I spent a week at Riad Ines-Palace in October 2010 and was more than happy with my stay there. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the surroundings were relaxing and best of all, the food was delicious. I was made to feel very welcome by the manager Aisha and her staff who were all very friendly & helpful, despite my lack of French! The design and decor of Ines-Palace is traditional & authentic Moroccan. To be honest, I usually stay in hotels but found the ambience of this Riad, with its intricate mosaic tiles, pillars, apricot trees, grand doors and rustic style, to be calming & peaceful. Furthermore, the food was actually better at here than any of the other restaurants I tried in Meknes! All-in-all I would be happy to recommend Ines-Palace to other travellers.

“Tranquillo e confortevole soggiorno”

Il Riad dà un'impressione molto grande con una camera da pranzo enorme pasto (che non abbiamo avuto il tempo di provare) ma le camere individuali sono accoglienti e comodamente arredate.

Il Riad dà un'impressione molto grande con una camera da pranzo enorme pasto (che non abbiamo avuto il tempo di provare) ma le camere individuali sono accoglienti e comodamente arredate. Ci siamo fermati qui dopo una giornata 3 impongono quindi di montagna era un letto di benvenuto con personale disponibile e bella doccia calda! Era molto tranquilla - forse non è il posto per venire a festa ma era solo la pace e tranquillità eravamo dopo. In una posizione ottima per i taxi/alzo taxi e medina principale e molto facile raggiungere la stazione principale per Fes ecc. L'unico lato negativo era la mancanza di una porta del bagno che ha reso le cose un po' familiare!

“Good, mid-range Riad”

The Riad is right in the medina, so it's very hard to find. Fortunately, the locals are friendly and helpful although in Meknes not a lot of English is spoken.

The Riad is right in the medina, so it's very hard to find. Fortunately, the locals are friendly and helpful although in Meknes not a lot of English is spoken. We stayed 4 nights to give us a chance to explore Meknes - not many tourists visit as Fes is only an hour or so away. It was great to have a hassle-free time compared with Marrakech and to a lesser extent, Fes. The Riad is quite nice - big internal courtyard with fountain and beautifully hand crafted tiled floors and walls. Food is traditional and excellent, so take an evening meal or lunch there. Breakfasts are big but mainly piles of different sorts of bread and jam - thats' Morocco! Now to the quirky stuff. The owner is a highly excitable (to say the least) mature-aged French woman who speaks no English whatsoever, and our French is very basic high school stuff. But she has a heart of gold. When we arrived, completely exhausted, hungry and drenched in perspiration from the heat she raced around like a whirling dervish and within minutes had produced ice-cold water and whipped up several plates of different traditional fresh Moroccan salads - delicious. There are perhaps 4 or 5 rooms in the riad for guests plus two on the roof. We were ensconced in a roof room. These are definitely bizarre. They are like two small brick sheds, each consisting of a bedroom and a small bathroom with terracota internal walls. It was like showering in an earthern-ware flower pot! However, the bed was comfy, the room decorated in Moroccan style, the air con worked, water was hot, and satellite TV with a couple of English channels helped keep up with world news. We had our laundry washed and ironed (a luxury for us) in-house at a modest price. In fact, the owner set up the ironing board and ironed our clothes in the dining room whilst trying to converse with us in French at full-speed as we were having lunch one day! Actually, it was a good experience and being in the medina it's easy to walk to the main square, souks, museums and historic sites. Beware of the medina, it's not that large but we were constantly lost and walked for miles. No worries, you just head for the edge and get a taxi back.
