L'Alcazar

This is a beautiful and convenient place to stay in Rabat. The entrance is right by the street so our tour guide dropped us off directly in front of the riad and we didn’t have to walk a long way. Our tour guide preordered beef tajine with prunes for dinner before we arrived, and it was the best tajine we have had so far in Morocco. We also had Moroccan Za'alook Salad which was very flavorful and we scooped it up with the homemade bread. George served us dinner and spoke English well. Our room had a sitting area with a couch and the bathroom on the lower floor. The bed was up a flight of stairs, but there was no railing on the outside, so I was a bit nervous about waking in the middle of the night (thus the reason for the 4 rating). We left the bathroom light on to light our way in case we woke up. The bed was comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. Breakfast was filling - we had omelettes with yogurt and fruit and Moroccan pancakes.

Hotel standard for a 5* hotel, but it is far from this. Welcome and kindness are very good, rooms are nice, very cosy living rooms, but hairdrier was not working and was not changed, minibar is poor, swimming pool was closed as far as terrace was not working. No bar service at all, lunch not in the activities as far as restaurant for dinner. No a la carte menù. Not a 5* without restaurant and bar. I may close an eye on not having a spa or swimmingpool...but at least a bar should always be available. Last but most relevant, hotel declares to be in the mood of nature, so they keep a couple of little parrots in a cage in the livingroom, so tiny they cannot even fly. I asked if parrots may fly free at least once a day and reply was NO: "they poo and wee around...but we love animals! Tourists like them". I strongly doubt turisti select the hotel for parrocchiale and will not have a better esperienze from that during the stay ( a working bar should have a better effect). The ehole world is going in the opposite directory in banning zoos, in letting animals free and living as their nature is. THIS IS SUSTAINABLE, ETHICAL AND COMPLIANT, WHILE HAVING PARROTS DISPLAIED IN PUBLIC IN A CAGE IS ABOMINOUS, OLD FASHIONED AND CRUEL. THEY ARE IN JAIL AND HAVE DONE NORHING BUT BEING THEMSELVES: SINGING. This makes my esperience here quite poor and I hope these 2 parrots to be left free as Soon as possibile. THIS IS NOT NATURAL FRIENDLY, THIS IS FAR FROM MODERN CULTURE AND BY DEFINITION TO BLAME.

Bom ryad, muito bonito , nos quartos a cama fica acima do banheiro , apesar do ganho de espaço , eu não gostei , cama um pouco desconfortável , peça quarto com chuveiro pois alguns só tem banheira . Café da manhã bom servido em um bonito terásso , ao lado da entrada do mercado .

Uno de los alojamientos más preciosos, limpios, encantadores y cómodos en los que nos hemos alojado. Desayunos increíbles, personal amable y profesional, ubicación inmejorable y habitaciones enormes y bellamente diseñadas. ¡Y tiene piscina! Ha sido un pequeño paraíso para mí y para mi familia. Los niños no querían salir de allí.

Excellent séjour dans ce Riad magnifique. La décoration et le confort sont vraiment parfaits. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'amabilité de tout le personnel du Riad, extrêmement attentionné et aux petits soins pour les clients. Le Riad est idéalement situé, à deux pas de la Médina et de la Kasbah des Oudayas, et à 500m du bord de mer. Pratique également pour sortir de la ville en ballade, et garer un véhicule sur place. Nous recommandons vivement !
