Friendly staff, even a bit shy but very helpful! Green courtyard and terrace, delicious breakfast that various reach day - omelet, yoghurt, various Moroccan crepes and bread. Good location in the Medina around the corner from the camel butcher.

Mhammed Morocco

The breakfast was good. The staff in this Riad was exceptional- so nice and friendly. Loved them.

Kari United States of America

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.

Best riad we stayed in Morocco. Hosts welcomed us with tea in a beautiful and typical place with flowers and sun, central but quiet at the same time. It overcame our expectations as regards costs and services: the room was really nice and with everyday cleaning, not missing anything. Breakfast excellent and abundant. The terrace is special, with a cold swimming pool to fresh and deckchairs to rest. The atmosphere is harmonious and really respectful of guests. We also used the washing machine service. Highly recommended in Meknes !

Gallama Spain

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Adrienne Canada

The women who run the Riad are really helpful and welcoming. The room was comfortable and the place was beautiful and well located. We went by car and you can park quite near the Riad. Dinner and breakfast were great.

Host Info

Host Review Score
The imperial city of Meknes is the perfect gateway to explore an authentic Morocco. The Riad el Ma guest house is located in the heart of the historic city center, a few steps away from the town’s most famous monuments such as the beautiful Bab Mansour gate and the Bouinania Medersa. In the delicious atmosphere created by running water and foutains, you can relax in a fully renovated “Riad”, a traditional moroccan mansion built around an open courtyard.
