We really enjoyed our stay at Palais Dar Donab Riad. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old Medina, giving easy access to the souks and other historic sites, yet conveniently close to one of the main entry points to the Medina. This made it much easier to get in and out, especially when heading to the more modern parts of Marrakech. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the Riad itself is beautiful and clean. Housekeeping was attentive and consistent throughout our stay. One thing to keep in mind for budget-conscious travelers: there is no self-service laundry room. Laundry is done by the item, which can add up quickly if you’re on a longer trip. Overall, it’s a beautiful place.

Superb location. Laid back. The staff are strictly background so there’s no fuss, which was perfect for us. Beautiful suite cleaned immaculately each day.
There were a lot of flies around when dining. Other riads/restaurants use insect repellent coils to keep them at bay. Might have helped here. Breakfast flattered to deceive. Plenty of food, but if you want eggs the only option is omelette. Went out for breakfast after the third day because we’d only asked for toast, orange juice and coffee and the toast was just stale bread. We asked for it to be swapped on were served fresh, slightly warmed bread. See pics.

The staff and the overall welcoming was amazing. Needless to say that the location right at the ancient market and in the middle of the historic area was exactly what we were looking for. The building itself is a former Marrakech palace that is beautifully maintained and in itself spectacular. I will not forget to mention how friendly and accommodating the personnel has been. In summary, the Palais Donab is a highly recommendable destination.
We did not dislike anything.

Located in the Medina but with easy access to Taxis and the rest of Marrakech, Dar Donab is an absolute gem. Our room was truly palatial, quiet and impeccably clean. The bathroom was fabulous. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was abundant and excellent. The lovely courtyard with the pool, the chirping birds and the blossoming orange trees were such a treat. It is a stunning bit of old-world magic in and out. We will no doubt return.

We loved everything about our stay at Palais Dar Donab. Amazing location within the medina, lovely peaceful pool and inner courtyard. We stayed in the Royal Suite which was just incredible- the nicest place we have ever stayed in. All of the staff were friendly and attentive- we will definitely be back!

Actually, I didn't expect to have such a good hotel (especially after my previous experience in Morocco) and in such a great location. Everything you need in Marrakech can be reached quickly and easily, all the most important attractions are actually close by. But most importantly, the riad provided peace and quiet, which is very important in a city like Marrakech. And the other good thing that cannot be overlooked is that the air quality was good. Unlike the streets of the medina of Marrakech, where there is sometimes nowhere to escape from the smell of gasoline. And then our hotel riad was a real salvation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, everything is easily accessible, and the staff is responsive. Because - I can definitely recommend this hotel to those who want to actually live in the medina, but at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet of the riad's courtyard.

Location is perfect for most activities in Marrakesh The staff are amazing and very hospitable, especially Raja, the front desk lady, pleasant, cooperative and answered all our questions. The housekeeping staff especially Kawther was very pleasant, kind, helpful and willing to take extra steps to make our stay memorable. I loved the surprises we had every day in our room.
The pressure of the water is weak when you take showers.

Palais Dar Donab is a gem in the centre of Marrakech. It is in a perfect location for exploring the city with many attractions being within comfortable walking distance. The staff are charming and very helpful. The restaurant has a good varied menu, the food is very good, and alcoholic drinks are available, which is unusual in the city. We felt very fortunate to find this hotel.

It was the most palatial accommodation in beautifully maintained Riad, full of traditional charm and character. It is in a perfect location just on the edge of the Medina. The staff were all wonderful and helpful. You couldn't wish for a better place to stay in Marakesh
Nothing could be improved upon. It was all excellent.

Great location for visiting the very hectic Madena area. As soon as you step inside the door of the Riad, you leave the hustle and bustle behind and enter a peaceful beautiful traditionally decorated property. We would definitely go back again. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We were offered Moroccan tea on arrival before being shown to our room and had a lovely fruit platter delivered to our room the following day.
