Riad Rabat l'Alcazar
A courtyard-pool riad steps from the Kasbah des Oudayas
About this stay
Riad Rabat l'Alcazar sits among the derbs closest to the Kasbah des Oudayas, close enough that the ramparts overlooking the Bou Regreg estuary are a short walk from the courtyard door. The riad's pool sits inside that courtyard rather than on a rooftop, giving guests a shaded dip between visits to the medina's souks. A restaurant covers meals on site, useful on evenings when navigating back through the derbs after dark feels like more effort than staying in. Air conditioning and airport shuttle service round out a stay built around the medina rather than resort-style amenities.

Our take
I would book Riad Rabat l'Alcazar for travellers who want to sleep inside the medina walls near the Kasbah des Oudayas, with a courtyard pool as a rare bonus for a riad. The restaurant on site means fewer evening trips through the lanes. Anyone wanting resort-scale amenities or a spa should look at a larger hotel. Its draw is the position and the courtyard, backed by a 9.0 rating.
- Call ahead so a rider host can meet you near the Kasbah des Oudayas gate, since no car reaches this riad's courtyard door.
- Book a courtyard-facing room if the pool view matters, since some rooms face the derb instead.
- Eat at least one dinner on site, since the restaurant saves a walk back through the medina's narrow lanes after dark.
Why we love it
- Courtyard pool inside the medina walls
- Steps from the Kasbah des Oudayas
- Restaurant for evenings without a walk
- Airport shuttle despite the medina location
Why guests love itI would choose Riad Rabat l'Alcazar for a first stay inside the Rabat medina, close to the Kasbah des Oudayas. The listing gives a courtyard pool, a restaurant, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and an airport shuttle. It is reached on foot from the nearest parking outside the walls, so I would travel light. It is a five-star riad with a 9.0 rating from 126 reviews, and I would pick it for position and courtyard rather than a long amenity list.
