Great quiet place near water
Great Place to stay! Helpful and very friendly staff. A nice small swimming pool to cool down and a quite nice place. The room was clean and the bathroom was nice. Nice Terrace and nice breakfast. Would definitely recommend and will be staying there next time. Recommend going inside to the hotel by going from the water side of the Medina

Dar Zen
DAR ZEN is a lovely authentic Morroccan hotel. Located in the old town in Medina. The staff are really helpful and professional. I really enjoyed my stay and thanks so much to Tarek for all the help .

This riad was a dream. Pretty quaint and tucked in the middle of the medina. Google maps did not direct us infront of the riad, but its not that hard to find if u pay attention and zoom in the map. Its very relaxing to stay in this riad and we were in the camel room with. O ac in the middle of June but had a fan in it, and it was not hot. The host asked us if we ‘d prefer a room w ac, which were upstairs but we wanted the room closer to the pool. It was excellent.

The property was just as beautiful as the pictures show. The only issue was getting there. You need internet access to a good GPS and no taxi can get you to the door. You will need to walk for about 10 min with your luggage and GPS to find it. But it is worth the walk, and very peaceful. Although it is very quiet it was not that private as our room was right next to the common area. Overall I would recommend this place. There were many tourist attractions within walking distance. I also recommend walking down to the beach and oceanside.

This was our first stay in Morocco. Room was simply decorated. The tub in the middle of the room was interesting. Hard for me to wash my long hair but soaking in it after walking miles each day was heaven. The level of the bathroom mirror was too low, but likely limited because of room architecture. The AC unit stopped working in the middle of the night, so a few warm hours. Despite this hiccups, it was a nice refuge from the bustling medina and Tarik was sweet and helpful.

Endroit sympa, bien situé dans la médina. Responsable du Riad très accueillante et homme de maison super dispo ! Seul chose préférer prendre les taxis bleu plutôt que le taxi conseillé par le riad pour les déplacements dans la ville cela vous coûtera bien moins cher.

Un emplacement tranquille au coeur de la Medina de Rabat, pas très loin du tram et des artères commerçantes. Le Dar Zen est un lieu de séjour très agréable. Service impeccable de Tarik.

chambre correct équipée d'une baignoire de 200l (dans un pays qui manque d'eau???), pas de douche donc, petit déjeuner médiocre avec les produits de l'épicerie du coin, service minimum malgré les meilleurs efforts de l'équipe d'employées en place, pas la magie d'un RIAD, pour 1500DHS la nuit, je m'attendais à bien mieux...

Un Séjour Royal.
L’endroit est sublime. Fatiha et Tarik sont très serviables, professionnels et accueillant. Dar Zen est un riad idéal pour les gens qui cherchent la tranquillité : c’est paisible et confortable. L'endroit est tout simplement génial. Merci à Fatiha et àTarik qui ont rendus notre fantastique.

Absolut traumhaftes Riad inmitten der Medina. Den Weg habe ich dank Google Maps und dem Plan, den Tarik mir im vorhinein geschickt hat, super gefunden. Die Atmophäre ist traumhaft und Tarik und Fatiha hätten bessere Gastgeber kaum sein können. Jedes Mal, wenn ich das Riad nach den Erkundungen von Rabat wieder betreten habe, fühlte es sich an wie nachhause kommen. Tarik hat mich am ersten Abend eingeladen mit ihnen mitzuessen und am morgen gabs Frühstück um gewünschte Zeit. Das Zimmer war widererwartet grösser als in den Rezensionen beschrieben wurde. Alles war liebevoll und wunderschön eingerichtet. Werde ich Rabat nochmals besuchen, werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder Dar Zen wählen!

This is my second stay at Dar Zen. Tarek, the caretaker is wonderful. I’ve read some negative comments in reviews but I couldn’t disagree more. The place is in the middle of a busy souk that is a bit intense - and you have to walk through (you cannot be driven to the door) so that could be a legit concern. However, if you’re after a genuine riad experience, where you are essentially left on your own, this is the place for you. Truth is the place is so peaceful, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Rabat. Sure there’s a bathtub in the middle of the room, but it’s a bit of a vibe. If your looking to have a Hilton experience, then go to a hotel. This is where you come to get a real Moroccan experience
