Brighter, sunnier, somehow friendlier than the average riad hotel — maybe it’s the owners, a couple of designers, one Dutch and the other Spanish, but for whatever reason, Ryad Dyor stands out. The medina location and the inside-out riad design mean it’s as private as any, but where many go dark and heavy, this one goes for graphic and sun-drenched, a look that’s probably more accessible than the traditional riad hotel.
It’s actually two houses back to back, which means that with just seven rooms there’s no shortage of space. The courtyard plunge pool is a nice surprise, and the rooftop terrace is the ideal spot for lounging under the stars. And inside the rooms, that plentiful sunlight falls on an eclectic collection of furnishings, artworks and antiques — by no means is it strictly Moroccan, but incorporates elements from Europe to the far East.
There’s a small hammam, for massage and minimal spa treatments, and plenty of lounge space, aside from just the rooftop — even the rooms and suites, spacious as they are, invite guests to stay in. Plan ahead if you’d like lunch or dinner in — there’s no restaurant, strictly speaking, but the riad is happy to save you the trouble of venturing forth into the medina.

What I liked:
Hicham, Ibrahim and the ladies who cook were all awesome -- polite, kind, helpful and accommodating. Our suite was incredibly beautiful and comfortable -- two separate seating areas, both comfy and cozy, with carved stucco, painted wood and tiled Arabic architectural details on the walls and ceiling that we were seeing at the mosques and other landmarks around town -- to have those in our room was wonderful.
Hicham and Ibrahim also very helpful with arranging tour guides, dinner reservations, and also porters to get us and our luggage in and out of the medina easily.
What the hotel could do better:
The hot water didn't work in our room on 2 occasions out of 4 days -- was disappointing to have a deep soaking bathtub but not be able to use it. However we were invited to use another suite's hot water.
The riad should consider providing maps with simple directions to the major points of interest and back to the riad. We were very concerned about getting lost in the medina. For us, new to Morocco, this was a deterrent to setting foot outside. That being said, spending a couple of days relaxing on the terrace and getting hammam scrubs was lovely.
