Palais Didi

Excellent location, fantastic breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, very good dinners.

Stayed here with my family over a weekend and had a wonderful experience, the place is very clean and the service was great, this a beautiful Riad that I recommend to everyone passing by Meknes city as it shows how beautiful old arabic architecture is, the tile work and sculpting is beautiful. The food we had was excellent 👍👍

Nice Riad, but complete with the issues you might expect retrofitting electricity, water & sewer to a historic building. Our room was on the pool level, really the main roof area. We had a nice ensuite. There was however a power interruption that required an electrician be called. Fortunately it was corrected by the time we returned from dinner(except for the fridge). There is no elevator and the stairs are a little uneven in places.
There is a second terrace another stair up which gave a wonderful view across the city at sunset, when the Storks came home to roost.
Call to prayer is before dawn & some confused cock started crowing 2 hours earlier, just loud enough to arouse a jet-lagged traveller. Mattress is Moroccan standard hard & pillows are very firm. I travel with a "sheepskin"(cut from auto seat cover) & squash able memory foam pillow.
While wifi is OK $7 CAD will get you a SIM card & 30 days cellular 5GB or 5Go in French, much better.

I had a room on the top floor which had about 10 steps up to the bathroom, then another 10 steps up to the bedroom - not recommended if you have mobility issues.  Some members of my group were lucky enough to get the large ground floor rooms which were really lovely.  They are around a central courtyard which didn't seem to get too noisy, as it is a small riad.  Breakfast was nice and the service was excellent at breakfast.

Good little riad

Week-end in Meknes

Greeted quite unfriendly by staff asking to see our booking and whether or not we had paid already. 

No Wi-Fi in room. 

Air conditioning does not work. 

Toilet leaking all over floor and 
belongings. 

State of bath/shower terrible. 

TV not connected.

Swimming pool non functional. 

No extra power points.

Room lighting poor. 

Certainly not 3.5 stars. 

Paid for 2 nights in advance/leaving after 1 night. 

4 extensive trips throughout Morocco and by far the worst value for money.

Booked through Hotel.com will not use them again. 

We have used Booking.com for years and years with no problems. Just booked another Riad in Meknes for tomorrow.

Not what you expect.

I am not even sure what did go wrong (Maybe we got spoiled during our month in Morocco while staying in some amazing riads, maybe we made mistake trusting "le routard guide" and not doing research before coming, maye it was just ad day for all hotel stuff) but unfortunately this was our worst stay in Morocco. 
Everything starting from our check-in felt rushed and not organized.
Oh, and speaking about tea - we were not offered any, not even for 5 dollars :) (reference to one of previous reviews). Call me picky, but after traveling in Morocco for a moth and being offered tea every time when checking-in at new place, you kinda get used to it. 

Many small details like that, price of room quite hight (it was off season), staff not caring about us at all, made us leave a day earlier. 
Ironic, because the main thing we read about Meknes was how friendly people are.
