In the heart of the ancient walled city of Salé, this historic riad has great views of Rabat and Kasbah Oudayas. Enjoy the sunset from the rooftop garden and lounge area. The rooms are beautiful, and the owner is very hospitable. I strongly recommend eating in at night at least once; the food is stellar! You won't regret it. And make time for a good Moroccan breakfast, too. A La Belle Étoile is centrally located, and easy to get to by taxi from Rabat Airport (use the small yellow taxis) or from Salé Train Station. The little shopping streets of Salé and the market, the beach with its fish market, and the Bouregreg Marina are all in easy walking distance, as is the tram into the central Rabat. You will find plenty to enjoy. I' prefervthis location to Rabat across the water. I'm definitely coming back.

Take something warm if you're watching the sunset from the roof garden in the autumn or winter..Expect fog. It's beautiful to watch it roll in from the Atlantic, but have your supper under canvas in the atmospheric longe on the roof to keep warm in winter or cool in summer. I had to work online while staying here, and the lounge was a very comfortable workspace with good Internet. You can't do this from your room. The rooms are excellent for resting and sleep, not work. If you can, choose a room without exterior windows for the best night's sleep, especially if you are a light sleeper. Exterior windows let in light, but also some noise. I slept wonderfully. Perfect.

The host Rita was exceptionally friendly and could not have been more helpful sorting out personal matters. The riad is ideally situated within minutes of local restaurants and shops and it takes 10-12 minutes to walk to the pier where you can cross the river to Rabat on a small rowing boat or to the tram stop. A freshly prepared Morrocan breakfast is served on the terrace, with a fantastic 360 degrees view of the Oudayas across the Bou Regreg river, of the sea and of Salé town and Rabat. The Fès room was very clean, quiet and spacious, with a large and comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom.

the Riad is very beautiful and the host is lovely and is positioned close to the beach (5-10 min to the beach)

the wifi was down due to a network problem and the location is a bit far from Rabat city. You can use only taxis to get there or you can go by foot in a 40 min walk on a very busy bridge (where you can’t breathe properly)

Beautiful traditional riad really close to the Salé beach. It's located very conveniently to get to Medinas of both Rabat and Salé. The host was really great and helpful, and we totally enjoyed her breakfasts. The rooms were always sparkling clean and cozy. Thank you so much!

Safae was a charming hostess. Her breakfasts and the one dinner we had were excellent. The rooftop view was stunning.

Had difficulty finding a nearby restaurant on the first evening and were glad that Safae offered to cook dinner on the second evening.

This Riad feels stopped in time. I gorgeous, it makes you wonder continuously about it’s past… Is one of the most beautiful riad I had the pleasure to stay. Very high cealings, beautiful tile work that feels like the original one. We also liked that thanks to this Riad we discovered Sale. I’m glad it was affordable enough to see how beautiful this building is.
