We stayed one night. The Riyad is deep in the Medina and can be hard to find, but they will send someone to bring you from the parking. Rooms are comfortable, well decorated in traditional Moroccan style and eclectic. Nice hot showers. Delicious breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed our stay, only issue is managing getting luggage from parking to the Riyad because it is a long walk, but they are very helpful and nice.

The Riad was lovely and peaceful. After a full day of touring we were greeted by Sanaa who was so kind and helpful. She brought us traditional Moroccan mint tea and cookies to enjoy on the rooftop. The rooms are all different-ours was large but up several windy staircases. The continental breakfast was so delicious and service wonderful.
