Our family of four stayed one brief night in Riad Meknes as a stopover during a drive from Tangier to Merzouga. While we didn’t have too much time in Meknès or the riad itself, we did enjoy both the town and riad. Our room was spacious and we loved the lovely decor throughout the riad and the interesting layout. We had a quick dip in the pool and wished we’d had more time to use the garden courtyard. We did get lost in the medina while trying to find the riad to check in - and Google maps had a role in leading us astray - but we only found it thanks to some kindly locals showing us the way. I’d advise ignoring Google maps and making detailed arrangements with the riad on how to find it in advance of showing up.

Très beau mais très défraîchi / pas de vrai wifi

Très belle chambre dans un beau riad traditionnel, décoration originale, mais les meubles et les sols sont complètement délabrés, la porte de WC/salle de bains ne ferme pas (pas de poignée, encadrement de la porte endommagée), les WC marchent une fois sur deux... Wifi inaccessible dans la chambres et la plupart du temps également dans les parties communes. Le personnel est en revanche très sympathique et à l'écoute.

Accueil déplorable, service médiocre !!!

La Responsable qui fait la sieste à longueur de journée et qui râle quand on lui demande d’être Servi, ou juste pour nous donner à manger. Pas d’eau dans les chambres, nous avons pris 2 douches en une semaine, il parait que c’est normal d’après la responsable...;( Franchement si vous voulez être crasseux, être mal accueilli et mourir de faim, foncez c’est pour vous !!! Par dessus le marché c’est très cher !!! Une honte !!! Dommage car la ville est magnifique !!!

Palace, excellent classic cooking

Slightly faded palace, with nooks and crannies, and cool old stuff all around with lovely furnishings and immaculate bedding and seating areas in the ornate and unique rooms. We were there first days of January and all the spaces were cold, but wall heater plus space heater and heavy blankets helped. Really a rare place...I would recommend it for the experience. Like staying in a museum. We had dinner there the first night which was truly exceptional, without fuss but a classic preparation from the eight different salads through the sumptuous chicken tagine to the coconut macaroons and tea for dessert. This was the best cooking we had in the 10 days and 5 cities we visited in Morocco. It is a destination spot.

Lejano, sucio y personal desagradable

Algunos taxis se equivocaban de puerta, está al final de un entresijo de callejones oscuros. Frío, desaliñado, nos cobraron una noche de más, el desayuno se sirve exclusivamente a las 8 sin más margen, ni siquiera hay enchufes para las lamparillas de noche. El peor personal que he encontrado en muchos años. No vengáis.

Riad bien placé pour visiter Meknès et environs

Très beau riad et personnel très acceuillant et serviable. J'ai visité le site romain de Volubilis et c'est le personnel du raid qui a commandé le chauffeur pour 4 heures d'excursion avec le village de Moulay Idriss.

Good to see but not stay in

My first impression was good but wait until you stay there. I regret the time I booked the holiday. The room is very spacious but probably hasn't been cleaned from dust for a year. Everything smell of dust. The bed, pillows, carpet, floor, and furniture. The bathroom is disgusting. My wife made a decision nobody is allowed to take a shower that night and we should wait for next stay in fes. The shower is disgusting. The toilet is clean but smell. The basin is broken and look dirty. The food in the restaurant is good quality but probably over priced for morocco. Couscous meal 110 Durham. In the square 50 dirham but the cats sits below the table awful. The breakfast is free but very very basic I have no intention to go to meknas again but if I do I will not stay there again.

illustere marokaanse ryad

de ryad is prachtig. alle kamers ook. maar wel aan wat modernisering toe. wifi niet op eigen kamer. badkamer alles werkt maar wat ouderwets. ontbijt prima in verrukkelijke ambiance (binnentuin, galerij). Je moet ff de steegjes leren kennen anders verdwaal je. maar het centrum is niet te ver weg (5 minuten). de volksbuurt ook best intrigerend om tussen de mensen te zijn. en iedereen helpt je. de stad is heel boeiend. zoveel te zien. en te verkennen.

Nice stay if you don't mind the walk

Hard to find and a few minutes walk away from the next street accessible to car traffic. Min. 10 min walk from main plaza. Very nice and quiet setup, even including a little swimming pool. Great breakfast and nice service, although very little English spoken. Our room door was difficult to completely close from the inside - no latch, just a padlock - and otherwise would leave a sizable gap for all kinds of insects to come in when we had the lights on after dark. Leaking water faucet, few and improperly installed electrical outlets, and missing shower curtain on the negative side.
