Guest reviews for Riad Monceau
"Good breakfast,though same “continental” type with no variation during week long stay. Did request yoghurt on second breakfast to have with sliced fruit cup which they graciously added & provided at no extra charge. Would have also been good to have choice of egg dish occasionally. Staff was so courteous & went the extra mile to ensure enjoyably comfortable stay. One of Mgrs came to me after 3 nights with welcome surprise of upgrading my room for remaining 4 nights: amazing suite which I so enjoyed! Another Mgr made sure I got best excursion & transport advice, etc. Stay could not have been better! Would recommend it to everyone as outstanding!!"
"Nothing really except breakfast addition suggestions."
"The location was fantastic. It was near the Medina down a little alley way. The staff was extremely helpful and went out of their way to make everything about our stay wonderful. The food was phenomenal and the entertainment was really fun. They have created a great environment to be in!"

"The riad is fantastic. Location excellent, stuff friendly, room big and clean."
"The jazz live music that plays in the restaurant was very loud in our room during the night."
"I enjoyed our room and little balcony where we sat and had dinner while listening to music . Very special . Our dinners and breakfast were wonderful. All 3 breakfasts we had Muhammad as our waiter and he was wonderful . The best waiter of our 2 week trip in Morocco. Our 2 hour spa was incredible! It was great having a refrigerator in our room , the first in our entire trip . Enjoyed the music and found the food very good and reasonably priced."
"Water pressure wasn’t the best for showering or hot water . One night there was alot of noise from the upstairs rooftop."
"Staff , food , spa , wine , location , space location of our room"
"Water pressure and temperature, and smoke ( cigarettes and cigars) noise above our room one night"
"The building was gorgeous! The small attention to detail was impressive."
"Nothing!"
"Friendly staff. So helpful. Beautiful building. Loved the live music. Delicious breakfast. Very quiet in the evening after music has finished. Very well organised and run."
"Nothing but if you don’t like live music this is not for you."
"Where do I start? I suppose a one liner would suffice – What an incredible stay MADE INCREDIBLE by the superb front of house manager Chaymae. I’ve travelled to 198 countries; stayed in accommodation ranging from basic to delightfully fancy. What makes us return to places like this? Is the consistently fabulous treatment and going the extra mile by someone as professional, courteous and downright charming as Chaymae. The hotel is a hidden gem; the food tremendous and the jazz nights transport you into old Morocco. Go."

"Beautiful authentic character property. Extremely helpful staff. Loved the evening vibe with live jazz. Location was perfect for strolling around the souks, visiting the main square and many of the tourist attractions."
"The door to our room opened out straight onto diners eating of an evening. We were ok with this but it was unusual and wouldn’t work for everyone."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

"Quiet location, garbage to store the bicycles. Shared bathroom was clean and close to the room, which had its own sink. Good hot shower. Friendly owners."
Casey Hotel Imilchil
"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"
Samer Le Gite du Barrage
"I had a wonderful experience in the desert. I stayed in a bivouac room, which was beautiful and comfortable in the middle of nature. Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."

"We really enjoyed our stay at “Kasbah du Bout”. The host was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. The Kasbah was very clean and well kept. We experienced a relaxing atmosphere and stay. We recommend staying here when visiting Zagora. Fred K. United States."
"Amazing camp accessible by car. We only had front-wheel drive Dacia, so it was a bit difficult to get there. If you go, lease a 4x4 for sure. We only wanted a day trip on camels, so we arrived by car. There are many camps that you can visit on a multi-day trip on camels deeper in the desert, however, if you only want a day trip on camels and have car, this is a must-visit. Personnel superb, food superb Bathroom facilities better than most hotels, in the tent (available outside of tent as well - they have public bathrooms) They booked a day trip on camels. We wanted to try this limited version before going on a multiple day trip on camels. I suggest telling them that you don't want to spend 4h on the lunch break. It's too long. 2h of break is enough. You go about 2h on camels' backs and then back after lunch. This camp was top 2 experiences we had in morocco. If you want larger and more iconic sand dunes, visit Merzouga. The dunes here are small, yet beautiful"
