My stay at Riad Yu Yu was quite a mixed bag. I appreciated the peaceful ambiance that felt like an oasis amidst the bustling city, making it an ideal spot especially as one of my companions fell ill. However, the mattress was quite old, affecting my comfort during the nights. Overall, I think it's a solid choice for its location and tranquility, particularly if you're looking to explore nearby attractions.

I stayed for four nights at Riad Yu Yu, and while the rooftop view was stunning, I faced some challenges. The dorm I was in felt somewhat precarious, especially with the top bunk, and could definitely use more safety features. The cleanliness was commendable, though I noticed that the aesthetics did not quite match the promotional photos.

Rooms

The 4-bed female dormitory had curtains for privacy, making it feel cozy, but the ladder to the top bunk was quite challenging.

I had an amazing stay at Riad Yu Yu! The staff, especially Hamza, really went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and nice. The location was perfect for exploring the medina, but it did get a bit chilly at night since it was an open roof Riad. Overall, very cozy and I highly recommend it for a good experience!
