Dar Kika Salam by Dks

Dar Kika Salam by DKS, another good find hidden gem!! We were welcomed with open arms by Hicham who would not let us lift a finger… Hicham carried all our items from the beginning to the end of our stay. He advised us where to walk, eat, and tour. The riad and room were exactly as advertised… footsteps to all Madina dining and shopping. The rooftop breakfast was simple and super cute all again served by the amazing Hicham!!! This is a gorgeous beautifully decorated riad! As long as you have done your research to understand riad style locations… you will enjoy Dar Kika Salam by DKS!

If you are looking real experience of a RIAD, than go to DKS in Rabat. The host and service is great as well as location (especially because it is only 2 minutes easy walk from the place taxi leaves you and it is in medina). We enjoyed the atmosphere, sleeping, kindness, breakfast at the terrace. Excellent expirience!

I stayed here on my own and was delighted by the care shown by the host, the friendliness and the service. nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent. The breakfast and dining room has lovely views across the city and the roof garden is nicely set up for sunbathing and relaxing. It's just inside the Medina so easy to walk out to the sea and the city walls or along to the market. I was very taken with Rabat generally-everyone was friendly and helpful. I thought the Riad was great and excellent value and would definitely go again

Dar Kika Salam By DKS was absolutely a cultural gem and a fantastic find. Many reviews referred to it as a hotel, but technically it was a guest house. We had reserved the largest available room which overlooked the street in front. It was spacious, light, top-to-bottom fitted with beautiful tiles and wonderful. Although the bathroom was quite small, it sufficed and was conveniently located outside the actual bedroom and off our vestibule entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts which were made to order and served in the upper rooftop dining room/areas. It was not your typical breakfast buffet with plastic utensils, disposible paper plates or cups...tea service anyone? We also had an incredible dinner experience which we have already reviewed separately. Since Dar Kika Salam was originally an elegant home for a family of three generations and converted into a guesthouse, there were clearly some inconveniences. It was definitely not a hotel, but we were completely prepared and totally loved the experience. The guest house was located directly across a street from the Andalusian Gardens, ancient Citadel, Rabat Old Town and an easy walk to the Atlantic Ocean. The staff, especially Abdel, was really great and extremely helpful with recommendations, reservations and directions. One suggestion --- we needed better directions to the guest house. Our taxi driver from the airport went around the general locale several times, got frustrated and finally just dropped us off. Of course the difficulty communicating in English with him did not help. Locals were extremely friendly and helpful, and one young man actually ended up leading us through a side street to the guest house door. It was not a problem returning to the airport by taxi which Abdel had to call.
