“Kind service, beautiful riad”

Dar El Kebira

5 of 5 stars
Kilrathi
Marrakech
May 30, 2008

This is a beautiful riad in Rabat, a welcome change from all the businessman hotels you'd otherwise stay at in Rabat. The riad is wonderfully decorated and the welcome -- from a fruit basket to mint tea to bottles of water -- was really nice at the end of a long trip. The staff is on top of all the details and welcome with advice and went out of their way to help return something we'd left behind by accident. The setting in the Medina is great (as people have mentioned, it's a bit tricky to find the first time but the map on their website helps and the locals in the Medina were able to guide us, too) and it's a different side of Rabat that introduced us into the beautiful, serene (at least by Fes and Marrakech standards!) Medina. The rooftop terrace was beautiful and breakfast quite nice. The only thing I'd add is to echo the other poster's comment that a shower curtain would be nice -- the bathtub is gorgeous, but hard to use without getting water everywhere. But when that's the main thing I can find to improve, you know you're talking about a pretty fantastic place! Looking forward to our next stay in Rabat!

“Hard to find but great for someone looking to stay IN Moroccan style.”

Dar El Kebira

If you book this well hidden but great guest house then make sure you don't come by car as you'll have a hard time to find it yourself. If you still do then you better get a proper map before.

Once you're there, you'll love it if you want to experience a nice, small, but very special Moroccan guest house right in the very heart of the souk area and old town.

Great is also that the location makes it possible to discover the most interesting parts of Rabat without a car, the only little challenge will be to find parking nearby.

Just one more comment, if you are a 'one fits all' kind of a 'home away from home' seeker - don't bother to go there it's everything other than that but a true Moroccan experience for the ones who look for something truly unique which makes the experience even without 5* a luxurious one.

“They really make you feel like home”

Dar El Kebira

5 of 5 stars

We - my wife, our 2.5yr daughter and I - stayed at Dar El Kebira for 3 nights over the weekend and just loved the place. We were a little bit verexpecting from Rabat but this hotel really made us feel so welcome and like we were staying at old friend's house. It is indeed an oasis in the place. Special thanks to hotel manager Amina - I've never seen anybody in the hotel industry going that extra mile in everything. So if the price is reasonable for you and you want to spend a night or two in Rabat - this is the place. It is very conveniently located just minutes away from main shopping street in medina (Rue Consuls) but away from it so in a quite place.
We asked for a transfer from Casa - our plane arrived at 1am at night and we were met by their driver, all very professional, very welcoming, good new big chevy (oh no not the grand taxi type!), very relaxing journey to Rabat.
Our room was always kept clen - we though it was serviced whenever we left. They cook good food and really try to do anything up to your liking.
The bath is nice and traditional looking but no shower curtain and shower hook was a disappointment - but I'm not sure if shower curtain will fit with traditional look of the place. That was probably the only real "-" of the place.
