab to the riad is only 3 minutes. MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE MAP OF THE AREA BEFORE GETTING THERE! Not easy to find the first time around and cabs cannot bring you there.
The staff was great at giving guidelines for the city and places to visit. Although a bit far from the popular areas, we did enjoy it being in the quiet part of the Medina.
The room was very clean and the Riad is very cute and pretty.
The free breakfast was also pleasant.

Palais Tinmel was a very beautiful property and the staff are very friendly and do an excellent job making sure you feel comfortable. The food is delicious and they are very attentive to responding on Whatsapp.

The only issue I had staying there was being alone and having the Riad be inside the Medina. I didn't feel comfortable going out at night because I didn't want to walk in and out alone at night, so I felt like I was limited in my ability to explore on my own.

Believe all the excellent reviews!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful riad. If this is the experience you want, rather than a typical tourist hotel, then we highly recommend you stay here. Staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly and our room was lovely. No complaints at all. It really is an oasis in the chaos of the city. The riad is a little way from the hustle & bustle of the main square but we were glad to be well away from it. Note the walk is not long (20 - 25 mins) but you walk through a part of the city where there are less tourists and locals can try to encourage you to walk a certain way so you get lost or confused, and then want to direct you for money. If you know where you are going and stick to that it's fine, although as a couple we didn't want to walk so far at night. It's a city to have your wits about you anyway. There's not a lot to do at night but we liked that - it was so relaxing. We liked being away from TV etc. (WIFI worked ok). This really is a special place. N.B. be prepared that most places preferred cash to card, including the riad.

From start to finish, this was the best stay my boyfriend and I have had. We were greeted with mint tea and biscuits from friendly staff who instantly made us feel at home. Inside the riad was nice and quiet and a great place to relax after the hustle and bustle of the busy markets. The location is perfect. It’s in less of a touristy spot, but very close to the markets (about a 20 minute walk).

The rooms were clean and the food was delicious!

We can’t recommend this place enough. It was the best stay. The staff were the most friendly and helpful. They advised us of areas not to go in the city due to more dangerous activities. They also walked us to a meeting point where we had to meet our bus for one of our day excursions to ensure we got to the right place.

If you’re going by car, it may be worthwhile reaching out to the Riad staff ahead of time so they can arrange for parking outside of the Medina. It is possible to get there by car to drop off bags, but quite challenging (and can’t park there so might as well avoid the stress).
