This Riad is perfectly situated in a quiet part of the Medina and close to the beach. The customer service was excellent and I'm especially grateful for going the extra mile and posting my trainers to my Riad in Marrakech. This kindness is indicative of their dedication to magnificent customer care.

“Excellent Riad Stay”
The host was lovely and welcoming, very spacious room with lovely little touches (lemon and mint water given to us, shower gel was a nice gesture and good powerful shower with plenty of hot water). This Riad is in a great location for exploring Rabat Medina and its surroundings. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was very tasty 😋 👌

“Lovely Riad in good location”
The staff were very nice. The breakfast was plentiful. There were 2 cute tortoises on the sunroof that was nice to see. Liked the bathroom and comfy bed.

“Stunning architecture in the heart of the Medina.”
Stunning architecture strikes when you open the door to this riad. Beautiful rooms tastefully decorated in a very good location in the heart of Medina next to Kasbah. The staff was very friendly and helpful giving us tips about sightseeing and restaurants. Special mention to the cat Rosa who came to greet us and see us off.

“A Stunning Moroccan Retreat in Rabat”
Our stay at this Riad was spectacular. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with a delicious traditional mint tea, and the hospitality remained top-notch throughout our visit. The structure itself is elegant, very unique, and beautifully finished in authentic Moroccan style. To top it all off, the breakfast was absolutely delicious. If you are looking for an elegant and welcoming spot for your stay in Rabat, this place is highly recommended!

“Amazing experience staying in 300 year old riad”
The Riad inside was stunning and very atmospheric. The attention to detail of the interior decorations and furnishings was amazing - the Riad is 300 years old. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, with a loft area as well. Breakfast was very good and they also provided dinner on request, which was delicious. Owners were very friendly and kind, they even started breakfast earlier for us on the day we departed so we wouldn't be rushed.

The building is just gorgeous. Every detail from the walls to the tiles in the showers are such a joy to look at. Air conditioning in the room is another important detail. Will be back again!
