The hype
Guests universally adore the staff and the peaceful atmosphere, often calling it a 'secret garden' amidst the chaos.
Riad Noga
$120-160/ noite
Reservar se You want a hushed, authentic Medina sanctuary where the staff treats you like family and the pool is actually warm enough to swim in.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- Solar-heated turquoise pool (a rarity in the Medina)
- Rooftop breakfast with homemade jams and Atlas Mountain views
- Incredibly attentive staff, particularly Mohamed and Aboula
Resumo Rápido: A dead-silent oasis that takes its 'quiet' policy seriously—don't book this if you plan to stumble in drunk at 2 AM.
Revisado por @riadlovers: I couldn't believe how quiet it was inside. Stepping through the archway into that lush courtyard felt like discovering a secret garden. The morning light hitting the zellige tiles while I had breakfast was the highlight of my trip. A true sanctuary in the Medina.

Reality check
Sound travels easily in the courtyard, so ground-floor rooms hear every breakfast conversation and late-night arrival.
- You value silence and sleep over a lively social scene
- You want a heated pool for shoulder-season swimming
- You prefer a small, intimate property (only 7 rooms) over a big hotel
Limpeza e Manutenção
9.2
- Housekeeping: Impeccable. Daily service is thorough, with guests consistently noting the 'sparkling' condition.
- Bathroom hygiene: Excellent. Bathrooms are traditional tadelakt (plaster) but well-maintained with no reports of mold.
- Maintenance: Very good. The property is older but kept in top shape; no peeling paint or broken fixtures reported.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though some guests find traditional wool blankets a bit heavy.
- Odors & scents: Smells of orange blossom and cedar, not mustiness or drains.

FAQ e dicas ocultas
Tudo o que você realmente quer saber antes de reservar.
Is there alcohol at Riad Noga?
No, they do not have a bar or alcohol license. You can usually bring your own to enjoy discreetly in your room.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, it has a solar heating system, making it swimmable even in cooler months (spring/autumn), which is a huge plus.
Can a taxi drop me off at the door?
Almost. It's one of the few Riads with car access very close by (about 200m away), so you won't have to drag luggage far.
Is there a hammam on site?
Sort of. They have a 'luxurious hammam-style' room with a large bathtub for treatments, but it is not a traditional hot steam room.
Is it safe at night?
Yes, the Derb Jdid Douar Graoua area is generally safe and quiet, but the alleyways are dark. Use the Riad's transfer for your first arrival.
Do they serve dinner?
Yes, but it must be ordered in advance (usually by morning). They serve traditional Tajines and salads.

5 coisas que deve saber antes de partir
💡The 'Hammam' is really just a nice treatment room with a big tub, not a steam bath.
💡The staff will literally shush you if you are loud in the courtyard after 10 PM.
💡The ground floor rooms have almost zero privacy if you leave your curtains/shutters open.
💡The solar heating for the pool is weather-dependent; a cloudy week means a cold pool.
💡Wifi is generally good but can be spotty inside the thick-walled rooms on the ground floor.
