The staff was excellent - attentive , courteous and helpful. The rooftop terrace- the sweeping views of the city, the waterfront - both morning and nighttime. Great breakfast served up there too.
Funky but stylist and modern rooms.
All in all- superb place to stay in Tangier.

Loved our stay

Excellent all round.
Staff were friendly and helpful , room was clean , beautiful rooftop bar also where breakfast is served . We stayed in Forbes suite which was lovely and had a corner couch suite. Views were facing inside the Riad.
It’s located in the heart of the Kasbah which is the old fort and just a stones throw from the Médina.

Dar Saba is a gem in the Medina. They arranged for a driver to pick us up from the train station which is important because getting to the Riad by car is not easy and not all cabs might find it.
The interior design of each room and corner is impeccable and elegant.
Breakfast at the rooftop terrace is a highlight.
The staff was wonderful and very helpful; Jawad not only recommended a great dinner restaurant, he took us there personally so we didn’t get lost in the winding alleys.
Highly recommend it if you are looking for a touch of elegance in the old Medina

Really enjoyed the stay. Nice and quiet, small place so you get good attention from the staff. Just make note of the square footage cause the small room was too small for us. There was a small issue with the ac in the room and instantly got bumped to the bigger room. Breakfast view, food and service was definitely 10/10 and warranted the higher than average price. Perfect stay for couples looking to tour the old medina.

Special shoutout to Jawad and Abdallah for their outstanding service!

A Magical Stay in the Heart of Tangier!\n

Riad Dar Saba – Saba’s House is an absolute gem in Tangier. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were welcomed like family. This place is more than just a riad — it’s a home filled with heart, warmth, and beauty.

The riad itself is stunning — every detail is thoughtfully designed with a perfect blend of Moroccan tradition and elegance. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, offering a true escape from the busy streets while still being just steps away from all the charm of the medina and the kasbah.

What truly made this stay unforgettable was Roya and her staff. Her kindness, generosity, and attention to every detail made us feel so cared for. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — fresh, homemade, and served with love on the rooftop terrace with a beautiful view of the city and the sea.

The rooms are cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. Every corner of the riad radiates warmth and authenticity. Waking up there felt like waking up in a dream — peaceful, inspired, and grateful.

If you are visiting Tangier, do yourself a favor and stay at Riad Dar Saba – Saba’s House. It’s not just a place to sleep — it’s a place where memories are made, where you feel welcomed and truly cared for. We left with full hearts and cannot wait to return!

An absolute gem

We stayed for 2 nights and had the most amazing time. It was my 60th birthday and the team at Saba's house could not have been lovelier or more accomodating. They arranged a wonderful birthday surprise with song, cake and balloons in reception - it was really above and beyond. The owner Roya is a lovely lady who cares for her guests . She has created a wonderful Riad close to the Kasbah, with beautifully decorated rooms and an amazing terrace with a view across the sea. This is a really , really special place with special staff. We will be back as soon as possible.

My stay at Dar Saba was simply delightful. I stayed in the Mick Jagger suite and it was so fun with thoughtful touches. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooftop view was stunning with a cocktail at sunset. Such a great, convenient location for restaurants, shopping and history. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

This is the place to stay while visiting Tangier. The location is perfect for exploring the Medina, museums and walking distance to restaurants. We wanted to be right in the thick of things, so stayed away from the big hotel chains near the train station. You walk out the door and feel transported in time. The riad itself is gorgeous with a stunning collection of artwork and extremely nice and helpful owner and staff. Abdullah greeted us and arranged a car to take us to Chefchouen. Zechariah was so helpful as well as all the staff. Roya, the owner, gave us great advice about what not to miss. We did not get a guide, preferring to wander around ourselves and take it all in. We felt very safe.
The breakfast experience was amazing——loved all the Moroccan breads and pancakes.
My only advice is to visit this lovely country when it’s not Ramadan. We feel we missed out on the normal buzz of activity and food. Most tea houses were closed during the day and there was no street food, completely understandable as everyone fasts all day. Can’t wait to come back!

Saba's House Felt Like My House

Tangier has immense beauty and a storied history of artists and writers and explorers. Saba's House seems to touch on all of it. The riad was built in a small neighborhood bordering the Kasbah next door to some of the most expensive homes in Tangier as well as some of the most modest. Footsteps from very Cafe Baba and the Grand Soco, you are instantly swept up by the salty air and carried through winding alleys of shops, fruit stands, and restaurants specializing in local sea food. After a day spent walking the western coast of Cap Spartel you can saunter back to Saba's House and maybe catch a glimpse of the sunset from the impressive roof deck with panoramic views of the port and the largest beach in Tangier. Or perhaps you will be lucky enough to meet the elegant owner of the property and chat over a game of cribbage and glass of wine about how Saba's House came to be. Each room is named according to a Tangier legend which makes the entire property feel like a history lesson. I can't imagine staying anywhere else, unless it was my own home.

This property and staff is the GEM of our trip so far. It is delightful in EVERY way. From the moment we were greeted and our bags were whisked up the path for us we felt treasured. Every step inside is artfully created and so cozy. Our room had everything we needed and was beautifully designed in local vintage and beautiful colors. Art is placed through the entire space. The breakfasts on the peaceful rooftop were feasts and so artfully prepared. The bonus is the staff who took care of our every need with such care and always with a smile. They went overboard to be sure our stay was memorable and comfortable. This will be our go to on our next trip. Wonderful!

Incredible Service!

We travel quite a bit and the best hotel service we have ever received was during our recent stay at Riad Dar Saba - Saba’s house in Tangier Morocco. The staff were incredible…the answer is yes now what’s the question? This is a small boutique hotel with only six rooms. We stayed in the “Elizabeth Taylor room” which had a very comfortable bed, in-room safe, small fridge and a great shower. The free breakfast is served each morning on the rooftop patio and is absolutely incredible! The hotel also has a small bar and comfortable sitting area. Saba’s house is about a one minute walk to the Kasbah area overlooking the ocean near Bab Al Bahr, several museums and several great restaurants. The hotel is about a five minute walk to the Petit Socco shopping area. If you are unsure about navigating the confusing matrix of small roads, alleyways and passageways, one of the helpful hotel staff members will be happy to show you the way! I can’t adequately describe how incredible the service was! We would seriously consider returning to Tangier just so we can stay at this amazing hotel. Thank you so much to Abdellah, Mehdi and all the other staff members who made us feel so at home.
If you are going to be in Tangier - stay here!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Saba's House in Tangier. Set in the heart of the Casbah, the riad offers a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of Tangier. Great restaurants and not-to-miss sites are just footsteps away, the interior design is tasteful and stunning, and the rooftop patio offers a great view of the Medina and port. Even more amazing is the staff. They were totally attuned to our every need, welcoming us with a cup of mint tea, supplying us with water on our journeys into the Medina, escorting us to the port on our departure, and other little courtesies to numerous to mention. One of the highlights of our trip was a guided tour of Tangier provided by Rida Bonab. Thanks to the team at Saba's House and to Rida for making our stay in Tangier a memory for a lifetime.

Roya has created an incredibly unique Riad located in the heart of the Tangier Medina. Each room has its own theme, ours was Malcolm Forbes. The staff in friendly and attentive and even guided us in our car from the harbor thru the Medina to find Saba's house. Roya spent an hour with us giving us great, local advise on restaurants, shopping and other experiences. All and all a very satisfying experience.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful Riad for 2 nights at the end of our week in Morocco. Although this riad is small, with only 6 individually themed rooms, it is big on personality and service. It is located in the heart of the medina and has a roof top lounging and dining area with views of the city and the sea. Every single member of the staff, including the manager, concierges, and wait staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had an amazing stay. Although they don't offer lunch or dinner at the riad, there is a bar, and the included breakfast is made to order and absolutely delicious. The manager recommended an incredible restaurant for dinner that was only a 5 minute walk away and made our reservations. If you ever travel to Tangiers, do yourself a favor and stay at Saba's House (and make sure to eat at Club Morocco for dinner)!

First the good. It’s a lovely hotel with an owner and staff that go above and beyond in every way. Some of the best and most personal service I have experienced in years. The rooftop view over the Medina to the ocean is beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic. The small dinner menu is outsourced to a local restaurant and is very good. Now the bad. Outside the hotel - in the Medina, I was relentless stalked by wannabe guides and touts. After shaking one I could barely go 5 minutes before the harassment began again. It was extremely unpleasant. One pair was even positioned outside my hotel in the morning, waiting for me to enter the street The city really needs to address this issue before more tourists are driven away from this fascinating city.
