Beautiful riad with great cooking!
This is such a beautiful riad with very friendly service. They will make you feel like you’re home. I would also recommend you order dinner here - it’s one of the best meals I had in Morocco and you can eat it on the rooftop terrace with wonderful views. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. The riad itself is beautiful and authentic.

2/10 Poor

AWFUL Place. It's not a 4-star hotel as it promotes; it is a house guest and a poorly run one. The rooms are dirty and not well kept; the carpets looked like they have not been clean in months. The water pressure in the shower was little next to none. The bed in the room was broken down the mattress made it impossible to sleep. There are no facilities, like places to eat or drink, free or paid. The Hotel is hard to find, it is deep inside the Medina, and you have to walk in some dark alleys with no proper signs to find the hotel. Overall, AVOID this property, there are more convenient and better places you can stay in the Medina or outside of it. If you are looking for a nice place to rest and relax while exploring the city, this is not the place to stay. If you already booked please cancel and book another place. Otherwise, they will try to charge the whole amount or another amount that come up at their discretion.

Winter Sunshine
We stayed during Feb half-term, in the quest of some winter sunshine. We had a wonderful time, Right in the heart of the old town, but the hotel was so calm and peaceful. They looked after us extremely well, and collected us from the airport - just as well as we would never have found the place by ourselves... Note for future guests - they meet you outside the terminal building

Beautiful Riad
It was amazing everyone was very friendly and Yassine was an exceptional host! The Riyadh was beautiful and quiet very close to the square but far enough away to be calm. We felt like we were staying in a palace!

A great find
I picked Riad because of location, which was perfect for where I needed to be. Only a non English speaking member of staff when I arrived but she called the Manager so I could speak to him on the phone. Very different place to stay. Restored to an excellent level.

Slipped through the cracks
We slipped through the cracks. I spent 3 days trying to get in contact with the Riad yo arrange an airport pickup. The phone number listed on hotels.com and Riad Dar Zayas website did not work, no matter what time of day I called. Later, the hotel owner showed me that he usually messages his guests through hotels.com, but a message didnt get to us for some reason. We were unable to arrange an airport pickup. At 11PM, we took a taxi. The taxi dropped us off at the Medina, in an alley, and told us 2 random men would walk us to our hotel. It was our first time in Morocco. It was sketchy. When we finally got to our Riad, the men walking us charged us a "fee" of $60 for walking us a few blocks. This was in addition to the $30 we spent on our taxi. On the way out, we paid $20 for the taxi and nothing for the riad keeper to escort us out. We were ripped off. Otherwise, the riad was beautiful, great location, included a nice breakfast. Wifi was consistent. Bed throw had a stain, but the room was otherwise clean. Rooftop did not have a view. On Google, this place is called "Riad Dar Zahia". No in-room safe.

Beautiful
This riad is beautiful! The staff was incredible, the continental breakfast was delicious, and they even had someone come to the riad so that I could have henna put on before a wedding! Great service and beautiful place. If you're staying on the bottom floor, the only issue is that it is a little dim in the room but maybe that's how the ambience is supposed to be. I have no bad things to say except for the location. This riad is down little corridors - not alleys but corridors where the ceilings get lower. People told us that Morocco was safe but one evening we came back around midnight to our riad and two men 'offered' to give us directions even though we knew where we were going. The riad is located in a dead end and we were aggressively intimidated to give these men some money for 'helping' us. It was a little bit of a scary experience. Every night we were out, we never saw a police officer patrolling the souks (where this riad is located). I truly loved this place but because of this incident, I became afraid to leave the riad in the evening.

For the money you pay the location is a bit uneasy, you have to walk in an alley looking passway to get to it, once you get there it an unforgettable little place with three suites, very nice stuff and very clean
