Riad Zyo
A courtyard-pool riad among the medina's closest derbs
About this stay
Riad Zyo sits among the derbs closest to the Kasbah des Oudayas, close enough that the ramparts overlooking the Bou Regreg estuary are a short walk from the courtyard door. The pool sits inside that courtyard, giving guests a shaded dip between visits to the medina's souks rather than a rooftop exposed to the sun all day. Free breakfast and a restaurant cover meals without a search through the derbs, useful on quieter evenings. Air conditioning and airport shuttle service round out a stay built around the medina's rhythm rather than resort-style amenities.

Our take
Riad Zyo is a three-star riad in Rabat's medina near the Kasbah des Oudayas, with a courtyard pool, free breakfast, a restaurant, air-conditioning and an airport shuttle. Its guest score of 9.6 from 334 reviews is outstanding. I would book it for travelers who want to explore the old town and the Oudayas on foot. Those with heavy luggage should note that the riad is reached on foot from parking outside the walls.
- Call ahead so a host can meet you near the Kasbah des Oudayas, since no car reaches this riad's courtyard door.
- Book a courtyard-facing room if the pool matters to your stay, since some rooms face the derb instead.
- Eat breakfast on site before the medina souks get busy, since the free breakfast saves an early search for a cafe.
Why we love it

Why guests love itI would book Riad Zyo for families who want to sleep inside Rabat's medina, close to the Kasbah des Oudayas. A courtyard pool gives children a swim between walks through the old town, rooms are air-conditioned and breakfast is included. The restaurant covers dinner and an airport shuttle eases arrival. Parents should know that the last stretch is on foot from the nearest parking outside the walls, so pack light. A guest score of 9.6 from 334 reviews is outstanding.
