Petit séjour très agréable. Personnel attentionné et nourriture excellente. Le Riad est superbe mais difficile à trouver dans ce dédale qu’est la médina. Par contre une personne très gentille qui marchait dans la ruelle avec sa famille nous a aider à trouver l’hôtel.

The breakfast was first rate! If breakfast was the only thing served at this hotel, I'd return just for that. Did not like the damp odor from the bathroom. There needs to be some device that keeps all the moisture within the shower area. Its a humid climate so water from the shower gets on the floor of the bathroom and never dries properly hence the odor of mildew.

Riads are tough to review. Parking is always horrendous - don’t believe them when they say “offsite parking available.” This is a cop out - you will be finding street parking and making a deal with a total stranger who could care less about the Riad. And they will try to scam you for a higher rate. This is well decorated and the staff is excellent. But the rooms are weirdly laid out. See some pictures. This includes floor level windows that open to the center courtyard etc. and uneven floors. Just know what you are getting into

It was a convenient place as it was walking distance to the beach area, castle and the souk (shopping areas). Different experience as it was in the old city (medina). Staff was very nice. Food was good. The breakfast was excellent. It was clean. Room was good. Parking was not very convenient. Had to wait a while to find parking in the public parking area where we had to pay daily parking. The shower area in the bathroom is a little aged, could do with an upgrade. Overall we enjoyed our stay there, would recommend to others.

Le Riad Kalaa a été notre préféré de tous les Riads que nous avons visités au Maroc. Élégant, propre, confortable, à proximité/distance de marche de tout ce qu’il y a à voir. Le personnel est exceptionnel! Ils nous ont recommandé un guide touristique extraordinaire: Said. Il nous a fait un tour complet de Rabat et nous a fait tomber en amour avec la ville. Le Riad est magnifique et le personnel tout autant.

Good public areas but rooms are unsatisfactory

The staff at this Riyad are very friendly and helpful, especially Rania. Alas, the room, itself was not so great, both in design/location, and in the level of upkeep. We stayed in an "oriental suite", of which there are 4 in the property. Each one is just off the main courtyard and the shortcomings were (i) There are no windows in the bedroom which makes it very dark and stuffy, (ii) the bathroom could do with a good renovation -- there is mold/damp on the walls and (iii) while there are small windows in the bathroom these open directly onto the courtyard which is not great for privacy and (iv) the furnishings are of lower quality than a Riad of this rating/price should have. On the positive side the courtyard is beautiful and the breakfast was substantial and tasty. And the staff was friendly as mentioned.
