Overview
Most riads turn inwards, with windows facing the courtyard and blank walls to the street. Riad Tendance is a little different: according to the property, every room has a private balcony with a view over the city, so you get your own spot to watch the rooftops and listen to the Medina wake up.
Beyond the balconies, the guest house is described in general terms, with traditional Moroccan architecture and handcrafted details. Facilities such as breakfast, air-conditioning or a shared terrace aren't spelled out, so compare the room descriptions when you look at prices.
Highlights
- A private balcony with city views in every room
- Close to Jemaa el-Fna
- Traditional Moroccan architecture and craftsmanship
- Souks and historic landmarks nearby
Location
The listing puts the riad near Jemaa el-Fna in the centre of the Medina. That's the most convenient part of the old city for a first trip: the square, the Koutoubia Mosque and the main souk lanes are all on foot. No street address is published, so use the map on this page.
Good to know
- Rooms facing outwards can pick up more street sound than courtyard rooms, especially near the square in the evening.
- Arrange directions or a meeting point with the hosts, as taxis can't usually reach Medina doorsteps.
