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.

　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。

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.

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!!

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!

Este estabelecimento seria noBrasil uma pousada de alto padrão. Não espere estrutura de hotel! O predio tem 200 anoa e está todo restaurado. Os quaryos são confortáveis e relativamente pequenos. Falta uma televisão maior e mais canais. O ponto alto é o atendimento. Todos do Ryad lhe fazem sentir um sultao. Estão o tempo todo monitorando O bem estar do hospede. O hotel está dentro da medina, mas consegue-se chegar por taxi com bom preco e facilidade. Vc vai se surpreender com a seguranca do Marrocos. Pôde-se caminhar em qualquer lugar a qualquer hora do dia ou da noite. E quem fala isso é um brasileiro.

内装が素敵で豪華な雰囲気です。朝食はビュッフェではなく普通のセットメニューですが十分な内容。立地はメディナ内ですが車が入れる場所から徒歩5分、ブージュルード門までも10分程度なので便利な場所だと思います。リヤド近くの門を出て右に曲がったところにATMあります。
