Riad El Ma was great, well situated, close to the Bab Mansour, the square and other historical sites. The pool at the rooftop was perfect at the end of a hot day after visiting the city. The staff was wonderful, I really felt at home. Special thanks to Amina 1 and Amina 2 for all their help and patience, especially with my bus situation to Chefchaouen.. lol. Amina 2 is a fantastic cook, the couscous dinner meal was delightful. One thing is , it would’ve been perfect to have someone onsite for massages, henna tattoos during a relaxing day. I definitely recommend Riad El Ma for solo travelers or family.

Riad El Ma is a lovely riad a few minutes walk from the Bab Mansour gate. Our hosts, both named Amina, were very welcoming and helpful. We had delicious food, one dinner and two breakfasts, and we enjoyed our stay there very much. We had a heater in our room which was much appreciated since it was December.

The staff were most helpful with our family when we had an illness. They went out of there way to provide help. Mohamed even sent his son out late at night to find some special food and medicine for our child.

The room we had was small but there were larger rooms, so be sure to book those. The bathroom needed renovation.
A true quiet paradise hidden behind a closed door in a blank wall. It was as close to our imagined understanding of what a Riad was supposed to be. We stayed at other “Riads” that lacked feeling or authenticity but without adding any comfort or charm.

“Cozy-arabic-style hotel”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

The Hotel was not easy to find, even though we got instructions from the staff per email. WiFi is available in hotel but the connection comes and goes, and it is really slow, and sometimes even doesn't work. The Room had a completely useless system to be closed, with no safety for our things inside.
Really amazingly gorgeous Hotel in the middle of the Medina: an authentic dreamlike arabic House where all rooms are around a cozy patio. Staff were super friendly from the very first moment, it looks like it is managed by nice women. A Dinner was offered to us (with an extra price) prior to our arrival, and we can totally recommend it, it was exquisite: housemade moroccan starter, main and dessert with freshly cooked ingredients. Nice and pleasant roof terrace, that unfortunately we couldn't enjoy due to our short stay. Spacious room and a delicious typical breakfast.

The riad is wonderful, breakfast is very good, the staff is very friendly and helpful. As in every riad, the rooms at ground floor could be a little noisy due to the presence of other guests in the courtyard, but this little inconvienece is more than compensated by the rooms, which are spacious and beautiful.

“Beautiful Riad in the center of Meknes.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends

If you arrive by car you will need to park near the main gate of Meknes and then find your way through the Medina, but it's only a 5-10 minute walk with the luggage.
Attention from the staff was really good. The breakfast was big and delicious. Rooms are spacious and beautiful, so are the common areas and terrace on top. The Riad is hidden in a small alley but asking around you will find your place quickly.

The ryad is very beautiful, with many details and a lovely patio plus rooftop terrace. It was cold so we çould not use the pool, that looked nice. It is located in a very picturesque part of the souk (quartier ses bobines). The ladies that run the place are the best, so friendly, helpful and smiling, as well as the lady who made breakfast. Many thanks!
