Moroccan Architecture and Traditional Stay

I am happy with my stay , I was really looking for a traditional Moroccan place to stay and Ryad Alya did not disappoint. The architecture is very traditional and I can feel the local tradition in my stay. They also served the best traditional Moroccan breakfast and Idris was so nice to wait for me for my late check in and also for providing me good breakfast himself. I recommend this place in your next trip and they also have a transfer from the airport or from the train to this place.

This was a fabulous hotel and the service was excellent! The staff were very attentive and offered us complimentary mint tea and cookies after our Medina adventures each day. Breakfast was different each day and my husband loved the tomato jam. They serve breakfast in the courtyard during winter/spring time when it’s too cold but they also serve breakfast on the rooftop in the summer I believe. The architecture of this place was amazing. Shout out to Otmane for being extra attentive at the front desk. I appreciated that they gave us new bottled water each day as many hotels do not do that. It was amazing to hear the call to prayer from the rooftop (which has an amazing view of the Medina by the way). We would definitely stay here again. Things that could be improved include: dim lighting in rooms, TV was all in German for some reason, sometimes the outside door took a while to open (they don’t give you a key to the riad main entrance), and the windows didn’t shut very well so you could hear the street noise a bit.

Ryad Alya was beyond beautiful. Our check in was handled by Houssen and I can’t say enough about how wonderful he was. He helped get our train tickets for the following day. He made sure we were happy and content with our beautiful upgraded room. He should be given every opportunity to advance in this profession. Houssen could teach a class on customer service!!

DARK. Our room was dark with only a small window to the exterior and poor interior lighting. The bathroom was also dark with poor lighting. The alleyway leading to the Riad has no lighting, we arrived at night and the alley was pitch black. We used the lights on our phones to help us find our way. The breakfast area was pretty and the breakfast was lovely. The staff was friendly, but could be pushy. I also did not like the spa services.

　比較的わかりやすそうな場所の宿を選びましたが、それでも少しわかりにくかった。　夜遅いチェックインにもかかわらずスタッフは優しく出迎えてくれ、ミントティーとクッキーでもてなしてくれた。 　チェックインの時にフェズの概要と主要な場所の説明と街歩きのコツを教えてくれました。　 　朝食は伝統的な旧市街のメニューを出してくれました。設備は古い邸宅を宿として利用するので潔癖症の人は気になる所がいくつかあると思いますが、掃除はしっかりされていたので、私は何の不満もありませんでした。中庭は美しく、とても居心地の良い場所でした。

アラフィフ夫婦。屋上からもメディナが一望出来き心が踊りました。昔のままの美しい装飾が印象的で伝統的な家屋を堪能出来き思い出に残るホテルです。小さいお子様連れのご家族や友人同志の方々も。二泊のうち一度はディナーもここで頂きましたが朝食と共にモロッコの味を楽しめるお料理で美味しかったです。スタッフの方も英語が堪能でない私達のために翻訳アプリを駆使してコミニュケーションを丁寧にして頂きました。モロッコに来たら一度はリヤドに泊まると良いと思います。ただ昔の家なので日本の家もそうですが他の部屋の水を流す音が聞こえたりなども若干あるので神経質な方は気になるかも知れません。

The location was really Nice, in the near neighbourhood of the Médina, but quiet. The staff was so helpfull, friendly, sweet and their english was very good. Excellent breakfast, all fresh, custom made and various. Very relaxing threatment in the hamam with relaxing massage! The only thing i van recommend the accomodation to do is upgrade their beautiful rooftop for relaxation moments, now there are only chakra, but a relax bed would-be so Nice to start or end the day! But we had a wonderful stay!
