Dated (“old”) furnishings are somewhat charming. The room is clean and cozy, and we were satisfied with the overall experience. Good staff.

Disappointing experience
Please don’t pick the Chelet room; the night I checked in the air conditioner was making a loud noise and didn’t work at all. Evenings were okay during my stay because it was cool weather. I had late night check in because of my flight and I had to call the manager - Soufiane several times before he answered. Also on informing him that the air conditioner was not working he said it was. Next day I got a change of room to The Pinède (which was fairly cleaner than the previous one) because the attendee Ahmed checked to confirm it wasn’t working. A day after work when I came they transferred everything without my presence and confirmation back to the old room. And seeing it in daylight made me totally uncomfortable. I didn’t take the breakfast on any of the days at the Riad.

Tiny rooms nowhere near a five-star property!
The rooms are a two-stars standard, not five !!
The riad is very nicely located — in the Medina but not too far from outside. The interior is really nicely decorated. Plenty of beautiful common spaces and a nice rooftop. For that the hotel could be a four-stars standard. The staff is friendly.
But while I don’t know the legal standards for Morocco to grant five stars to a property, everywhere in the world the standards include a minimum ROOM SIZE. As someone who spends one third of his life on hotels, I can tell you the room sizes are two-stars — it’s the kind of room size you would find at Ibis Budget, not even at Holiday Inm Express! I am not trying compare apples with oranges — this is an old town typical Riad — but the reason I chose a five-stars property instead of four or three (and paid more accordingly) was exactly room size and room comfort.
Whoever renovated this building did a great job at imagining the beautiful furniture and decorations. But they forgot that the rooms also need to accommodate guests and their baggage…
My son and I couldn’t move around the room at the same time — one had to make space for the other. The suitcase couldn’t be anywhere lying flat (other than on the bed). The twin beds were about 80 cm wide. No space to put things. No space to put my toiletries bag in the bathroom.
I saw other rooms and they were equally small — see photos.
Breakfast was very basic. Again not five stars. A cheese omelet was merely an omelet with a s

Enjoyable 3-Day Stay
We had a wonderful 3-day stay. The staff was so accommodating. Big shout-out to Hamid, the concierge for most of our stay and also our server for a delicious dinner. He was professional and friendly. Also to Ahmed, who carried bags for 8 of us up and down stairs, poured Moroccan tea, and was engaging in conversation. Younis also made sure we were well taken care of. The rooms were pretty and comfortable, the courtyard was clean and lovely and we loved the rooftop glasses of wine and conversation with our group. Fun to wind through the streets of the medina to find our way back after excursions. We felt totally safe in the medina, day and night.

Great location
I had a great place and top service. Breakfast was amazing. I arrived very late and there someone waiting for me to guide me and show me around. We two ladies traveling and we felt very safe. I enjoyed its location: right in the Medina and walking distance to everything. If you love taking pictures then you will enjoy this Riad

We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay. The whole team makes you feel welcomed and is helpful whatever your need. We arrived quite late in the night and the manager was still here to welcome us.
My only suggestion Dar el Kébira's team would be to be careful not to speak too loud early in the morning.

Property overrated in previous previews. Riad is ok, breakfast is basic. Very difficult to acces, although I know Rabat is a safe city, I was not comfortable walking after dinner with kids to get back to hotel.
