A very comfortable Riad. Very well equipped room, with an electric kettle, a supply of good Moroccan tea. Wardrobe with hangers, working heater, clean sheets, towels changed daily. Comfortable bed. Very nice room decorated in Arabian style. WiFi works very well. The room had two patio windows and a private bathroom. A delicious breakfast was served daily. At the very top is a huge terrace with lots of greenery. You can smoke cigarettes on it. Service very nice and helpful, although it does not speak English well. But it's not a problem. The area is very safe and tourist friendly. The first evening a service lady led us to dinner at an Arabian restaurant. It was not budget, but I recommend to feel the Arabic atmosphere and eat very good Arabic dishes. The restaurant is called Dar Rbatia. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to feel the Arabic atmosphere and live in a typical Arabic home.

Beware of overbooking on rooms!
We booked the large family room since we were traveling with our 25 year old daughter, but when we arrived, we were informed that our room was overbooked. After a lovely cup of Moroccan sweet mint tea, we were still waiting and finally the owner called to apologize and have us follow his employee to a different Riad. The room offered to us was not a large family room which I paid for but they did then offer us two separate rooms. It was just disappointing because I specifically paid extra to book a large room as it was our first night in Morocco and wanted to have a nice experience. The second location was not as "fancy" and it was smaller. Thankfully the people at Dar Yanis were extremely nice and accommodating. But we read about the issue of overbooking rooms in Morocco and it happened to us twice, so beware!

Wunderschönes Riad in Rabat
Alles in allem war das Riad eine wunderbare Erfahrung und, zumindest für eine Person, ausreichend groß. Alles war sauber und prinzipiell funktionell. Nur die Geschwindigkeit des Wifi schwankte immer mal wieder. Das Frühstück war recht übersichtlich, aber frisch gemacht. Insbesondere der frische Orangensaft war lecker.

Not a good experience!
When I arrived they told me they were overbooked and moved me to a less Riad (hotel). Only because I was staying for 1 night, I didn't want to make a problem but what happened was totally unacceptable.

Petit Riad charmant. Situé à moins de 30 minutes de la gare à pied il est bien placé dans la médina. C’est calme et charmant. Le Riad est bien tenu, il y a une terrasse sur le toit, la personne qui fait l’accueil est vraiment

Amazing property, friendly hosts, and an attention to detail. The showers had black soap that is special to Morocco, and we had complimentary tea almost every night on the beautiful terrace. Highly recommend!

Tout ce qu on aime dans un riad est là :)
Un concentré de tout ce qu'on aime dans un riad. Personnel très sympathique, un patron aux petits soins qui vous donnera d'excellents conseils de restaurants...et Hammam à ne pas rater à quelques minutes à pied. Une maison d'hôtes coquette, charmante et Accueillante ou on se sent aussi bien que le matou qui y ronronne sur sa chaise.

Very nice and clean riad
We stayed for 1 night at this riad and very enjoyed our stay. The Riad is owned by the French, he welcomed us and give recommendations about all the places to visit. We had very heavy luggage, he helped us to carry them to taxi station. The Riad is very nice, comfortable and clean. We highly recommend it, and we would definitely stay here, if we come to Rabat again.

An exquisitely designed and well managed Riad
The design was exquisite. The breakfast was superb. Their lunch/dinner recommendation for eating out was perfect. The sisters running the Riad were extremely hospitable, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend Riad El Bir for anyone staying at Rabat.

Excellent rapport qualité/gentillesse/prix
Très bon emplacement dans quartier sûr. Gare accessible à pied, même avec une valise (à roulettes). Personnel à l'écoute et gentil. La table du soir était très bonne pour un prix raisonnable. Riad charmant et calme mais les muezzins sont très dynamiques à une heure bien matinale pour nous... une vraie chorale en canon ! ;)) Dommage que la chambre soit borgne, on aurait aimé une petite fenêtre. Bilan très positif, nous avons passé 3 jours bien agréables.

Riad difficile da trovare. Servizio poco presente.
Il riad si trova in una stradina appartata e molto sporca, al nostro arrivo sembrava che non ci fosse nessuno ad attenderci. La stanza non era pronta anche se era pomeriggio ed in qualche modo è stata preparata . Ci hanno dato un asciugamano x tre persone, i letti erano scomodi ed avevano uno strano odore . La colazione è stata discreta . In generale ci ha dato un impressione di abbandono, il secondo giorno è stato meglio anche il servizio , hanno cambiato i letti con lenzuola meno usurate e ci hanno dato 3 salviette. In generale non lo consigliamo.

Lugar muy acogedor y tranquilo. Recomendable!!
El personal es muy amable y atentas, llegamos bastante tarde en la noche debido a retrasos en el vuelo y nos ofrecieron un té con dulces tipicos marroquies como recibimiento, además nos proporcionaron información sobre restaurantes donde ir, lugares que visitar, casas de cambio... El desayuno que ofrecen está riquisimo y el lugar es muy tranquilo. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

They requested at the very last minute at our checkout to pay $50 dirham for "TAX" even though we only stayed a night. We also paid some tips when we arrived. Is not nice to ask for money when we leave. We r in a rush and had to catch last train to Casablanca. The road was congested. We couldn't find taxi.
