Riad Akasia

Very goood option near by everything... just need google map also good breakfast, clean room .

We recently stayed at Riad Akasia and overall had an ok experience. The staff were kind and welcoming. The facilities, however, were quite basic. The room was clean but simple, and amenities were minimal. One thing that disappointed us was having to pay extra for bottled water. As Western travelers, we found this surprising and not very accommodating, especially in a place where tap water isn’t typically recommended for visitors. This wasnt communicated to us at the start of our stay so we had the surprise bill at the end. Unfortunately, there were renovation works taking place during our stay, which had not been communicated beforehand. The pool was completely covered with a tarp, and there were workmen directly outside our room for much of the time. This made it difficult to relax and enjoy the space, which is one of the main reasons for booking a riad experience. The area is very busy. Its a 20min walk to the medina which is an experience! Its is very lively with market stalls and locals going about their day. During the night it has quite a different feel. We often experienced being offered drugs or being told the roads were closed when they were not. We were constantly hassled. This made it harder to relax. There are no restaurants or cafes nearby (20min walk minimum). The taxis are also unable to stop right outside the riad so we had to navigate the labrinyth every evening.

Staff were amazing, mouhcine was there for absolutely anything we needed. Rooms were beautiful and super clean, great spot to be able to walk to souks, food etc!

The staff was very helpful and courteous with all aspects of check-in and they even held our luggage for us while we went to the Sahara tour for three days. Pool was very nice and they do offer breakfast included as well as have a small restaurant, even though it was a little bit pricey, they do cook for you. It was a very welcoming family atmosphere. They will book the Tours for you when you go there but please doublecheck your prices because we paid a lot for the Sahara tour and could’ve got it for much less also they were pushing a lot of other tours so just do your research so you know what you’re paying for and get the best price and compare other options, especially if you are renting a car like we did. The one thing was that it is inside of Medina so you have to walk-through or past peoples houses or apartments just to get to the room, but it’s not really a big deal. The other thing was that parking in the parking lot in front of the actual building is confrontational as the guys were demanding money from me in the parking lot and then there was a discrepancy about that, but overall I can’t complain I paid only 25 MAD AND WAS ABLE TO PARK MY CAR THERE FOR SIX DAYS SO I GUESS THAT’S NOT BAD AT ALL

Getting there we felt a bit unsafe at night. But it was clean and good for sleeping.
