The hotel has an excellent location, built right into the old city walls. It is a spacious, sprawling collection of old buildings in traditional style, interspersed with courtyards, ponds, pools, gardens, staircases, alleys, and sundry other nooks and crannies. The feel is almost like being in a small village. Anybody interested in botany will find the lush, mature plantings worth... More

The hotel is located in the kasbah, but the entrance is on the outside wall, with parking outside. As you enter, you leave the bustle of Taroudant and enter an oasis of calm. The courtyard area is delightful, running water, tables under the massive palms, lesser kestrels flying around. 2 pools but too cold to swim when we were there.... More

After being locked out of the hotel that we had pre-booked and already checked in to, namely the Riad Taroudant, The Palais Salam offered us a safe haven on a cold and increasingly frustrating night. Not only did they take pity on our lack of accommodation (no other hotel in town would accept us as our passports were locked inside... More

I felt safe - slept soundly to the sound of bird song and kitten meowing ... just like home.This Hotel is full of artficacts that dazzle the senses. We enjoyed the 'targines' immensely and the lovely breakfasts - and sateen draped tables of Indigo and Gold with matching serviettes. The Staff - I would gladly take home 99% of them...... More

We stayed here on the last night of our 10 night tour around Morocco. The rooms were very Moroccon but really was not my sort of thing, it felt like being in a Church with extremely high painted ceilings, stained glass lampshades and really dark wooden furniture. The mattress was rock hard, not a good nights sleep! As we were... More

The staff here were amasing, giving us buy one get one free rooms (we were off season and obviously on a budget as we were backpacking). They helped us whenever we asked them and went out of their way to help us with our more annoying requests like weighting our baggage before we flew back home. I would recomend this... More

Hotel with distinctive atmosphere directly at the entrance to the medina and directly at the city wall. You feel that is was built already 80 years ago as there are old trees and flowers, especially in the inner gardens as the banana garden. Two pools where one is suited for swimming, the other is used more as background for the... More

This hotel was given something of a negative review in the Rough Guide which luckily I read AFTER arriving in Morocco. We found friendly, good natured staff - every single one of whom greeted us cheefully and who were helpful in the extreme. The breakfast was a buffet style and always fresh and plentiful. Despite its size and numerous guests,... More

It's not the grandest hotel or the most luxurious but it is locally owed and authentic. A converted palace, as the name suggests, the rooms are huddled around lovely little courtyards, some of which are planted with bananas. A perfect place to relax between making forays into the souk of Taroudant. The food is good - not Michelin fancy thank... More
