Zoco Riad is a vibrantly and freshly decorated riad located smack in the middle of the Medina of Tangier. The tile and plaster work inside (especially along the stairwell) are splendorous and make one feel as if they’re entering a paradisiacal refuge from the bustling alleyways of the Medina.
In addition, the room I received was well decorated and suitable for up to 2 people. Bathroom is a bit small but certainly manageable! Loved the furnishings in the room as well (from the decorative headboard to the nightstand and side table).
Thirdly, there’s a lovely terrace on the 4th floor. You can take tea there or see the city come alive at sunset from that vantage point.
I also would be remiss if I didn’t praise one of the staff members who really made my stay special. Oussama warmly greeted me late Friday night once I navigated my way to the Riad. He shooed away the scammer harassing me and immediately offered 4 delicious deserts and some tea. I savored them, and an Excellent conversation followed.
The next day, I woke up too late to take breakfast before catching a tour, but Oussama still ensured I had something to eat before going on my way (dates and orange juice). And when I came back that night, he made me an excellent cup of coffee & we chatted for a long while.
Finally, on the last day, he prepareda hearty breakfast (best I had in Morocco) despite it being past noon.
His unmatched hospitality combined with the amazing ambiance of the Riad made it a near-perfect stay!
