What guests think

Travellers describe Riad Yacout as a characterful, well-located riad near the Medina, with friendly, helpful staff, enjoyable breakfasts and dinners, easy nearby parking, and pleasant spaces like a rooftop terrace, a small pool, and a relaxing hammam.

Rooms are often beautiful and comfortable, though some note dated fittings, limited bathroom privacy, street or mosque noise, or heating and hot-water issues. Cleanliness feels mixed: several praise very clean spaces, while others mention sewer odors, occasional bugs, or hair found in rooms. Service is generally warm but inconsistent at times, with a few reports of unattended arrivals or poor orientation, and dining can be cash-only with bills not always chargeable to rooms. Expect a traditional stay with strong location and hospitality, plus a few quirks.

Je vous invite à pousser la porte de cet établissement à taille humaine. L’accueil est très chaleureux, la chambre modeste mais pour le prix vous en avez pour votre argent. L’endroit est calme, il y a un parking juste devant (20 dirhams la nuit) et la médina a quelques pas. Une petite piscine sur le toit, ainsi qu’un toit terrasse. Si vous venez à Meknes et que vous voulez un endroit typique, rendez-vous au Riad Yacout. Merci pour l’accueil.

Staff did not show us around the property when we checked into our room, we had to ask how to access the rooftop. There was also construction going on in the main floor and the water access in the room was turned off for a few hours which we were not warned about. The room was clean and breakfast in the morning was good.

The property is located on the side of the main road, easy drop off and pick up, did not feel welcome when we arrived, and staff was not present. The property should be a good choice for people who are looking for local style accommodation, absolutely can not be compared to real hotel, flies bugs everywhere, hair on the floor and blanket, overall, just for different experience. Breakfast only offer one boiled egg per person, plus few different kinds of bread, coffee was very disappointing.

The room was beautiful and comfortable, dinner on the rooftop was delicious and service impeccable. Close to the mosque so be prepared to wake up before sunrise to the sound of prayer calls, which we thought was a good thing to experience, culturally, but some people might be very upset about that.

Horrible. Arrivé sur place je ne trouve personne dans le Ryad je sonne personne répond, j’appelle personne répond, je perd espoir, je me dit où vais-je dormir? C’est là que le gardien du parking d’en face survient est me dit qu’il n’y a personne qui loge dans le Ryad et m’a proposé de m’amener dans un autre Ryad pour logé si je le souhaitai je lui expliqué que j’ai déjà payer la nuit ici et que c’est pas normal qu’il n’y est personne, finalement il a réussi à me débrouiller le numéro du gardien du Ryad Yacout qu’étais sympathique je lui explique ma situation il me dis faute qu’il n’y avais pas réservation les propriétaires l’on prier de rentrer chez lui ( et moi donc ???) finalement il a accepté de venir et m’ouvrir le Ryad mais il n’avait pas de moyen de locomotion donc j’ai dû aller le chercher moi-même chez lui de l’autre côté de la ville. Je n’est jamais vécu une expérience pareil faudrais vraiment se remettre en question

Great place, traditional moroccan rihad (house), great stuff and a 2min walk to the main square. They helped us organize a trip to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss with a great taxi driver (Mohammed, spoke only French and Arabic) that made us eat local food with him when we asked him. It was 2 of us and price was reasonable but can fill the car up with four people I believe.
