Al Borj

The rating is based on the price we paid. Meaning, had it been more expensive it would have been a 1 or 2 stars. Also keep in mind that in Rabat, you may pay double the price and not have way much better. The plus: Beds were good, clean sheets and comfortable. The AC was working in our room. The staff is really welcoming and kind. Know that anything that is not to your liking or you need, they will do all they can to make you happy. But you also have to understand the mean they are working with. Breakfast is included in the price. It’s a decent one. I would recommend not to go too late (less options). The food is ok (not great, not bad, for the price of the room) Lasty, and this is a big plus when you are in Rabat: plenty of “petits taxis” drive by so you don’t have to wait too long and to return they all know “Oscar Hotel” so you don’t have to explain where you are going. The room we were in (facing the side street) was fairly quiet (hard to find in this area of Rabat) The cons: They don’t give you a floor mat i. The bathroom. We had to ask for a small towel to out on the ground. The bathroom is extremely out dated. It’s clean, but it doesn’t look like it. Really set low expectations (no place to put your items, bottom of toilets color is questionable, mold in the shower), yet they clean. You just have to consider it like the bathrooms at the public swimming pools (you just shower and go) They have 2 elevators but some reason only one of them stops on the 5th floor.

This riad is a gem. Our room was huge, clean and very comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly, even bringing us a wonderful bottle of wine with nuts and chips on our first of two nights. It was all very comfortable and I would recommend this riad.
