I had a truly wonderful stay at Riad Dar Soufa. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who were not only friendly but also incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The riad itself is beautifully maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere and tasteful Moroccan decor that really adds to the charm. My room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location is right in the medina, yet very quiet at night. It was easy to explore the main attractions of Rabat on foot. Breakfast was one of the highlights — generous, fresh, and delicious, served with care on the rooftop terrace. It was a lovely way to start each day. Overall, Riad Dar Soufa exceeded my expectations in every way. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rabat.

We had a wonderful one-night stay at Riad Dar Soufa in December 2024. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful, arranging a cab from Casablanca airport and providing excellent tips on exploring Rabat. Their recommendation for a traditional Moroccan Hammam was a highlight of our trip—an unforgettable experience! The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of fresh and tasty items to start the day. The riad’s location is perfect—you step right into the vibrant Medina, making it easy to immerse yourself in the local atmosphere.

The only challenge was reaching the riad, as cars are not allowed inside the Medina, meaning we had to walk quite a bit on cobbled streets with our luggage. However, the overall experience, warm hospitality, and unique charm of the riad made it well worth it.

We were met from the taxi with balloons (we’d recently married) and accompanied to the Riad where we were welcomed with typical Moroccan tea and biscuits which was a lovely touch. Location was great, up a quiet lane in the Medina and within walking distance of the train station and the seaside. Breakfast was fantastic, lots of fresh fruit and yogurt, squeezed juice, varied offerings of breads pancakes and croissants. Staff were very pleasant and most helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend 😊

They provided the best breakfast of our stay. It was plentiful, different every day but always included fresh fruit, yoghurt, freshly pressed orange juice, tea/coffee, variety of bread/pancakes, honey, olives etc. They had the best tea and welcome biscuits of our Moroccan journey! There is a lovely roof terrace. Our room was very comfortable. In all respects, the staff were very helpful.

The bathroom is divided from the main room by a heavy curtain. It rained heavily on one day and the inner patio became wet and slippery, despite a covering.

Riad was beautiful and spatious. Room was super comfortable and quite big. Services were perfect. Staff was increadibly nice and caring. We had a problem on the road on our way there and they were quite understanding. They made our life easier. They were very welcoming and they explained us all about the main attractions to visit in the city, as well as to get there. Location is good and very easy to get there. They were also very detailled on giving us instructions on how to get there and how to park nearby.

Everything was perfect.

The rooftop area is very relaxing and you can enjoy the sunset there. The room is spacious and clean. The receptionist Said is very friendly and helpful. I am a solo traveler with a huge suitcase. Unaware of the fact that there is no lift in a raid when I booked the room, I at first was worried about how I could bring my luggage up to the second floor. Said was very gentlemanly and carried my suitcase up to my room. Said also helped me with booking the train ticket to my next destination as I was unable to go to the ONCF website. After checking in, he showed me and the other travellers the ways to the points of interest nearby with a map of Rabat. The location of the riad is just a 5-min walk from the tramway and around 15-min walk from the Rabat ville train station.

The bathroom is dimly lit and there is only one rubbish bin in such a spacious room.

The room is cozy and comfortable. Also, the breakfast is really complete, with a lot of fresh fruit and local pastries. On top of it, Madwa (the owner) made sure all was good during our stay and made recommendations of places to visit and have dinner (which we followed and they were worth it)

Only downside that you may stumble upon is that there is no sound isolation from the rooms. But this is little to no problem, because there is always a quiet environment. Also, it is like this in every riad, it is just the architecture of the houses.

Beautiful accommodation within a 2 minute walk from the tram station. It is situated on a quiet street, directly off a bustling main street, with a good choice of restaurants/cafes and lots of vendors for snacks, drinks etc. 2 minute walk from the central market with some great cafes, overlooking the square, right next to the tram station. Breakfast was fantastic and all freshly prepared, including the bread. Rooms are cleaned daily and I really appreciated having some laundry done (additional charge). I also loved how eco-friendly Riad Soufa is as they refill glass bottles of shower gel & shampoo every day. *The tram is 6 dirhams per single journey. It is super handy for reaching Salé across the river (a perfect half day trip) and other key tourist attractions such as Tour Hassan, other medina gates etc. National contemporary arts museum was excellent and photography buffs will appreciate the national photography museum. You can reach both via taxi and probably tram too. The riad is a 10 minute brisk walk to the Kasbah, with lots of quaint white-washed houses; look out point to the sea, and the stunning Andalusian gardens. I went to the jewellery museum too and a pretty kaftan exhibition was included in the ticket. I have loved my stay in Rabat.

I did have some trouble finding this on arrival, but after that, it was very easy to navigate. If you have a Moroccan sim card (I didn't) then I'm sure it would be much easier to locate.

The Riad is very beautifully decorated and the room we had (actually two rooms linked on the patio) were very comfortable and spacious when travelling with kids. Guests also have access to a lovely terrace with great views and sunshine during the day and gorgeous sunsets. There was an electric heater in each room which was perfect in end December. The breakfast was amazing, with loads of different fresh breads, fruits, orange juice and home made jams. Our host was very helpful and available, and offered us a lovely welcome on the 1st day with tea and marocain sweets. The location is great as well, on one of the main alleys in the medina with great street food, and close to kasbah and other sites (easy to reach by nearby tram). Would love to come and stay there again.

If you want to sleep in, it might not be easy from this room as one hears the people at breakfast starting 8.30am. Not a problem for us as we are early risers.

It was way more than we expected. The room service was on point and the breakfast was super super good!! The staff was very helpful, helped us getting through the city and even accepted to wash our clothes, which was very nice. The rias is located near the Bab El Had parking which was perfect and not to expensive. Most of all, the riad was very quiet, and we slept very well.

Nothing, it was perfect.
