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.

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.

Beautiful hotel with kind staff. Everyone was very welcoming. We were brought up to our room which was clean and spacious. They had an elevator which helped my elderly mother. They also had a nice terrace overlooking the city. It is very walkable to major cites and in a quiet and safe area. Breakfast is offered. I highly recommend.

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.

I stayed here on my own (pension-age woman) and was delighted by the care shown by the host, the friendliness and the service. nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent. 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.

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
