Riad Amira

Beautiful riad with pool and terrace. The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially receptionist Hassan and owner Paula. Location is great too - right next to Saadian tombs and El Badi Palace.

It’s a peaceful place to stay, an intimate space with very friendly and helpful staff. I stayed for 5 nights and I was so happy there. The bed was extremely comfortable, I had plenty of space in the room and bathroom all with the natural light through the windows looking into the riad. I loved walking barefoot on the natural terracotta tiles and taking a dip in the plunge pool every afternoon. I lay on the lounge bed in the courtyard in the evening and stared at the stars.

Everything was lovely.

Beautiful Riad, comfortable bed and lovely rooftop where a delicious fresh breakfast was served. Staff very friendly and served complimentary tea on arrival. Far enough from the medina to escape the chaos and noise for a bit but close enough that you can walk there (20min walk to jamma elfna square) to explore the souks. Lovely rooftop bar right next door to the riad if you want an alcoholic drink at sunset.

The Riad was not very soundproof but I think this is probably true of most Riads from the way they are designed. The pool is also a very cold temperature too cold for a proper swim but nice for a refreshing cold plunge after being in the hot sun.

The room was lovely with interesting decor.

We did find it a little strange that there was no complimentary water in the room. We stayed in 7 other properties in Morocco and they all had 1 small water per person. The water bottle holder was there but we had to go and ask for it.
