L’emplacement du Riad dans une rue calme et le petit déjeuner copieux et de bonne qualité.
Cons: Pas de boisson d’accueil proposée à l’arrivée (thé marocain ou bouteille d’eau ) et Aucune prise dans la salle de bain pour brancher un sèche cheveux, rasoir ou autre. Luminosité de la salle de bain trop faible.

Riad très calme. Chambre juste confortable. Le gardien est très disponible et serviable. La cuisinière est à l'écoute et dévouée. Très bons déjeuners. A cinq minutes en taxi de la Marina ou il est possible de traverser en barque ou prendre le tram un peu plus loin.
Cons: Riad fort sombre. Petits soucis techniques mais réglés rapidement.

Mi è piaciuto tutto. A partire dalla posizione leggermente dislogata dal centro di Rabat, per questo tranquilla e caratteristica. Quartiere pulito e residenza pulita, padrone di casa super gentile così come l'altra ragazza che ci lavora. Stanza pulita e grande con aria condizionata e bagno semplice ma grande e super pulito. Ci siamo trovati veramente molto bene. C'è anche un hammam molto vicino. La terrazza per fare colazione è bellissima e la colazione è molto ricca e buona. 😋 Avrei voluto rimanere più tempo.
Cons: Niente, tutto perfetto.

The bedroom that we got was good, but after a long discussion with the man how was there at night who wants to give us a separate bedroom even we booked for a double bedroom for two persons . He said that prices are not the same even we booked our room by reading their options and choosing a room with a photo posted on booking
Cons: Once we reach the hotel after walking from the park, we found a man outside the hotel and the door was closed, he asked us if we booked before or not (we booked before of course) he said that he didn’t receive any notification about our reservation and he has to call someone else (responsible) all of that and we are still outside. After we get inside he called someone and they told him that reservation is done, and we started an other discussion about the room as I mentioned above.

Lovely quiet property tucked away in the Salé Medina Friendly , helpful staff Great breakfast on the rooftop Beautiful bedroom and lounger linen
Cons: Heater in room a bit old , hard to use . Tap in bathroom sink placed a bit awkwardly, shot out water which then splashed onto you. A bit of a smell from old pipes in bathroom . Sadly, new rug in room had a very ugly stain, which sort of threw the rest of the beautiful decor off 😕

Riad at Sale district, so you can expect quiet morning and start it at shaded terrace upstairs with a cup of coffee over breakfast. Worthy to mention actually working laundry service, which was N/A or had issues at previous 4 accomodations at August's 38-43+ 'C. Staff is helpful and provides answers about local area; taxi trip to museums in Rabat's center from there was indeed affordable at time of my visit. Can recommend.
Cons: Minor fixable shower stuff, though with season's heats not that important.

Cons: Car parking is free around all the streets so beware if they charge you for parking in a normal street but say that it has security because it doesn’t.

I liked everything. The staff was very kind and helpful, the chamber was beautiful and with a private bathroom. The location was perfect for enjoying Salé Medina, and also the surroundings as the beach for instance.
Cons: It is not a complaint but a piece of advice. This is a smart location for staying since you could go to Rabat taking a taxi for ten or twenty Dirhams. At Rabat the accommodation is rather expensive.

It was in the Salla town, 5 mint drive to Rabat. It's cheaper to stay in Sala than Rabat in the same class. The staff was polite and friendly, especially SARA. The owner Zahra is nice too. Close to Bab Shaffàa Gate. Close to the beach ,5 mint walk .
Cons: No Words.

Nice accommodating staff. Good heating and breakfast.
Cons: Very poor internet or 3 mb upload and 0.5 mb download but the staff in absolute denial. The parking is a 300 meter hike from the raid with your baggage and the location is NOT in a good part of town. At night the streets around the raid are full of discarded garbage.

The whole place was amazing, the building incredible, the decor beautiful. The rooms were in the old style but with modern lighting, plumbing, etc. Breakfast was delicious and copious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The toiletries provided were gorgeous. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to return soon. Also a short taxi ride away from Rabat-Salé International Airport
Cons: Everything was wonderful. It was exactly as described. I suppose some people mind find the location difficult, cars could not drive right up and it was a 30 minute walk from Salé Station (although you could get a taxi to Bab Chaafa gate which is a 7 minute walk away) but we loved it.

Sara was so friendly and welcoming! She helped us find what to do and where to go. We felt very safe. She even made some wheat free cakes for breakfast because my daughter has an allergy. Breakfast generally was excellent! It was very quiet and its a few minutes walk from lots of little kiosks selling things and about 20 minutes to the marina which is lovely and there's a kasbah behind the castle walls. Hassan tower which is beautiful, is again all in the same area. Taking the little boats across was so fun. To park at the riad, you need to park next to the post office, which has a cash point too, there's a lovely lady who guides you to the hotel, a 2 minute walk, and watches your car for a couple of euros.
Cons: Nothing, we had such a fantastic time! It could be good to have some shower gel in the bathroom and my children's room had a very nice fan but we had air con. Luckily, it was a cool night anyway.

You don't know what a 10/10 is without coming here. Super clean and tidy with excellent service. We were both a bit sick and Sarah took good care of us, a true angel! Great food, great place, lovely rooms, and amazing people. Also close to the beach and to the local markets.
Cons: Nothing, honestly I would not know how to improve the place.

I have paid , once i arrived from the airport . They refused to open the door saying that they were not expecting me . It was an awful and scary experience as the neighbourhood is not a safe one . I had to leave at night and find another hotel with all my luggage . I have contacted the booking team regarding that issue , and still waiting for a refund . I DO NOT RECOMMEND

The staff was horrible. Followed us around, asking for more money even after we paid. Harrased us the last days. Locked my husband in the room and forced him to pay to be able to get out. We left one night before but still paid fully plus what they forced us to give them. When leaving the owner started throwing things at me and my dog. Hortific!

The room was pretty clean and it looks like a traditional riad room. The location was in old town which was a good place to walk.
Cons: The breakfast was completely terrible. They gave us only some jams, butter and only bread. The staff couldn’t speak English so we couldn’t ask for anything. The place is definitely not worth the money we paid.
