    Absolutely fine for me but be aware that you will need to walk out of the medina if you want to use taxi or public transport, which will take you min 10 minutes.

    High-quality breakfast, prepared and served with attention to detail. Extremely caring and attentive staff, who made the stay very enjoyable and comfortable. The location is unique and perfect for those who want to experience small-scale authentic accommodation close to the bustling nightlife and markets of the medina yet extremely quiet and calm at the same time. You won't hear anything from outside and before from the cool and sturdy walls. Everything of very high standard.

    This is an amazing riad,really beautiful, fantastically comfortable beds and a wonderful breakfast every morning. Our stay was made even better with the fabulous staff who were very attentive to any of our needs and recommend lots of fabulous restaurants and places to go. It is central and close to everything yet really peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommended

    The property was stunning. Every room has a unique decorative style and the most stunning details. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Khalid one of the team went above and beyond helping us to make some bookings and giving us details of the area. Thank you for an amazing stay ❤️

    The rooms on the ground floor are a bit dark - if available I recommend asking for a room on one of the upper floors.

    The employees are extremely kind. The rooftop with the small pool is amazing.

    Internet was a bit unstable but that was maybe more a general local issue than a specific one related to the Riad.

    We had an amazing magical stay! The Riad was beautiful, the room (junior suite) very comfortable and the location is perfect to enjoy an authentic experience within the medina, explore the historical sites of the city or admire the Ocean. The rooftop with the small pool was a fantastic bonus to relax after our visits and enjoy Rabat sun and view. The staff was very friendly, special thank you to Sanaa who’s been so helpful!

    WiFi inconsistent and patchy. Kitchen not open to guests for coffee or the lovely smelling staff lunches! Water from the shower spills into the toilet area, this is common across the riads.

    Friendly staff, excellent rooms, great pool and terrace area. Great neighbouring restaurant. Pictures accurately depict the rooms.

    Everything was very clean and very nice. The staff were excellent and accommodating. The pool was great. Our only issue was that the AC in our room was semi functional and the water in the bath and shower reached lukewarm levels at hottest. Luckily it was warm enough out that a shower on the colder side was nice but because of the heat not having consistent AC was a little uncomfortable but with the breeze and open windows it was manageable. Overall a lovely place to stay with a few things that could be a slight inconvenience but if AC or hot water isn’t necessary for you I whole heartedly recommend this hotel.

    Nothing not to like really, just different to what I am used to in hotels. Google maps is well handy as I kept getting lost finding my way home 🤣.

    Very authentic Moroccan style. Different from the norm and set amongst the windy back streets. Felt perfectly safe even walking home late at night. Rooftop terrace an swimming pool were excellent.

    I wrote before our arrival , that We would like to have dinner in their restaurant. I never got an answer until we arrived. The restaurant was full. Finaly they tried different other restaurants that were full. We ended up as the only guests in a not good restaurant I know it is not their responsibility, but if they had answered me, I could have made a different reservation.

    The breakfast was the typical Moroccan breakfast. The room was spacious and cozy.

    Beautiful design, small and intimate hotel but with plenty of spaces to use as an oasis after walking the medina. Incredibly nice staff, great breakfast, and very centrally located. We really appreciated the welcome Ayoub gave us when we arrived, he was very kind and knowledgeable. The pool was great to cool off from the heat in. Very much recommend!

    A Royal Riad in Rabat
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Suite Prestige with Terrace
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We really really enjoyed our stay but a couple things were not to our liking, the biggest of which was the bathroom situation. For some strange reason it was basically open to the rest of the room and meant using the toilet was a group experience. We cannot imagine that ANY couple would want to poop in a room without a door - and our solution was to go outside while the other did their business. That said, this was not possible in the middle of the night and waking the other person up with some less than sexy sounds/smells was not an option - hence frantically searching for the toilet downstairs at 3 AM; Pro tip: ask where it is when you check in. Less importantly, but worth mentioning, is that the sofa was quite dated and uncomfortable, and the colorful Las Vegas-style lighting was tacky and simply did not match the overall ambience.

    After staying in a "variety" of places while visiting four other cities in Morocco, this Riad felt authentic and was exactly what we needed: a taste of luxury in a very central location. We booked the bougie suite on the top floor, which meant that we had the terrace to ourselves almost the entire time. The rooftop pool was most definitely our favorite aspect, and we spent a lot of time just laying out, swimming, listening to music, and relaxing after having had many intense days of sightseeing - it was clean and like a little oasis amidst the neighboring satellites and rooftops. The suite itself was also clean (albeit a little dated) and very spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom featured a huge bathtub that I enjoyed immensely (caveat: it is a doorless bathroom!). The wifi worked well in our room too, despite being on the top floor, so watching shows at night was possible. The common area downstairs, where they offer a delicious and varied breakfast (they served some sort of clotted cream which was divine), was really stylish and beautiful. Finally, the staff in the reception and the kitchen were very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for a gorgeous place to stay while exploring Rabat or just relaxing, this place is for you.

    Beautiful spot with nice and helpful staff for a memorable stay in Rabat

    My bedroom was located on the ground floor next to the inner courtyard in the middle of the Riad. This led to lack of privacy on the sound level (noise from breakfast preparing or other guests - but also my noise from the room would be heard in the courtyard) and therefor also lack of sleep. Next time I will book a room on the first or second floor, as I know better now.

    The staff was very helpful with everything and kind as well. I had a 2-nights upgrade for a suite, as my room had a little issue, which was cool. The building is beautiful and I enjoyed the interior design very much. Also, I benefited from the pool at the roof top to relax after work. The breakfast was delicious. The location in the Medina is very beautiful. I would come back next time.
