    Didn't stay here long, but it was perfect for what I needed (a pit stop before an early flight). Although I was leaving before breakfast, they kindly left me some food to take away. Room was cozy and clean.

We are committed to using only natural materials, without any modern or industrial fixtures, to maintain the genuine spirit of the place. At Riad Cherif, we offer our guests an authentic experience that combines simplicity with elegance, far from the formal and polished atmosphere of typical hotels. Here, you live comfortably and neatly, just as the residents of the old city once did. Our meals are 100% traditional Moroccan dishes, prepared carefully and naturally, without any artificial additives, served fresh, light, healthy, and full of authentic flavors. Especially our dinner, which features the authentic Moroccan tajine. Any guest interested can join us for free special lessons to learn how to prepare tajine themselves. Breakfast is served in a quiet and beautiful courtyard next to a fresh water fountain, accompanied by the gentle songs of birds to enhance your relaxation. We also make sure to provide complimentary Moroccan tea and coffee throughout your stay, so you can fully enjoy the true Moroccan hospitality. We warmly welcome anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and sincere experience—far from the usual tourist style.
