Riad Baddi

I really enjoyed my stay at Riad Baddi. I stayed for 3 nights and was treated very well. The room was well appointed, quiet and exceptionally clean. The bathroom was adequate with as much hot water as I wanted. The riad itself has a kind of understated homeliness which I really appreciated. The staff were all attentive and polite and helped answer my questions on many occasions. The breakfast was superb and although there wasn’t much choice; it provided me with everything I needed for the day and was served in a lovely salon. Despite being tucked away in Sale, it was no bother to get a taxi anywhere and the train station in Sale was only a km away. Be prepared to walk with your luggage a few hundred meters as the riad is not accessible by car. Overall I was highly recommend a stay here for a traveller who is watching their budget and wants to feel safe and well cared for.

very good

A beautiful Riad set in the hearth of the Medina. This hotel feels like home and beautifully designed which kept all of its traditional values. Breakfast is beautiful. I had the best nights sleep in a good while. The knowledge the staff shared in regards to shared taxis and local amenities was appropriated. Will visit again.

The staff are what makes this place good. The 4 staff I met during my stay were great - helpful and kind. They could not do enough for me. Mohammed arranged a private tour of Rabat; every tourist should give this a go. The Riad itself is mesmerising but in a bad state of disrepair, so please do not expect luxury. It does however have a lot of history so if you don’t mind disrespair but want to stay somewhere authentic this is the place to try. The single room was ok but I decided to upgrade for the last 2 nights to the suite as the other room was very small. For some people that would be ok, it was just a personal choice to go bigger. The Riad owners should however invest in repairs and fixing simple things like light bulbs and shower handles. It’s a shame they don’t do this. The breakfast was very good; tasty and fresh. The ladies who make it are so friendly. The food on offer was repetitive but as it is a free breakfast there is nothing to really complain about. Every day fresh natural omelette, breads, cheese triangle, spreads, orange juice and tea/coffee. There are no restaurants close by so you need to travel out of the area but there is a good take away coffee place called Bab Chaafa 2 minutes walk. The staff there are very friendly. There are a couple of local tuc-style shops that sell a variety of snacks and I used the one near Bab Chaafa because the old man was honest and his products varied and fresh unlike the other shop diagonally across it. Thank you for a nice
