“Tranquil riad”

We had a fantastic stay in Riad Africa. The staff were incredibly welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. The facilities were brilliant and the room was cleaned every day. The breakfast was plentiful and regularly stocked and they were accommodating if you required anything. We ate dinner in the Riad and it was wonderful. The hotel itself is set back from the main shopping road and is lovely and quiet. The hotel is wonderful to stay in and the onsite spa is brilliant. I had two treatments and they were fantastic. The small pool area inside is wonderful to sit around and relax. Overall it was a fantastic experience and the staff go above and beyond to accommodate your needs.

“Highly recommend”

Stayed 4 nights here with 2 friends. Highly recommend this riad for its warm welcome, super helpful and friendly staff, incredible buffet style breakfasts and a very rounded offering of food, spa, good WiFi , fridge, tv in the rooms. The riad is spotlessly cleaned every morning and loved watching the staff work hand in hand. Will come back!

“Good Location”

The location is very good. 10 mins max to walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks. Basically you can walk everywhere from and to the hotel even the train station. I booked for the cheapest room but they seem to upgrade me to their standard room which is good. No replacement of new coffee&tea or tissue from housekeeping. Staffs are ok to good. Breakfast is a bit limited but its Morocco standard.

“Nice but not 4 star”

Whilst the Riad Africa has a feel of authenticity, it does lack some polish on the final product. We had a room next to the reception on the ground floor which was very noisy late in the evening and early morning when people were checking out or leaving on excursions. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable. The breakfast was a little disappointing, lacking fresh fruit and much variety. The location is excellent if a bit tricky to find on arrival. Staff were very helpful. We did not use the spa and did not see anyone else use it. It was not that inviting.
