My stay was great. The room was generously sized and clean. The location was wonderful - right in the heart of the medina and near everything. The staff couldn't have been more helpful at every turn - really pleasant and good humoured. The breakfast was slightly different every day and was exactly what was needed to set you up well for the day. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely stay there again when I'm next in Rabat.

Tiny rooms nowhere near a five-star property!

The rooms are a two-stars standard, not five !! The riad is very nicely located — in the Medina but not too far from outside. The interior is really nicely decorated. Plenty of beautiful common spaces and a nice rooftop. For that the hotel could be a four-stars standard. The staff is friendly. But while I don’t know the legal standards for Morocco to grant five stars to a property, everywhere in the world the standards include a minimum ROOM SIZE. As someone who spends one third of his life on hotels, I can tell you the room sizes are two-stars — it’s the kind of room size you would find at Ibis Budget, not even at Holiday Inm Express! I am not trying compare apples with oranges — this is an old town typical Riad — but the reason I chose a five-stars property instead of four or three (and paid more accordingly) was exactly room size and room comfort. Whoever renovated this building did a great job at imagining the beautiful furniture and decorations. But they forgot that the rooms also need to accommodate guests and their baggage… My son and I couldn’t move around the room at the same time — one had to make space for the other. The suitcase couldn’t be anywhere lying flat (other than on the bed). The twin beds were about 80 cm wide. No space to put things. No space to put my toiletries bag in the bathroom. I saw other rooms and they were equally small — see photos. Breakfast was very basic. Again not five stars. A cheese omelet was merely an omelet with a s

Enjoyable 3-Day Stay

We had a wonderful 3-day stay. The staff was so accommodating. Big shout-out to Hamid, the concierge for most of our stay and also our server for a delicious dinner. He was professional and friendly. Also to Ahmed, who carried bags for 8 of us up and down stairs, poured Moroccan tea, and was engaging in conversation. Younis also made sure we were well taken care of. The rooms were pretty and comfortable, the courtyard was clean and lovely and we loved the rooftop glasses of wine and conversation with our group. Fun to wind through the streets of the medina to find our way back after excursions. We felt totally safe in the medina, day and night.

Disappointing experience

The room; the night I checked in the air conditioner was making a loud noise and didn’t work at all. Evenings were okay during my stay because it was cool weather. I had late night check in because of my flight and I had to call the manager - several times before he answered. Also on informing him that the air conditioner was not working he said it was. Next day I got a change of room (which was fairly cleaner than the previous one) because the attendee Ahmed checked to confirm it wasn’t working. A day after work when I came they transferred everything without my presence and confirmation back to the old room. And seeing it in daylight made me totally uncomfortable. I didn’t take the breakfast on any of the days at the Riad.

Disappointing experience

Please don’t pick the Chelet room; the night I checked in the air conditioner was making a loud noise and didn’t work at all. Evenings were okay during my stay because it was cool weather. I had late night check in because of my flight and I had to call the manager - Soufiane several times before he answered. Also on informing him that the air conditioner was not working he said it was.

2/10 Poor

Ich wurde vom Hotelpersonal zu einem illegalen Parkplatz begleitet (was ich natürlich nicht wissen konnte), für den ich bei einem offenbar selbsternannten Parkplatzwächter zahlen musste. Bereits am Nachmittag war mein Mietwagen abgeschleppt worden und der „Parkplatzwächter“ war verschwunden. Ich musste mit einem halben Tag Aufwand und viel Geld mein Auto zurückbeschaffen. Der Hotelmanager hat mir seine Hilfe dabei verweigert, und ich musste alles mit der Polizei alleine regeln. 100 m weiter gab es einen offiziellen bewachten Parkplatz, den ich dann genutzt habe. Der Hotelconcierge hätte mir das gleich zeigen müssen, wollte aber offenbar bei seinen Freunden von der Parkplatzmafia nochmal eine Provision verdienen. Als ich den Manager auf meine Kosten angesprochen und ihn darauf hingewiesen habe, dass das Hotel mir den legalen Parkplatz hätte empfehlen müssen, wurde dieser laut und hat mich übel beschimpft. Fazit: Ein Hotel, das sich 5 Sterne gibt und für marokkanische Verhältnisse recht teurer ist, sollte es nicht nötig haben, seine Gäste auch noch mit üblen Tricks abzuzocken, um ein paar Dirham extra zu verdienen. Eine sehr schlechte Reiseerfahrung, die sich jeder, der dies liest ersparen kann…
