Its a bit shabby but its clean, quiet during the night and in heart of real morrocco which we like but others may not. There is a coat stand that doubles as a wardrobe but we dont mind things like that others may not be happy with that. The main square is a 30 mins walk but a stop at chez hicham for a juice on route is great we did the same on the way back too it was a daily routine. Traffic outside riad is mad but you get used to it and just crack on. We would go back again it was our 3rd time staying there it suits us but if you want luxery its not the place to go.
It was a little noisier at night this time but it did go quiet for a good nights sleep.

Amazing location right next to the souks, meant you were in the heart of the city to experience its culture to the maximum. Ilias and Hosn were the best hosts and told us everything we needed to know about the area. They provided everything we needed and printed our boarding passes as well as pickup from the airport. Excellent value for money and great breakfast.

Our stay at Riad Dar Zaida was very nice. The Riad has a beautiful inner courtyard, where you can relax, drink tea and hide from the busy street and have a nice local breakfast for 3€. The rooms are simple but comfortable and clean for a 4/5 day stay. It's located at Rue el Gza an excellent location if you are looking for a true local experience. It is very close to the Medina and the Souks, so you can walk over there. The staff was really nice and extremely helpful, specially Sahil! Excellent relation quality/price and a nice cultural experience that reminded me of my roots and of what Iberian Peninsula used to be before this stupid European dream. If you have lot's of money and want to have a postcard touristic experience or swimming pools, go somwehere else or stay at home watching TV.
There was a plumbing problem with the shower siphon, but we later realized that it was a general problem in the city and not just in the accommodation.

The property was like living in someone home, if you’re expecting a pristine hotel… go somewhere else. This was the perfect place for an authentic Moroccan experience! The owners were super friendly and relaxed, welcomed us with tea and the perfect hospitality! They had a cat which was super cute!!!! The terrace was beautiful at night with all the lights that could be flipped with a switch, very efficient!
The place was amazing!

This place is full of character! I had a simple and cosy room on an upper floor and enjoyed sitting outside in the evening and the morning. The neigbourhood is great with restaurants nearby and coffee places in the morning. I booked here because of the location as a halfway point between the souks and train/bus stations. Just one tip: It's probably better to check in earlier rather than late in the evening.

Pretty central, nice patio, rooms pretty simple but cleaned on daily basis, very Moroccan style, quiet at night ( prayers start around 6.20, some cat noises at night). The personnel is very helpful and even though we booked last minute they managed to organize extra rooms for our full stay. Is you’re travelling on budget is a great place to stay!
Poor lighting in some of the rooms.

Place very charming and colorful, historic building, very helpful owner, offers cheap tours of Morocco.
The maid had a vacation :) In the bathroom unpleasant smell from the sewage system, poor water pressure, problems with hot water. Breakfast very modest, daily bread, butter, jam. Problems with Wi-Fi, we did not use the air conditioning. On the terrace it would be useful to have a kettle so that you could make tea while spending the evenings. Overall standard for tourists for one night with backpacks. Some of the photos of the property on the booking belong to the restaurant which operates separately.

Beautiful riad with very friendly staff and very nice rooms both in decoration and size. Great roof terrace and lobby as well. I was also allowed to use the washing machine free of charge which was a big plus. Area is super local without many tourists around which is what I expected. Many little traditional restaurants around as well as a large market with food carts and fruit and veg. Short walk to both Jemaa El Fna and Gueliz as well. Wifi also decent which isn't always the case in riads.
Only minus was the a/c not being very powerful so it was a little hot in the room but not too bad.

Quality-Price is very good. The service was very helpful and nice. Breakfast was really good and tasty, the last day we asked for some typical moroccan “crepes” and they made them for us, also they prepared breakfast earlier for us too everyday. The location is great, quiet and 15min walk through the Zouk to the Jemaa el Fnaa Square. Great places to eat very close to the Riad as well. The room was good, not too big but we didn’t need more. We asked for 2 beds so we had a big bed and a single one. The Riad is very authentic!! Decoration is really nice and they have a terrace above where you can see the city and sunrise. We also booked a trip to have dinner in the Agafay desert. Pretty nice!!
