Staff and owner speak limited English, so if you speak French it is easier to communicate. Our limited French was sufficient. Beds are comfy and breakfast is tasty, good location (15 min walk from train station), overall a pleasant stay.

This was our first Riad on our 16 days trip around Morocco...and still this is my FAVORITE...beautiful place with lovely details, nice rooms and lovely terrace...and above all we really felt like we are at home...Thank you Cecile and Fred for your hospitality and for wonderful first Moroccan impresion...Have no doubt that this place will be my choice when I visit Rabat again...Truly recommend this place!!!

We stayed at Riad Marhaba for only one night right at the end of a two week trip through Morocco. Sadly, I arrived in Rabat very sick from our last destination and so was not able to enjoy the beauty of this place as much as I would have liked. The riad's interior is absolutely beautiful with amazingly intricate stone and wood work. Our suite was stunning and the terrace was lovely--a great place to stay in Rabat.

I have stayed at Fred and Cecile's beautiful Riad twice and intend to stay there every time I visit Rabat, which is quite often. The Riad itself is a lovely example of Moroccan construction and decor and the rooms are very simple and comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace is relaxing and tasty - the best coffee I have had in Morocco. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel at home. Though the location can be a bit tricky, the maps provided over email are very helpful and it is a truly wonderful experience to stay in the heart of Rabat's ancient medina.
