"The riad was beautiful, clean, large, comfortable, in a great location, and staffed by very friendly, helpful people. Our room was really big as was the bathroom (make sure you get a room with a toilet if that's a necessity for you). It was probably the size of a NYC studio apartment. The interior was well decorated and architecturally beautiful. We enjoyed drinks on the terrace in the evening. It was cool and pleasant. Breakfast was delicious. The Medina in Rabat is a delightful location."
"Nothing. Be mindful that you must walk from the main roads through the Medina with your luggage to get to the riad. It was about a 400m (1/4 mile) walk."
"Friendly and helpful staff and readily accommodate requests"
"The pool on the roof top did not seem conditioned for swimming"
"The staff were the best. The pool, room and facilities were great."

"Good and clean we recommend it to everyone but they need to low the price is too much for this small riad ."
"The price is too expensive compared with other Luxury riads ."
"The Riad Kaala 1 and Kaala 2 are equally fabulous! We had a fantastic stay in Kaala 2 where we had an executive suite with terrace, airco and one floor up a shared wonderful rooftop with a tiny swimming pool and panoramic view. The staff is extremely kind and they do more than their best to satisfy the clients. The restaurant that is located in Kaala 1 is excellent."
"Originally they gave us an executive room in Kaala 1, that actually is a big apartment with separate entrance. For us it was not really convenient having steep steps up and down to the bathroom, not easy during the night. And no airco in the bedrooms. We were then relocated in Kaala 2 that it was perfect."
"Really lovely small Riad in the centre of town. It was a public holiday the time we were there and we ate in two nights in their little courtyard, food was lovely, breakfasts where the best we had in Morrocco."
"We were on the upper level but some of the bedrooms were straight on the courtyard which meant for those visitors they would have people dining right outside their door. We ordered a taxi from the reception to take us to the airport at 3.00 am on a public holiday Rome2rio had estimated this to be 100dh. They charged 400dh, but what can you do given the holiday and early start but ……"
"Great location, steps from Dinajart restaurant. Walking distance to the shops and we ate raw oysters and clams and drank sugarcane juice. The room is super clean. Breakfast was excellent, fresh orange juice and very good coffee."
"Our room has 2 stories which is inconvenient and makes the room feels tiny"
"The location was super...close to the beach and waterfront. Loved being in the old city with its charm of Old Rabat"
"Aucun."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."
