Beautiful pair of connected riads with an easy location just within the Medina and incredibly helpful, friendly staff (I don’t think there was a single point I sat down in the lounge for any length of time and wasn’t almost immediately offered tea).

A good hotel for those who wanted to live a new experience in the heart of the old heritage city, the hotel's old heritage style. The hotel is very clean

The manager Achraf, was the kindest person, who treated the Riad with utmost respect. We were upgraded when we walked into this very clean Riad, he offered excellent places to eat, gave us a general itinerary for the town and helped us secure bookings in the next two towns on our itinerary. Breakfast was nice and the Riad was very sharply decorated. I highly reccomend a stay here.

The rugs in the bedroom and the floor were dirty. The bathroom washbasin unit needed replacing
Ashraf was an extremely helpful young man. He gave us directions, suggested places to visit, informed us about the places that were closed for renovation. He helped when we had a problem with an electrical appliance, searching for an adaptor and then advising us which shop to go to for a plug. He went to the train station and purchased train and bus tickets for our onward journey. He even provided breakfast for us at 6.15am on the day we were leaving and then he walked with us to the main road and hailed a taxi and informed the driver which railway station we needed to be at.

“Nicely located, wonderful host, but once the construction will be done it should be even better.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
Information regarding finding the front door could be highlighted a bit better. People can get lost if they are not looking for it. The water pressure of the sink was really low. The water was trickling in. The only major complaints during our stay were the low quality of WiFi and the construction work outside with the pneumatic hammer making loud noises and also some fumes coming in through the bathroom ventilation.
The Riad is located right in the old part of Meknes, in front of the Bab Mansour. Access to the market, the Ville Imperiale and the bus connections to Volubilis are all easy. The host was nice and very friendly. The terrace is cute.

“Excellent location, very attractive riad, really comfortable, with outstanding staff & great value.”
- • Leisure trip

My only feedback was that my personal preference is for stronger coffee, but others may be fine with it!
Riad Safir was very professionally run - outstanding care for guests, beating many high class hotels. The 3 staff we met were delightful & went over & above to make us at home & answer queries. The riad has been decorated & presented with a great eye for detail, colour, blend of textures & artistic items. It was a soothing place, unpretentious, but very comfortable & pretty. The room (we were upgraded and had a larger room than expected, with 4 poster bed) was very comfortable & attractive, with a pleasant shower room. The roof terrace with its various levels was lovely. Breakfast was set, served individually to us, & was plentiful with varied items - always too much! Very well located, just inside the medina, & a short walk from the square, restaurants & main city gates. Very quiet overnight.

“The prettiest room we stayed in in Morocco (a country filled with pretty rooms!)”
- • Leisure trip

To get to the riad you have to go through a short, dimly lit passageway that seems to be a bit under construction. Still, the riad is easy to find and we never felt unsafe getting there so don't let that stop you from booking into this lovely place!
A beautiful and conveniently located riad in the medina with gorgeous rooms and a kind, super-helpful staff. A good breakfast is included in the price. The riad is really two houses that have been combined -- one decorated in the traditional Moroccan style, the other a little more modern. We stayed in the old half and it was the prettiest room we had during our entire trip.

“Contemporary Riad in the heart of beautiful Meknes ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Just a bit too clinical, it had some nice furniture and African art work, but somehow lacking in atmosphere, but that’s me, maybe other guests would like a more minimalist type of Riad, but the rooms were super spacious, which I did enjoy, and a bathroom that didn’t flood like so many! My stay was very comfortable and my 4 poster bed was divine!
The location was excellent, a stone throw away from Bab Mansour, however, I did not have a clue where to find it! as it’s located down 2 alleyways. when I arrived at the Bab, some kind locals called the Riad, and one of the staff came to collect me within 5 mins! Meknes locals are the sweetest people. The Riad is quiet, and large, the rooms very comfortable with a great hot shower, which was a godsend as it was pretty cold in November! The Riad is very contemporary and modern, and yes, the pictures are exactly as the website, but I found it lacked any atmosphere, and felt too clinical for me. The staff are very attentive and so polite, and I can’t fault them at all, very sweet. They assisted me with booking tours, and luggage to my taxi for my airport transport. Very professional, Ashraf was very kind helping me as I had a bad knee! So took control of my luggage etc! Breakfast was prompt as soon as I appeared! I managed breakfast once on the terrace as it is winter, so a little chilly! But it had a lovely view, and the terrace is stylish,
