Riad Zyo

I’m really glad I booked Riad Zyo. It is very central, but once you step inside it is quiet and very relaxing. The staff is super friendly and doing everything in their way to make you comfortable. The breakfast was super, fresh food, fresh make omelette. Rooms are spacious. It would’ve been nice to have a little fridge in the room to cool water. Overall very pleasant stay in a beautiful area + Riad!

Riad Zyo is a beautiful gem tucked inside Rabat’s Medina. Recently renovated, it keeps its traditional charm while offering updated comforts. The three-story layout surrounds a peaceful central pool—perfect for cooling off on warm days. The rooftop is a lovely spot to relax with tea, read, or catch the sunset. Breakfast is classic Moroccan, fresh and nicely presented. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. For what it offers, I’d say the price is very fair. It’s a calm, stylish escape in the heart of the city. I’d absolutely stay here again!

An unforgettable stay! This Riad is in the perfect location—peaceful yet right in the heart of everything. We only had the chance to enjoy breakfast one morning, but it was delicious: fresh baked goods, lemon juice, and rich coffee. The Riad itself is a visual delight, with stunning architecture complemented by a thoughtfully curated collection of art spread throughout, adding richness to the space. There’s also a beautiful rooftop, perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings. What truly made the stay special was Mahdi’s warm and generous hospitality. Can’t wait to return!

Wow! We are staying here as I write. This is one of the most comfortable small hotels I’ve stayed in anywhere in the world. A modern update of a traditional riad, or house with solid exterior walls and interior rooms surrounding on open courtyard with a pool. I’ve included only a picture of the ceiling in our room to make sure you understand this isn’t in a public area. That ceiling is in in our bedroom! Every detail throughout is made for relaxed comfort. We came back from touring in the heat today and my wife took off all of her long clothing and we sat in our bathing suits, hers a bikini, around the pool drinking beer before a fabulous lunch. Great service and wonderful food! We highly recommend this hotel for its proximity to the real Morocco and as an oasis from its heat.

We stayed one night at Riad Zyo. The room was beautifully designed, featuring elegant stained glass windows and grand doors. The architecture is a work of art. The property was clean, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable stay. I would recommend the riad to start providing private transfer services from the train station but otherwise it was a perfect stay.

Located within the Rabat madina; close to all the main attractions within 15-20 mts walking distance. Get a full local cultural experience. Rooms are clean, reasonable amenities. Manager/ Owner was ok; not overtly friendly or informative. Breakfast is ala carte and they cook to your taste.

As we pulled up, parked the car and Mustapha started to remove our luggage, I was completely confused. Where were we going? We walked the small, crowded streets, dragging our luggage (good thing we pack light), down what appeared to be a very old part of town, then to an alleyway. Where were we going? Surprise!!! This lovely little riad is tucked away, with no clue from the outside about the lovely, warm welcoming interior. Couldn't have been happier! Comfortable beds. Delicious breakfast. Excellent service.

Charming accommodation and only few steps away from Ave Mohamed V where all kinds of shops, eateries etc are available. No elevators in here so big luggages and people with mobility issue may need some help. Comfy bedroom. Shower can be erratic temperature wise. Continental breakfast.
