Riad La maison d'à côté

This is a beautiful renovated Riad in the medina of Meknes. The location is great and close to one of the main squares as well as to many of the Meknes attractions, restaurants, and taxi stands. It would have been helpful to have a map prior to arrival, as ultimately a local shopkeeper showed us the way to the (unmarked) Riad. This Riad is run by the owner and his family, who are friendly but not very welcoming. They did not have our reservation when we arrived and it took several hours to resolve this even though we showed them our confirmation information. Breakfast was simple and tasty, but quite late at 9am. We asked for an earlier breakfast in order to take a train for a daytrip and despite an agreement from the owner, no one was up at that time, so we ended eating at a nearby cafe. The Riad is extremely loud at night with children, TV, music, and other guests. This ends around 11:30pm and was quite stressful. This Riad might be good if you are a late sleeper/riser or don't have any early trains to catch, or maybe if you have children yourself.

I surprised that Hotel.com categories this accommodation in hotels group!In fact,it's a local property in which the owner arranges all services! I have emailed twice for a pickup service a day before check-in,and the answer was recieved while I had been in there!also hotel phone number in hotel.com website was wrong and we found the hotel by chance! The room has only a fireplace and it's not enough warm,Breakfast isn't good and tasty! At all,it's not recommendable!

This was our third destination in Morocco. Up to then we had encountered Riad owners who seemed to love their business and tried for us to get the best impression of their country. Here the owner seemed to have found a business that fed him and his family, but was neither welcoming nor really available to give advice. To get to the bathroom from the room we had to go down and up very high steps and the towels weren't either changed nor dried during the day.

Kleines staubiges zimmer, akzeptables frühstück, nettes personal, sicher, schwer zu finden, schöner innenhof

Très facile d'accès une fois y avoir été accompagné. Au coeur de la Médina, nous avons trouvé ce Riad très charmant et chaleureux a l'instar de ces hôtes ! Nous y avons passé 6 nuits en famille (2 adultes, 1 fille de 18 ans et 1 garçon de 8 ans). Qualité de litrie très bonne, nuits exceptionnelles, réveillés par les oiseaux et le coq on est prêt à revenir.
