I had a tagine it the brasserie. It was very tasty and the staff was really friendly. Good choice for dinner

The hotel is in the modern area of town, not far from the train station - although you will need a taxi if you have luggage.

The hotel is on a large and busy junction / roundabout - it's easy to spot. Reception in the day time can be rather frosty and unfriendly - you need to stand your ground here. In particular, note that the hotel offers 2 almost identical tariffs at the same price for rooms booked in advance - one has breakfast, while the other does not. If you choose the 'with breakfast' tariff, make sure you have evidence of this, as reception by default seem to state that breakfast is not included - even with proof reception still seem to want to make life difficult for you. There's a bureau de change at reception - they will change a bit of cash, but for more than a small amount, will tell you to go to a bank.

As the hotel is on a road junction, the rooms at the front are noisy - make clear from the start that you want a quiet room at the back of the hotel. When we stayed, the hotel staff told us the next day the hotel was empty (it was just after Xmas and this is a business centric hotel), but we were still originally allocated a room on the 1st floor facing the road junction - on request we were given a quiet room at the back of the hotel.

Having said all that, the rooms are comfortable, and the rest of the staff are very friendly. Reception staff in the evening seemed rather more helpful than during the day. The bar is a relaxing place to have a drink - the barman was excellent. The restaurant is good as well serving very good food. Unlike many chain hotels, the restaurant is also quite attractive to be in as well.

Breaskfast the following day was ample - there's plenty of variety on offer. Internet access on the mezzanine floor was fast.

Overall with some small changes could be good if you're in Rabat for work, or as a stop-off en route for tourists.

Stayed in this ceentral hotel in Rabat for two nights. Selection was made based on all the essentials and I was not disappointed. The rooms are good, clean and with almost all the fescilities of a four star property. Bed was large and comfortable, free internet across the hotel was a bonus and the hotel houses a very nice restaurant where you can eat authentic Moroccon food. The connectivity is good since you have a metro stop just outside the hotel. Taxis are called on request but the taxi services in itself are bad. There is no metre system and the drivers may really 'take you for a ride'. The famous Medina is a walking distance and so are the other places. Reception staff is nice and well mannered and speaks English, a big relief from the rest of the Morocco specially when dealing with taxi drivers and interacting with people in the town. Overall a nice experience and will go for it again when in Rabat next time.

I spent three nights at the Diwan on a business trip. Location is perfect, right in the center of Rabat, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Checking was fast. Staff was friendly and flexible: they rearranged my booking to give me a room that was ready (it was a morning check in). Room was very clean, small balcony, satellite TV although internet wireless was unstable. There is no gym, which is a flaw for such a good place. However there is a spa with very affordable and professional massage, including steam room. What I liked was the perfect balance between affordability and quality of the service. Will definitely go back.
