A beautiful property located in the Medina but close to a main street for hailing a taxi. We were welcomed with tea and sweets at check-in and then enjoyed a lovely dinner at the riad. Breakfast included yogurt, eggs, breads with jam and butter, olives, juice and coffee. The staff was friendly, beds were comfortable (though pillows were very firm), and air conditioning was delightful! The second night there was a belly dancer during dinner which we were able to view from upstairs looking down into the courtyard. Would stay here again!

Great riad

The riad is very nice and easy to find. It offers you everything you need, the staff is very friendly and assist you with any issues. The breakfast and dinner are delicious and beautifully served. Among the extras I'd like to mention and warmly recommend the relaxing and professional hammam/massage experience in the riad (min 1 hour).

This property is amazing!!! A truly unique Moroccan experience with modern touches. The room was beautifully appointed and was breathtaking with tall ceilings and a private bathroom with the softest towels, towel warmer and high end toiletries. Luxury linens added to the comfort. Wonderful staff ensures your stay is perfect. Lovely breakfast where everything is made from scratch. Dinner reservations are recommended, as they had no availability during our stay. We did sneak a peek in the kitchen and the food looked glorious. Meticulously clean, and the rooftop deck and pool are stunning. Parking can be a challenge, and you do have to walk a bit through a maze of tiny streets, but absolutely worth it!

Just got back from here. We got a 2 room apartment across from the main building. It had a fully equipped kitchen (that we didn't use) too. The staff were friendly and efficient. The apartment was quiet, quaint and quirky and suited us fine but don't expect the same type of rooms as new build 4 star. Think this was built in 1815 and the apartment reflects this in style. Breakfast was basic but good. Generally we felt very safe in Rabat, the street vendors didn't harass us and the people were extremely friendly. A little bit of French language helps. We would return

It was a convenient place as it was walking distance to the beach area, castle and the souk (shopping areas). Different experience as it was in the old city (medina). Staff was very nice. Food was good. The breakfast was excellent. It was clean. Room was good. Parking was not very convenient. Had to wait a while to find parking in the public parking area where we had to pay daily parking. The shower area in the bathroom is a little aged, could do with an upgrade. Overall we enjoyed our stay there, would recommend to others.

Riads are tough to review. Parking is always horrendous - don’t believe them when they say “offsite parking available.” This is a cop out - you will be finding street parking and making a deal with a total stranger who could care less about the Riad. And they will try to scam you for a higher rate. This is well decorated and the staff is excellent. But the rooms are weirdly laid out. See some pictures. This includes floor level windows that open to the center courtyard etc. and uneven floors. Just know what you are getting into
