Reviews of Riad Zara 3*
Unfortunately, our experience at Riad Zara was far below expectations, especially considering the very high price we paid.
The first issue is that the hotel is significantly more expensive than many similar or even better accommodations in the area, while offering very limited services and facilities.
On the first day, Mr. Fouad handed us the main entrance key and then left the property. There was no staff member available at the hotel besides the guests, and no one was there to assist if needed. Even our room did not have a proper lock and key, which felt very unsafe and unprofessional.
The room itself was not up to standard. There was no TV, no complimentary water, and overall the facilities were extremely basic and disappointing.
The area surrounding the hotel also felt dirty and unsafe, which made the stay even less comfortable.
Breakfast was extremely poor and very limited — there was not even cheese available. Additionally, when we tried to request something, communication was difficult because the staff member serving breakfast unfortunately could not speak English.
I also asked Mr. Fouad about local tours, and the prices offered were nearly double compared to what we found outside the hotel.
From the beginning, we wanted to leave the hotel due to these issues, but the situation was not handled professionally. Paying €250 for only one night in such conditions, with almost no proper facilities, felt completely unreasonable.
"I recently stayed at Riad Zara and it was truly the highlight of my trip. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredible. One team member in particular went above and beyond, helping me organize my entire stay and every single detail of my activities.
The property itself is stunning. The rooftop is absolutely beautiful and offers the perfect vibe for relaxing. I spent so much time by the swimming pool and loved the romantic courtyard—my room even had a private balcony which was a lovely touch.
The food at the restaurant was so delicious; every meal felt like a treat. One of the best parts was that they helped me book a hot air balloon excursion, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I highly recommend to anyone staying here!
Thank you to the wonderful staff for your hospitality and for making my stay so seamless. If you are looking for a place with great food, a beautiful atmosphere, and people who truly care about your experience, this is it! "

I would not recommend staying at this riad.
The location was extremely difficult to find. It is hidden down a maze of narrow alleyways with no signs and does not appear properly on maps. On arrival, you are simply expected to knock on an unmarked door at the end of an alley that was full of rubbish.
As an English women, we felt very uncomfortable walking to and from the riad. We were constantly approached by children and men offering directions, asking for money, or trying to engage us. The area did not feel safe, particularly as tourists, and there were no secure locks on the bedroom doors, only basic bolts.
The accommodation itself was very disappointing. There was no pool, no safe, no TV, no shower curtain, and the room showed signs of mould. The floors were dirty, the bed was uncomfortable, and overall cleanliness was well below what we expected.
Breakfast was also poor. We waited around 30 minutes to be served, the food did not seem fresh, and when I requested a coffee with milk, the milk never arrived. The terrace area was not appealing and did not match the impression given online.
Due to the location, cleanliness issues, lack of facilities, and concerns about safety, we decided to leave early and book another hotel. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing accommodation experiences we have had.
