The owner is very nice, but the beautiful room is very somber, the light is almost null. It was also very cold in the room and the little heating she provided was not enough. The bathroom is tiny and so dark it is impossible to put any make up on!

The only place to stay in Rabat-Salé

Received and lovely welcome from the host and some tea. When I was shown my room, I was floored. It’s been the highlight of my trip to Morocco. Would 100% recommend the breakfast. So tasty and so much of it. Amazing rooftop views were the icing on the cake

It was one of the hotels I was most satisfied with the atmosphere so far. It had both a warm and authentic atmosphere. We thank Rita very much. She warmed us with her warm smile. We also liked the location of the hotel and the breakfast. I only wish they used a duvet instead of a blanket because I was allergic to dust. Excellent in terms of price performance.

The riad is average , with a nice breakfast and cool terrace. However the problem was with the staff at check out. It was the last day of our stay and they did not remember ya the taxes you have to pay at check out. They did not accept credit card, nor euro, they have no change, and when promptly asked to find the closest money change they insulted as and attacked us screaming loud. I will send the amount via paypal but is not recommended.

Lovely Riad!

The Riad was lovely. Decorated beautifully, with a fantastic roof top garden. My partner had a massage with Serwa and it was great. Stephan is a wonderful host, with wit and an abundance of information. I strongly recommend the property

Very nice and friendly, great breakfast with a view of the breakers on the ocean line. The breakfast on the terrace was the highlight but the room was also very comfortable and beautifully restored in the traditional riad way. Parking was not a problem, just round the corner. Owner very welcoming despite our rather late and unavoidable arrival, did his best to rustle up some food to keep us going until the fantastic Moroccan breakfast!
