Riad Zyo

A great little riad in Rabat. Quaint but modern. Lovely staff, great breakfast. The rooms have everything you need, very clean, a cosy bed for a great sleep. Court yard pool to dangle your feet. This Riad also serves dinner. Unfortunately I didn’t know as they had a rally nice menu.

Compact but well decorated rooms Small central courtyard with a tiny pool and a backyard with a lovely back drop and some tables and chairs. Rooms at the rear wing very basic and sparse. Service exceptional and rendered with a smile and warmth. Bent backwards to serve early breakfast and it was fantastic and mouth watering. Fresh juice to tea and coffee, fresh home made cheese ,fresh fruits, different types of breads and an amazing in house apple cake , sautéed vegetables etc. Semolina porridge. Bread types ..mesmen like mini naan, flat Bun called Harsha made with semolina. Would highly recommend this place . But get a room in the front wing.

Stayed here in Jan 2024 with family. Location is in the main Medina of Rabat…and I must highlight that the Rabat Medina is relatively very new and also very well organized and with good road access, especially this section. The walk to the riad is short from the car drop off. The riad is a modern one and also functions as an art gallery. The interiors were a bright white and there were subtle Moroccan accents in between the art work. Our room was up a flight of stairs and was a long room which I think had been converted into a Triple…but all was good. We were able to walk down to the Kasbah by the seashore and also wander around the Medina easily from this location. Aircon/heater could work a little more efficiently, if I were to complain about something. Breakfast in the morning was very good…and similar to everywhere else we stayed in Morocco. My only issue with the hotel is that it was a bit noisy at night, but maybe that’s to be expected in a crowded large city. And secondly, too many young boys were hanging out in the alleyway all the time, either playing games or watching videos. In retrospect maybe staying outside the Medina is a better option in Rabat. And truthfully one could probably make Rabat a day visit while driving from Casablanca to Chefchaouen or Fes.

Nice blend of traditional & modern structures. Lovely courtyards. Very friendly accommodating staff. Clean. Intimate feel. Very comfortable. Well chosen textures and designs . Stayed one night but would have been glad to stay several more.

This is a small, clean, well located and well priced Riad in Rabat. The design is simple and light and the central courtyard features a nice pool. They provide an authentic Moroccan breakfast with omelettes made to order. Easy walk to bustling Medina and restaurants, but still easy to find.
