+ relatively good value for money + Kind and helpful staff + Even though location was a bit far from the main attractions of Rabat but I kind of appreciated the distance from the crowd and noise. The access to Rabat is great and taking a taxi was easy. The neighbourhood was also very nice with few shops and good restaurants near by.

“Perfect stay a step from Salé beach”
Beautiful traditional riad really close to the Salé beach. It's located very conveniently to get to Medinas of both Rabat and Salé. The host was really great and helpful, and we totally enjoyed her breakfasts. The rooms were always sparkling clean and cozy. Thank you so much!

“One of the best accommodation experiences we've had in Morocco over the years.”
The host Rita was exceptionally friendly and could not have been more helpful sorting out personal matters. The riad is ideally situated within minutes of local restaurants and shops and it takes 10-12 minutes to walk to the pier where you can cross the river to Rabat on a small rowing boat or to the tram stop. A freshly prepared Morrocan breakfast is served on the terrace, with a fantastic 360 degrees view of the Oudayas across the Bou Regreg river, of the sea and of Salé town and Rabat. The Fès room was very clean, quiet and spacious, with a large and comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom.
