The staff and check in experience was very smooth. We had an issue with the room smelling strongly of paint and they offered to change our room to another which was better but the smell of paint still gave us a headache overnight and we found ourselves eager to leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately the floor tiles and rugs were dirty. They may claim that the tiles are old but even antique tiles can be cleaned much more thoroughly. Our socks picked up so much dirt walking around and there were no slippers.

with the rugs and tiles being dirty, this made us conscious of sitting on the sofa too. The bed sheets were clean but so old they had bubbled and nearly ripped on the edges.

Breakfast was disappointing, we expected a modest but delicious Moroccan breakfast and had supermarket pale and chewy croissants, pale orange juice and hard boiled eggs. Nothing was tasty unlike the other Riad we stayed at.

Overall we were really happy with the people but were glad we had only booked this riad for one night.

This hotel was exactly what I prioritized. Walking distance to major attractions, with a secure parking lot just a half block away. There was Moroccan flavor, with a multi-lingual staff. The water was hot, but the water pressure was low. There was heat in the bedroom, and clean towels. I was initially put off by the graffiti on buildings outside, incense smell in the lobby, and less than clean Riad common room. However, I never felt unsafe, coming and going, even at night. And the friendliness of the staff, along with the funkiness of the place caused it to grow on me. One problem was that there were only two power outlets, needed for lights. If I wanted to charge my phone or laptop, it got pretty dark. Stairs, no elevator, but someone always handy to help with luggage.

Filthy hotel

Upon arriving at the hotel, the room that i was given had a linking toilet, a roach in the bathroom, no working outlets, a dirty carpet and a foul smell in the room. The hotel gave me another room. The second room had a leaking sink, ants in the bathroom, a filthy remote control and 1 working outlet.

Not too impressed by the place. Very dark riad and needs a huge tune up... Positive side is the location which is ok. We were changed rooms after the second night since the toilet was broken since day 1 and we even had to ask for a bucket in order to be able to flush the toilet as they were unable to fix the toilet. Thankfully, the second room saved the rest of the stay (total 5 nights).. Dining was good but breakfast was constantly lacking food. the breakfast guy kept on bringing small quantities of food at the time for the buffet which I found to be counterproductive since he was always running to the kitchen. We are very rarely disappointed with our choices on Expedia but that location was a disappointment.

Loud, requires updating

Although the staff are nice, informative and willing to help, I find my experience quite disappointing. The bathroom requires a bit more cleaning and updating as mold can be seen along the tub and wall... a fresh paint and well scrub would have help, also a little noisy and kiotic in the lobby and noisy in the room as well.

Great hotel in the middle of Marrakech

Riad was within walking distance to many sightseeing locations in Marrakesh, especially the Jemaa el-Fna market. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Room was small but big enough for two people. Breakfast is provided consisting mostly of pastries, which we definitely did not mind. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend the Riad Marrakech!

Reasonable hotel close to the centre

Firstly the hotel is now called 'Riad Marrakeck', taxi drivers will not know where it is if you ask for palais riad batoul.
Hotel is centrally located, about 5min walk from Jamaa al Fna (central square) or the big mosque (Koutoubia) so is excellently positioned to walk around the city. Rooms are a good size, nicely decorated and surprisingly quiet for a hotel that is so close to things they also have nice big bathrooms with big bath +plenty of hot water (if you wait long enough...
Hotel is very clean and generally quite smart (the odd bit of paint flaking off here and there). Staff are helpful but speak limited English (you might get on better in French), breakfast is limited to croisants and pastries, coffee and orange juice, you will probably eat out in the evenings any way in the Jamaa as more fun + cheap (tagine +a drink and salad for under £10 in most places), try the upstairs at Cafe de France or Le grand balcon du cafe glacier for great views +hassle free eating away from the beggars, cigarette sellers etc.
Hotel very quiet when I was there (December) only 1 or 2 other guests, the neighbourhood is noisy +shabby but that is true for any of the hotels in central Marrakech (try Gueliz for more swanky neighbourhood but further out).
Riad Marrakech is great for a 2 or 3 night stay in Marrakech and I enjoyed my time.

Beautiful gem close to the Prince square

I absolutely loved staying at this location, although it was just a couple of days. The riad/atrium in the middle has wifi internet and a roof that opens up. Small singing birds fly in through the crack in the ceiling, filling the space with the beautiful song from birds and lights up the space just enough. Rooms are comfortable and the noise from the street is not too bad. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

What a lovely Riad and excellently located.

We had a really lovely stay here and will be returning. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. Our room was comfortable and had that 4* appeal. Located on the outskirt of the medina, everything was in walking distance. So we could take the hustle and bustle of the medina or not by staying at our Riad or taking a taxi to the newer part of the city.

Nice hotel close to the medina and other sights

The hotel location was ideal as it was close to the Medina and the Koutabia Mosaque and the Dj e Maa El FNA Medina and other sights. We walked everywhere which saved on transport.
We looked forward to returning to our room in the evening to see what designs the chamber lady had made with our towels. She was very artistic. We thoroughly enjoyed ourself.

Die Lage ist zwar im Zentrum, aber man hat kaum Parkmöglichkeiten für ein Auto. Die Rezeption und der Zimmerservice war in Ordnung und die Zimmer waren auch sauber, einzig die Toilette konnte nicht gut gespült werden, da der Wasserdruck zu gering war… Das war schon sehr unangenehm…

Front desk is not nice

One night none of the ATMs in town worked for a few hours. We had to catch a flight and couldn't get any cash from the ATM for a taxi. Front desk was completely unbothered and would refuse to help. Which meant we literally had to ask other hotel guests to let us transfer them money for cash.

Enttäuschung pur!

Nach 9 Tage Andalusienrundfahrt einfache Enttäuschung! Das Zimmer war nicht sauber obwohl jeden Tag die Dame zum putzen kam. Toilette lose. Schimmel unter der Klimanlage und in der Badewanne. Die Badewanne wurde unproffessionell mit Marmorstücken verkleidet, innen drin zig lagen Farbe und drunter wahrscheinlich Schimmel. Abfluss verstopft. Badezimmertür schrecklich laut. Die Austattung allg. Schon runtergekommen. ZEIT zum investieren anstatt nur kassieren! Meine Empfehlung.. Finger weg!!! Wirklich das einzig Gute ist die Lage. Selbst das Ibis Budget Standard Frühstück ist ausgewogen und Schmackhaft im gegensatz zu das was die anbieten. Kellner zum Glück geizig da halbe kleine Tasse \"frisch\" zubereitete o.-saft/pulver schmeckt nach was anderem. Kaffe instant! Für durchschnittlich 65€ die Nacht haben wir mehr erwartet. Bitte sucht euch was anderes. Danke

Not a 4 star hotel!

I feel bad leaving this review since the staff at the hotel were nice and helpful. But this is not a 4-star hotel, far from it. The rooms shown in their site and here are not accurate at all. The terass on the roof were used as some kind of storage for broken furniture, the view is not what the photos show and the breakfast is just sad for being a 4-star hotel.
Our room (superior) was small and with an extra bed that took up space. We are not very picky but this was a not worth the money spent.

Max 3 stjerner!

Jeg havde opgraderet til værelse med balkon. Balkonen viste sig at være ½ m2. Det kan ikke betale sig :-/ Heldigvis har hotellet en dejlig tagterrasse.
Gratis morgenmad == brød. Ønsker man noget udover, koster det. Der er ikke mulighed for at lave kaffe på værelset (kan ikke huske, hvornår jeg sidst har prøvet det!). Ved afrejse virkede hotellets betalingsmaskine ikke, så vi måtte rundt i byen for at hæve kontanter. Heldigt, at vi havde flere kort med, men det kostede så 300 kr. ekstra i hævningsgebyrer, som hotellet ikke tilbød at dække. Alt i alt var hotellet væsentlig under det niveau, vi havde forventet.

Super gelegenes Hotel nahe bei der Medina

Man gab uns beim Einchecken das Zimmer Nr. 14 ohne Balkon, wo die Kanalisation stark roch. Nach Reklamation konnten wir Zi. 11 mit kleinem Balkon beziehen. Das Fenster bzw. der Balkon waren zur Strassenseite gerichtet, welche sehr belebt ist und bis in die späten Nachtstunden hört man den Lärm von der Strasse. Das Frühstück wird im Innenhof serviert, wo es im Winter morgens sehr kühl ist.
Das Zimmermädchen war sehr freundlich und dekorierte das Bett jeden Tag aufs neue mit Rosenblättern und kreierte aus den Handtüchern Fantasiefiguren. Das Bett war sehr bequem.

Fick inte checka in med mitt sällskap!

Jag åkte med manligt sällskap men tyvärr hade han glömt sitt pass i vårt hotellrum där vår huvudvisstelse var. Därmed fick vi inte dela rum utan om vi hade valt att stanna på hotellet hade vi varit tvungna att boka ett till rum, vilket vi vägrade och vi valde därmed lämna hotellet. Har sällan stött på så oresonlig personal på ett hotell och har sällan blivit mer förolämpad. Rekommenderar inte detta hotell!!!

Une fois à l'hotel on ne retrouve pas ma resa et me demande de payer une autre nuit car le commercial ne leur a pas transmis ma resa.
La clim ne marche pas en plein mois de juin et bien sur pas de piscine, génial sous 40°
