The hype
Guests feel like they are staying with family rather than a hotel, citing the owners' helpfulness as the main reason to return.
Riad Miral
$95-160/ noite
Reservar se You want a spotless, high-touch 'soft landing' in the Medina with a host (Monica) who acts like your personal travel fixer.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- Monica and Hicham's legendary hospitality (maps, tips, tea on arrival)
- Sparkling cleanliness that reviewers obsess over
- Location: deep in the souks but just 5 minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa
Resumo Rápido: A pristine, family-run sanctuary that trades a swimming pool for exceptional service and silence—until the call to prayer or courtyard chatter starts.
Revisado por @riadlovers: Staying here felt like living in a piece of art. The hand-carved ceilings are unreal, and the rooftop terrace was my absolute favorite spot to unwind after exploring the souks. It’s quiet, stunning, and feels incredibly authentic.

Reality check
Finding it the first time is a nightmare without the arranged transfer; the alleyways are a maze.

- You value hygiene over resort amenities
- You want a host who will book your dinner and guide you to the ATM
Limpeza e Manutenção

- Housekeeping: Daily, meticulous cleaning. Guests frequently use the word 'spotless'.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate tile work. No mold reported, but drain odors can occur if stoppers aren't used.
- Maintenance: Recently renovated (2018), so paint and fixtures are fresh. No 'peeling' or 'worn' complaints.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and replaced daily. High quality for the price point.
- Odors & scents: Smells of amber and orange blossom in the lobby; occasional sewer whiff in bathrooms if drains are left open.

FAQ e dicas ocultas
Tudo o que você realmente quer saber antes de reservar.
Is there a pool at Riad Miral?
No. They have a partnership with a nearby hotel where you can pay €20-40 for a day pass (includes lunch/drink), but there is no pool on the property.
Can I get dropped off by taxi at the door?
No. The Riad is in a pedestrian-only alley. Taxis drop you at 'Place des Ferblantiers' or the 'Riad Zitoune Jdid' parking, and you walk 3-5 minutes.
Do they serve alcohol?
Yes, they have a license for wine and beer, which you can enjoy on the rooftop terrace.
Is it safe to walk back at night?
Yes, the Riad Zitoun El Jedid area is busy and well-lit, but the final alley turn can be dark. Use your phone flashlight and walk with purpose.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a generous Moroccan breakfast (pancakes, breads, jams, eggs) is included in the rate.
Are pets allowed?
Surprisingly, yes. They are pet-friendly at no extra charge, which is rare for Riads.
Dicas de Insiders

Ask Monica for her custom map—it's better than Google Maps for navigating the immediate souks.
- ✨
If you leave early for a tour, tell them the night before; they will arrange an early breakfast for you.
