    High-quality breakfast, prepared and served with attention to detail. Extremely caring and attentive staff, who made the stay very enjoyable and comfortable. The location is unique and perfect for those who want to experience small-scale authentic accommodation close to the bustling nightlife and markets of the medina yet extremely quiet and calm at the same time. You won't hear anything from outside and before from the cool and sturdy walls. Everything of very high standard.

    Absolutely fine for me but be aware that you will need to walk out of the medina if you want to use taxi or public transport, which will take you min 10 minutes.

    This is an amazing riad,really beautiful, fantastically comfortable beds and a wonderful breakfast every morning. Our stay was made even better with the fabulous staff who were very attentive to any of our needs and recommend lots of fabulous restaurants and places to go. It is central and close to everything yet really peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommended

    The riad is very nice and the staff are very helpful . They also offer a pick up service from the airport and the driver will take you to the riad as it’s hard to find first time. It’s €25 the driver was there with our names on a sign when we landed.

    The WiFi is very weak particularly if you have work to do. Also I booked a standard room ( Ifrane) all the rooms have names. Which turned out to be basically a box room. The room is small, narrow and very claustrophobic. Ok if staying one night, but we were there for four. No proper area to sit down only two chairs under the stairs as the bed is up a flight of stairs. You are looking out at a brick wall followed by a second wall. The lighting is terrible, and even if you sit on the chair you have to be careful not to bang your head getting up. My husband is 6 1. There are other rooms in the riad that are lovely such as Casablanca, Rabat and feis. As I looked at these when there but avoid Ifrane pay the extra for a nicer room. Also if you want dinner you have to go to riad kalaa 1 which is 1 minute away. This riad does not offer lunch or dinner just breakfast. And the lunch menu is the same as the dinner menu which is 3 courses for €29. Which is not ideal at lunch time when you want a snack. Therefore you have to go outside in search of something to eat. Also the AC did not work which left the room very very warm both day and night. Be aware that upstairs you have to climb into the bed as there is no room to comfortably get in by the side due to the narrow space. So not suitable for anyone with mobility, breathing problems as you will also have to go down a flight of stairs to use bathroom at night time.

    Thank you for all your feedback - the standard room is indeed specific and meets the needs of younger guests. The other rooms are much more comfortable and...more expensive. Best regards

    The property was stunning. Every room has a unique decorative style and the most stunning details. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Khalid one of the team went above and beyond helping us to make some bookings and giving us details of the area. Thank you for an amazing stay ❤️

    The employees are extremely kind. The rooftop with the small pool is amazing.

    The rooms on the ground floor are a bit dark - if available I recommend asking for a room on one of the upper floors.

    Many thanks for this good comment and you're right for the rooms at the ground floor - as all the ryads. Happy new year.

    We had an amazing magical stay! The Riad was beautiful, the room (junior suite) very comfortable and the location is perfect to enjoy an authentic experience within the medina, explore the historical sites of the city or admire the Ocean. The rooftop with the small pool was a fantastic bonus to relax after our visits and enjoy Rabat sun and view. The staff was very friendly, special thank you to Sanaa who’s been so helpful!

    Internet was a bit unstable but that was maybe more a general local issue than a specific one related to the Riad.

    Dear guest, We thank you very much and wish you a good winter.

    Our room at Riad Kalaa was unique, with a bed upstairs in a loft; it was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very communicative and accommodating. In particular this is a great location for access to the beach and other sites around Rabat. Highly recommend!

    Friendly staff, excellent rooms, great pool and terrace area. Great neighbouring restaurant. Pictures accurately depict the rooms.

    WiFi inconsistent and patchy. Kitchen not open to guests for coffee or the lovely smelling staff lunches! Water from the shower spills into the toilet area, this is common across the riads.

    Everything was very clean and very nice. The staff were excellent and accommodating. The pool was great. Our only issue was that the AC in our room was semi functional and the water in the bath and shower reached lukewarm levels at hottest. Luckily it was warm enough out that a shower on the colder side was nice but because of the heat not having consistent AC was a little uncomfortable but with the breeze and open windows it was manageable. Overall a lovely place to stay with a few things that could be a slight inconvenience but if AC or hot water isn’t necessary for you I whole heartedly recommend this hotel.

    Dear guest, We thank you very much for this good comment - We advised our technical service for the problem of Water and air conditionner and we made the necessary repairs. Have a good summer

    Very authentic Moroccan style. Different from the norm and set amongst the windy back streets. Felt perfectly safe even walking home late at night. Rooftop terrace an swimming pool were excellent.

    Nothing not to like really, just different to what I am used to in hotels. Google maps is well handy as I kept getting lost finding my way home 🤣.

    The breakfast was the typical Moroccan breakfast. The room was spacious and cozy.

    I wrote before our arrival , that We would like to have dinner in their restaurant. I never got an answer until we arrived. The restaurant was full. Finaly they tried different other restaurants that were full. We ended up as the only guests in a not good restaurant I know it is not their responsibility, but if they had answered me, I could have made a different reservation.

    Property response:

    Hello Many thanks for the good comment and we are soory for not having answer for the dinner. Its just a combination of circumstances. I was traveling when you asked and it was too late to respond afterwards. With best regards,

    Great location in the older part of the city. Maybe that means it is not kept up with cleanliness?

    It wasn’t clean. The shared areas and our room, everything needs a better cleaning. For the money we spent, I expected the property to be more throughly cleaned. Thank goodness we had packed cleaning wipes and were able to clean the area we stayed in properly.

    Property response:

    Sorry for this bad impression. This is the first time anyone has complained about cleanliness in our establishment. We will review this with the staff. Best regards,
