Excellent stay at Dar Kika Salam in the center of the old city of Rabat. Convenient and close to various historic sites and the medina.
Abdel and the rest of the staff were welcoming and hospitable, and they did their best to accommodate.
Try the Moroccan tea and pastilla!
Breakfast is adequate (yogurt and the coffee were excellent).
Showers are hot and I found the room comfortable, even in early winter. Very cozy coverlet on the bed.
Staff also agreed to hold my bags after check out.
As with all riads- this is a renovated, historic home so do prepare to hear other guests entering and exiting rooms throughout the day/night (earplugs came in handy).
Hope to stay here again next time I am in Rabat.

It is a small hotel and doesn’t offer much facilities as listed. Even I would not rate it being 4star but less than 3 stars.
No Spa, and swimming pool isn’t tidy nor maintained. you can stand but not swim. No dressing or shower for the swimming pool.

The only service they do well so the breakfast which is freshly made in the kitchen and they bring it over to you

What a beautiful Riad experience. We loved our room, except the A/C was leaking due to condensation. But other than this, everything is perfect! Abdul is very nice and very helpful. My daughter and I felt safe navigating the inside streets. This Riad is close to the Medina and the Beach. They are close to a wonderful restaurant that we tried per Abdul's recommendation. Breakfast is served at the top roof terrace with a panoramic view of the city. Very nice!

Beautiful property in the old town with good sized rooms and a great breakfast. It is an old building but central to the beach and the new town. The staff were really helpful and views from the terrace whilst having breakfast were great as well. Rabat itself is a lovely place to visit and not really highlighted in comparison to the other more famous cities.

Ok

The riad décor is beautiful as all raids are. The location is great right in the edge of the medina. The shower in my room was broken so it could not stay up on the holder and the hose had leaks so water sprayed everywhere and the door didn't shut so water got all over the bathroom floor every time I showered. I'd say this is more of a three star hotel, not four. The staff was kind and welcoming. It was nice to have an elevator. The wifi was not strong enough to take a work call so don't plan on working from here.

We were never greeted or welcomed by anybody official like we were with ALL the other Riads and Hotels. At This Dar Kika Salaam. The ONLY worker by the name of Hisham was extremely kind picked up our luggage and brought it into our room, Nobody else from the staff ever greeted or met with us. Hisham is the ONLY worker in the Riad doing everything from serving us breakfast. We and other few guest did NOT see anybody else other than Hisham for 3 days we stayed there. Our bathtub had a broken shower bracket and NO place to hang it, The sink in the bath tub had several cracks,the chair in the living room was broken. We saw coakroches in the bathroom. I wonder what would have happened IF Hisham, the ONLY worker was not there? We are thankful for Hisham who assisted us and managed to do his very best to show us the hospitality.

The riad is just within the medina but easy access to the street so it's convenient. The tile work and stone fret work in this riad are very beautiful.

Understand that if you stay here it's a few hundred years old and not fully modern. The showers, for example, are tiny. Many Americans would not be able to squeeze into the shower!

This could be a great Riad if the owner would invest some money to put curtains on windows, make the showers standable, have a good hair dryer and an AC that works. The address is difficult for cabbies to find though it’s nicely located. Inside, it had all the trappings of a traditional Moroccan Riad. The best part was Ahmedlilah, a gem of an employee who managed everything with such honesty and devotion that’s hard to find. Only for him can we return here. The breakfast was good and the service was great.

The breakfast and dining room has lovely views across the city and the roof garden is nicely set up for sunbathing and relaxing. It's just inside the Medina so easy to walk out to the sea and the city walls or along to the market. I was very taken with Rabat generally-everyone was friendly and helpful. I thought the Riad was great and excellent value and would definitely go again

Delightful DKS

First of all, Dar Kika Salam by DKS is stunning--everywhere you look, it's beautiful. The views from the rooftop terrace are spectacular. The staff is very helpful, gracious and accommodating. The breakfast is ample and fresh. The location is terrific because it's within walking distance from super restaurants, touristy things, the river walk/wharf area and the ocean. There's also a nearby taxi station. If I come back to Rabat, I would stay here again.

We highly recommend staying at a riad in the Medina. The Dar Kika Salam is very well situated near the Kasbah Udayas and close to the main shopping in the Medina. The property is a cultural gem. The staff is fantastic! Pleasant personalities, extremely helpful, engaging and draw you back to the riad should one ever re-visit Rabat.

We had a wonderful experience at Dar Kika. The riad is situated conveniently right at the entry of the medina and near the riverfront. They took such good care of us and even assisted us in finding a reputable local car rental agency for our road trip beyond Rabat. We highly recommend this lovely riad to anyone visiting Rabat and looking for an authentic Moroccan medina experience.

We enjoyed our stay! Wassam was very helpful, even helped us negotiate the cost of our boat ride across the river. The room was nice, bathroom and shower pretty small and the rooms are noisy due to the proximity to the Medina. The roof top area is beautiful, a great place to relax and enjoy the view of the city! All in all a great stay.

This Dar is in an excellent location very close to the Kasbah in a very quiet area with great views of the river and even part of the kasbah. The place is clean and we had a great service when we dine there on our first night ( the young gentleman that serves you dinner was a fantastic and 5 star server). Food was pretty good ( breakfast and one dinner)
Now to the not so good feedback ( and I always try to be balanced and not complain about small things): there does not seem to be any real service in this place, nobody told us breakfast hours and even the dinner booking looked like it happened by chance ( I believe they might be changing management based on other much better reviews?). Upon checkin our room did not have towels or hand soap, I had to go and tell them ( ok, it might happen), one of the night table lamps was not working and neither the hair dryer ( I advised them and they fixed the lamp, but the hair dryer never came back); the shower head was leaking and the hose was too short to be placed on the wall support so we had to hold it while having a shower; the bathtub was painted and part of the paint is peeling. This is not a deluxe guest house as they advertise. They also indicate in their ads in booking sites that they provide robes ( that is not true). Last, we asked for a car to drive us to the train station and we were told that they will accompany us to get a taxi; the next morning, they left us at the door telling us to walk and get a taxi at the corner

Great Riad well placed and beautiful. Breakfast was amazing, staff was super friendly and picked us up to carry our luggage abs same when we left. The only issue was that there was only one bed so one of my daughters had to sleep on a sofa, which was not down for sleeping. I wish the description was clearer when I booked.

Perfect location, walking to all historic sites and a beautiful riad perfectly restored. Crisp clean new sheets, very comfortable space, stunning perfectly intact tilework, the photos do not do it justice. And a terrace that commands the river and a miles-wide view of the madina. So happy that I booked this delightful place for my family's first Moroccan experience. The staff was so thoughtful and attentive and kind. Bravo Dar Kika Salam!

Very Clean and well maintained Riad!!!
Amazing homemade food !!!
I want to commend Aziza and Abdelilah for their warm welcome and world class customer service, we were immediately greeted by Aziza upon arrival and she did set us up with very traditional cozy spacious room !!!
Abdelilah was very kind to help us carry our luggage from the car to the Riad.
Then, comes the welcoming Moroccan hospitality where we were offered complimentary traditional Moroccan tea & tasty cookies as gesture of kind welcome!
I will definitely recommend this Riad to my friends In the USA and family !!!
Keep up the great work !!!

My stay was pleasing and comfortable. The Riad is well situated close to the Kasbah and shopping in the Old Medina.

My only complaint is that there was an accident with the shower nozzle, it separated from the hose and caused a little flooding. Staff was quick to replace shower head but left the mopping up to me. Very minor inconvenience. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was in an excellent location to experience the Medina in Rabat. We really enjoyed our little taste of the Moroccan lifestyle. The riad was easy to access from the main road, but be sure to know where to tell a taxi driver to let you off. If you are unsure, contact the staff for directions. It is a very short walk when you know where you are going. The staff was amazingly friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. The rooftop patio provided great views over the medina and all the way to the ocean. It is a great view, day or night. The traditional style riad made our first days in Morocco a great experience. I would highly recommend this .

Amazing boutique hotel near the Kasbah!

This place was amazing. Beautiful small hotel with a stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the Medina. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. They greeted us with sugar dates and mint tea while we waited for our room. And the complementary breakfast was wonderful. It is very walkable, located just inside the Medina, across the street from the Kasbah. Don’t think about it, just book it. You’ll be glad you did.

Poor experience

It was our fist Riad to stay in Morocco, and we were pretty exited. Everything was nice and the person who welcomed us was friendly. Unfortunately in the morning they asked us to pay additional 30 EURO for our daughters breakfast. Since only 2 breakfast were prepaid with out reservation. This was a shocking amount! What kind of breakfast you will provide for this money? And we are in Morocco! We kindly refused, and said she will not eat! What a surprise it was when they served the breakfast!!! Half an egg omelet, 2 pieces of bread, one little piece of butter, and yogurt in a shot glass. This will cost not more than $5 in any wealthy country! But probably cost less that a dollar in Morocco. After we already paid more than $100 for a reservation add additional $1 worth breakfast for a child can be a nice touch! Instead it felt like a rip off, and it left very poor impression of a overall experience.

Riad in Rabat

The experience was great. The place is very new and clean. We were there in off season so we were the only guest in this Riad.
The Riad is very decorated with tile and stained glass work. The management (Nabeel and Rajae) were very helpful in familiarizing us with the local places to eat and visit. We did not eat in the Riad except for breakfast which was not so great. (I think it was because we were the only guest).

The approach or the alley way going to Riad is vey clean and you can easily find this place because it has a name plate and number clearly visible. The security and safety is good. The staff in the Riad are fluent in English, French and Arabic.

This Riad is located in a central place, walking distance from the Kasbah, beach, Medina (local market of all types of products) and Hassan Tower. we walked to all of these places. The restaurants on the beach are mediocre but the environment is very good. People are friendly and helpful.

We highly recommend you to have this experience.
