Riad Mama H&K

Falsely advertising that parking is available, you are on your own. Your best bet is to park your car on the street about 200 m away and walk with your luggage. Breakfast is inferior (an overdose of sugar) not well prepared coffee. No eggs, no fruits. On the third day of our stay, we waited for breakfast for more than 90 minutes. No body was in the hotel to serve breakfast. Nobody was in the hotel, period. I called the owner 3 times, he did not even pick up the phone. Sent him an email, not even an apology. We were left without coffee, tea or breakfast. Options in the neighborhood were not that great. It doesn’t get any worse. As you exit the Riad, you walk into a smelly ally. Upon returning into the Riad, you will have to keep knocking until someone inside hears you and open the door, often that is done by children. No cold water. Lighting in room is not comfortable. A bit noisy room. Facility has a good WiFi. In room only, no WiFi in breakfast area. Furniture is broken. I was encouraged to go to the terrace to find piles of old furniture and not a place to sit or relax. It looks like the property is taken care by only one person: he cooks, serves food, cleans dishes, cleans rooms, cleans bathrooms, carry your luggage, … Overworked. No trash bins in rooms, no safe, no fridge.

This place was so lovely. The salon and room were so ornate, you could tell a lot of the finishes were original and it was one of the loveliest beds I’ve ever slept in. The host gave us a great map of Meknes, a perfect restaurant location (go to Aisha!) and shared the family story of living in the Riad for generations.
