A bright airy modern riad

Very Disappointing Place
I was truly expecting a much nicer Riad at this per night price. The only positive thing I can say is that the staff were super nice. I will begin with the worst. I got poisoning from the breakfast! I was sick for 24 hours. They must monitor the food service and make sure everything is fresh.
The room was extremely small and not well designed. The bathroom was a total disgrace. It was not clean and rusted. AWFUL. I have been at other Riads, which were lower priced and were a thousand times nicer. I cannot recommend this Riad. I believe they need alot of makeover since it does have potential to be beautiful. They also need to monitor the food servce.

La prochaine fois que je reviendrai, je demanderai à avoir une chambre plus éloignée de la salle des repas car depuis cette chambre, on entend tout depuis les cuisines , mais à part ce détail tout était vraiment parfait

Nice place
The owner and staff were very nice, and the included breakfast was great, as was the rooftop terrace and the small pool. The hotel's dinner (which we had only once) was a bit limited and slightly pricey for Morocco, but very good. There were several small street cafes within 50 yards of this place, as well as a variety of street food. The location was excellent, as you can walk to the Kasbah (5 min), ATM's (2 min), the Tour of Hassan (20-25 min), the Rabat Ville train station (20-25 min, though it would be difficult with rolling luggage as parts of the medina are rocky), and even the ruins of Chella (50 min--we took a cab for about $1.50). This hotel is about 100 yards from the intersection of Ave Laalou and Ave Mohammed V, which is a northern entrance to the vehicle-less medina. (Note: the northern section of Ave Mohammed V allows no cars, but the southern part, near downtown and the Rabat Ville train station, south of the medina, does allow cars. Also note that this northern section of the medina is not too crowded. We felt very safe. The wifi worked well, too. We really enjoyed our time in Rabat, and the Riad Zyo and the surrounding neighborhood were key elements of that.

Lovely stay, fantastic breakfast
The riad was very lovely and was in a good area with lots of shops and restaurants. There is a very pretty pool (which we did not try on this trip) and a nice landscaped rooftop for lounging. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh orange juice, coffee, tea, fresh fruit salad, baked goods, spreads, and olives. We did not eat dinner there, but the menu looked very good. Overall a very nice stay, and we would absolutely stay again.
The restaurant to the right as you head toward the new part of town served a great tagine.

Le riad Zyo... un rêve éveillé
Le raffinement et l'esthétisme au coeur de la médina de Rabat : si vous voulez expérimenter le plaisir de tous vos sens, la beauté des lieux, la chaleur de l'accueil et le raffinement de la décoration et de la nourriture, poussez la porte du riad zyo et laissez-vous porter. Vous aurez peut-être la chance comme nous de rencontrer son propriétaire, de discuter d'art et de peinture et de repartir avec des souvenirs enchantés.

Feedback sur le Riad Zyo
Je suis venue à Rabat pour 3 jours pour le travail et un week-end de relaxation. Le personnel du Riad Zyo est aux petits soins avec les clients et propose plein de bons plans pour les visites! Le Riad est très propre, l'ambiance est agréable, la terrasse sur le toit permet de profiter du soleil au calme, la nourriture est vraiment bonne. Ne pas hésiter à réserver dans ce lieu incroyable!

Great Place to Stay in Rabat
We spent two nights at Riad Zyo on arrival to Morocco and after two weeks of here and half dozen other riads, I have to say that Zyo definitely was one of the better places we stayed at. The room was big enough, the heat was sufficient (we were there at the end of November), all of the fixtures were in good working order, comfortable bed, strong water pressure, good Wi-Fi signal and a really good breakfast. The staff was friendly, spoke English well, and helped with many things. And the location was great – the little alley Zyo is located on is just off Mohammed V Avenue, the main street in the medina. So when we came out of our rooms there were plenty of food options, retail services, etc. Finally, I have to say something about the décor – most of the riads we stayed at went for the traditional look and often felt like a bed and breakfast in the United States where they fill up the room with rustic items to create “atmosphere”. And part of the effect is also to make it dimly lit. While I enjoyed this atmosphere at first, I have to say that I kind of got tired being in dimly lit rooms with loads of 19th century Arabic knick-knacks. I really liked Riad Zyo because it was bright and airy and had a modern design sensibility. Not a Western look, but a very modern, very Moroccan look. Good for them! If you are going to be in Rabat, I would highly recommend the Zyo.

Amazing Riad in the Medina
The Riad is great, clean and very beautiful. It situated in the Medina and very close to the Kasbah. The souk is also nearby. My boyfriend and I received very warm welcome. The room is very comfortable and breakfast was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to all of you!

Relaxing
The location was fairly accessible from where the taxi dropped me off. Not many tourists around, but more of a local area. Interesting to wander around.
Lovely rooftop terrace and very helpful staff.
Breakfasts always had new and tasty items to try.
You should not have to pay more than 10dh for taxi ride to get to riad from train station.

Great owner, amazing pool, perfect location
The owner is absolutely one of the kindest people I have ever met. I was sick and he went out of his way to help me and didn't even charge for soup and ginger concoction which I asked for late in the evening. The pool is so nice it makes you want to stay at the Riad all day. We were also upgraded for free. The location is perfect in a busy part of the Medina but also close enough to the road that you don't have very far to walk after being dropped off by the taxi. The riad helped arrange our transfer to the airport and the driver was punctual, even though we were leaving at 5:30 am, (not always the case in many other places we stayed during our trans-Morocco trip) and reasonably priced. I stayed at fancier/more luxurious hotels in Rabat, but overall, this was the best. When I return to Rabat, I will choose this one for my entire stay.
