“Unimpressed”

Riad Zinoun

Feb 5, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

What can I say, except don't do it!

On the positive side, the staff were friendly. Jouad in particular spoke very good English and was very polite and accommodating. It also enjoyed a good location close to the square.

The negatives were that the place was drab, not particularly clean, freezing cold and a bit depressing! The breakfasts were adequate (bread, butter, jam, fresh squeezed juice and tea/coffee), and were taken in the courtyard. The ground floor rooms could be very noisy and none of the rooms locked.

Basically it was very overpriced for what it was, and you could find something of the same standard much cheaper and still close to the square.

I would not stay there again.

“Fantastic!!”

Riad Zinoun is a fantastic place only minutes away from the Place Jemaa El Fna and the famous Marrakech souks. The Riad is very comfortable,all guestrooms are nicely decorated and the bathrooms and bedrooms are very clean.
Breakfast is great and is served in the center patio.
The owners Said and Michele extend a very warm welcoming to their guests. They are very polite and helpful and will assist with organizing day trips to the surrounding Atlas Mountains.
This was my third stay in the riad and I am looking forward to many returns.

“riad zinoun”

Riad Zinoun

Dec 20, 2006

This is a very nice place to stay, close to the Jamaa El Fna square. But the Riad is always quiet, and the people are really nice. The rooms are huge and cosy and the terrase is very enjoyable. Nevertheless, the prices are really expensive, and the "standing" is not as high as we could expect with such prices.

“Warm welcome at Riad Zinoun”

We arrived at Riad Zinoun by accident as a booking somewhere else went wrong. Which was just as well because we couldn't have found it ourselves and we got a wonderful warm welcome. The rooms are lovely. All decorated differently. And the breakfasts were great. We felt at home there and we'll be going back.

“Disappointed..”

Riad Zinoun

Dec 9, 2006
2/4 found this review helpful

I have to start this review with a positive...Karima, the host at this Riad, is a very friendly, polite and nice person. I wouldn't want my review to reflect on her, as that wouldn't be fair. However, this review is about the riad, so here we go.
Primarily, my advice is to stay away. Book yourself into a similarly priced 5 star outside the medina. Once upon a time, maybe 3 0r 4 years ago, this damp, smelly, crumbling old house might have been refurbished to a nice standard, but let me assure you, those days are long gone.
All of the rooms (I looked at them all!), open out directly onto the main room of the house with no privacy. They are damp, tired, noisy and dirty. The floors hadn't been mopped for weeks, the toilets were filthy, and our bed linen had not been changed from previous guests.
There is no way to lock the room when you go out, and no place to store valuables. Breakfast was OK, bread and jam.
Don't get me wrong, I am well travelled, and have stayed in some truly horrid rooms, but I haven't had to pay 89 euros for the priviledge!!!! I'd value these rooms at 20 euros MAX!!
We could have stayed at the Meridien for the same price....
All in all a rotten stay in a rotten city. Stay away!
