When visiting Meknès, the Riad Yacout is a good option for staying overnight. It is not only located directly between the mausoleum of Moulay Ismaïl and the Medina, it is also close to the Bab Mansour city gate and the place Lahdim. Furthermore its entrance is facing the Place Lalla Aouda, a large parking area that can be easily reached by taxi from the train station. What I absolutely enjoyed is the amazing roof terrace of the Riad, giving you great views on the city and the minaret of the mosque being part of the mausoleum.
Inside the Riad is also very beautiful with lovely decorations in the guest rooms that are named after family members of the family of the owner. All sights of the smallest of the four villes impériales can be easily reached on foot. On the Place Lalla Aouda you can find a small kiosk for the essentials, the place Lahdim for shopping opportunities is close and you’ll find some eateries in the surrounding streets. For good restaurants you need to walk a little bit deeper into the Medina.
