Riad Asswar
A quiet, simple riad among the medina's closest derbs
About this stay
Riad Asswar keeps a shorter amenity list than some of its neighbors, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a restaurant and airport shuttle service rather than a pool or hammam. That simplicity suits its position among the derbs closest to the Kasbah des Oudayas, where the draw is the medina setting itself rather than an extended facility list. Guests here get carved-door, courtyard-house architecture and a short walk to the ramparts overlooking the Bou Regreg estuary, without the added scale of the larger riads on this list.
- Free breakfast
- Restaurant
- Air conditioning
- Near the Kasbah
Our take
Riad Asswar suits travellers who want a quiet, uncomplicated medina stay close to the Kasbah des Oudayas, without a courtyard pool or spa wing adding to the cost. It works well for a shorter stay where the medina setting itself is the main draw rather than on-site facilities. Anyone wanting a pool or a hammam should compare other riads nearby that list more amenities within the same cluster of derbs.
- Call ahead so a host can meet you near the Kasbah des Oudayas, since no car reaches this riad's courtyard door.
- Book a nearby riad with a pool for your next visit if you find yourself wanting one, since Riad Asswar keeps things simple by design.
- Use the restaurant on quieter evenings rather than navigating the medina's derbs after dark for dinner elsewhere.
Why we love it
- Quiet, simple riad format
- Among the medina's closest derbs to the Kasbah
- Free breakfast included
- Airport shuttle despite the medina location
Why guests love itRiad Asswar sits inside Rabat's medina near the Kasbah des Oudayas, so I would suggest it to families who like staying within the old streets. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning keep the basics covered, and a restaurant and airport shuttle service help with meals and arrival. The nearest parking is outside the walls and the riad is reached on foot, which matters with luggage and small children. A 9.8 rating from 121 reviews is excellent.
