The staff at the Riad was incredibly welcoming and helpful. One person walked me to an atm 15 min each way. Hint: have plenty of cash (Moroccan dirham) for tips, cabs)

8/10 Very good

Lovely property near to everything. Excellent staff and a big thanks to Anna the receptionist, hope the spelling of her name was correct, she was awesome and made our visit even better. Thank you! One area that could be improved on is with the room anmenties the drapes in our room covering the door, sink taps need replacement and the toilet needs looking at as it leaked off and on. Other wise a very nice property with a great meet and greet receptionist. Breakfast was awesome,

2/10 Poor

Avoid this horrible place at all costs. This riad should be banned from Expedia. Pictures on Expedia do not show the realty of the place. hot tub does not exist, snacks and coffee bar does not exist even filtered water does not exist you can only buy bottled water at 2 times the price of the market, I understand that most Riads are old, but this place is falling apart, and the owner does not want to spend a penny to replace anything (see pictures below)Rooms are dirty mold in bathroom and rusted taps and broken furniture.Hot water for a shower does not exist at night unless you ask the reception to turn on the electrical heater. When asked they said we use solar system during the day but at night only by request to save energy!!!Owner is greedy and lies about additional fees. She wanted to charge city tax on children under 12 and any child over 5 years should pay this fee. in addition, she wanted to charge us more fees on our third child although it’s mentioned clearly that the apartment I booked sleeps 6 people without any extra charge unless we ask for extra beds or covers (which we did not) luckily we were able to confront her with her own policy on fees that she added on Expedia not to pay this scamEven when we tried to leave after our first night (we booked 2 nights) owner not only refused to reimburse us but also wanted to charge us taxes for both nights even if we stayed for one night.

10/10 Exceptional

The Riad is well located inside the medina, about 3 blocks from Bab Chellah. Room was clean and breakfast was basic traditional moroccan with fruit, bread, juice. It's not fancy, but the value/price relationship is very good.
Roberto Carlos, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Riad El Maati is traditional and yet modern and functional inside the room. It’s an easy 20 min walk from the train station. It has electrical outlets in the right places, plenty of wardrobe shelves, and built-in wall heaters. The terrace deck is stunning too. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating, such as for extra blanket. Flexibility with breakfast schedule on departure day. A few improvements could be a bath mat as the shower has no doors on 2 sides so the surrounding floor will always get wet. Google map direction to the Riad is incorrect but luckily we were able to find it on our own

Giuseppe, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

D’abord il aurait fallu préciser sur votre site que les voitures ne peuvent pas accéder à l’hôtel puisque dans la médina. Venant pour affaire avec 35 kgs de bagages , plus un kakemono, j’ai du marcher 15-20 minutes pour arriver à l’hôtel et en repartir: pas du tout adapté dans mon cas. L’hôtel se dit 4 stars mais peut être il y a 30 ans , pas aujourd’hui. Douche sommaire , peu de rangement, pas de tv, matelas pas confortable, déco très vielle. Seul point positif la gentillesse des personnes à la réception , une jeune femme et une autre très très serviables et gentilles.

This hotel is unique in many respects!! It’s situated in the heart of the old city and surrounded by the market place. The hotel itself is beautifully created with old apartments with marble floors and modern designs, yet leaving the feel of its 60’s era. It is far from a typical hotel that brings the Moroccan culture to anyone looking to add a memorable experience to a getaway or vacation. Rooms are clean! Beds are comfortable. And the staff is soft spoken and caring. The only improvement needed is better lighting in the courtyard at night. This hotel deserves 5 Star ratings in its own respect!
