Ryad Amiran & Spa

I love the property very personal Very attentive Feels like home Experience the cultures Miss not having any media connection like a radio or tv in the room

Our stay at this hotel from start to finish was pretty comfortable. There were a few instances which made the experience unsatisfactory, but on the whole we enjoyed our 4 nights at Riad Amiran. We arranged pick-up from the airport with the hotel and we found our driver waiting patiently outside even though our flight was delayed by 2 hours. We compensated him for the wait (tip the driver, don't pay him for the journey like we did. This is charged by the hotel afterwards). Tired and hungry, we arrived at the hotel earlier than the check-in time. Now usually when this happens, the hotel is happy for me to leave my luggage and allow me to go off to explore/eat/shop etc. In this case we sat there for 50 minutes with light refreshments as a hotel staff went off to clean a room. I didn't expect to be checked-in (although I have been when it's only an hour or so early), but we sat there until exactly 2pm when she returned and showed us to our room. We came downstairs 10 minutes later with the intention of going to eat and was greeted by one of the owners. She was informative and gave some good tips and advice, although I found her approach somewhat condescending. We met the owner, Adil and another member of staff who were incredibly polite, welcoming and extremely approachable. We found the female owner/staff member arrogant, hostile and just a tad rude. We saw her twice when we came down to breakfast and she completely ignored our presence.

Breakfast was huge and delicious--more than we could eat (fruit, cakes, 1-2 pancake types, baguette, jams, honey, tea and coffee). My husband would have liked a savory option, but solved this by buying cold cuts at Carrefour (20+ minute walk away). Very comfortable bed. Nice seating area on the roof - cool and breezy in the evening. Refrigerator and hairdryer in the room. We were quite happy w/o television. Recommend bringing a reading light/torch as overhead/bedside lights are a bit dim and leaving the windows onto the courtyard open leads to lack of privacy. Earplugs might be useful to have as occasionally other guests can talk loudly at breakfast or in the courtyard and the sound travels. (It depends on who is staying. There were also very quiet days.) WIFI was a bit slow, but sufficient for email/surfing the internet, insufficient for work-related use with lots of downloading/uploading or skype conferences. Easy walk (20 min) to Jemaa el Fna square and to the souks. Colorful greenmarkets near the ryad. Nice hammam nearby (Mythic Oriental Spa; tourist-oriented) - best massage I've ever had. We also splurged and went to Latitude 31, which was 100 meters from the ryad. Beautiful dinner on our first night in Morocco. Overall, a wonderful experience and a good night's sleep every night.

Excellent my stay the room was clean and food was delicious breakfasts was homemade excellent location
