We stayed in this riad for 2 nights. Our room was beautiful - very spacious and we felt like we were Moroccan royalty! The room was expensive but as it is in the capital city not really surprising. The staff were friendly but not as personable or attentive as the staff on other riads we stayed in during our tour... More

Spent a week here in the middle of March while working in Rabat. Stayed in the Pinede suite which was terrific. My co-worker stayed in the Souissi suite, The breakfast on the roof top patio was wonderful. The service was very accomodating but not over the top which was the way I like it. It was so quiet in the... More

Beautiful restored Dar with traditional rooms (don't expect large rooms - just enough room to squeeze either side of the bed) and very clean. As we arrived tired and late we ate there - very expensive for what we got. In fact the most expensive for food of all the places we stayed in during 8 days in Morocco.But couldn't... More

Hidden in the center of the Medina of Rabat we found a jewel: Fantastic warm atmosphere, typical morrocan style designed with love for the detail, very friendly and supportive service team. Breakfast is served on the roof top of the hotel with a nice view over the roofs of the old medina of Rabat. Dinner is served in the small... More

This is a wonderful place to stay -- in the medina but not so deep in that you can't dash out for a taxi, and a short walk from the water and the Oudaya Casbah. I recently spent four nights there on my own and found the staff welcoming and super helpful but not suffocating. Breakfast was fresh, delicious and... More

arriving at Dar El Kebira we immediately felt overwelmed by the beauty and the warmth of the place. A great window through moroccan culture for my visiting friends from texas. I, myself, though from morocco, felt amazed by the authenticity of the ryad. the service was personalized and thorough.The suites were spacious and very intimate. actually, the whole place was...

Not a luxury riad but an overstuffed old place. The lobby remodeling, the food and the mint tea were good. The bedrooms are ridiculously small, no TV, no internet, no safe, no fresh air. Manager Amina "misplaced" one of our passports and she was very defensive and confrontational (it "reappeared" in a different passenger's luggage side pocket days later), making... More
