What a dump. For the price (750 dh!!!!!) we got a room that was smokier than a dingy bar, yucky carpets that had not been cleaned, changed or vacuumed since the hotel was probably built a shower of sorts, a super gross glass that was probably rinsed in the toilet. We are not uber picky or fussy travellers and stayed... More

For the price paid (350 dirhams per night including breakfast for a single room) it's decent enough. Great location next to the train station, friendly staff, clean rooms. The hotel would be in serious need of some renovation / refurbishing, but for a business trip where you dont spend much time in the hotel room it's fine. Internet only worked... More

I visited this hotel in the weekend (Sat-Monday). In the basement there is a nightclub, even in a room on the 3nd floor it sounds like it is just one level below. Pounding music until 4:00 in the morning makes it hard to sleep. Perhaps better during weekdays, the room was large and clean.

Right by the train station where you will catch your train to Meknes/Fes on a main thoroughfare running through the city. Breakfast was okay; nothing to write home about. Setting for it was unusual as you had to exit the hotel, walk across the pavement into a bar, go up some stairs and into the dining room. You will think... More

As mentioned by others; a grand old lady with a perfect location near the train station. We stayed here for 2 nights and had a room on the 5th floor. That was nice because there was a lot of noice coming from the streets. Only minor thing; the elevator was next to our room. The room is spacious and clean.... More

I stayed here back in June 2006, clean hotel, great service, they have a good restaurant and easy to access. As it was 6 years since i was there i hope it still has the same feel as it did back then. Compared to other hotels i have stayed in and around Europe its one of the best and well... More

Rabat is surprisingly laid back for a capital and a treat for a couple of days. 15 years have passed since my last visit and the Balima remains a favourite. Well placed for the main station and its new tramway system, as well as a walking distance to the principal points of interest, or an 8 -15 dhrs petit taxi... More

I have stayed here twice now and have been satisfied both times. The Grand Old dame of rabat hotels is getting worn and faded, but still has enough going for it. The Good: LOCATION ! It is literally a 5 min. walk from the train station. We walked everywhere we wanted to go within 20-25 min ( medina, kasbah, mausoleum,... More

1997 was our first stay. We stayed several other times since, but April 2012 will be our last at the Balima when we return to Rabat, unless the owners invest heavily to bring the quality and service of this property up to 21st Century international hotel service standard. The location on Mohaamed V- Ave and 5 minutes walk from the... More
