Riad Jbara

In the medina in Rabat. Classic riad, very nice (our room a little less, but nothing terrible), all in all we spent a good night. Very good breakfast served in the morning, the owner very kind and helpful.

It does not correspond to what was described, it does not accept credit cards with the excuse that the POS does not work. The rooms are really worn out, they do not make the beds and do not change the towels, only on request and for an extra fee, they do not provide hair dryers and the traditional soaps and shampoos that they provide everywhere in the world, there is no air conditioning and the WiFi does not work well, my room does not even have a window. The shower has no tray and floods the entire bathroom, including the toilet. The electrical system is outside of any plausible safety standard, without sockets only a triple that connects everything, without space to charge cell phones. The access door does not close properly. In the upper rooms, they put two separate beds attached to the sink in a kitchen. With a strong smell of cats. The only positive note is the breakfast, traditional and abundant. It is not clear if they are just backwards or if they are pretending. The country is running fast towards the future, they remain as Morocco was many, many years ago, theirs is not a real Riad, but an old family home renovated by themselves with recycled material, maybe some are fascinated by it. I think that most of the reviews are not original. Seen on other sites they are always the same positive ones with the same people and photos. The presentation photos are very well done but the reality is very different. They are not professionals, very improvised and malicious. They do not want to, but this is what we have experienced. I have been frequenting Morocco for forty years..

Jbara, the owner, was very kind and always available for any need. As soon as we arrived he offered us a tea, prepared by one of his daughters, and he hand-drew a map of the city and the itinerary that he thought we should do to best tour Rabat. The structure is very beautiful with a huge terrace where you can relax, read, have a tea or chat inside two structures with sofas, armchairs and beds. Spacious room with double bed and mezzanine with two more singles, it was a bit hot as there is no air conditioning but there is a fan if necessary. Definitely recommended!
