Meknes hotels

Pros: What a great find. We had a really lovely stay there. Wonderful staff, beautiful riad with tradional furniture ithroughout, including in the reception, restaurant & bedrooms,; our bedroom was v comfortable with ensuite with hot shower - bliss. It was offseason & v quiet the day we arrived & Hassan let us choose our room which was an added bonus. There are a number of lovely terraces & we ate one night up there. We also had tea there as well as when we arrived, accompanied by yummy biscuits. Also to my husband's delight they were able to procur a beer/wine which he was really longing for after a full day sighseeing (we loved Voulibis & Molay Idriss by the way) All in all a great place to stay - thanks for all the help & exceptional service, Hassan.

Pros: Welcome by staff and owners, food, finding us wine & the riaf decor and ambiance.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The inside of the Riad was truly beautiful. Our room (the family suite) was spectacular - One Thousand and One Nights level decoration, and very comfortable. The layered terrace was incredibly beautiful, with lots of plants, and safe for children to roam around in. Breakfast was the best we had in Morocco. The riad has games (eg puzzles) for children which helped the transition times while everyone was getting ready to go out or rest time for parents.

Cons: The location is right next to one of the side entrance doors to the medina, in front of the zoo. There is a public parking nearby. Location is not exceptional - there are some narrow medina streets with not much light and few people. However, 2-3 min out you enter a main street and from there it's not too far from the main square where the evening market and restaurants are- it is about a 10-15 min walk. The hotel needs to get its credit card policy right. When we booked, the hotel was advertised as accepting credit cards. No extra charges were mentioned. After the booking, we received an information email which said that the hotel would charge extra 3% for credit card payment. I did not see the email as we were traveling. When it was time to pay the hotel first tried to resist payment by credit card and when we insisted it tried to charge us the extra 3%, which we refused to pay out of principle. The hosts were clearly offended by it. It all turned a great experience into a bit of a sour ending.

Pros: The hotel was near the medina, but not inside, so we could easily reach our car for making trips around the area. Rooms are comfortable the roof is a good place to hang out. The people are very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Probably for reasons the hotel can’t do anything about sometimes you smell a touch of sewer. The big room downstairs was not appealing to us. Too dark. We sat on the roof all the time.

Pros: Quiet spot where you get to experience local life. Hassan was most helpful and made our stay outstanding.

Cons: Room highly decorated

Pros: The breakfast was fabulous on the terrace upstairs. The staff were wonderful. Dinner was excellent. The responsiveness was fantastic as well. We had a lovely stay!

Cons: Getting receipts took a long time, and some of the room facilities could use a bit of a refresh. But overall, it was wonderful! Thank you!

Pros: We had a great stay here - lovely room, wonderful roof terrace and delicious breakfasts. We ate dinners here too - perfectly cooked traditional food. All the staff were really welcoming and helpful. We loved this beautiful Riad - the best we stayed in on our trip.

Pros: The Riad was clean, comfy and nothing was to much to ask for. Our room was large and accommodated our family of 4 easily. Would happily stay here again when in Meknes.

Pros: The riad is at the edge of the Medina, so easy to find. The rooms are very well appointed and attractive, and the bed was very comfortable. The terrace on the roof of the riad is very nice, a great place to relax and have breakfast and dinner. The food was very good at the The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Because the riad is at the edge of the Medina, it is a short walk to all the main attractions.

Pros: The place is beautifully and tastefully decorated, with a fantastic terrace and incredible view from and great areas to sit and relax. We didn't use the pool because it was too cold, but it looked clean. I can't speak to how the air conditioning would be in a hotter season, but for us in November the room had two different heaters (though one was a bit loud) and we were plenty warm. It was nice and quiet at night. The location was great, easy to find using Google maps or to have someone meet you at Bab Mansour. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was always served professionally and promptly. The breakfast was better than the typical Moroccan standard. There was bread and jam, of course, but also a bowl of fruit, some different pancake style breads, and eggs baked with tomatoes and olives. We had dinner one night for €15/person and it was a multiple course meal, tasty with fairly small portions. Worth trying for sure but a bit pricy for us.

Cons: The bed was quite hard. The whole place had a faint but pervasive musty odor, almost like cat urine and the surfaces in the room were a bit dusty. People with strong allergies may want to avoid. The bathroom needed some repairs to be sure. The toilet was leaking water out the back. The shower didn't drain well so we were standing in water up to our ankles by the time we were finished showering. The water heating system was badly regulated so that the water did not maintain a set temperature but cycled between lukewarm and scalding hot, which made for an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous shower. The staff were friendly but perhaps not entirely honest. When we enquired about trips to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, we were offered a private taxi for 500 MAD ($50), which seemed a bit much to us. After walking to the grand taxi stand, we received multiple offers of the same route but with more time to see the sights for 250 MAD...a $25 mark-up for the convenience of having someone call for you! So there seems to be a bit of a commission racket going on. Not exactly new for Morocco, but disappointing to encounter in an otherwise professional seeming place. The other thing that was mildly annoying was being charged extra for the "welcome tea" and the tea we had with dinner. The first was given seemingly as a gesture of hospitality and wasn't really framed in a way we felt like we could turn down without being rude (as in, "Here, sit down and rest and drink a tea. Welcome!") Also, €15 each and no drink included? Really? My problem in the end isn't the amount being charged but the underhandedness of it. It's very poor business practice to offer a set menu at a set price, ask what the client would like to drink but NOT offer any kind of menu or price list for that service, and then charge for it. A bit of advice to the owners, most American travelers will very much resent this kind of behavior.

Pros: The rooftop terraces were absolutely wonderful to explore and relax on. We have stayed in many Riad's and while each one is fantastic in their own way, the grandness of the Riad D'Or's was truly exceptional. In addition to the terraces, the hidden courtyards and meandering walkways were quite the joy to get lost in. Navigating to find your room, reception or the restaurant was like having your own private medina.

Cons: As a digital nomad, having access to internet is essential and while the rooms did have wifi - it wasn't on 24/7 and would disconnect whenever I would leave my room.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The interior design was stunning and the roof terrace(s) were beautiful with a stunning rooftop view of the city.

Pros: This is a special place to spend a night in. The riad is elaborately decorated. The place probably classifies as a historical landmark. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Nice view from the top terrace. They also serve food here and their dinner menu is definitely worth it. Breakfast was very good as well.

Cons: roof top chairs

Pros: A beautiful Riad in the old medina. Everything was great, from the beautiful rooms to the rooftop view, wonderful breakfast and good diner. The staff is awsome, super friendly, helpfull and they speak English, Spanish and French. A special thanks to Mohammed and Mustapha, who did everything to make us feel welcome and at ease. I will return when I come back to Meknès!!

Cons: I can’t say anything bad about this place.

Pros: Dinner so fine, excellent breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful interior, lovely room, excellent staff and delicious breakfast

Cons: Shower was adequate but not the best

Pros: It was great trip and excellent hotel.

Cons: Beautiful Riad, big and well cleaned rooms, gourmet food, friendly and servicemind staff. We very appreciate for our menager Muchamed, he was one of the best person who we have met in Meknes.

Pros: Lovely decor, friendly staff beautiful rooms, food in the restaurant was excellent, great breakfast.

Pros: Amazing meal both nights in their restaurant, good location and lovely roof top balcony.

Pros: Drive in spot , easy access , we parked right in front of the riad

Cons: Paid parking

Pros: Perfectly located Riad close to the Medina with a lovely rooftop swimming pool.

Pros: I loved this Riad. ALL of the staff were friendly and helpful. Achraf helped me arrange rides and guides to Fez and Casablanca which really made my travels so much easier and enjoyable. The people he lined up for me were great! I highly recommend this Riad. It's in a great location as well. Thank you to all the people at Riad Yacout!

Pros: Great location very close to city center. The Riad is awesome and a great place to stay. Breakfast in the morning was good.

Cons: Nothing in particular

Pros: Located in the heart of the Medina, yacout has provided me and my parents with a wonderful time each time I have stayed there. The service provided by mr. Nourdine is wonderful, and there are always friendly faces. I was able to get a wonderful sleep in a very comfortable bed when I stayed there, and I woke up to a wonderful breakfast. The staff are also very amicable and speak several languages.

Pros: Lovely rooftop pool and breakfast on the terrace. Fantastic selection of Moroccan salads at dinner.

Cons: The room was very noisy.

Pros: The owner is a very gentle person and the dinner was delicious

Cons: It is a very nice Riad in Fes located in a very nice square with a small swimming pool on the roof!

Pros: Riad Hiba made us feel like family. They were so attentive and warm. We stayed 3 nights at Riad Hiba. Meknès is a fantastic city to visit and it’s the people that make it worth it. We especially enjoyed being able to see a bit of Moroccan life without the mass tourism aspect. The magic of the Riad and the nice rooftop terraces for a delicious breakfast in the morning and sunset views in the evening. Highly recommended!

Cons: A few issues with the bathroom but the Riad’s friendly staffed helped resolve it on the spot.

Pros: This little Riad is absolutely unique - a mix of old and preserved craftsmanship with creative modern touches like recessed lighting and silvery accents. It was figured from floor to ceiling and felt like staying in a genie’s bottle. The host upgraded our room for free as there was a vacancy, and our party of 3 stayed happy and comfortable in our luxurious room. We only had one day in meknes, but the host helped us immediately hire a private ride to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, and took all of the hassle out of our visit. The location is perfect - on the edge of the Medina and a quick walk to the new city. And breakfast was excellent! Meknes is definitely with a trip, and this little Riad is a must-stay.

Pros: Very helpful staff and made every effort to make my stay great. The private tour of the old town was excellent and reasonably priced!

Cons: The parking was quite a hike from the accommodation.

Pros: Huda was very informative and spoke great english. The breakfast was simple but delicious in the morning. She also helped us get a taxi to the train station before checkout. its usually quite difficult to get a taxi which can take large luggage. Huda also helped us lift our large suit cases up the stairs on check in and check out. Over all we were happy with our stay as the location was really good in the medina and is only a 20min walk to new Meknes.

Cons: We found the lighting quite dim in our room, but removing the shade covers helps a lot. It would have been nice to have some basic toiletries such as a shower gel but it was fine. We found the pillows to be quite hard and scratchy, they looked great but were not the most comfortable, maybe another set of soft pillows with plain covers would be good.

Pros: Very nice staff, great location. Very good breakfast and awesome rooftops.

Pros: Very nice riad, the decor is amazing, the terraces on the roof are superb. And the breakfast delicious. Really the best place to stay in Meknes!

Cons: The shower in our room only provided cold water. The beds and cushions were not comfortable (read really hard). We left with back pain. Breakfast was definitely not special.

Pros: Amazing decor and staff extra helpful. It's so beautiful and the location perfect.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing as well as their coffee and tea. The structure of the building is amazing! If you want a unique experience this hotel is a good place to stay. The showers are clean with hot water. The hotel is clean.

Cons: The beds are extremely comfortable but the pillows are a bit hard. I don't mind because I just rolled up a blanket and I was fine. You're in Morocco so I don't see why you should be picky over a pillow but if you are a sensitive sleeper that is something to be aware of.

Pros: Great rooftop and breakfast. Staff was very nice and suggested places to go along with a map. Room was beautiful

Cons: We were given the Cossette double but we booked the Mille et une nuits suite. We still liked the room, and I'm not sure if the info is just incorrect on here or not. Price was the same anyway. There is also no way those are king beds in the Cossette suite

Pros: great location, easy to find, friendly and accomodating staff, wi-fi,

Cons: if you expect 5 stars bathroom facilities not for you

Pros: The bedrooms are traditionally furnished, they look ok, although they are quite dark.

Cons: The bathroom is terrible. It is extremely small - 1 sqm for toilet and bathroom at the same time. It has a toilet, a tiny little sink and a big plastic bucket. It is completely impossible to take a shower in such a small place, maybe it would be possible if sitting on the toilet and taking a shower at the same time, but we did not want to try this out. So if you intend to take a shower after a hot day in the medina, do not come here.

Pros: breakast + roof terrace

Cons: room had no outside window

Pros: This riad was beautiful and comfortable and thanks to the multiple signs also easy to find in the confusing streets of the medina. The staff was very friendly and gave us an upgrade of the room, because the room downstairs had no lock.

Cons: -

Pros: Price is not overstated! Location is near by Medina of the city - good 4 walking and sightseeing tour.(But u should know that it's just absolutely impossible 2 find the first time the location of the riad with the map on the site!! The only one way 2 find it - take a taxi - map is 2 much relative! In the reality it's located very far from railways station but according 2 the map looks like just in a few streets). Very welcome owner (I suppose hi is French) of the riad!

Cons: Good way 2 save money if u gonna stay in the Riad but bad way 2 have comfortable and pleasant stay! Riad is quite small, rooms without windows (that's why everything including beds and furnishing is dump...), condition of everything is very neglected, shower is a toilet at same time and same place (just less then 1 msq! - we didn't take a shower at all because it's very uncomfortable and unpleasant), girls from the reception speak very bed English - difficult 2 communicate, frugal breakfast...

Pros: The staff were very hospitable Even though they had no English it was a fun time and they looked after us a treat Breakfast was good Let us use the washing machine and the view from the terrace was very scenic

Pros: The Riad has a perfect location and is very peaceful. We also liked the breakfast.

Pros: The staff were lovely. A very relaxing place and had heating in the bathroom

Pros: Very friendly and helpful owners and staff, obviously have put a lot of work into this nice old place. Full of character, nice views off the terrace. Catered to special dietary needs at breakfast.

Pros: The owner was not there when we arrived due to a sudden death in the family. Very understandable. The person standing in at reception only spoke Arabic. Thankfully another guest was able to show us to our room. The breakfast was basic but OK. What makes this great value for money is the location. Right on the edge of the Medina, close to taxis and easy to find.

Cons: Poor security. Room lock was a joke and wouldn't keep out the cat let alone a thief. No front door key and to gain entry you needed slim fingers and a pen. Thieves could figure that out as well. The electric heater had a sensitive thermostat and would turn off every few seconds, annoying and noisy. No soap or toilet paper in the room. The owner didn't want people to pay by credit card and insisted we pay by cash but she used a bad exchange rate for MAD. She added 10% to the posted exchange rate that day but I refused and offered the going rate. She accepted.

Pros: Beautiful loft room on ground floor. We were worried about noise from reception and breakfast area but it turned out that it was deadly quiet in the morning! Great breakfast - we love the local flat bread!

Cons: It was a little dark in the room.

Pros: Location was fantastic.

Pros: Old riad in which the owners have put a lot of work into. It is not modern and is just what i expected. The women are friendly and helpful, although there is no english spoken. Broken french was adequate.

Cons: All good

Pros: Very elegant maison in a perfect traditional style. The location is exceptional - easy to find, only 3 min from Bab Mansur. The staff is very professional and also very kind. it has been very touching to see the pictures of the restoration of the place. They testify that the owners kept original features of the Riad.

Pros: So much character to the place. I think we had the best rooms which were spacious and stylish - but we poked our heads round the doors of the smaller rooms and they were still large. We stayed in one night, bought in snacks and played games in the lounge area of our room - the staff saw we had bought wine and gin, so brought us some glasses and ice. We had a good time in Meknes and I'm sure a large part of that was having a lovely place to stay.

Cons: Not much! I guess the locks on the bedroom doors are a little tricky as they looked like the original doors - but easy enough to operate once you mastered them.

Pros: Fantastic hosts. Very attentive and even did some laundry for us. Beautiful decor. Very close to the Place el-Hedim where we ate most of the time and enjoyed the entertainment. Would highly recommend this riad.

Cons: Not a complaint but just a suggestion - a bedside lamp would have been greatly appreciated

Pros: Great location, friendly host and fantastic bathroom. Meknes is a great town to visit.

Pros: unique experience! beautiful riad! near to everything in meknes. rooftop view is amazing and staffs are very friendly :)

Cons: beautiful room but the bathtub in our room can't be used..

Pros: Staff very helpfull. Suit room very big and comfortable.

Cons: The hot water in the bath is only hot for 5-10 minutes. After 5min like cold.

Pros: Hosts were very kind and helpful. Nice breakfast and large room. Nice rooftop with a view on the animated square.

Pros: Private parking. The room was renovated recently (forgot the bathroom). The breakfast was good. The staff was nice. It's a good hotel, but a little bit expensive.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great staff, amazing breakfast.

Pros: Bed and pillows

Cons: There was some dust in the back head of the bed

Pros: Staff was excellent

Cons: Beds was noisy

Pros: I have stayed here before and always love this unique and beautiful place, this time I noticed many renovations and the staff were wonderful and always there to answer any questions. They provided help with visit to the medina and made me very confortable. I got to meet many people of different cultures, looking forward to my next stay. The food was excellent

Pros: wonderful building with beautiful rooms, friendly staff, excellent cooking

Pros: An unexpected place, or should I say Palace. We were upgraded to the suites, and what an upgrade that was. Normal people house a whole family with kids in spaces like this! A bathroom alone that was more than the size of a regular hotel room! Let alone the room itself, it was more than double that size. Real old-fashioned Maroccan upscale living this must have been. Amazing.

Cons: Well, there was a bit of stale air. Perhaps it was because the whole building was chill compared to 40 degrees C outside, but especially when you just enter you can't deny the smell. And yes, the Palace has a (rooftop!) swimming pool, but there were no real deck chairs surrounding it, which would have been nice after a whole day of travel and finally some relax time.

Pros: It was a great experience with them, the staff was very helpful and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Pool and upper balcony was pleasant.

Cons: Bedding and pillows could have been better.

Pros: Great ancient palace. Amazing atmosphere. Giant room.

Cons: The room was dark and a bit humid. The swimming pool should be cleaned more carefully.

Pros: It was beautiful. Like a Moroccan fairytale.

Cons: We didn’t realize that it was in the Medina and that the “free parking” was not free and not anywhere close to the Riad. We were traveling with an older lady and a blind man. It wasn’t really feasible for us to stay

Pros: Rachit and the rest of the staff is amazing. Ready to help in anything you need. He is always smiley and helpful. He made our stay even better just being around. The breakfast was good and in general we were very satisfied by the riad and our room, the location and the hospitality. Totally value from money.

Cons: The shower in the bathroom needs fixing, also the air conditioning isn't working properly. Check the filters. I also didn't quite like the behaviour of the woman ( probably the owner) that was shouting at the staff in front of us while we were having breakfast. Very unprofessional.

Pros: Nice riad in the middle of Medina meknes, Feel comfortable and enjoy the breakfast to!!!

Cons: I would stay longer if I could ..

Pros: Was too cold for us. But breakfast was very tasty and style of the road is pretty)

Pros: Great location and was simple enough to find by following th signs in the medina. Very easy check in, beautiful building and a lovley breakfast buffet.

Cons: The beds were very hard and the bedding was a bit lacking. They have put urinal tablets in the shower trays which stunk out the room if the bathroom door was left open.

Asked to pay at the counter for an extra day after a prepaid reservation. Confirmed my requested at the time of booking and denied it at the counter. Not good listeners and rude. None of them speak English. And I just wanted to get out of there. Awful experience.

Pros: Everything was perfect, the room I had was amazing, the staff were overwhelming friendly, they always smile and welcoming. The rooms are better than pictures, Thanks again for everything Belle Vue for excellent service.
