“Riad stay in Rabat”
We arrived at night after travelling all day and there was no food available. Room was nice, a bit rustic, albeit small. The following day we went for a walk around the Medina, which I can describe as awful, filthy and degrading. I had to buy a pair of long trousers as the looks I got along with men licking their lips at me. I was horrified. We went to the main square in Rabat which was a lot nicer and more modern than the medina. Taxis were easy enough to get too. The Riad moved us to another room after the first night, which was much bigger, but it is old and dated and could use a glow-up and refresh... just the little things. We went to casablanca after the second day as we couldnt do another day in Rabat. Would never step foot in Rabat again... just not my kind of place. Just to add I have been to a lot of places around the world, and this is definitley the worst.

“Riad in Rabat”
I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars for Dar El Kebira. The positives: the staff are very nice and helpful, the breakfast was lavish and I greatly enjoyed the dinner I had here. The terrace offers great views and is a pleasant place to relax. If you are interested in the beach or the kasbah, the hotel is very convenient to both. What was less nice was the room itself. While the room was beautiful on the surface, this isn't the same as being comfortable or practical for the guest. My room was very narrow, such that I ended up getting in and out of bed by climbing up from the bottom of the bed. The room was also quite humid and I saw more than a few ants. The bathtub looked cool, but the shower curtain was too long and the tub was too narrow. So water got on the floor even as I felt afraid of slipping on the curtain. It may be that my concerns would not be an issue in other rooms.

“Stunning Riad in the Rabat Medina”
We stayed here for 4 nights in this authentic beautiful riad just within the medina. We had a lovely room called Chellah which was narrow but long with very high ceilings, just as you would expect from a riad. I slept better here than I do at home! Very quiet. Big bathroom and comfortable bed. Excellent air conditioning. Water pressure very good. Room cleaned daily. Breakfast was delicious and the staff are brilliant and provide that personal service that you simply won’t get in a big hotel. We had a lovely dinner here one night. The chicken pastilla was delicious! There is a roof terrace that you have access to 24/7. The location of the riad was perfect for us! We loved the medina. Rabat is a great place to visit, less hectic than other Moroccan cities and less touristy! Overall, we had an excellent short holiday in Rabat and the riad far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to all the staff who made us feel so welcome! It was beautiful.

“Were relocated to inferior accommodation without notice”
With it's excellent facilities, restaurant, bar, room service, sat. TV, wellness centre, etc. I was really happy when we booked this facility several months before we travelled. Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy ANY of this as, upon arrival, a gentleman who we believe was the owner had "transferred" us to another riad he owned, some 10 minutes away. The room at the new riad, (Riad Esmerelda), was quite good, but was up 44 steps on the roof terrace and had NONE of the facilities listed above for Dar El Kebira. We certainly would not have booked it. We went back to the original accommodation to complain, but were advised that the riad was full, (subsequently we found that they had accepted a large booking from a group of UK visitors and we were not the only quests who had been moved to inferior facilities). When we asked for a table at the restaurant, again we were advised they were full with "residents" but after a somewhat lively discussion as to our status, a table was laid for us in a lobby area. The restaurant staff at Dar El Kebira were obviously well trained, wore uniforms and provided excellent food and service. Unfortunately, those at Riad Esmerelda, (although very pleasant people), were, I suspect, very new, untrained and a little out of their depth. Our room was never serviced whilst we were there, so we made our own beds and even had to go and find our own toilet rolls! So, if you actually get to stay at Dar El Kebira, I am sure you will have a good time, but be aware that it appears to be common practice to change your reservation when you arrive, in which case, good luck.
