Riad Yasmine

Riad Yasmine sits on Derb Sidi Ahmed Ou Moussa in the heart of the Medina, within walking distance of the Bahia Palace and roughly a 15-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa through the souks. The eight-room riad takes a traditional courtyard house and gives it a colourful, contemporary refresh, with bold tilework and painted doors replacing the more subdued palette common in older riads nearby. Rooms are split across Standard, Superior, and Suite categories, each individually decorated, arranged around a central courtyard pool that serves as the riad's main gathering space. There's no full restaurant, but breakfast is included and served either in the courtyard or on the rooftop terrace, which is also used for evening drinks and sunset views over the Medina. Wellness facilities are limited to the courtyard pool and a small garden area rather than a spa or hammam, keeping the property firmly in the boutique riad category rather than resort territory. Service is warm and personal given the small room count, with staff arranging airport transfers, restaurant bookings, and Medina walks, making it a good mid-range base for travelers who want a central Medina location without palace-hotel pricing. Each room takes a different colour scheme and set of tile patterns, so no two look alike, and the small footprint means the courtyard pool and terrace double as the main social spaces where guests naturally cross paths over breakfast or evening drinks.
