    Authentic Moroccan experience”

    It is a riad (i.e. traditional Moroccan house with a courtyard). The room was very clean, well decorated and fitted with an air-conditioning unit. The staff were really nice and welcoming. The owner himself served us breakfast at the roof top. We could see half of Sale and Rabat from the roof top, the view was amazing. Overall, very good value for money and will definitely recommend.

    Good - but a serious WARNING”

    This is a lovely, well run riad. My room was spacious, clean and even had a desk. All good. The only problem is that I booked it thinking it was in Rabat. It is not. It is in a city called, Sale, which is over the river from Rabat but runs 20-30 kms down the coast. When I found out it was not in Rabat, I tried to cancel, the owners refused. The place was too far from Rabat to take in the Rabat sights, I even had to change my train booking because Rabat station was too far away and wold have cost a fortune in taxis. At best this is a misreprasentation and false adveertising, and at worse a scam. Agoda needs to take some responsibilty for listing this place under Rabat. It isn't

    the wife cooks a brilliant tagine dish and the views from the rooftop room.

    I loved this place - the first riad i stayed in in Morocco. And i would definitely stay there again. The couple who run it are very pleasant, breakfast was good, so was dinner. It was much nicer to stay in Sale than in Rabat and this Riad is an example why. We had the room on the roof and we had the whole place to ourselves. the view across the town is fantastic.

    Nice riad but not worth the money”

    Beautifully restored building

    This riad is beautifully restored and worth going for a night as a special treat. The ladies who work there are very friendly. We had a fabulous although again very expensive meal the first night, the second night the meal was pretty mediocre. we were expecting a bit more than chicken couscous and fruit salad. The hotel also advertised free mineral water so we were surprised to be presented with a bill for two bottles of water consumed in our room when we left. It's not that we mind buying our own water but think they should honour their advertising promises. The owner shouted at me loudly in front of other guests when I queried this. Totally unnecessary and embarrassing. On the third night we were told we had to move rooms. dmittedly it was an upgrade but we didn5 want to change. Sale itself is a complete dump and there is little other choice for eating unless you go to Rabat for the evening.

    Nice place - rude owner”

    Location is hard to find. Basically from the tram, you need to walk along the entire outside of a first wall, then across a square which is called a Bab but no longer has a gate, then keep a second wall to your left and keep walking straight. It's in Salé which is fine. However the owner was snappy to my wife when she asked for directions. He did insist on adding the unannounced tax which I'm sure exists but should be included on the price on here. Staff came knocking on our door to ask for it eventually. Not so much privacy. Shame I can't recommend the stay because it's otherwise a nice building with a nice rooftop view of Rabat.
