Very Disappointing Place
Posted 12 Feb 2023 on HotelsI 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.

Dear Madam ,We are happy that you noticed all the efforts our staff is doing daily to make sure our guests have the best experience at riad Zyo.We truly regret that your short one-night stay in our riad did not meet your expectations.We fully understand that the design of the room did not suit you but this is of course completely subjective, the majority of interior designers and architects staying with us from all over the world give us a positive feedback regarding the design.We work hard on the maintenance of the riad and the refurbishment of this specific bathroom is already planned for next month.We remember that your husband told us on your arrival that you were sick and for that reason he requested a late check-out that we accept complementary.So we think that our food has nothing to do with your poisoning.We monitor the food service very carefully.

Nice place
Posted 16 Jul 2017 on HotelsThe 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.

Nice contemporary Riad within a bustling Medina
Posted 28 May 2017
Pros: There was a wonderful roof garden which was very well kept -an oasis of calm. In fact the whole hotel felt like that. It was well situated.
Cons: Nothing more.
Location: The Riyad was situated at one end of the bazaar and 10 minutes walk at the other end was the kasbah oudaias and the Andalusian gardens-a must see!
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights at riad zyo. The staff were polite and very helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was a delight . The hotel was spotless and the rooms were cleaned daily.

Lovely stay, fantastic breakfast
Posted 11 Mar 2017 on HotelsThe 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.

Great Place to Stay in Rabat
Posted 3 Dec 2016
Pros: Clean, well-lit, good wifi, good breakfasts
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
Posted 8 Nov 2016 on HotelsThe 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!
