“In my opinion, what sets this hotel apart is its commitment to creating a familial atmosphere, complemented by its traditional Moroccan design with modern comfort. I especially appreciate the location, tucked away in a safe alley yet still close to the Medina's main attractions. The indoor pool and personalized concierge service further enhance the experience, ensuring a memorable stay.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Riad Merzouga provides a charming Moroccan experience near the Medina, with guests frequently highlighting the beautifully decorated rooms and good-sized spaces. A delicious breakfast featuring local specialties is commonly enjoyed. The rooftop terrace is a particularly appreciated feature, though some guests have noted the location can feel a little removed from the very center and on a rather lonely street.

Breakfast featured yogurt and fresh juice. The staff helped me find activities (which was very helpful).

The neighborhood felt a bit dodgy. The riad is small. It did not feel very private (especially on the ground floor).
