L'équipe est adorable, à l'écoute et réactive. Ils se coupent en 4 pour répondre aux demandes.
Localização; staff 5 estrelas; o café e o pão do pequeno almoço são divinais.
Fuga de água da banheira; cheiro a mofo no quarto, o chão tinha pó.
Great location, excellent service and delicious breakfast
The rooms had large windows into the inner courtyard, but there are curtains for privacy.
ديكور المكان وأجوائه
الوصول كان صعب ولا يوجد موقف للسياره كما هو مكتوب واضطرت لإيقاف السيارة في الشارع، والموظف المسؤول عن حمل الحقائب كان كثير الشكوى من العمل ويطلب إكرامية
La proximité des lieux de visite La gentillesse de tout le personnel La qualité du petit déjeuner
Comme notre chambre était en RDC elle était très sombre mais cela tient au Riad en général
Ontbijt op het dakterras
Achterstallige onderhoud in heel het gebouw, geen lekker bed. Douche kraan laat los.
El personal muy amable, y la ubicación muy bien.
Las habitación olía mucho a humedad, y en el baño como era bañera y no estaba pegada a la pared se salía el agua. Por otro lado tenía cortina de ducha que recomendaría cambiar.
Very nice riad and the staff were super helpful and nice! Really love it!
Tres bien situé Tres beau et bien décoré Chambre tres agréable, lumineuse et spacieuse. Tout le personnel était extrêmement attentionné et efficace.
Bruit venant de la rue. Les chambres donnant sur la rue ne sont pas insonorisées (il faudrait un double vitrage)
Service war super, es war sehr sauber, tolles Frühstück, kann ich wirklich empfehlen!
Es ist ein sehr gutes Riad an ausgezeichneter Lage
Das interne Hammam ist zu teuer. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist schlecht
Le personnel
Rien
We loved the ambience and the decor of the property. The room size was very good and the location was very accessible.
No swimming pool and no eggs over breakfast. I am not sure if we had to ask for one but nobody was having it so we assumed that it was not part of the spread.
Excellent breakfast- plenty of choice
L’emplacement, le décor de la maison
Un accueil un peu impersonnel Le tarif de diner
Le hall
La chambre sentait la moisissure. Un cap de bain était carrément sale, l’un des taies d’oreiller était sale aussi et l’autre oreiller était enveloppé dans un drap sans taie bien sûr !!!
Characterful Convenient position
The room was in need of some updating.
Luxe Calme et Volupté
- The location is central and the building itself has traditional character. - Staff were polite in conversation and initially acknowledged the issue.
- We were not given the Deluxe Double room that we had booked. - The alternative room was not clean, had a strong smell, and the bathroom was very small. - The room was next to the office area, offering no privacy. - We were asked to “wait until morning” despite staying only one night. - The refund process was extremely slow and required repeated follow-ups (not resolved yet) - We were asked to send a copy of our credit card via WhatsApp, which is not a secure or appropriate practice.
Prachtige inrichting, WAUHH. Aardige mensen behulpzaam op veel fronten. Fijne badkamer Fijn bed Heerlijk ontbijt Super welkomst thee.
In de kerstperiode wel wat duur. Verder alles fijn!
L'accueil chaleureux par Ahmed, qui a bien voulu nous accueillir plus tôt que prévu avec un thé, parce qu'on était trempé, La gentillesse de Youness pendant notre dîner, L'excellent hammam et massage prodigué par Hanane, douce et bienveillante, Un moment hors du temps dans cette magnifique ville.
Magnifique riad parfaitement décoré dans le style marocain traditionnel et bien situé dans la médina (avec une très bonne signalétique dans les rues pour y accéder),à 5 minutes à pied de la Kasbah des Oudayas et 20 minutes à pied des autres points forts de Rabat. Très bonne literie, restaurant délicieux, super terrasse sur le toit où prendre un excellent petit-déjeuner à la marocaine. Excellent massage au sein même du riad. Mention spéciale pour le personnel, particulièrement attentionné et professionnel. En un mot que du positif, je recommande absolument cette adresse si vous allez à Rabat.
Rien tout était parfait
Cuisine impecable et le staff etait tres acceuillant ainsi que L'hôtel est incroyable, comme un musée.
La durée de mon sejour etait tres courte
Location was good.
Poor evening meal and expensive.
Il riad è in una posizione molto centrale, vicino a tutte le attrazioni turistiche ed al mare. Facile l'accesso dalla strada carrabile, luogo silenzioso. La corte centrale è bella, anche con mobili di pregio ed il personale è molto cordiale. La colazione discreta
Il riad è datato, molte cose andrebbero manutenute o sostituite e soprattutto la pulizia lascia molto a desiderare. Le lenzuola del letto erano sporche e i cuscini datatissimi. Nella stanza appena entrati c'era un brutto odore e non era assolutamente piacevole. Stanza piccolissima, non era possibile scendere lateralmente dal letto. Peccato perchè avrebbe tutte le carte in regola per essere un luogo bellissimo e soprattutto il costo per quanto offerto è estremamente alto
Bon accueil, souriant avec thé et biscuits. Chambre grande, spacieuse et propre Bon petit déjeuner Bouteille d'eau dans la chambre
Very good location, lovely terrace and amazing service, particularly at breakfast.
Such a beautiful property but also very comfortable as well. The staff was amazing especially Eunese made sure I felt at home
I loved everything
Un séjour merveilleux dans ce Riad digne des Mille et Une Nuits. Situé en plein milieu de la médina de Rabat. L'atmosphère y est apaisante et chaleureuse. Nous tenons à souligner la qualité de l'accueil : malgré notre check-in tardif, le personnel s'est montré d'une grande gentillesse, nous offrant un thé de bienvenue et acceptant même de nous servir à dîner. Tout était parfait, du service attentionné à la qualité des repas (petit-déjeuner et dîner excellents). Un grand merci à toute l'équipe !
Vous allez plonger dans le rêve ! À voir absolument, sans aucune réserve, vous serez totalement satisfaits.
Staff are very helpful. Having a bathtub is very nice. Very good breakfast. Nice decorations.
Our stay at Dar El Khebira Riad in Rabat was exceptional from start to finish! Very artsy and traditional Riad - we loved every space of this hotel/riad 😍 A heartfelt Thank You to the Front Desk/Concierge Mohammed, Younes, Fatiha (the strong and talented Spa Therapist), and Fatiha (the brilliant Cook), for their warm hospitality, constant attention, and kindness. The breakfast (local produce and freshly cooked) was absolutely delicious 👌🏽🙌🏽🙏 My daughter and I are very grateful for the help, the comfort, and the genuine warmth we experienced throughout our stay. From the perfect location (inside the Medina Rabat) to the top-notch comfort of the rooms, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended! ☺️
I was told that the 45 min Hammam + 60 min massage would cost 600 MAD, and just the Hammam is 300 MAD, however, 2 other taxes/rates were applied to my final bill and instead of 900 MAD (my daughter had the Hammam treatment and no massage, while I had the duo treatments), I ended up paying 1080 MAD which is 180 MAD more and I don’t even know “clearly” what is the extra for. The concierge wasn’t able to help me understand it either. Apart from this, everything was wonderful.
emplacement proche de la mer et dans la médina. Authentique riad historique avec une décoration absolument remarquable. Personnel très courtois et charmant , attentif toujours souriant. On se sent vraiment très bienvenu. Lit confortable et salle de bain bien équipée emplacement proche de la mer et dans la médina.
un petit bémol pour la taille de la chambre avec un accès vraiment très limité d'un côté du lit. Une nuit sur les deux avec pas mal de bruit extérieur ( dans la médina le jeudi soir).
Le lieu, la terrasse pour le petit déjeuner, la situation idéale… mais surtout le personnel est très attentif et bienveillant, aux petits soins et toujours prêt pour rendre service. Mention spéciale pour Mohammed et Ahmed 🙏🏻
Location is very convenient. Staff (Mohammed) friendly and helpful We only had to stay one night.
Room was very dirty. (Floor was so bad I couldn't walk on it in bare feet) There were tiny slivers of broken glass on the rug. Extractor fan in the bathroom "sprayed" black dust into the bathroom so we couldn't use it. Only 2 coat hangers provided for a double room for 2 people? No bath towels until we asked (twice)
The location was great on the centre. The facilities and rooms were very nice and unusual. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. Breakfast on the roof terrace was lovely too.
Nothing
1. Beautiful Riad culture throughout the building, well maintained and not only cosmetically. 2. Excellent water pressure in the shower; many 5 star hotels could learn from that. 3. Nice terrace.
45 MAD accommodation tax p/person p/night upon check-out was a bit of a surprise. Didn't see anywhere when making the reservation.
Then decor, the style and most of all the staff were fantastic.
No plugs to charge next to the bed.
El hotel es hermoso, personal muy amable y muy bien ubicado
nada me disgusto
L'accueil et la disponibilité d'un personnel très chaleureux. Un riad qui nous fait voyager au pays des comptes des Mille et Une Nuits. Une chambre très agréable.
Die Lage ist sehr charmant und angenehm mitten in der Medina, aber trotzdem ruhig in einer Sackgassen. Ideal fuer Touristen!
Was fuer Touristen ideal ist, ist leider fuer die, die aber in einen anderen Stadtteil pendeln muessen, sehr aufwendig: langer Fussweg durch die Medina und anschliessenden Schwierigkeiten, ein Taxi zu bokommen, eine enorme Schwierigkeit.
Les personnels sont serviables et à l’écoute et surtout leur responsable. Elle a bien géré nos problèmes rapidement
Charming people, perfect spot, great terrace. We loved it
The breakfast was amazing, useful and healthy in the best Marocco traditions
Very Nice Hôtel, Great location and the staff were amazing
We had a wonderful stay at Dar El Kébira. The location is excellent — right in the heart of the medina but still very peaceful and easy to access. It's the perfect base for exploring the magic of Rabat’s old city on foot. The riad itself is beautifully decorated and very clean, with an elegant traditional design that creates a warm and authentic atmosphere. The staff were kind, professional, and always ready to help — we truly appreciated their attentiveness and warm hospitality. While the room and bathroom were a little on the smaller side, they were well-maintained and comfortable enough for a short stay. Everything was spotless, and the amenities provided were thoughtful. Overall, Dar El Kébira is a lovely place to stay with top-notch service and a perfect location.
The stay at Dar El Kebira was a great experience. It is very well located close to the Kasbah of the Udayas. Staff was very nice and helpful. We had an excellent light dinner there the first night (vegetable tajine and for dessert oranges with cinnamon). Breakfast were delicious and very generous. Thanks for the kindness of Hamid that made our two days stay even more pleasant. For the second night we went to another good restaurant Dinarjat,
Nothing :-)
Well located near the Harbour and Medina with very helpful and freindly staff. Sumptuous Breakfast and the staff were very helpful catering for Vegetarians and others with dietary restrictions.
A little tricky to find in the maze of alleys until you get oriented but on our first day someone came out to the main road to get us.
We were warmly welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay. The riad is gorgeous. Great location and comfortable room. We had two delicious dinners in the restaurant and enjoyed the generous breakfast each morning on the rooftop. The staff was exceptional. The room could have been a little cleaner, but that is typical for riads. Definitely recommend!
Wonderful rooftop where you could have breakfast or just sit down and chill or work
Difficult to avoid the calls for pray, the mosque was in the adjacent building.
Location & restaurant , good breakfast .
Some internal building works going on , and we booked a suite for two nights, when we arrived, the suite wasn’t available due to the building work so we were offed a double room , which was below the Hamman and seemed damp and had a chlorine type of smell ( we were given a breakfast free on arrival as a jesture because our room wasn’t ready …… we had two half bottles of wine which they charged us for ….. l think we should have been given those free as the rate difference between the double and the suite was more than the free breakfast…….. only a small quibble but you asked the question.…… noisy outside
Typical Riad in the old town / part of Rabat. Nice roof top terrace and helpful staff
You need to walk with your luggage about 300 m from the main road to the Riad on uneven small street. On way back you get assistance but on way to you have to make it on your own :-)
Every single thing was perfect - the best hotel we have ever visited, anywhere Facilities were exquisite, comfortable, prepared with great care. Staff here work as a team, and were the perfect hosts - making us feel like guests not clients.
Simply beautiful! Every detail had been thought of ... from the warmest smiling welcome, to the comfort of the lounge, the spacious luxurious bedroom, gorgeous bathroom in classic Moroccan style, excellent dinner. Friendly and courteous staff who work well together as a real team.
Our stay was too short!
I felt that compared to other places we stayed in Morocco, breakfast was a bit lacklustre.
Breakfast was little unexciting compared to what we had become accustomed to at the same level in Morocco
Friendly and helpful staff, beautifully decorated rooms in a stunning riad, nice location in the Old Medina of Rabat. Decent breakfast on the rooftop.
There was a private party in our riad the first night with many guests and live music... fun but a bit loud. When we returned to our room, the organizers were like "who are you?", they did not seem to realize this was hotel too :)
Location, ambiance, personnel
The breakfast was good. The staff was wonderful. We stayed in 4 Riads during our trip visiting 3 cities in Morocco, and this one was.wonderful. Beautiful traditional tile. Very safe. I can't get over how hot the water get and how wonderful the water pressure was.
Beautiful property in amongst the Medina. Lovely, clean and fantastic staff!
Everything was great. The bed is a bit soft.
It gave a very authentic feel to my stay.
My first room had termites which I didn't notice until nighttime when I got into bed and my pillows were covered with sawdust. They changed my room the next day. Nothing was given, not even an apology. The rooms were very dusty. While there is daily house keeping it is obvious they only do a superficial cleaning without moving anything. I had one load of laundry done, was told it would be around the equivalent of $30 USD. Then they tried to charge me over $50. The furniture is old and uncomfortable. The bathrooms need updating and the whole place needs a deep clean.
- expensive if we consider the cost
- I did not love that room, at the same cost I can find better staying
My stay at Riad Dar El Kébira in Rabat was outstanding. The riad's blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and modern comforts created a serene and luxurious atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable. The beautifully decorated rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with all necessary amenities. The highlight was the exquisite breakfast on the rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking views of the medina and delicious Moroccan pastries. Located in the heart of the medina, the riad provided easy access to Rabat's main attractions. Overall, Riad Dar El Kébira offered an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rabat.
