We very much enjoyed our stay here. We had requested a room with two twin beds and we got a room on the terrace. Wish the weather was warmer to have breakfast at the terrace. The time was quiet and was spacious. There’s a lot of stairs to climb, however. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. Osama (not sure about the spelling) was such a wonderful person who packed us breakfasts couple of times as we had early day tours organized. He gave some helpful tips and was very friendly. He definitely made a huge difference to our stay. Rating is 4 star because the bathroom drain was clogging from time to time and also, we had ordered a cab for pick up from the train station at night but no one showed up. It didn’t affect us much as we took a taxi till the blue gate. The Riad is just 5 min away from the gate. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Hacan was absolutely wonderful; we arrived around midnight and starving. He got us a whole chicken dinner with olives, gravy, fries, bread etc. Best chicken I ever ate. Next day him and his wife showed us the Riad and shared history of the home. Both were super helpful and wonderful people. I am proud to say I have friends in Rabat. We are planning to stay again in the spring. If I could give them more stars I would!!!

Riad Sabah is just a short distance off of a main souk so it is very conveniently located. When we first walked in the doors, we immediately felt that we walked into an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. The address on google maps is not completely accurate so you will need to be prepared to wonder a bit past the location on the map, and make sure you know what the front door looks like. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We were greeted with a great breakfast every morning and they were accommodating with your scheduling needs. We both enjoyed a 30 minute hammam with 30 minute massage. It was extremely enjoyable. Make sure you are prepared to pay for this in cash as they do not accept credit card payments for the hammam. I would highly recommend this riad. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely experience and felt immediately at home at this beautiful riad. It is super clean, has delicious breakfasts and authentically friendly and helpful staff who do everything they can to ensure your comfort. We are traveling with our 2year old son and they also did their best to accommodate his needs. Since then we have stayed at another similarly priced riad (in Meknes) and found the standards there to be much lower. It’s really about the small things: clean floors and swimming pool, soft (for Morocco), soft bed linens and towels, good soap in a dispenser, tea and coffee on demand, great location on a quiet street in the middle of the main shopping district… highly recommended!

Het zwembad hebben we niet gedaan wegens niet verwarmd. Het is een mooie riad in de medina, proper. Vriendelijk personeel. Enkel het ontbijt vond ik minder, wij zijn gewoon van meer keuze van broodjes en beleg. Maar dat is het enige minpunt. De spa hebben we ook niet gedaan.

Fint og rent værelse, flinke og opmærksomt personale hele vejen rundt. Fantastisk udsigt over hele medinaen, fra den dejlige tagterrasse. Alt i alt et vildt dejligt sted, som dog kan være svært at finde, selv med Google Maps. Prøvede Hammam & massage, men denne gang var oplevelsen ikke som den sidst. Massøren havde alt for travlt. Men det var også den eneste negative ting ved mit ophold. Kommer helt sikkert gerne igen
