Amazing place. Highlight of our Morocco trip. Even though all Moroccan hotels label themselves as riad, they are actually dars (lacking a tree or courtyad garden). This is a true riad featuring a sky high orange tree and a fountain right in the middle of courtyard. The whole place was beautifully decorated and each room was personalized. The hosts were the nicest. They made sure to put a crib in the room, even though I forgot to ask. They bent over backwards to meet our every request. The breakfast was amazing and their lunch was one of our best meals in Morocco. Their in-hotel hamam and massage service was also extremely reasonably priced and great. Overall, it's a gem of place and you won't regret staying here.

Beautiful Riad. We stayed as a family of four in the Fez Suite, which was luxurious. Service was excellent and breakfast delicious. Location close to Medina was convenient, yet also completely quiet inside. The only hiccough was the failure of the Riad’s driver to pick us up for our ride to the station at the end of our stay, who had otherwise been excellent on arrival. Thankfully it was easy to find a taxi just round the corner! But overall highly recommended. Thank you!

Moroccan Architecture and Traditional Stay

I am happy with my stay , I was really looking for a traditional Moroccan place to stay and Ryad Alya did not disappoint. The architecture is very traditional and I can feel the local tradition in my stay. They also served the best traditional Moroccan breakfast and Idris was so nice to wait for me for my late check in and also for providing me good breakfast himself. I recommend this place in your next trip and they also have a transfer from the airport or from the train to this place.

This was a fabulous hotel and the service was excellent! The staff were very attentive and offered us complimentary mint tea and cookies after our Medina adventures each day. Breakfast was different each day and my husband loved the tomato jam. They serve breakfast in the courtyard during winter/spring time when it’s too cold but they also serve breakfast on the rooftop in the summer I believe. The architecture of this place was amazing. Shout out to Otmane for being extra attentive at the front desk. I appreciated that they gave us new bottled water each day as many hotels do not do that. It was amazing to hear the call to prayer from the rooftop (which has an amazing view of the Medina by the way). We would definitely stay here again. Things that could be improved include: dim lighting in rooms, TV was all in German for some reason, sometimes the outside door took a while to open (they don’t give you a key to the riad main entrance), and the windows didn’t shut very well so you could hear the street noise a bit.

DARK. Our room was dark with only a small window to the exterior and poor interior lighting. The bathroom was also dark with poor lighting. The alleyway leading to the Riad has no lighting, we arrived at night and the alley was pitch black. We used the lights on our phones to help us find our way. The breakfast area was pretty and the breakfast was lovely. The staff was friendly, but could be pushy. I also did not like the spa services.
