The stuff looks very unfriendly, they wanted to refuse paying by credit card. Very poor. All buildings need a seriuos repair.

Right in the medina, so a good location to the main square. Clean and nicely decorated rooms. The staff were very polite and smiley, but couldn't speak much English - not that it was an issue. Nice seating area to meet other guests and have the free breakfast in the morning.

The stay was very nice, rooms beautiful, breakfast were also good. Only unfortunate was the tax that we did not know of. We knew that taxes are not included in price given online, yet it was quite surprising. Our stay was otherwise really nice and i recommend this place for anyone looking for nice AND safe place in the old medina of Meknes.

We have been charged an extra 30 dirham per person per night for our room - this was nowhere else charged in Morocco, and was extra above the amount stated on our reservation.

Hammam was memorable. Please forward my thanks to Mustafa and his friends. It was unfortunate that the dinner was exactly the same as I had the night before at a restaurant, but more expensive at the Riad! Breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice and home-made jams would have been better. Room was excellent, very clean, nice interiors. I did not think in advance that riads do not have heating, but only air conditioning that can also increase the temperature and that they could be a bit cold

High quality Riad at an affordable price. Just in the center of the Medina, easy to reach on your own, the staff is very helpful!

Absolutely beautiful Riad! It was the nicest place I stayed in Morocco as I was on a budget. We happened to be the only people there the night we stayed and it was cool to have the place to ourselves. There was a slight language barrier with the staff, but nothing insurmountable. Everything was very clean and the location was a short walk to the main square. I would definitely stay here again.

Riad Zahraa was the perfect place to stay at the start of our Morocco trip. Abdul and his family were the most welcoming and kind hosts a tourist could ask for. The location of the riad was a bit confusing to get to at first, but after a couple times navigating the medina, we were easily able to find our way. It's a hidden jewel in the heart of the Meknes. And the rooftop view of the city is AMAZING! I highly recommend this riad. By the way, their breakfast and dinners are also delicious!

We stayed at Riad Zahraa our first night in Morocco and writing this review ten days later after much travel, still have fond memories. Our room was charming and cozy and the hospitality was good even by already high Moroccan standards. This is a charming riad of the typical style, in the heart of Meknes, at a good value for the price.

Staff seem very shy but are friendly people. The room was nice and the breakfast was typical bread, jam, juice, and coffee but good nonetheless. I liked the location, near enough to the main square of the medina. My friend and I felt very comfortable here. Not a party hostel at all and that was perfect for us. Minor issues:had to knock each time to get in and once we waited 10 minutes b/c nobody was there.Only one key available to the room. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
