Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Riad Sapphire & Spa is often described as a beautiful oasis, perfectly situated in the heart of the Medina, making it walkable to Jemaa el-Fnaa square, Bahia Palace and other historical destinations. Guests frequently praise the meticulously designed rooms blending traditional Moroccan decor with modern comfort, some also appreciate the on-site spa and comfortable rooftop terrace. The daily breakfast with fresh fruits, juices and Moroccan mint tea is usually a highlight, even offering vegan options; however, some guests have noted the location can feel a bit tucked away in small alleys. The dinners are wonderful, served in an artistic manner.

a decent stay with some issues

dark alleyscramped breakfast
I found a few things disappointing . the location was not ideal. it was tucked away in small, dark alleys. This, especially at night. also, the breakfast area felt a bit cramped. it was hard to relax with the rooms right around the tables.

the staff helped me find some great dinner spots close by.
I found some hairs in the bathroom upon arrival. the main issue was the noise. I could hear everything from other rooms, a real disruption. the breakfast area was also too close to the rooms making it hard to relax in the mornings.
