The hype
Beautifully decorated and perfectly located, but room quality varies drastically depending on which floor you're on.
Zwen Zwen Boutique Hotel Rooftop & Spa
$130-200 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want a photogenic, central Medina sanctuary that feels hidden but is just steps from the chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Incredible rooftop terrace with views of the Koutoubia Mosque
- Intimate, boutique vibe with only ~18 rooms
- Staff that treats you like family (often mentioned by name in reviews)
Stutt samantekt: A stunningly tiled oasis that nails the 'riad aesthetic' but struggles with soundproofing on the ground floor.
Farið yfir af @riadlovers: I completely fell in love with the tilework here—it's a photographer's dream. The courtyard is so peaceful for morning coffee, and the rooftop cocktails were the perfect end to my day. It felt like a total escape from the real world.

Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is the pool heated?
Technically yes, but frequently reported as 'cold' or unheated by guests. Don't count on a warm swim in winter.
Do they serve alcohol?
Mixed signals. There is a bar area, but guests have reported being refused wine. Best to assume 'dry' or bring your own if discreet.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (7:00 AM - 10:30 AM).
How far is Jemaa el-Fnaa?
Very close—about a 5-10 minute walk (approx. 300-500 meters).
Is there a gym?
No, there is no fitness center on-site.
Is it car-accessible?
No, it's in the Medina. You'll be dropped off at a nearby square (likely Riad Zitoun) and walk or take a cart.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The rooftop sunset view rivals the paid spots in the square—buy a mint tea and enjoy it there.
- ✨
Ask for 'Radir' or 'Brahim' if you need help; they are frequently praised for going above and beyond.
- ✨
The spa offers a hammam experience that is cheaper than luxury hotels but more approachable than public baths.
