A beautiful Riad to say the least. They have a great breakfast buffet in the mornings. The rooftop terrace is breaktaking. Staff are friendly and always ready to help. The pool is well maintained. The location is hard to find but worth the experience as it’s not far from the entrance to the souks. The Riad is perfectly located - close to the Medina and souks.

We had a great visit to Riad Africa. The hotel is well situated in the souq, but at the same time just down a little quiet side street. The hotel is beautiful inside and looks like the pictures. It was quiet and tranquil and the rooftop terrace was lovely, particularly for breakfast and at sunset. Our room was very nice, right by a smaller pool than the one in the photos, with a double bed and a single bed, and good air conditioning. The beds were really comfortable, we both slept very well, and there were plenty of power sockets for us. The bathroom wasn't huge but perfectly adequate with a nice quite powerful shower. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. My son was delighted at how good the Wifi was. The hotel sells some drinks - water, soft drinks etc - and there is a small shop just where the lanes from the hotel meet the main souq. There is a taxi rank about a five minute walk away. For our trip to Riad Africa from the airport, we arranged that the hotel picked us up so that we could be shown to the hotel, and that was really helpful. Once someone shows you the way once, it is really easy to find. Hoping to be back soon.

The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but extremely small, especially the bathroom. It was a very slim single bed with a hard mattress, and noise during the night from the power unit. The breakfast was fine, and location good (nearby the road and the main square). Also very good and fast service at check-in.
