Riad Zayane

We stayed at Riad Zayane for 5 nights in August in the beautiful Oasis Suite, and everything exceeded our expectations. The riad itself is stunning — every detail is authentically Moroccan and thoughtfully designed. We were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink and chocolates on arrival, and our suite was exquisite. The air conditioning worked perfectly (a blessing in the August heat), and complimentary shampoo and shower gel were provided. We used the plunge pool every day — it was the perfect way to cool down after exploring. The roof terrace was gorgeous, and both breakfast and dinner at the riad were exceptional — the quality and quantity of the food truly impressed us. Special mention must go to Youssef, the kindest and most welcoming host you could wish for. He was an absolute joy to chat to and made us feel so at home. The riad happily arranged taxis for us and even organised a fantastic quad biking trip. After a hot day in the city, returning to the riad to enjoy a cold drink by the plunge pool felt heavenly. In the evenings, with traditional music playing, twinkling candles, rose petals scattered, and the call to prayer in the distance, the atmosphere was simply magical. The location is excellent — just a 2-minute walk to the gate out of the medina, making taxi pick-ups and drop-offs very easy. The riad is set within a more local souk, which gave us a fascinating glimpse into everyday life. A 10-minute walk through the medina takes you to the bustling Souks Semarine, which were incredible to explore. We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Zayane and would return in a heartbeat.

This beautiful little hotel was absolutely amazing and I would stay there again tomorrow. It is not far from the main centre and is surrounded by busy streets but inside was like paradise. You could not hear a sound other than the birds singing. The staff at the hotel were just perfect and couldn’t do enough for you. It was spotlessly clean, comfy and we felt safe and secure. There is a beautiful rooftop and a little plunge pool to cool off. There are only approx 5 rooms so the hotel is so personal and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you x

I can only echo previous good reviews. We had 4 nights here and loved every minute. I emailed the hotel prior to visiting and arranged a taxi from the airport. We also decided to eat at the Riad that evening as we had a early start and the food and service were excellent. We had a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Ww went out on a trip early one day so they gave us warm breakfast to take with us. We booked our trips via Viator and did the atlas mountains, quad bike with camal ride and evening show, also did a day trip to the coastal town of Essouria. All trips were excellent and value for money. We loved our stay and will be back for sure and would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the staff for a great stay.
