It was lovely hidden place in medina.
Loved modern Riad style interior and courtyard. Staff were very nice.
The water pressure for bath was low ? and very slow to fill the hot tub…
The breakfast was really nice.

The space is beautiful both ancient and modern at the same time. We had the family room which worked pretty well for us. One bed is a loft so you need to be comfortable with stairs. The staff helped us get laundry done which unfortunately was pricey and slow but not the hotel’s fault. Breakfast was good, the location was fine, staff woke up early at 4 to see us off and arranged a driver.
Overall, a good place to stay in Rabat!

The Riad is well located inside the medina, about 3 blocks from Bab Chellah. Room was clean and breakfast was basic traditional moroccan with fruit, bread, juice. It's not fancy, but the value/price relationship is very good.

Loved this riad. Within city walls (so have to walk a little, cars not allowed inside city walls) but was able to get someone to help with bags near taxi stand. Room we were in was spacious, clean with comfortable furniture and little outside space. Breakfast was included and excellent. Location was perfect.

Lovely property near to everything. Excellent staff and a big thanks to Anna the receptionist, hope the spelling of her name was correct, she was awesome and made our visit even better. Thank you! One area that could be improved on is with the room anmenties the drapes in our room covering the door, sink taps need replacement and the toilet needs looking at as it leaked off and on. Other wise a very nice property with a great meet and greet receptionist. Breakfast was awesome,

This hotel is unique in many respects!! It’s situated in the heart of the old city and surrounded by the market place. The hotel itself is beautifully created with old apartments with marble floors and modern designs, yet leaving the feel of its 60’s era. It is far from a typical hotel that brings the Moroccan culture to anyone looking to add a memorable experience to a getaway or vacation. Rooms are clean! Beds are comfortable. And the staff is soft spoken and caring. The only improvement needed is better lighting in the courtyard at night. This hotel deserves 5 Star ratings in its own respect!

The Riad El Maati is traditional and yet modern and functional inside the room. It’s an easy 20 min walk from the train station. It has electrical outlets in the right places, plenty of wardrobe shelves, and built-in wall heaters. The terrace deck is stunning too. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating, such as for extra blanket. Flexibility with breakfast schedule on departure day. A few improvements could be a bath mat as the shower has no doors on 2 sides so the surrounding floor will always get wet. Google map direction to the Riad is incorrect but luckily we were able to find it on our own

Clean room but service can be better
The package comes with breakfast and they asked me what time I would like to have breakfast, i told them 8am. They said ok. When i woke up, no one was at the kitchen preparing the breakfast. I had to forgo the breakfast as i have a train to catch at 927am.
Else the room is nice and clean.

Located in central location in medina. This is really a nice riad with excellent hosts. Breakfast is home prepared and hot. The room will transport you back in time but still has all the modern comfort. We stayed after this is Chefchaouen and Fes but this really set the tone.
