Not easily accessible, cars are not allowed anywhere near the Riad. Need to go through tiny streets and iffy stairs with luggages. Not an easy task specially at night and area does not seem very safe at night. Decided not to stay.

Overpriced for the location & amenities
The Riad is in approx 2 miles away from the Sale station. So, if you are visiting Rabat everyday, you need to spend at least 40 minutes on public transport, let alone the expenses. It's a nice, decent place to stay, staffs are helpful, with the usual amenities at your disposal. However, considering its location, I certainly think it's overpriced..

Riad Baddi in Old Sale Morocco (Review)
The hotel was very clean and we'll kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only down side was where the hotel was located, which was in a very narrow walkway with build nabouring buildings vertu ally on top of you as you enter and exit the hotel. The sounding area/nabourhood was quite run down but the locals were very friendly.

Crooked Rabat taxi drivers
The hotel was not only beautiful but very clean and comfortable, the staff cannot do enough for you in helpfulness. Hassan the weekend caretaker, personally travelled with me to go to a Carrfoure supermarket as arriving the previous evening at the airport I was ripped of not once, but FOUR times by Rabat taxi drivers who drove me around and around the city before passing me on to the next taxi, this was repeated FOUR times despite me giving them the riad phone number and they speaking to the raid manager for directions in their NATIVE language! Nice hotel but fiendishly difficult to find upon arrival and the taxi drivers are nothing short of criminal! A 10 km journey took 3 hours and 10 minutes!!

It was a nightmare! No AC ! Wifi not working I wanted to leave as soon as I got there but guess what no taxis available was forced to stay had no choice ! Staff could not speak English and when complained wanted to kick me out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere I'm very disappointed more with hotels.com for advertising it without checking it

Good riad but location hard to find
The hotel was ok but location was hard to find . The staff where helpful but English not so good. We went out late but staff member didn't ask or tell us that you shouldn't come too late in the morning because staff member works almost 24 hrs and had to wake to open door 2am he wasnt happy .
Response from RIAD BADDI on Jun 20, 2015
Dear Sir, Thank you for your comment , regarding the staff we are sorry that when you went back to the Riad , the man open the door and seemed to be not happy, The Riad Baddi is a small house and it's normal we don't stay awake all the night, most of the guest come back around midnight , it's written near the reception that if the guests have to come back late in the night they should warn the man and he doesn't work 24 hours but he lives there so once all guests are in the Riad , he has to close the door. We are sorry for the trouble you met. All the best

Very nice riad middle of Sale medina
We had this nice riad middle of Sale Medina for two nights. 10 minute walk from tram and as it's quite middle of medina, it was quite hard to find. Riad was very nice and good value for the money, but the area is probably least touristic place we visited. Service was almost too good. Asked in late evening, if there is a hammam close by that is still open => we got guided late night tour to local hammam that is open 24/7. Tried to find something eat at midnight when we arrived => got guided tour to local fast food places :)

Great inside, off the beaten path location
Unlike most hotels in the Rabat area, Riad Baddi is in the Sale medina, so it's a bit tougher to find and far away from the polished neighborhoods and wide avenues (which can be a plus or negative, depending on your view). Inside, it's in great condition with very nice design, well-kept rooms, and helpful staff. It's small (just 6 rooms), so it will have a home-like feel.

It was kind of impossible to find the hotel, although its close to old city but the narrow roads to the hotel were very dirty and smelling bad. we were asked at the night of arrival "by the only staff of the hotel" what time we need breakfast but the next morning no breakfast, in addition, we felt like we were jailed in a nice old house like ghost house. if you like to go there then visit for 1 hour to see old nice Moroccan art but not as hotel to stay overnight..
Response from RIAD BADDI on Nov 23, 2013
Dear customers,   First of all, we are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay in our Riad, but in response to your comment, we are not a hotel, but a Riad, you should know that a Riad is usually an old house located in a Medina and not a luxury hotel in a town, the streets are narrow, it is quite normal in all old cities, there are narrow streets. Riad Baddi is located in the heart of the Medina of Salé, this is an old house dating from the 17 th century and has its history, it is decorated with Moroccan art and it is not a ghost house as you describe it, unfortunately everyone's taste is different, many of our customers like our Riad and its paintings. About the breakfast it is normal that when you arrive they ask you what time you want take it, as we have explained, we are not a hotel but a Riad, you must know the différence.Best regards Riad Baddi

friendly staff, comfortable stay
I stayed for one night because I had to catch a plane from the rabat/sale airport at 7am and I'd been staying in Fez previously. The staff gave me tea and some snacks upon arrival, brought my bags up to my room, and arranged a taxi ride to the airport before 5am the next morning. Jawad, the overnight doorman/deskman made me a wonderful breakfast at 4:30 when I woke up and was really friendly. The staff spoke mostly French and Arabic, which could be difficult if you only speak English.

Quiet riad close to Rabat
A comfortable riad with lots of character inside the medina of Sale. About a 10 minute walk to Sale train station and tram stop for trips into Rabat. A quieter and possibly cheaper alternative to staying in central Rabat which can be reached in 15 minutes by tram.

Complicated to access and noisy
Once you find the place and after a 5 to 7 minutes walk in a labirynth you may find this hidden riad. The location is clean and the people are welcoming and provide with good service. However it's noisy at night, people speak loud, prayer around 5 a.m. and is shared through a speaker finally you'll deal witha rooster who think that morning start at 3 a.m. Even though the price is good you'll find better for the amount or less.

Close to the airport for a morning flight.
I arrived at 18h, left at 5h30 the next morning for an early flight. The riad is inside the Salé medina but close to the main bab so not hard to find. My room was quiet, had a window overlooking an (ugly) backyard. I did not use the shower but had a hamman on site for 200 dirhams for 1 hour. The single bed was comfortable. There was a TV I did not turn on. The train station Salé-Ville (not Rabat-Ville) is a 15 min. walk away, or 6 dirhams petit taxi ride. New trams run past the train station. I used the tram to see a little of Rabat, mainly the University area. 6 dirhams fare. The hotel arranged for a grand taxi for the airport for 150 dirhams (there seems to be no other way but the grands taxis) and provided an early breakfast of freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, bread, butter, jam, olives and a Moroccan crepe.

Amo il Marocco e la Medina di Salè è lo specchio di quella umanità viva, spontanea, mai artificiosa...Amo i colori di quei mercati poco turistici ma decisamete pittoreschi...Amo scambiare un sorriso ed un cenno di saluto con quella gente e scoprire che vale molto più di mille souvenirs. Ritornare al Riad Baddi e trovarlo notevolmente migliorato ed ancora più accogliente è stata una gioia indicibile. La mia camera è stata bellissima, pulita, comoda e degna di una pricipessa; la colazione buonissima ed abbondante, ed il personale disponibilissimo e sempre cordiale (grazie Nabil e Safae per aver reso speciale la mia breve vacanza!).Ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Riad perfetto e consigliatissimo per chi ha in programma escursioni Casablanca e Fez.

Leuke Riad niet bijzonder
Een Riad in Sale. In Sale verder niet veel te doen, in Rabat ben je zo met de taxi... kost ook niks. Verder is het een niet bijzondere Riad. Ziet er wel mooi maar het is allemaal wat oud. Wel een mooi dag terras. Het uitzicht is vooral over vervallen daken maar het is wel relax om daar te zitten

je suis arrivé à 22h le lendemain du jour prévu. La personne présente sur place n'à fait aucun commentaire, comme dans certains établissements. La chambre que j'avais réservée n'était pas libre, il m'à donner une chambre double pour la premiere nuit, il à procédé à mon enregistrement, de manière rapide, et j'ai pu tout de suite accéder à ma chambre. je suis arrivé avec beaucoup de bagages, il a tenu à porter lui même mes valises jusque dans ma chambre à l'étage!!! Le lendemain, il m'a donné la chambre que j'avais réservée. je suis resté un bon mois, et tout au long de mon séjour qui c'est très bien passé, tous le personnel, c'est toujours montré très sympa et serviable, à toujours été gentil, discret et professionnel !!! Pour ce qui est de la propreté des lieux, la qualité du service, les équipements, la sécurité des lieux et le rapport qualité/prix, j'ai envie de mettre une note d'appréciation de 8/10 Quant à l'emplacement, tout le monde ne connait pas, donc parfois un peu difficile à trouver.

Un Riad da favola per una principessa semplice...
Ero salita sul volo Ryanair , da Roma Ciampino per Rabat, senza avere la minima idea di quello che avrei trovato in Marocco: dovevo rimanere solo il tempo necessario per intervistare il cantante Alì Faiq a Visa for Music ed il mio leggerissimo bagaglio a mano ne era la prova tangibile. Il buio della sera inghiotte i miei pensieri ed alimenta le mie ansie mentre il taxi procede lento :perché mi ostino sempre a viaggiare da sola?! Sale, il cuore popolare di Rabat, sembra un documentario in bianco e nero privo si sonoro: i rumori delle automobili si fermano a Bab Chafaa e rapiti lampi di vita mi catapultano in uno realtà molto diversa da un hotel dai servizi standard e dai sorrisi affettati tipicamente europei. Annego la mia perplessità nel calore e nella dolcezza di un buon té preparato secondo la tradizione marocchina e servito in una piccola teiera d' argento.: è così che il Riad Baddi, con il suo ambiente preso il prestito da Le Mille ed una notte, mi dà il benvenuto...L' Hotel sembra quasi avvolto in un magico sonno. I miei passi e l' eco della mia voce risuonano tra la hall, le scale e bellissime sale. Una meravigliosa suit sembra volermi abbracciare e condurmi in una bella fiaba , ma la mia cameretta con il letto singolo mi riportano ad una comoda realtà e ad Wifi perfettamente funzionante. La preghiera del mattino dei musulmani saluta i sogni e la notte che stanno andando via ... Una gustosa colazione ed un sorriso mi donano la certezza che sarà un buon giorno.

Bei Eigenanreise sehr schwer zu finden. Bei Ankunft war niemand im Riad und wir mussten nach vermehrtem Klingeln lange warten, bis jemand kam, um zu öffnen. Das von uns reservierte Zimmer war vergeben und der Rezeptionist war etwas überfordert. Im toll dekorierten Zimmer gab es leider kein warmes Wasser. Das tolle Frühstück machte unsere Enttäuschung wieder wett.
