Travel + Leisure "Book the Riad, a suite with a garden, pool, and outdoor pavilion that's more private villa than hotel room." Full review
Star Service "This undervalued but exceptional Berber-style palace is a winner." Full review
Afar Magazine "Each of the hotel’s five guest riads (typical Moroccan houses) comes with a private garden and heated pool." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A decadent destination hotel combining the va-va-voom French styling of famed architect Jacques Garcia with a Henri Chenot spa." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Cavernous rooms eschew full-on casbah style for subtle hints of colour, Zellige tiles and Mousharabi panels. Spoil yourself in the Henri Chenot spa, dip into the 80sq m swimming pool." Full review

Concierge "A ten-minute walk from the Medina's central square, Riyad El Cadi is made up of seven traditional houses."

Rough Guide "The former home of a German diplomat who was ambassador to several Arab countries, the El Cadi is embellished with his wonderful collection of rugs and antiques."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
