Reviews of Dar El Calame

We had a lovely stay. Free transfer from the airport was much appreciated. Ismail was very welcoming and attentive host. Very calm and quiet Riad.

Very good value for the money. Friendly and helpfull staff

Friendly and cozy place, nice breakfast. It was nice and secluded from the outside world, but you could hear pretty much everything that happened in the common spaces from within our room. This is not unusual for these type of accomodations though. The hosts are super friendly. Location was convenient, close to the Medina, also some takout options in the area.

The noise from common areas.

They made me feel at home from the first moment, the people who works in the Riad is amazing in their job

Beautiful property with all the necessities. Hafsa is amazing with a lot of help. We had some misunderstandings about the room and the owner was kind enough to offer us an upgrade to make our stay more comfortable. Absolutely recommend this place.

Good breakfast, nice staff, the riad is beautiful (love the beautiful ochre colored rooms and walls), the terrace is beautiful and authentic, I really liked the room decor & aesthetic.

It's a bit further off from the main centre (10-15min walking to the main plaza), which we personally preferred because it meant that the riad was very quiet in the evening, but this might not be to everyone's preference. Cabs can't drop you directly in front of the riad so if you have mobility issues it might be tricky to access the riad, esp if you have a lot of luggage.

The staff member was incredibly friendly and always available to help. He even stayed up late to assist us in getting a taxi to the airport in the early hours. The breakfast was excellent, and the room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. A pleasant surprise was the magnificent rooftop, perfect for relaxation, as well as the interior terrace filled with beautiful plants. I highly recommend it! A paradise in the historic center of the Medina in Marrakech.

Location was great in a quiet neighborhood just a few turns from an easy route to the main square. Breakfast was standard but tasty and the staff was very accommodating. The rooms are more charming than the pictures show. Free airport pickup was also a great feature.

Central location but very quiet Riad. The personal was very helpful and do their best to make our stay comfortable.

All was fine

The Riad, the owner and the staff were very friendly and forthcoming. They even installed a heater as it started to rain and therefore the temperature dropped significantly. Mohammed even agreed to serve us breakfast earlier than expected. He also helped us to organize secure parking for our rental car. Thank you again for your hospitality.

Beautifully decorated and ambiant. Practically located if arriving to Marrakesh by car.

The staff were excellent. Marc helped a lot before our stay. Hafsa and Mohammed took care of us and were very kind and helpful everyday. Highly recommend. They looked after us very well and when our room was accidentally double booked on the first night they covered our stay at another Riad right around the corner and provided us with dinner and transport from the airport.

Great service and rooms

Nothing.

Breakfast was great and the location is fantastic. The staff were so helpful and even stayed awake until 2am just to make sure I got the taxi to the airport! Will definitely stay here next time we come to Marrakech! excellent value for money and just all round 10/10

Nothing

Great staff - available for help at any given time, the room was much bigger and nicer than expected.

The room does not lock (the main door locks, but the balcony door opens even when it is locked).

Hafsa was incredible! She went above and beyond, finding a wheelchair for my mom and setting up an early breakfast. The riad itself was also stunning, spacious and epic and lush. Great shower with good water pressure and instant, lasting hot water.

These are very small quibbles but the air conditioning wasn't working the first night in my parents' room, I'm picky about sheets so I didn't love sleeping under what felt like polyester-blend sheets, and the air was really dusty/smoky when we stayed because of nearby wildfires which means the floor in our bedrooms were really dirty (had to wear shoes indoors). But these are truly just details when everything else exceeded expectations.

Hotel was nice, host was friendly

Having to pay in cash or Venmo annoying that you cannot pay by card which meant I had to was for 20 mins to take cash out which would have been nice to know ahead of time

A beautiful peaceful oasis, where to unwind from the bustling medina and scorching sun. The Berber room we were given had everything to make one feels at home, with authentic Moroccan touches and plenty of light, as well. The property is rather small with only a few rooms and that makes the experience quite intimate, too. It is very quite and soothing with the lavish greenery offered by the banana trees and climbing plants. Overall, I would strongly recommend this property.

It would have been nice if the breakfast had included a basket of fresh fruit, considering that fresh fruit should not be short in Morocco. We also had to ask for some eggs, as otherwise only bread / pancakes with honey / jam would not have been nutritious enough.
