This place was in a fantastic location! The porter met us and our driver at the parking lot to help with our bags. The staff was lovely and the breakfast was by far the best we had during our entire stay in Morocco.

The decor was lovely and authentic, the food was very good, staff were very friendly, helpful and hospitable. The room was clean but bathroom tile around shower needs regrouting and floors were lethal when wet. It was very noisy at night but due to be expected in the Medina However, we really enjoyed our stay there. Glass elevator was a great touch.

Great Experience
Stayed the first and last night(s) in Morocco. Excellent focus on hospitality. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I've experienced and the first floor restaurant was fantastic.
Would stay again.

Lovely place in the heart of Tangier, great staff
Lovely place in the heart of the old town/medina. We also booked the driver to pick us up from Tangier Med (which is much further than the port/marina in Tangier itself and it was great and the driver really good and friendly but just be aware of the distance). Staff amazing, helpful and friendly and the restaurant lovely. When we arrived, we sat in a lovely little seating area and were given tea.

It was an older property centrally located in the older walled city. It could use some upgrades but the staff was very attentive. We went on a couple tours with Lina that I would highly recommend. Walking tour of the old town and a driving tour of the surrounding areas. I would also recommend the restaurant which provided live music with traditional stringed instrument

Small rooms as I think most Riads must be. Our room was overlooking the street so it was quite noisy. The restaurant was excellent and the staff was most helpful. A lot of money for what you get, but that also be normal. I would not stay there again because I prefer a hotel over a Riad. Live and learn!!

Palais Zahia had a hammam which we used for a scrub & a massage it was excellent. The property is easily located & in front of a busy street. Our room was front facing & the bustle of the streets during the day made for fun photos and videos but it continued into the night so if you’re a light sleeper, make sure you get a back facing room. The food here was also amazing, the lamb mrouzia was one of our best meals. I would easily come back here to stay & this time have some drinks on the patio above which is great for people watching. The staff were incredibly kind & friendly & helpful.

We took a ferry from Spain and upon check in at Palais Zahia were invited to relax in the dining area with tea and cookies. The hotel is located among all the shops and restaurants so everything is close, although be prepared for a bit of walking. Breakfast offered quite a variety and we found the staff to be helpful. The air conditioner didn’t get the room as cool as I would have liked but it was comfortable
