Excellent accommodations with a most caring staff. Owner Jan goes out of her way to ensure you have everything you need and want. Provided a light snack to take to the airport for an early morning flight. Not in the touristy part of Rabat and you really get the feel of the local residents.

Amazing!!
There aren’t enough stars or words to describe how exceptional our experience was at The Repose! I could go on and on about it all. The themed rooms are perfect and so fun. The beds and pillows are more comfortable than my own. The meals! Oh the meals! But what really makes the whole thing an experience instead of just a place to stay are the hosts. Morocco has a gift in Jan and Rachid. They are the best advertisement for Salé and Morocco and made our first trip here comfortable and inviting. They go above and beyond constantly. We are sad to leave.

Lovely Traditional Riad
This was a lovely retreat in Sale, across the water from Rabat. It was great for a couple of days before starting our longer Moroccan tour. The rooms were all delightful and we stayed in the Mango Suite which was beautifully decorated as each the rooms were. Our host, Jan, was extremely helpful and friendly. We ate a delicious vegetarian meal at the riad on our first night - great cooking - and breakfast was amazing.

Amazing experience!
The Riad is beautiful and the staff were wonderful. We were welcomed with tea and homemade cookies and then shown to our suite. We ordered the dinner the first night and the food and service were outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and very plentiful. Jan and her staff have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and fun (including a tortoise on the terrace which our 5 year loved to feed).

Small idiosyncratically decorated riad with lots of charm and decent comfort. Owner Jan and her staff do everything to help guests enjoy Rabat-Sale (fantastic house made cookies to greet you on arrival, wonderful and very reasonable massage service). Rooms are a good size and comfortabe, showers a bit feeble. Easy 200 meter walk from nearest point accessible to a taxi.

I didn’t stay the the full term,as the area felt very old and run down. Didn’t feel safe there attall. Also I felt the the owners could of given me back a small refund,rather than saying I booked through Expedia so this can’t happen. I’m sure they could off,as I only stayed 3 days out of the 9 days.Disapointing.

Great Riad ,but we paid what we were quoted
The Riad is really pretty and the service is very friendly. Unfortunately there is some confusion with the payment. We booked the room for 50euro on hotel.com and agreed with the owner on email that they will use xe.com exchange rate on the check-in date minus 0.5 to calculate the local currency payment payment. However, when we checked out we are informed that there is a local price they charge and the 50 euro quote on hotel.com is irrelevant, so in the end we paid more then what we were quoted. The payment we paid(cash) is more then the 50euro times agreed exchange rate. Not very honest business

From food to service, it was simply amazing!
This was my second stay here and again was only here for an evening prior to an early morning flight. Again they met every expectation - From food and drink upon our arrival, to a tour of the riad. The driver coming at 4:45 in the morning was no problem and completely on time. It was an amazing place to stay but it was the food that exceeded expectations on this visit - The food was simply amazing. Differed so much from traditional moroccan food, yet kept the moroccan vibe all the same. It was vegitarian, and my parents were raving about it. The pate will make me come back to dine again!

Fine for an overnight stay.
The hotel is nice and the owners making a good job in turning the place into a nice place. The place is quite and the staff is very helpful. The location is in the old town of Sale which is away from Rabat around 3mi, but the taxi drivers won't accept go there for safety and regulations reasons. So, if you decided to book here, just make sure to get to the Sale train station and contact the hotel to arrange for a pickup and drop off. Also, make sure to contact the hotel about your arrival time to have your room ready upon your arrival. The place is not family-friendly

Lovely Riad
The Repose is located in Sale, not Rabat. Rabat is across the bay. This riad was in a nice local area and it was not touristy. Very local experience! Hosts, Jan & Rachid are fantastic hosts! They were very attentive to all our needs and extremely accommodating. Rooms were clean, comfortable and cool despite the heat. The only negative is that the Riad is located next to a noisy street and a mosque so it can be loud at times. The dinners are fantastic and all food is locally sourced. Mint tea is amazing! Staff were helpful and fluent in English. Highly recommend this place.

Unforgettable Service
I have stayed in many hotels, but this has been FAR above and beyond the greatest experience I have ever had and opened my eyes to what a true 5-star experience should be. Every small detail was accounted for, from remembering our coffee preferences to running our bags into the room without prompting. We had a massage in the riad and a beautifully prepared romantic dinner during our stay and both were absolutely amazing (and reasonably priced). Jan, the owner and manager, made us feel welcome and gave us some great tips before we even checked in. For the rest of our trip we compared all our stays, many of which were double or triple the price, and none came even close to the experience at The Repose. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and will recommend it to everyone who even mentions they will be travelling to Morocco.

Good place
The hotel is located deep in the Sale old town, and if you arrive by private car, you can just navigate to the nearest road and park along the road side just like what local people do, free of charge. The service is good, and they seems to provide SPA service, although I didn't try. I actually forgot this reservation is payment on arrival, because all my other reservations are fully prepaid. Therefore when I left in hurry, as no one was in the courtyard, I just left the key in the room. Thankfully the hotel is able to charge me with the credit card info provided to guarantee the reservation. Hope this did not bother anyone.

Perfect Retreat
We spent a few days in Fez and had one night in Rabat before flying out of Casablanca. We were so pleased with our choice of stay for our one night in the city. It's a great location in the medina, very convenient to get to and from without having to get caught up in the winding neighborhood. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and generous. The dinner and service are fabulous and the place is absolutely gorgeous. When my partner and I checked in and toured the place, our bedroom had a queen bed. When we returned we were surprised to find the staff had decided to change us to two twin beds. Regardless, it was a pleasant stay with great atmosphere and we would recommend it to others.
