The Riad Kalaa is situated in the heart of the medina in Rabat. Built in 1815, it offers eleven rooms and suites (four '1000 Perfumes' rooms, three Saharan suites, three Oriental suites, and one Starry suite). Originally a Kasbah from the Almoravid dynasty built by Emir Ben Tachfine on the banks of the Bou Regreg River, the Riad Kalaa was rediscovered in 2004. Following extensive restoration using traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, the Riad now offers modern comforts alongside its unique architecture. Guests can enjoy the Andalusian courtyard, 400 m² of terraces with a swimming pool, a hammam spa, and a traditional Moroccan restaurant, all contributing to an intimate and restful ambiance.

Guest scores & sentiment

From 80 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-21

Guests consistently praise the riad’s prime Medina location, stunning traditional architecture, friendly staff, and excellent dining. The overall experience is highly rated, though some visitors note thin soundproofing and nighttime noise. Occasional cleanliness or maintenance details in certain rooms could be improved. Navigating the historic alleys with luggage and finding the entrance may also require patience.
