Riad Sidi Fatah Reviews

Nice accomodation. The breakfasts were lovely and very filling. The staff were very knowledgeable. Nice rooms with comfortable beds. I would recommend 'le dhow' for meals and drink. This is situated near the harbour. Other restaurants are available with traditional Moroccan food.

Beautifully fully restored Riad in the heart of old town. Great service, room was large with phenomenal decor, and breakfast was everything you needed. Great value. A would highly recommend staying here as an introduction to Morocco. We jumped off the plane at Casa Blanca and stayed our first night here :)

The room was so beautiful with a opulent ceiling and traditional morrocan decor. Water was hot and the heating in the room worked well. This is a small family run place so it’s homey rather than fancy but the family was so lovely and kind to us. They made us a great breakfast and were always present if we had questions. They even made us tea late at night before bed!

Riad Sidi Fatah is one of the first raids you come across in the Rabat Edina. If you need to find it, flow the Main Street (Sid Fatah) down to the right turn option that has ‘Restaurant’ with a right arrow painted on it. They have a large wooden treatment on the door, and an intercom button to push. Which mainly works.. The place has charm, the beds (we had 2 different rooms over 2 short stays of 2 nights each) comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are tiny, and the shower sprays everywhere so make sure you do not leave your towels nearby. The silicone around our sink appeared to have been put on with a shovel, it was messy and peeling. We visited the terrace one time, it was okay but we mainly spent our time out of the Medina walking or visiting places. The lighting is ABYSMAL. The owners, who live in France, have heard about this but must be keen not to improve their rating. Just simply putting in warm lighting that has more than 2 footcandles would launch this riad into a 4 star rating. The switches are awkward, none at the bedroom door, several non functioning. The internet is sometimes dodgy. The staff are great and accommodating. Walid is especially helpful and knowledgeable. But the lighting is terrible.

I made a booking online for this hotel and payment has been taken but no email confirmation. I have emailed the hotel at least 10 times, no response. Called, no answers. Sent multiple whatapps to the phone number of the site and then been given another phone number to message the manager, they do not reply. I am SOOO worried I have been scammed as I cannot speak to anyone at the hotel and no confirmation.

Quiet and cozy riad, very good location in the Medina, clean rooms, great breakfast on the terrace. Friendly and helpful staff. Bathrooms a little small but tastefully furnished in Moroccan style. Definitely worth a try!

Very good value for money. Small traditional riad with lots of charm and very welcoming and smiling staff. Pretty rooms and beautiful double flowered terrace. Very good 3 night stay with a great location in the heart of the medina and souks.

Not only did they charge me a higher amount than the one confirmed by booking (162 euros on booking, charged 2011 dirhams which are 180 euros), but and above all they left me OUTSIDE the door and I had to sleep in the car park inside the car! I went out in the evening around 11pm to go and find a pharmacy and I was late. I then returned during the night and NO ONE opened the door for me. I went back to the door three times, called them, rang the bell, etc., but no one was there. WORSE yet, they didn't want to refund me anything, justifying that it was my fault for not having said I was going out! ABSOLUTELY DISHONEST PEOPLE. I had asked for the keys to be able to return but they don't leave them to customers saying that there is always a guardian who opens. But it was not so. However, even if due to some rather serious mix-up they don't open the door and force their customers to sleep in the car park... at least they get a refund! They are dishonest people. Furthermore, the photos are much more beautiful than reality. the rooms are tiny and there is a bad sewage smell. This riad is to AVOID believe me.
