The only place to stay in Rabat-Salé

Received and lovely welcome from the host and some tea. When I was shown my room, I was floored. It’s been the highlight of my trip to Morocco. Would 100% recommend the breakfast. So tasty and so much of it. Amazing rooftop views were the icing on the cake

It was one of the hotels I was most satisfied with the atmosphere so far. It had both a warm and authentic atmosphere. We thank Rita very much. She warmed us with her warm smile. We also liked the location of the hotel and the breakfast. I only wish they used a duvet instead of a blanket because I was allergic to dust. Excellent in terms of price performance.

The owner is very nice, but the beautiful room is very somber, the light is almost null. It was also very cold in the room and the little heating she provided was not enough. The bathroom is tiny and so dark it is impossible to put any make up on!

De Riad is prachtig ingericht, een klein paleisje in de Medina van Rabat Sale. Hele vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaren. Uitgebreid en vers ontbijt op het dakterras. Alle kamers zijn in authentieke Marokkaanse stijl. In de buurt zitten wat winkeltjes, en de moderne tramverbinding is 10 min. lopen. Het strand is op loopafstand.

L'ambiance marocaine est authentique dans ce riad, très agréable et richement décoré ! L'accueil de Rita est exceptionnel, elle s'adapte selon vos besoins, elle est très souriante et à un coeur en or. La terrasse est magnifique, avec une vue à couper le souffle sur la citadelle de Rabat et l'océan à deux pas, Coucher de soleil garanti tout les soirs ! Riad au calme, les chambres vraiment très belles, décorées avec soin, vraiment un séjour au top je recommande vivement ! A 5 min à pied, vous traversez en barque pour vous rendre au centre de la médina de Rabat pour 2,5 MDA...Parfait et original ! On a adoré...

Sehr schöne Riad in der Nähe von Rabat. Ein Strand ist sehr nah zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Haus und das Zimmer sind sehr dunkel, jedoch ist die Dachterrasse wunderschön und groß. Wir haben ein traditionelles Abendessen auf der Dachterrasse genossen. Das Personal ist super freundlich, Stéphane ist großzügig und aufgeschlossen. Wer eine schöne, persönliche Unterkunft in der Nähe von Rabat sucht, ist hier perfekt aufgehoben.

J'ai passé deux nuits merveilleuses. L'endroit était assez calme et la chambre était magnifique. Il y a une terrasse à couper le souffle au top du riad et le service était impeccable. Il y a tout ce dont vous avez besoin à moins de 10 minutes de marche (marché, pharmacie, resto, café, etc.) Si vous désirez vous rendre à la tour Hassan et au Mausolée c'est à moins de 40 minutes de marche. Merci à Stéphane et Rita pour l'accueil, j'ai adoré mon expérience.

The riad is average , with a nice breakfast and cool terrace. However the problem was with the staff at check out. It was the last day of our stay and they did not remember ya the taxes you have to pay at check out. They did not accept credit card, nor euro, they have no change, and when promptly asked to find the closest money change they insulted as and attacked us screaming loud. I will send the amount via paypal but is not recommended.

Never again! Overpriced! Rooms need renovations. Arrogant owner, was even not able to prepare us a simple cup of coffee for breakfast the first day. We were planning not have breakfast at the riad but plans have got changed. When I asked him if we could get some breakfast, he reacted angry and walked away. Well we had a nice breakfast outdoors, way better then in the riad. Lady who served breakfast the other days was friendly.
