This place has a lot of potential for improvement. It’s a nice location, and the staff is friendly. However, there are a few issues:
1. There’s no phone in your room that you can use to contact the front desk.
2. There’s no 24/7 front desk staff.
3. The bed doesn’t have a comforter; it only has a thin bed sheet.
4. The bathtub is dirty and clearly not cleaned.
Overall, I don’t think it’s worth the price and 4*, more like a 3*
The staff at Riad el Maati are lovely. They are keen to chat and help.
It is a small place, so movement across the riad with larger cases is tricky as it had chairs/tables at each corner.
Breakfast was lovely and a real highlight of this riad. It was different each day and nice to experience different Moroccan breakfast items.
Rooms are on the smaller size (compared to similar in Fes and Marrakech) but the air conditioning works a treat and WiFi is good too.
Our stay was particularly nice due to the staff - the ladies who served breakfast and Ahmed on the front desk whom we had a lovely conversation with and helped us with our room late in the night! The room was spacious and good amenities
It was lovely hidden place in medina.
Loved modern Riad style interior and courtyard. Staff were very nice.
The water pressure for bath was low ? and very slow to fill the hot tub…
The breakfast was really nice.
This was an incredible place to stay in the Medina. The hosts were so nice and accommodating and the breakfast terrific. Would definitely recommend to others and will stay here again should I be in Rabat.
The space is beautiful both ancient and modern at the same time. We had the family room which worked pretty well for us. One bed is a loft so you need to be comfortable with stairs. The staff helped us get laundry done which unfortunately was pricey and slow but not the hotel’s fault. Breakfast was good, the location was fine, staff woke up early at 4 to see us off and arranged a driver.
Overall, a good place to stay in Rabat!
The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. The room itself was sufficient for our needs but we would have loved to have a bit more light inside the room.
The staff was fantastic! They walked us to a Hammam after we expressed interest and helped translate for us. Breakfast was great! The beds were comfortable and the AC worked perfectly.
The Riad is well located inside the medina, about 3 blocks from Bab Chellah. Room was clean and breakfast was basic traditional moroccan with fruit, bread, juice. It's not fancy, but the value/price relationship is very good.
Loved this riad. Within city walls (so have to walk a little, cars not allowed inside city walls) but was able to get someone to help with bags near taxi stand. Room we were in was spacious, clean with comfortable furniture and little outside space. Breakfast was included and excellent. Location was perfect.

Lovely property near to everything. Excellent staff and a big thanks to Anna the receptionist, hope the spelling of her name was correct, she was awesome and made our visit even better. Thank you! One area that could be improved on is with the room anmenties the drapes in our room covering the door, sink taps need replacement and the toilet needs looking at as it leaked off and on. Other wise a very nice property with a great meet and greet receptionist. Breakfast was awesome,
This hotel is unique in many respects!! It’s situated in the heart of the old city and surrounded by the market place. The hotel itself is beautifully created with old apartments with marble floors and modern designs, yet leaving the feel of its 60’s era. It is far from a typical hotel that brings the Moroccan culture to anyone looking to add a memorable experience to a getaway or vacation. Rooms are clean! Beds are comfortable. And the staff is soft spoken and caring. The only improvement needed is better lighting in the courtyard at night. This hotel deserves 5 Star ratings in its own respect!
The Riad El Maati is traditional and yet modern and functional inside the room. It’s an easy 20 min walk from the train station. It has electrical outlets in the right places, plenty of wardrobe shelves, and built-in wall heaters. The terrace deck is stunning too. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating, such as for extra blanket. Flexibility with breakfast schedule on departure day. A few improvements could be a bath mat as the shower has no doors on 2 sides so the surrounding floor will always get wet. Google map direction to the Riad is incorrect but luckily we were able to find it on our own
The package comes with breakfast and they asked me what time I would like to have breakfast, i told them 8am. They said ok. When i woke up, no one was at the kitchen preparing the breakfast. I had to forgo the breakfast as i have a train to catch at 927am.
Else the room is nice and clean.
Beautiful, clean and tidy. Even had little cookies and water waiting for us there. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Got a classic hammam/gommage done and felt very relaxed afterwards.
One of the best stays in Morocco during our trip. Staff was absolutely fantastic and breakfast was the highlight of the day. Warm and personable staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived.
