casablanca Riad

Country forums / Africa / Morocco

Hi fellow travellers,
I'm a middle aged woman travelling solo.
I'll be catching the train back from Marakesh to Casa and was looking for a small clean riad near the station. Is there such a thing or is that area pretty seedy.
Would be grateful for any guidance

There are no riads in Casablanca, actually. A riad is a traditional style of home found only in the medinas of a few cities (namely Fez, Meknes, and Marrakech).

The Hotel Terminus across from the train station in Casablanca is, from what I hear, clean enough. The area isn't that seedy, and is fairly safe because police remain near the train station all night.
