Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were gorgeous, very clean, and comfortable, furnished in beautiful traditional Moroccan style. However, I noticed that the shampoo and bath gel were not replaced daily during our stay. The service was top-notch, with the staff always happy to help, attentive, and extremely polite. The location was excellent, making it easy to navigate around the Medina and access nearby tourist attractions. The dining experience was great, with a variety of tasty dishes to choose from. Overall, a wonderful stay with just a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was truly a taste of Moroccan culture and hospitality. The rooms were enormous, exquisitely furnished, and provided a cozy and warm atmosphere. The staff, especially Carlos, Omar, Marcus, Hemadi, and Youness, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, making our stay unforgettable. The location was more than fantastic, right at the entrance of the medina, and the dining experience, especially the fresh fruit and pastries, was delightful. However, the Wi-Fi was not included, which was a bit of a downside.
My stay at RIAD El Yacout was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious, colorful, and extremely comfortable, adorned with pillows everywhere. The service was beyond exceptional, with staff going out of their way to cater to our every wish. The location was perfect, right at the entrance of the medina, making exploration easy and enjoyable. However, the dining options, though offering a variety of tasty treats like fresh juice and yogurt, could have been more diverse. A stay at this riad is truly a real experience of Morocco.
