We stayed hotel for 3 nights but what I can say definitely it is not 5 star. I am a frequent traveller and never come across a 3 start place claiming to be 5 Star. Here are negatives 1. The place is in Narrow Street of madina and one cannot carry luggage via car or taxi. If taxi drops you... More

My family of 11 stayed at this riad in December 2012. We enjoyed our stay very much. The restoration of the facility was excellent and the sleeping rooms were just fine. The furnishings were charmingly old. We also had an excellent dinner, with good service, although we had difficulty in communicating in English with some of the staff. The staff... More

Tops the list for management with attitude, rooms with mildew, dirty showers, and high price. It only took 5 phone calls from a local person and over an hour to get the Riad to send someone for help and direction. The rest you can imagine!!!

My wife and stayed at Dar El Kebira in Rabat in May 2013. We LOVED it. The riad is located inside the Medina and is perfectly located for exploring the Kasbah and the souks. The restored building is beautiful, with courtyard replete with fountain, beautiful artwork, Morocco handpainted furniture, gorgeous wood doors. The room was small (European standard) but beautiful... More

This Dar has been carefully restored, and shows great attention to period details. Some of the interiors are a bit too Berge Follies Roaring '80s for my taste, and cleaner decor could let the bones shine. Nevertheless, this is a handsome home, a fine place to stay in Rabat, well-located near the Souk and the Fort, and a stone's throw... More

This is a charming place to stay in Rabat. There was good communication before arrival, and a car service from the Casablanca airport was arranged (though I was charged 10 Euros more than originally communicated). My first time in Morocco, and the Riad soon felt like home. The room where we stayed the first night had a musty smell, but... More

Dar el Kebira had a service that was not too bad. The problem is that most of the staffs speak only French, so we had a hard time communicating, though the staff were kind so we ended up speaking in pictures. There seemed to be mood swings in the staff though. Sometimes they completely ignored our "hi"s. Breakfast was good,... More

Arrived to a warm welcome by manageress Amina. Stayed in the Orangers room, great character, bed situated up on a mezzanine. Simple but good breakfast served by charming staff. Amina was extremely helpful with directions and recommendations for restaurants, shops, etc. There are several signs to the riad which is just a short way into the medina off Rue des... More

What a wonderful welcome after our long journey. Before we got to "business" we were greeted with Moroccan hospitality- sitting in an amazing courtyard and enjoying tea and sweets. The riad arranged for a transfer which was convenient as the driver took us as close to the riad as possible and then another person transferred us and our baggage through... More
