Riad Yacout

“We booked this riad because it was conveniently located, just a short walk from the medina but outside of the walls and with a public parking but opposite the street. For this reason I would book it again. The breakfast was also great and the terrace very nice. The swimming pool is smaller than it looks in the photos but still good to have access to it. The rooms are clean and comfortable even if not very spacious and the bathroom doesn't have a door, just a courtain.”

“I cannot tell you enough about the wonderful staff. Markus was so helpful and kind. He worked very hard to make everyone happy. Whatever you needed, he instantly got for you. I hope the owners realize what a gem they have in this man and pay him accordingly”

“Our stay was extremely comfortable, and both the host and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. One thing I really appreciated was that the hotel offers two different styles of accommodation: a modern building and a traditional riad, giving guests the option to choose the experience they prefer.The rooftop is also beautiful and provides a lovely place to relax. The location is excellent, especially for anyone wanting to explore the ancient medina and the historical monuments of Meknès. Unfortunately, we visited during a period when many sites were under reconstruction, so we weren't able to see as much as we had hoped.The hotel entrance was a little difficult to spot because the city is currently renovating the roads, but this is only temporary and not the hotel's fault. The only downside for me was the breakfast. I found the selection quite limited, and in my opinion, it wasn't worth paying the additional breakfast fee. Aside from that, everything else was great, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.”

“I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Riad Yacout and feel obligated to warn future guests. I am writing this review to warn future guests. My booking at Riad Yacout was fully confirmed in writing for 7 nights (16–23 December), with two suites reserved. The confirmation clearly stated “Your booking is confirmed” and did not require advance payment. The booking terms were pay on arrival. Despite this, the riad attempted to charge my card before arrival, without authorisation and contrary to the confirmed terms. I immediately replied in writing, politely explaining that payment was agreed to be made upon arrival and asking them to honour the original booking. Instead of correcting their error, the riad cancelled my confirmed reservation. I then spoke with Asma at the front desk, who confirmed the cancellation and stated that rooms were now only available for five days, leaving me effectively stranded. During this call, both Asma and Layla were rude, dismissive, and unwilling to help. No apology or meaningful solution was offered. Cancelling a confirmed pay-on-arrival booking because an unauthorised pre-charge failed — and then treating the guest with disrespect — is completely unacceptable and highly unprofessional. I strongly advise travellers to be cautious when booking here. If any issue arises, do not expect fairness, accountability, or basic courtesy.”

“Upon arrival we had to move our bikes which were parked same place as the locals but only our bikes were made to move to a spot where we had to pay a guy.Its open public parking not a private garage were you are made to believe on line….very misleading. Having said that the bikes were fine the next day . The plunge pool had murky water so we didn’t use it. Food and break fast was good and location is excellent. Disappointed they did not accept credit card and we had to go and get cash for the food.”

“Excellent riad just inside the medina. Very helpful staff, good rooms, and pleasant atrium area. Ignore poor reviews - this place is well worth it.”
